Ive only ever been to the old port location which had staff with the biggest attitude & coffee was mid. The westmount location is fabulous, the staff is so lovely & helpful, the place is in the best location too.
Quel bel endroit pour faire une pause café à Westmount. L'ambiance est vraiment chaleureuse & invite à la détente.
Nous avons adoré nos cafés servis dans de jolies tasses en céramique brune. La mousse était parfaite, un vrai délice.
Impossible de repartir sans goûter à leurs pâtisseries. La généreuse couche de cacao sur le dessus était tout simplement irrésistible. C'est une adresse incontournable pour les amateurs de belles pauses gourmandes.
I lived a few blocks from the original location back in the 90s. Almost all my weekends started off with a Saint-Viateur bagel & a coffee from Open da Night. Then I moved away & decades passed. I was back at the Westmount location today after many years since my last visit. I was really happy to find the coffee is still the same & as great as ever! As I told the barista, the Olimpico latte is as good as the best coffees in Europe!
I've been to a lot of different locations for this franchise & this one is one of the best because of the decor & the location. The vibe in Westmount is so nice & the plans & the decor at this place make the experience of drinking coffee so much better.
Best coffee in town hands down … everyone knows this, duhh
But the westmount location is my absolute favourite for a few reasons
1. Beautiful neighborhood & beautiful people
2. Walking distance to lots of great shopping & metro
3. Antonino works here all week (pictured below) & he's dreamy
Also the cannolis are fantastico
Also did I mention the coffee is the best? ☕?
I really love this coffee place ❤?☕? If there's one thing I'm truly going to miss about Montréal, it's the two baristas working Saturdays at Café Olimpico Westmount. Their vibes & energy are so good that, honestly, you almost don't even need the coffee anymore 😉✨ They're friendly, upbeat, & make the whole place feel alive.
That said… let's talk coffee 😅
The atmosphere? 🔥 Cozy, lively, & perfect for hanging out.
The Americano? 🤏💸 Way too small for the price. Seriously, blink & it's gone.
Taste & quality? 😬 Not bad, but definitely not amazing - I'd give it a solid 4/10.
So yeah, I go there more for the people & the vibes than the coffee itself ☕?➡?😎
Great energy, great atmosphere, but if we're judging purely on taste & value… the coffee doesn't quite live up to the hype 🤷?♂?
Very nice Café in the heart of Westmount. I usually take a cortado & an apricot cornetto, which is really good. The place is quite busy, but with a bit of luck you'll find a seat. When the weather's nice, there's also a terrace from spring to autumn. The staff is nice & friendly.
