Reviews consistently highlight Café Olimpico for bold, high quality coffee, authentic Italian energy, and a welcoming, bustling vibe that makes it feel like a neighborhood gathering spot. The pastry and sandwich offerings, especially tiramisu, pistachio treats, and mortadella sandwiches, are frequently praised, while the coffee itself is described as standout and reliable across locations. Staff are described as friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, contributing to a warm atmosphere even in busy times, though seating can be tight and lines can get long during peak hours. Some guests mention price points and occasional service quirks, and a few note issues like flies or changes to dog policies. The Westmount branch is repeatedly praised for atmosphere and a terrace in good weather, and the overall impression across branches is that the cafe delivers strong coffee and a lively, inviting environment that draws regulars and first timers alike.
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.
I just love this coffee place so much! If there's one thing I'm going miss about Montréal, it's the two baristas working on saturdays at Café Olimpico Westmount. They give such good vibes & energy that you almost don't need to order the coffee anymore;) Plus, a little bonus, the coffee happens to be delicious!
A friendly place for locals. Westmount locals ;)
As far as the food is concerned, it's less than average, practically nothing. Bag teas, so-so coffee, & surprisingly miserable desserts...
No napkins with your order.
But the ambience is nice, it's in'old Italian' style; &, being not spoiled by quality businesses in the area, people still come here in crowds (discussing businesses & feeling selected... :-))

With all respect to the many great cafés in Montreal, Café Olimpico Westmount truly stands out.
It's not just about authentic coffee, it's about the warm spirit & the genuine people who make you feel like friends, not customers.
This place doesn't just serve coffee, it offers an experience. 👌☕?
Café Olimpico in Westmount is a great spot if you're looking for strong coffee & a cozy atmosphere. The espresso is consistently rich & bold, & you can tell they put care into the quality of their drinks. The staff are friendly & welcoming, which adds to the charm, & the café has a lively, European feel that makes it a nice place to catch up with friends or just enjoy a quick coffee break.
The space itself is warm & inviting, though it can get quite busy at times, which makes seating a little tricky during peak hours. Prices are fair for the quality, but expect a bit of a line during rush periods.
Overall, it's a spot worth visiting in Westmount if you enjoy authentic coffee & a vibrant café vibe.
I usually go to the one at the old port, so it was my fist time at the westmount one. & the service was just as great , the quality of the products was super fresh. Their coffee & their apple caramel cheesecake, their tiramisu as well was 🤩🤩 delicious . Definitely still in my top 5 coffee place🤗
Coming from BC we wanted to experience authentic coffee in Westmount (Montreal) & found this AMAZING coffee shop. I feel like I found family here - the engagement of the baristas is heartwarming & the coffee is so good - it will be remembered.
I've been to Olimpico in the Mile-End. Super happy they opened up their new location in the Westmount area. Super convenient & close to everything. We were served by Julien & EliJah who were soo kind & amazing to us. Amazing customer service. Definitely made this beautiful day even BETTER than it already was.
This is the only cafe that I can truly say has my heart. Amazing atmosphere & even better service with the warmest staff. Café Olimpico Westmount never fails to leave me with a bigger smile on my face than when I entered. The best coffee in Montreal & with the most delicious authentic Italian treats. (Their cappuccino's, mocha's & crema's are all to die for). Don't miss out!!
I came from Toronto to visit my family & have found my new favourite coffee shop in Westmount. Sean & Julien were friendly, attentive & efficient. They are the epitome of customer service. The place is packed yet the line moves quickly & it never feels like you are waiting-probably because the "vibe" is fantastic. I highly recommend anyone in Westmount who is looking for their new coffee shop to give these guys a shot!
Café haut de gamme, servi par une équipe attentionnée & toujours de bonne humeur. Que ce soit pour un café à emporter ou une pause gourmande entre amis, Olimpico Westmount est toujours une bonne idée ! ( Le choix est difficile parmi les pâtisseries & les sandwiches foccacia, mais une chose est sûre : vous ne serez jamais déçu !) Vous tomberez sous le charme du lieu & de l'équipe .
