Always a treat to come to Cafe Olympico for their sandwiches. You can't go wrong with any of them! But if you have to choose one, you absolutely can not go wrong with the Mortadella sandwich!
Barista guy was amazing & sweet. Served us with a smile & even recommended a cookie that turned out to be amaaazing! Consistently good, their flat white is amazing!
Before reaching why I gave them 2 star, let's talk about what was good.
To be fare, their coffee taste was very good. I also took 2 pastries, both were perfect & delicious. So, nothing is wrong about what they have.
The issue is there is a sign on the door that says don't bring your dogs inside.
I'm afraid of dogs, & more than that, I don't like to have animals in the restaurant & coffee shops were I'm eating.
But during the time I was there, several people with dogs (including very big one) come & go & I should change my seat several times to avoid those dogs jump on me
The employees did not care when I showed my sadness about this issue.
So either remove that sign from the door (which was the reason I selected this coffee shop to go inside) or if you have that sign, respect it yourself.
Classic Montreal coffee.
Service was great but parking is not free (next door is Metro only parking) & inside the location, it is pretty crowded due to its popularity.
Still enjoyed my drink (I got the Remix) but it is quite expensive ($8) for such a small cup…
