Café Olimpico stands out for its authentic Italian vibe, lively atmosphere, and consistently strong coffee across locations. Reviewers praise friendly staff and attentive service that help make each visit feel welcoming. Pastries, tiramisu, and Italian sandwiches are frequently highlighted as highlights, with some notes that croissants can be disappointing and that pastry freshness can vary. The Westmount location is described as cozy and vibrant, with a pleasant terrace in warmer months. Crowds and peak hours can make seating tricky, and there are occasional comments about price for small drinks. Many fans love the mortadella sandwich and the Remix coffee, along with the rich espresso and pistachio treats, while a few say the coffee is great but value varies. The atmosphere is repeatedly described as a reason to return, a place to hang out with friends or study, and the staff’s warmth a recurring positive theme. Overall, Café Olimpico is seen as a Montreal staple that blends strong coffee with a welcoming community feel, though travelers should be prepared for busy moments and menu variability.
I have had great experiences at other locations of this cafe-friendly service & delicious, hot lattes. Unfortunately, this visit didn't live up to that standard. The service here left rushed & inattentive, & the latte wasn't hot or well prepared as I've come to expect. It is disappointing , because I know how good this cafe can be when done right.
I'll say I have a wonderful experience most of the time. They are friendly & coffee, sandwiches & pastry are good. Just happened 2 times that one of the employee was rude …. But most of the time this place is perfect. One of my weekly go to. They used to allow dog but not anymore… which is sad since it was one of the only place I could go sit with my little Frenchie during winter.
This spot nails it-great coffee, even better vibes. The cappuccinos hit just right, & the people behind the counter are genuinely the nicest coolest people I've ever met. Definitely adding it to the regular rotation.

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.
