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.
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!!
This is by far the best cafe I have ever been to! The enthusiastic staff takes the time to talk to you & make every visit feel special. The atmosphere is warm, inviting & full of positive energy. Whether you're quickly stopping for a delicious espresso or lingering for a snack, you'll feel right at home. Can't recommend this place enough!!
Another nice café olimpico. We went on nye & it was a bit busy but great coffee. The barista was super chill. He made want to visit all the branches lol.
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!
Visiting this cozy classic Cafe in a foggy late December morning was such a mesmerizing experience. Sean & Sabby are absolutely coffee wizards! The vibe, atmosphere & decoration, along with Italian coffee aroma made the day to remember. A Big Thank You from Heli & Simon Season's Greetings
