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.
Not listed on the menu - excellent hospitality! The vibe, the service & Shawn, yes Shawn, the man behind the counter who made ours & everyone's experience great. Thanks for making us feel welcome!
My new favourite spot for coffee, delicious food, & refreshingly pleasant staff who genuinely seem to enjoy the work they're doing, which adds so much to the experience. It has quickly become a regular stop for me while out & about or walking home from the metro.
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 .

L'ambiance & le personnel sont très agreable ! La qualite des produits est excellente, tout comme le service a la clientele ! Je vous encourage a venir jeter un oeil
Today, I went to Café Olimpico Westmount which I usually go every weekend. They are generally polite & pleasant, but today their behavior was very inappropriate. I had asked them to put the pastries in a large box & specifically emphasized that I didn't want a small box. They slyly agreed but ended up doing what they wanted anyway. In the end, they simply said, "It is what it is." Even if you have the best pastries & coffee in the world, without proper & responsible service, you'll fail in the business. Aujourd'hui, comme chaque week-end, je suis allée au Café Olimpico Westmount. D'habitude, ils sont polis & accueillants, mais aujourd'hui, leur comportement a été très inapproprié. Je leur avais demandé de mettre les pâtisseries dans une grande boîte, en insistant sur le fait que je ne voulais pas de petite boîte. Ils ont sournoisement dit "d'accord" mais ont fait à leur guise. À la fin, ils ont simplement dit : "C'est comme ça." Même si vous avez les meilleures pâtisseries & café du monde, sans un service correct & responsable, vous êtes voués à l'échec.

Delicious coffee always. Thank you. Very good atmosphere, like you are more happy, very positive. Thank you Sebastian, cookies are also very tasty. Delicious.
My new favourite coffee shop! Love this place, already a big fan of Olimpico coffee so I was thrilled to find one close to home in Westmount. Julien was warm & friendly on our first visit on our second Sean & Elijah were so kind as well & also gave us attentive & great service. The coffees were delicious & a great selection of desserts. I love the decor, vibe & music they play. They were kind enough to let me know that they have a playlist on Spotify titled: Olimpico Westmount. It's an endless compilation of music that will transport you to a happy place! Thank you!! Joanne
The food, coffee, decor & staff are amazing. I have been many times & its always consistently good. The only downside - which is not the fault of the cafe - is that it is always very busy & you may not always find a seat because it is a pretty small space. The clientele here can be pushy at times & not respectful of the small space.
