Nestled in the heart of the ever-growing Mile End district, Café Olimpico has undoubtedly been one of Montreal's best-kept secrets. In a city known for its multiculturalism, Café Olimpico's European flavor definitely fits the bill. Founded in 1970 by the late Rocco Furfaro, this vibrant and charming café has not only withstood the test of time but has brought together people from all walks of life. From the businessman who sips his early morning espresso, to the artists and students who leisurely enjoy their afternoon cappuccino, Café Olimpico has proven to be a great place to meet great people.

Ça ne se fait pas de fermer à 23h alors que sur google vous mettez la fermeture à 00h00. Le personnel nettoie la salle pendant que tous les clients sont assis. À 22h40, ils indiquent aux gens qu'ils peuvent plus rester!!! Un minimum de respect quand meme !!! Il y a des gens qui viennent de loin pour recevoir ce genre de servicee !!!

We ordered a cortado & cappuccino, both of which were nicely prepared. The coffee itself is a safe bean, not having a strong flavour profile (i.e. minimal chcolate, no flaural notes).
The place is popular to the point of bursting & unfortunately how far from downtown it is made it not worth the trek. Seating is at a serious premium & other patrons were rather rude about the whole thing, with people scooping up tables or holding them for who knows what reason or arguing over who was waiting for what.

Café Olimpico in the Mile End is a legendary institution for a reason. Their old-school espresso is consistently perfect-strong, smooth, & authentic. The atmosphere captures that classic Italian café vibe perfectly, making it the best spot to grab a coffee & soak in the local energy. In the summer, their outdoor terrace is the place to be, offering a great space to relax & enjoy the neighborhood. It is a must-visit for any coffee purist.

Great coffee
Great tiramisu
Great staff
Great vibes
Also great that they use tons of'small' tables. This allows more spacing & grouping for groups/couples/solo.

This is hands down my favorite coffee shop. The coffee is consistently excellent-rich, smooth, & made with care. You can really tell they take pride in what they serve.
The atmosphere is cozy & welcoming, whether you're stopping by for a quick coffee or sitting down to relax. The staff are always friendly, attentive, & make you feel right at home.
It's one of those places you keep coming back to-not just for the coffee, but for the overall vibe. Highly recommended to anyone who appreciates great coffee & great service.

I got a latte (withone sugar & sweetener) & the taste was simple & elegant. They dont have any flavoured sweetener. However, superbusy & buzzing

My recent visit to this café left me uncomfortable.
I observed clear inconsistencies in how different customers were approached & served, which created a negative impression.
In a diverse city like Montreal, I believe it's important that all guests receive the same level of attention & respect.
I hope the management takes steps to ensure a more consistent & welcoming environment for everyone.
Ma récente visite dans ce café m'a mis mal à l'aise.
J'ai remarqué des différences évidentes dans la façon dont certains clients étaient approchés & servis, ce qui a laissé une impression négative.
Dans une ville diversifiée comme Montréal, il est important que tous les clients reçoivent le même niveau d'attention & de respect.
J'espère que la direction prendra des mesures pour assurer un environnement plus cohérent & accueillant pour tous.
