About

Café Olimpico operates as a quintessential Italian-style espresso bar focusing on the craft of traditional coffee preparation. Patrons encounter a robust selection of dark-roast espressos, cappuccinos, and lattes prepared using high-pressure extraction methods. The establishment emphasizes a streamlined menu of classic Italian sweets, including fresh cannoli and flaky biscotti intended to pair with potent caffeine servings. An open, communal layout facilitates a high-traffic environment where the focus remains strictly on rapid service and beverage quality. The aesthetic reflects a minimalist approach to European coffee culture, devoid of unnecessary ornamentation or elaborate table settings. Guests primarily utilize the counter space for quick consumption of pastries and meticulously pulled shots. This location maintains a consistent reputation for delivering authentic Mediterranean caffeine standards within an efficient and unpretentious setting.

Nous nous sommes rendus un jour de canicule pour aller y savourer leur fameux crema di caffè. Nous avons attendu plus de 30 minutes, d'abord à l'extérieur (sous la chaleur) & ensuite à l'intérieur (le local n'arrivait pas à se climatiser) pour arriver au comptoir pour prendre notre commande pour nous faire dire qu'il n'y en avait pas de disponible (ils auraient pu en informer les gens dans la file!) & pour se faire offrir une alternative (très moche) que nous croyons au même prix (4.50$) mais finalement à 7.50$! Nous avions l'impression d'avoir été arnaqué & traité comme un vulgaire touriste dans notre propre quartier. Plus jamais je ne mettrai les pieds dans cet établissement.

We got the remix. It was good. Although the thickness in the beginning made my straw in usable but it was great ! Would recommend.

It gets quite busy as well. But a must visit.

Joli lieu avec un service sympathique!
Il faut peut-être s'armer de patience selon l'heure au vu du monde.
