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.

We were recommended this place & it was well worth the stroll to find it. Best coffee I had in Montreal with the history of the cafe on the walls. If you arrive with a long queue it's still worth the wait to enjoy the coffee & what ever snack you have with it.

Remix is my favourite coffee of all time; absolutely worth the expense. The guys working are so handsome & friendly. Love the Italian club paraphernalia on the wall. Forza Inter!

Très bons café & chocolat chaud (prix taxes incluses) mais petites quantités...
Beaucoup de monde mais files d'attente assez rapide.
Bonne pâtisserie également.

To be honest the Crema Di Cafe is not that good & I don't understand the hype. It definitely tastes very strongly of coffee but the texture is like coffee creamer if you froze it. & also the more it melts the more it tastes fruity? Idk. But the atmosphere was 10/10, peak musiic playing I went with my friend we spoke for like 3 hours. Would definitely recommend if you're meeting up with someone you haven't seen in a long time.
