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 came twice in one day - once at 10 AM & again at 3 PM. & there was always a queue. It's definitely a popular spot!

My Favorite:
- Cappuccino: The foam on top pairs well with the coffee. This was my favorite coffee of my entire Montreal trip!

Nice to Try:
- Tiramisu: They soak it with maple syrup. Personally, I thought it was an interesting local twist, but it was a bit too sweet for my taste. I still prefer the traditional version.
- Affogato: We paired it with pistachio gelato. It was also a little too sweet for me, but it was wonderfully rich & creamy!

Overall, it's a great place to just come, relax, & enjoy the city with a really good coffee.

Great coffee & a nice atmosphere. I also tried the tiramisu cake-it was acceptable, though not the highlight of my visit.

Très mauvaise expérience chez Olympico. Alors que toute la terrasse était remplie de supporters venus regarder le match de l'Algérie, les employés ont refusé de mettre le match dès le début. Leur excuse ? « La batterie du téléphone est plate », ce qui ne semblait pas sérieux. Résultat : nous avons raté les 10 premières minutes du match. Le personnel s'est montré irrespectueux, hautain & peu soucieux de satisfaire ses clients. C'est vraiment décevant de traiter une clientèle de cette façon. Je ne recommande pas cet établissement.
