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.

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

Un bon café comme on en retrouve dans les cafés authentiques.
Par contre, souvent il y a beaucoup de gens qui commandent donc ça peut être long avant s'être servi.
Dès lors, pourquoi imposer un minimum de 18% de pourboire?
Ça ne vous gêne pas?
J'aurais honte à votre place!

The best in Montreal!! We ordered the Affogato & the Triple Mix, & both were delicious. The coffee was rich & flavorful, & the desserts were fresh & well made.

The atmosphere was cozy, & the staff were friendly & welcoming. The wait was approx 90 minutes.

This frozen, creamy coffee delight was my favorite taste during my 4 days in Montreal. Get the large - you won't regret it. This treat was perfect on a hot summer day.
