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.

Cute, vibey coffee shop with a super friendly staff & the perfect ambiance for reading, writing, or enjoying a relaxed afternoon. I ducked into Cafe Olimpico to hide from the rain, & it was such a pleasant surprise of a spot; the barista was super friendly & clearly knew all of the locals / regulars. The line moves pretty slowly, so I wouldn't necessarily recommend this spot if you're in a rush, but it's a great spot if you're okay with a more relaxed pace & want to spend a few minutes chatting with the barista.

The cafe tends to be rather crowded, but if you manage to snag a spot at a table, it's a super cozy spot to hang out. I love the stone walls & dark wooden furniture, which gives the whole shop a very homey vibe. I ended up staying there for well over two hours (even though the rain had long since passed), & it was delightful.

The coffee is solid, but not the highlight of this cafe. I also love that they're open late, so it's a great spot for evening / night hang-outs.View more

The Remix was quite good. Kind of reminds me of a tiramisu in a cup.

The Latte Freddo is not as sweet & more refreshing since it is more of a black coffee slush that they add your choice of milk to.

There was a lineup but the service was quick & friendly. There is also a lot of seating which was nice.View more

One of our favorite places to grab a delicious coffee here in Montréal. We love having the option to either enjoy indoors or outdoors on their extensive patio. Plenty of seating for everybody & people watching on the street. Their coffee is consistently rich delicious & flavorful. Even if there's a line up, it moves very quickly like a well-oiled machine!View more

Cafe Olimpico: Where Dreams of Intellectualism Go to Perch (for Three Hours)

Ah, Cafe Olimpico. The jewel of Mile End, where the discarded youth of Laval flock to cosplay as literary giants. If you've ever yearned to witness the pinnacle of performative productivity, this is your Mecca. Here, the aroma of stale coffee mingles with the subtle scent of desperation from those trying to impress their imaginary agents.

The main attraction, of course, is the congregation of'aspiring' artists &'deep thinkers.' They arrive, clutching their dog-eared copies of *Infinite Jest* (which they've definitely read beyond page 10), & settle in for their three-hour coffee ceremony. Don't expect scintillating conversation; the only audible sounds are the soft clatter of MacBooks & the occasional, deeply profound sigh.

The coffee itself? It's... coffee. But that's hardly the point, is it? You're not here for the caffeine; you're here for the *ambiance*. The priceless opportunity to observe young people in their natural habitat, meticulously crafting their online personas while appearing utterly detached from the world.

So, if you're looking for a quiet place to actually get some work done, keep walking. But if you're in the mood for a masterclass in hipster theatrics, grab a (lukewarm) latte, find a corner, & enjoy the show. Just try not to make eye contact; you might disrupt their carefully constructed aura of aloof intellectualism.View more
