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.

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.

The café crema was absolutely delicious. My boyfriend & I visited from NY after seeing so much hype on social media & it was totally worth it. Wish we had something like this in NY. It literally tastes as if you eating ice cream; so creamy. I waited a while to be assisted because the line was longg but totally worth it.

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!
