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.

Café Olimpico is widely regarded as a legendary Montreal institution, celebrated for its authentic Italian vibe and high-quality coffee. Visitors frequently praise the rich, smooth espresso, the signature Remix drink, and delicious treats like tiramisu, cannoli, and bomboloni. While the café is consistently busy and often features long queues, the staff is described as professional, fast, and welcoming. The lively atmosphere makes it a prime spot for socializing and people watching, with many patrons enjoying the cozy, old-school decor or the outdoor terrace.

Stopped by this cafe on a whim while walking around the area & I am so glad I did. The interior has a cool retro vibe & the coffee actually tastes like it was made by someone who knows what they are doing. I ordered a latte & it had the perfect microfoam texture that is so hard to find these days. It is definitely a popular spot so be prepared to wait a few minutes for a table but it is worth the patience. I will be making this my new regular weekend stop for sure.

You don't stay in business for more than 50 years & establish several locations & have lineups of customers if you weren't great, & this basically Café Olimpico in a nutshell.

Excellent coffee, decadent gelato & exquisite desserts, in a welcoming environment that proudly showcases its history, coupled with exceptional customer service that's both attentive & friendly.

This was my first visit to Café Olimpico, & if I lived in Montréal, I would've been a regular. You must try this café, you'll be impressed like I was.

Leur café est tellement bon!! Meilleur latté que j'ai bu, j'suis accroc. Les bomboloni sont délicieux! Il y a toujours de longues files d'attente, mais le service est rapide, ça vaut le coup d'attendre.

Even though it's a very busy café, the attention was very good & their products are tasty. The cafe olímpico location in Mile End, has a lovely terrace & you can chill there with your coffee & watch some TV. Really liked the place.

Cafe Olimpico -Mile End
WOW 5 stars, chefs kiss.
I've visited the Olimpico in Westmount many times & am very familiar with the hospitality of the staff there (outstanding) & this being the second location I've visited- Olimpico as a chain is warm, professional, & friendly across the board!!
Specifically Alex & Claudio- even on an astoundingly busy Sunday rush, their attentiveness & attention to detail is revelling. Not bogged down by the rush & unwavering'pep' in their step.
Other cafes pale in comparison, although busy their demeanor could put an ornery businessman at ease!
A bustling atmosphere & smiles coming in & out of this place. They greet you like family- in a true Italian style with added expertise & poise.
AMAZING coffee & treats that make it hard for me not to buy all of their pastries lol.
Places like this radiate the essence of community & are the heart of Montreal in my opinion.
Just wish I lived closer!!
