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.

Nous nous sommes rendus un jour de canicule pour aller y savourer leur fameux crema di caffè. Nous avons attendu plus de 30 minutes, d'abord à l'extérieur (sous la chaleur) & ensuite à l'intérieur (le local n'arrivait pas à se climatiser) pour arriver au comptoir pour prendre notre commande pour nous faire dire qu'il n'y en avait pas de disponible (ils auraient pu en informer les gens dans la file!) & pour se faire offrir une alternative (très moche) que nous croyons au même prix (4.50$) mais finalement à 7.50$! Nous avions l'impression d'avoir été arnaqué & traité comme un vulgaire touriste dans notre propre quartier. Plus jamais je ne mettrai les pieds dans cet établissement.

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.
