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.

So good!!! The remix drink is amazing, I got it twice, & I'm not even a huge coffee drinker. The pistachio gelato is also amazing! Highly recommend!!

Remix is my favourite coffee of all time; absolutely worth the expense. The guys working are so handsome & friendly. Love the Italian club paraphernalia on the wall. Forza Inter!

We got the remix. It was good. Although the thickness in the beginning made my straw in usable but it was great ! Would recommend.

It gets quite busy as well. But a must visit.

The coffee here is soooo good! Especially the Cafe Soft Serve. Highly recommend trying the remix (the soft serve, with a shot of espresso, & some milk)

The pastries here are ok, not the best. My friend got the cannoli & enjoyed it. However the cakes could be skipped.

Nice place. Line was to the door so it took a few minutes. Got the Remix & it was great, but I probably didn't need the larger size. I like the decoration & the aesthetic that they are going for. I would come back next time I am in the area to try more menu items.
