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.

We came twice in one day - once at 10 AM & again at 3 PM. & there was always a queue. It's definitely a popular spot!

My Favorite:
- Cappuccino: The foam on top pairs well with the coffee. This was my favorite coffee of my entire Montreal trip!

Nice to Try:
- Tiramisu: They soak it with maple syrup. Personally, I thought it was an interesting local twist, but it was a bit too sweet for my taste. I still prefer the traditional version.
- Affogato: We paired it with pistachio gelato. It was also a little too sweet for me, but it was wonderfully rich & creamy!

Overall, it's a great place to just come, relax, & enjoy the city with a really good coffee.

Great coffee & a nice atmosphere. I also tried the tiramisu cake-it was acceptable, though not the highlight of my visit.

Finally tired the remix which is really top, strong coffee flavour. The tiramisu was great as well! The service is quick, & tables turnaround fast.

Café Olimpico on Rue Saint Viateur in Mile End is one of the most unique coffee spots in Montréal with such a strong authentic Italian vibe & energy. Brought out of town guests to try what many consider the city's best & it absolutely did not disappoint. The affogato, côrtado, cappuccino, lemon sorbet granita & tiramisu were all outstanding. Every single thing we ordered was delicious.
The place was packed & we were lucky to grab seats indoors, which only added to the lively atmosphere. TVs were playing the Grand Prix & the whole café was buzzing. The staff serving us were super friendly & welcoming the entire time. Easily one of the best spots in the city for coffee, desserts & people watching. ☕🇮🇹🍋🍨🏁✨

We ordered tiramisus & had a couple of mochas. They were pretty decent, though I wish the mochas were a bit more chocolatey. I had to remove some stars because I wanted some chocolate croissant, but there were bugs in their pastry shelf & the tiramisus were watery ☹?
