CaféDesserts & SweetsCatering
Nestled in the heart of the ever-growing Mile End district, Café Olimpico has undoubtedly been one of Montreal's best-kept secrets. In a city known for its multiculturalism, Café Olimpico's European flavor definitely fits the bill. Founded in 1970 by the late Rocco Furfaro, this vibrant and charming café has not only withstood the test of time but has brought together people from all walks of life. From the businessman who sips his early morning espresso, to the artists and students who leisurely enjoy their afternoon cappuccino, Café Olimpico has proven to be a great place to meet great people.

i used to go to other italian coffee places but this one is gonna be my favorite one for now. the service is so good, their espresso so yummy & the staff, they do a great job. its kinda packed sometimes, depending the day or the time you go there but, it's worth the visit for a single espresso or some tiramisu. the ambience is so nice, as they play old school songs. you feel like back in the 80s, some italian 80s vibes lol.

The cannoli was bite size compared to the images provided on the google account. Vibes were immaculate. The queue to get coffee was long, but the service was extremely quick! The workers knew what they were doing.

I went there on a sunny Sunday afternoon with my sisters. The whole vibe is really loud & chill 😎. The waiting line was super long, it started right when we entered the room, we made a u turn & then went to the counter. Since it was 4 of us, we ordered a bunch of desserts to share. Unfortunately, the cashier got one of our orders wrong, & it was too busy & packed. Then, we were not able to get back to him to correct it. As for the cafe, the latte was pretty standard, good but not fantastic, the cappuccino with sugar was pretty though. We shared two tiramisu, it was rich & tasty overall, a bit too sweet to my taste. The fried Italian doughnut looking dessert ( forgot the name) was decadent , filled with ricotta, not too sweet, & I like it better. If you want to check them out, remember to go there on weekdays!

We've been here a few times & what brings us back every time besides the great coffee & food is vibes. Definitely a place to be if you want to experience or give someone an experience of Montreal nightlife. The last time we went, we ordered a Cortado with non-dairy milk & a regular Americano along with a Tiramisu & Canoli. Cortado, Americano & Tiramisu were great. Not a fan of Canoli. The atmosphere is great. Although that means finding a table can be challenging. Staff is great & friendly. Street parking outside which might be difficult to find close by. Definitely recommended!!
