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.

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. Although some customers find the space crowded, noisy, or note that the bathroom facilities require more frequent attention, most agree that the exceptional coffee and vibrant energy make it an essential stop for anyone in the city.

I tried their pistachio cream bomboloni, & honestly, it was incredible. The pistachio filling was unbelievably creamy with just the right amount of sweetness - not too heavy, not too sugary. The doughnut itself was soft, fluffy, & super fresh, which made every bite perfect.

I had a doppio too. The coffee was smooth, rich, & bold, exactly what you'd expect from a café with such a strong reputation.

The whole experience felt authentic & comforting. If you're in Montreal & love good pastries & great coffee, Café Olimpico is definitely worth a visit.

Je souhaite vous faire part de mon profond mécontentement concernant mon expérience dans votre café. Aucun professionnalisme n'a été démontré lors de ma visite. Les serveurs manquent clairement de respect & remettent les boissons de manière brusque, presque en les lançant, ce qui est totalement inacceptable. L'accueil n'a rien de chaleureux, & l'on ressent davantage une attente insistante de pourboires plutôt qu'un véritable service.

De plus, la qualité du café s'est nettement dégradée. Il a constamment un goût de brûlé, alors qu'auparavant il était réellement bon. C'est extrêmement décevant pour des clients fidèles comme nous.

L'hygiène laisse également à désirer : les toilettes sont toujours sales, tout comme les tables. Cela donne une impression de négligence générale.

En résumé, la qualité du service, des produits & de l'environnement n'est plus du tout à la hauteur. C'est regrettable de constater une telle dégradation.

Café Olimpico is an absolute gem. The staff are incredibly warm & welcoming, creating an atmosphere that feels both familiar & full of character. The coffee is the real star here-authentic Italian quality, rich & perfectly balanced, just the way it should be. Whether you're grabbing an espresso at the bar or settling in with a cappuccino, every cup feels like a little trip to Italy. Highly recommend! ☕🇮🇹
