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.

Review Summary

Across reviews, Café Olimpico is consistently praised for outstanding coffee with authentic Italian character, including rich espressos, smooth cortados, and flavorful lattes, often paired with beloved pastries like tiramisu and cannoli. The atmosphere is described as warm, cozy, and lively, with real Italian café vibes, old school decor, sports on TVs, and a buzzing terrace in nice weather. Staff are repeatedly noted as friendly, efficient, and welcoming, helping it feel like a neighborhood hub even during busy periods, though lines and seating can be limited. The spots are seen as Montreal institutions open early and late, with multiple locations maintaining the same charm and quality, and the overall experience is described as a go to for coffee purists craving a true Italian cafe vibe. Desserts and pastries, especially cannoli and pistachio items, are highlighted as must tries, and the quality of the coffee is often described as epic and consistently well balanced. Some reviews mention occasional bathroom or outdoor cleanliness issues during peak times, but these do not overshadow the strong coffee, vibrant energy, and community feel that define Café Olimpico. Overall, Café Olimpico is viewed as a top destination in Montreal for great coffee, tasty sweets, and a lively, sociable atmosphere.

Le Café Olimpico est une excellente adresse pour les amateurs de bon café. La qualité du café est vraiment au rendez-vous, chaque tasse est un délice. L'ambiance à l'italienne est charmante & authentique, ce qui ajoute un plus à l'expérience. Cependant, il faut noter que l'endroit est souvent très fréquenté, ce qui peut parfois rendre l'attente un peu longue. Malgré cela, l'ambiance conviviale & la qualité du café valent largement le détour. Un incontournable pour les passionnés de café & de culture italienne !

Family run cafe in mile end for many years. Olympico is a neighborhood institution. A late night cafe with lots of character. There are not many cafes left with this type of charm! Excellent ☕️ as well!!

I had been familiar with Cafe Olimpico from other locations but I gotta say after a single visit to the Mile End location, it's certainly a step up. The service was both efficient & friendly despite it being quite crowded. The menu had plenty of variety from beverages to desserts & although I went only for a coffee, the desserts did look delicious. If you haven't tried a cafe crema before, that would easily be my first recommendation. The ambiance was great as well. There was plenty of space for seating (again, considering how crowded it was). There were also a few sporting matches across some multiple large screens & an even bigger projector. It was a pretty admirable viewing experience even though I didn't go specifically for those matches. I don't frequent the Mile End area due to the parking situation, however I would certainly visit Cafe Olimpico on any occasion I do end up in the area.

Un cappucino comme en Italie, d'excellentes douceurs pour accompagner les boissons chaudes & une ambiance géniale pour regarder les matchs de foot. Je vous le recommande absolument !!!
