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.

March 8, 2023 - Great little spot for a coffee, it does get quite busy so be prepared to wait if you want a seat. They didn't have many plugs available & my phone was running low on battery, they were nice enough to help me charge it behind the counter. Great service.

The waiter David is simply amazing. Always smiling, makes the ambiance even better than it already is. Music is just perfect, he is nice with everyone & works fast as much as he works well. Best barista, hos coffee is also perfect. Best latte in montreal.

He makes me want to go there everyday.
Cheers to cafe olimpico & especially to David.

Un des deux meilleurs café en ville. Ce café est bondé en tout temps. L'été ça va car on peut prendre le café dehors, mais l'hiver il arrive que toutes les places soient prises. On y retourne, très souvent!

We drive from Laval four nights a week to enjoy the lattes & sweets prepared by the most pleasant baristas in Montreal! Just love the whole trip! Atmosphere, people, screens to watch your favourite sports. Voila!
