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.

The coffee & cannoli at Cafe Olimpico - Mile End were good.

The Americano coffee was good with some acidity.

The Cortado was mostly smooth & strong coffee with a bit of acidity.

The Cannoli was a good crispy pastry with a not too sweet, creamy vanilla filling :)

Cafe Olimpico never fails to impress, but there's something special about stepping into one of Montreal's iconic spots after a long Monday. The warm welcome from Phil & Julien always makes it feel like home. On top of that, the service is fast & efficient, & the end result is always a delicious treat!

Came from New York to spend a week in Montreal. It was a forty minute walk from where I was staying, & I came here four times. Very relaxed. Lots of locals. Great outdoor area for relaxing in the sun or people watching. Coffee was really good, & the staff has that familiar vibe with just about everyone. It's like they're your cousins, but you're not sure how or from what side of the family. Will always come back when I visit Montreal. Helps that St. Viatuer bagel is right around the corner.

The tiramisu here is fantastic. It wasn't too sweet & had the right amount of coffee flavor. The coffee was really good too.

Cozy little Italian café with an authentic ambiance! The staff is super friendly, the coffee is excellent, & the tiramisu is delicious.
They also sell good handmade pistachio chocolate bars.
Just a heads-up-parking is limited if you're driving. Love this place!

Italian coffee which is similar to what I had in Australia - unlike other coffee I had in North America, I was so happy seeing the right amount of coco powder on top of my cappuccino. & the tiramisu is not too sweet!

Most importantly, baristas are hot!!!
