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.

Best coffee in town & always a great service.

Ps toilets are not at the image of the café. They need love & more daily attention.

While they only had oat milk for alternative milk, the coffee tastes as if you're transported back to a coffee shop in Italy. My new favourite spot!

Le meilleur café italien de Mtl pour moi , excellentes patisseries italiennes aussi, iced coffee & tutte quante affogato tiramisù canoli, le croissant au Nutella ou aux pistaches débordé de crème & c est généreux & succulent . Bravo keep going .. Nous avons essayé toutes les succursales &. C'est aussi bien partout mais celui du mile end reste mon coup de coeu

One of the best coffees in Montreal. Expect a line-up during the busy hours (depending the season) almost every day; early in the morning (rush hour), around noon & all the evening.
The only point to improve for them is maybe to clean the washrooms regularly , considering the high traffic!

Café Olimpico is hands down my favorite coffee spot! I recently had their cannoli & latte, & both were absolutely delicious. Their pistachio croissant is also a must-try-it's consistently amazing, though if you're visiting their Centre-Ville location, it may not be available before 10 AM so it's something to plan for if you're craving one early in the day. It might be different now, but that was my experience in the past. (I'm not sure if this applies to all locations, but it's something to keep in mind.)

The staff is fast, friendly, & always makes the experience enjoyable. The cleanliness of the place is excellent, which adds to the overall appeal. The only minor challenge is finding a spot to sit during busy times, but it's worth it for the quality of the food & coffee.

Whether you're stopping by for a coffee, a croissant, or a sweet treat like their cannoli, Café Olimpico never disappoints.

Hands down my favorite part of my Montreal trip. The atmosphere remembered me of a typical bar in Italy. The coffe was perfect. In both the occasion. The cannoli were a hit. There must be a reason they stand since 1970. Well done!

Finally tried the original olimpico. It's open late at night & the coffee is delicious! It's also way bigger than the other locations but as busy if not more. Highly recommend!

Je reviens toujours à Montréal pour le congé de Noël &, cette fois-ci, un ami à moi m'avait demandé d'aller lui acheter une paquetée de café Olimpico (il a été très impressionné par l'ambiance du lieu & par leur café), & le voilà, que j'ai tenu ma promesse.
