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.

Café Olimpico is a lively Italian bakery & coffee spot that was packed when I arrived, with a mostly younger crowd. We stopped in for a quick coffee & a couple of cannolis, an original & chocolate (or hazelnut). The service was friendly & efficient, but the coffee & cannoli were just okay. They didn't quite live up to the hype for me, though the atmosphere was fun & lively & the people were friendly. We spent about 30 minutes interacting with other people & it was a pleasant way to spend an afternoon!
