Absolute must Montreal experience for tourist or locals. Grab a Cortado in one of the essential mtl cafes followed by a bagel at st-viateur & ur basically a Montreale

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!!!

Best coffee in town & always a great service.

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.
