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.

J'ai aimé le beignet pistache & le café au lait. Extérieur agréable avec des bancs en bois.

Great coffee & biscotti & ice cream. Friendly & helpful staff. Glad this coffee shop was recommended to us. An added bonus - near St. Vieteur Bagel Shop.

I have been charmed by this little cafe since autumn 2014, so I will be biased when I say that Olimpico is a very special part of the city. If you enjoy caffeine & the pleasantly unexpected, this is the spot for you. I'm so glad to see The Remix still on the menu by the way, I'd be devastated if it was no longer there.
