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.

Espresso was mediocre, affocato was not what I expected, a plastic cup with a cannoli, I told him I was staying in to enjoy it. Gelato was not as creamy as I expected. I will go back maybe it was a bad day...

Les pâtisseries sont très bonnes mais le lieu n'est pas très accueillant. Il y a énormément de bruit & peu d'endroit agréables pour s'installer à l'intérieur. Les toilettes étaient également dans un état pitoyable.

Cute café with really nice guests & baristas! Pros: • Everyone is bilingual & super friendly • Really talented baristas! • Plenty of options for pastries • Very wholesome atmosphere with lots of seating, especially with the open windows! • Very easy to make new friends here if you're new in town Cons: • Occasionally gets really crowded (even though the space is quite large, they're just popular) • Music is a little loud to talk over • Pretty fast-paced (probably because everyone is drinking caffeine) Overall, super cute place! The barista suggested I get a cafe mocha with oat milk, which was fantastic! Probably will become a regular here :)
