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.

Un cappucino comme en Italie, d'excellentes douceurs pour accompagner les boissons chaudes & une ambiance géniale pour regarder les matchs de foot. Je vous le recommande absolument !!!

I see why everyone's recommending this coffee shop & saying it's the best coffee in Montreal. I agree now! Their coffee has depth in taste & aroma. I hate sour tastes but olimpico's was so amazing. I enjoyed so much. Also the staff there was super friendly & helpful. I ended up ordering two cups of coffee- caffe mocha & cafe remix. Bought tiramisu & pistachio chocolate as well because the staff recommended 😂 Havent tried the tiramisu & chocolate yet but i can assure they are also all good since their coffee was excellent 💖 I would def come back again. The other two location was PACKED with ppl with endless long line ups. & the stores were so tiny & small. Especially the one near Mcgill univ one was just unbelievably small i didnt want to go inside. The seats were empty but it looked impossible to sit there & enjoy/relax. Go to the mid town one! The place is big & no line ups👍🏼

We went to Quebec on vacation recently (from the US) & absolutely loved the way it felt like we were on a different continent. This place really exemplified that vibe - it felt very European! They only serve espresso, no American-style drip coffee. Delicious espressos & Americanos & best atmosphere of any coffee shop we visited in Quebec!

Un peu déçu vu la réputation du lieu. Je venais avec un peu plus d'attente que d'avoir un café Freddo qui soit de la Sloche...

Tried last year, & it was one of the best coffee shops I had, but yesterday & today, I had a coffee served without any attention, a mediocre customer service. If they have new staff they need to train them & if it's old staff they need to care more.
