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.

I visited this well known Italian cafe for a morning coffee. I have to mention how elegant & timeless the decor is, its the perfect spot to grab a hot drink & sit for a moment with a friend or a date. I had a latte to go. It was absolutely the best latte I ever had in Montreal. It was silky smooth, very rich & creamy. Id recommend it to any coffee fan.

I loved the esthetic of the café & the vibes during a football match. They have a variety of desserts & would go great with whichever coffee you choose to get. I've tried their freddo latte, it was great. I'm planning on going back to try other coffee options on their menu.

Cappuccino exquis. Arrivée tôt grande file. Le service est tout de même rapide. L'attente vaut la peine.

The espresso was ok but i had to stand in line for 9 or 10 minutes longer than i would have liked. The barista was enjoying an extremely long conversation with the customer in front of me & when it was over pretended like i was not even there.

How about a nice Affogatto in the most iconic cafe in the city. Olympico is one of the most old & mystic coffee places in Montreal. Situated in the Mile End one of the best family friendly corner of Montreal. I would recommend during winter or summer eather for a hot choclate a simple cappucino or an affogatto.
