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.

We've been here a few times & what brings us back every time besides the great coffee & food is vibes. Definitely a place to be if you want to experience or give someone an experience of Montreal nightlife. The last time we went, we ordered a Cortado with non-dairy milk & a regular Americano along with a Tiramisu & Canoli. Cortado, Americano & Tiramisu were great. Not a fan of Canoli. The atmosphere is great. Although that means finding a table can be challenging. Staff is great & friendly. Street parking outside which might be difficult to find close by. Definitely recommended!!

Open early, serving incredible European style coffee with friendly service in a beautifully walkable neighbourhood. Why wouldn't you go? Rota was our barista & he made me one of the best cortados I've ever had. Nice friendly guy as well.
