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.

March 8, 2023 - Great little spot for a coffee, it does get quite busy so be prepared to wait if you want a seat. They didn't have many plugs available & my phone was running low on battery, they were nice enough to help me charge it behind the counter. Great service.

Un des deux meilleurs café en ville. Ce café est bondé en tout temps. L'été ça va car on peut prendre le café dehors, mais l'hiver il arrive que toutes les places soient prises. On y retourne, très souvent!
