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.

One of the best cafes in Montreal hands down. It deserves all the hype it has!
Must try are Tiramisu & affogato!

We came twice in one day - once at 10 AM & again at 3 PM. & there was always a queue. It's definitely a popular spot!

My Favorite:
- Cappuccino: The foam on top pairs well with the coffee. This was my favorite coffee of my entire Montreal trip!

Nice to Try:
- Tiramisu: They soak it with maple syrup. Personally, I thought it was an interesting local twist, but it was a bit too sweet for my taste. I still prefer the traditional version.
- Affogato: We paired it with pistachio gelato. It was also a little too sweet for me, but it was wonderfully rich & creamy!

Overall, it's a great place to just come, relax, & enjoy the city with a really good coffee.

The coffee here is soooo good! Especially the Cafe Soft Serve. Highly recommend trying the remix (the soft serve, with a shot of espresso, & some milk)

The pastries here are ok, not the best. My friend got the cannoli & enjoyed it. However the cakes could be skipped.

Quel endroit incroyable. L'ambiance est toujours aussi vivante & chaleureuse, peu importe l'heure de la journée.

J'ai particulièrement apprécié mon café accompagné d'une pâtisserie fraîchement servie sur leur papier marqué du logo. C'est le lieu parfait pour prendre une pause & s'imprégner de l'énergie du quartier. Une expérience authentique à chaque visite.

Unbelievable service from the servers. I live in Old Port so I rarely come to this location, but this made sure I won't be back. Because I asked them to change my coffee, the guy working the coffee station looked like he wanted to throw it at my head. Paid $12 for two coffees that were a disgrace.. didn't even have the color of proper coffee. I won't bring anyone here again, not to Old Port, not to this place, & I won't be coming back myself. Such a shame
