Niché en plein coeur de l'effervescent quartier du Mile-End, le Café Olimpico est très certainement l'un des secrets les mieux gardés de Montréal. Comme Montréal est une ville multiculturelle incroyable, ce café aux saveurs européennes y trouve grandement sa place. Fondé en 1970 par M. Rocco Furfaro, ce café dégageant une énergie et un charme incomparable a très certainement traversé les épreuves du temps et a su rassembler une grande variété de gens qui partage le même amour pour le bon café. En passant par l'homme d'affaires qui s'arrête pour son espresso quotidien le matin ou bien par l'étudiant qui y sirote un cappuccino l'après-midi, le Café Olimpico a fait ses preuves auprès de tous pour être un établissement où l'on y rencontre de bonnes et agréables personnes.
Les avis convergent sur Café Olimpico comme une institution montréalaise offrant un café italien authentique, des desserts italiens et une ambiance conviviale et animée qui reflète le quartier, avec un espresso riche et équilibré et des pâtisseries comme tiramisu, cannoli et bomboloni souvent cités comme des incontournables. Le service est globalement rapide et chaleureux, et l'accueil contribue à une atmosphère de communauté où l'on se sent chez soi, même lors des heures d'affluence ou devant une file d'attente. La terrasse et l'ambiance, selon les emplacements, ajoutent au charme et font de ce lieu un endroit populaire pour se retrouver entre amis ou boire un café en regardant les matchs. Certaines critiques mentionnent le manque d'espace pour s asseoir et des toilettes moins impeccables, mais l'essence reste centrée sur le café de qualité, les desserts et le sentiment d'une expérience montréalaise authentique et accessible.
Great vibe! Very urban cafe. The espresso is excellent albeit the cup size is quite small. We ordered mocha & cappuccino, both were very good but you finish the drinks fairly quickly. The heavenly taste cookie was excellent too
i had the remix coffee & it was definitely worth the hype. i didn't expect it to be as good as everyone was saying but it for sure exceeded my expectations. i had it in the bottled option cause im a bit late to the trend cause im having it in the winter & they mentioned that the clear cups weren't available rn. but i think it made my pictures look better tbh. but yeah it was a perfect mix of creamy sweet & bitter & if i had this cafe near me id come here almost everyday but i think its a good thing its not so i get to save money.😅🤣i will say its a bit overpriced i think i paid about 10 ish dollars? maybe 11 if i round it up. its not exactly worth it for the price but its definitely worth trying if you haven't. if you can afford it than i wouldn't recommend getting anything else if you like drinking your coffee cold. it's different from the regular iced coffee & most blended drinks are usually wayyyyyyyy too sweet but this one is just right. i was planning on sitting in the shop a bit but there werent any spots. it was too crowded & there was a funky vibe but the barista who took my order was pretty nice & fast too so i didn't have to wait too long in there thankfully.
This is the cutest cafe & the vibes are absolutely perfect. We went during the Winter Olympics while Canada's women's hockey team was playing which was really cool. The staff is really friendly & enthusiastic & they made the best mocha I've ever had. Definitely worth a visit.
We ordered tiramisus & had a couple of mochas. They were pretty decent, though I wish the mochas were a bit more chocolatey. I had to remove some stars because I wanted some chocolate croissant, but there were bugs in their pastry shelf & the tiramisus were watery ☹?
