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.
Dans l'ensemble, les avis sur Café Olimpico saluent le café, riche et équilibré, et les pâtisseries comme le tiramisu et le cannoli. L'ambiance est décrite comme animée, chaleureuse et résolument italienne, avec un intérieur cosy et une terrasse prisée par beau temps. La fréquentation est élevée et les places limitées, ce qui entraîne souvent des files d'attente, mais le personnel est perçu comme sympathique et efficace. Certains estiment que les tarifs sont un peu élevés, mais l'expérience est jugée valable et Café Olimpico est considéré comme une institution montréalaise. Dans l'ensemble, ce lieu est un passage obligé pour les amateurs de café, avec un café de grande qualité et une énergie communautaire.
Café Olimpico remains one of the best cafes in Montreal. Their coffee is really good. If you are a first timer you should try out the cannolis if they are available. This particular location in my opinion serves the best coffee, but it's always busy. The place has a vibe of its own.
Cute café with really nice guests & baristas! Pros: • Everyone is bilingual & super friendly • Really talented baristas! • Plenty of options for pastries • Very wholesome atmosphere with lots of seating, especially with the open windows! • Very easy to make new friends here if you're new in town Cons: • Occasionally gets really crowded (even though the space is quite large, they're just popular) • Music is a little loud to talk over • Pretty fast-paced (probably because everyone is drinking caffeine) Overall, super cute place! The barista suggested I get a cafe mocha with oat milk, which was fantastic! Probably will become a regular here :)
I love this neighborhood, if you go on a Saturday afternoon there is so many things to look around. Cafe Olimpico will always be busy but that's part of the experience. I always get their latte fredo with oat milk & it never disappoints. I got a bomboloni & it was also so good!

Le Café Olimpico est une excellente adresse pour les amateurs de bon café. La qualité du café est vraiment au rendez-vous, chaque tasse est un délice. L'ambiance à l'italienne est charmante & authentique, ce qui ajoute un plus à l'expérience. Cependant, il faut noter que l'endroit est souvent très fréquenté, ce qui peut parfois rendre l'attente un peu longue. Malgré cela, l'ambiance conviviale & la qualité du café valent largement le détour. Un incontournable pour les passionnés de café & de culture italienne !
Family run cafe in mile end for many years. Olympico is a neighborhood institution. A late night cafe with lots of character. There are not many cafes left with this type of charm! Excellent ☕️ as well!!
I had been familiar with Cafe Olimpico from other locations but I gotta say after a single visit to the Mile End location, it's certainly a step up. The service was both efficient & friendly despite it being quite crowded. The menu had plenty of variety from beverages to desserts & although I went only for a coffee, the desserts did look delicious. If you haven't tried a cafe crema before, that would easily be my first recommendation. The ambiance was great as well. There was plenty of space for seating (again, considering how crowded it was). There were also a few sporting matches across some multiple large screens & an even bigger projector. It was a pretty admirable viewing experience even though I didn't go specifically for those matches. I don't frequent the Mile End area due to the parking situation, however I would certainly visit Cafe Olimpico on any occasion I do end up in the area.

I see why everyone's recommending this coffee shop & saying it's the best coffee in Montreal. I agree now! Their coffee has depth in taste & aroma. I hate sour tastes but olimpico's was so amazing. I enjoyed so much. Also the staff there was super friendly & helpful. I ended up ordering two cups of coffee- caffe mocha & cafe remix. Bought tiramisu & pistachio chocolate as well because the staff recommended 😂 Havent tried the tiramisu & chocolate yet but i can assure they are also all good since their coffee was excellent 💖 I would def come back again. The other two location was PACKED with ppl with endless long line ups. & the stores were so tiny & small. Especially the one near Mcgill univ one was just unbelievably small i didnt want to go inside. The seats were empty but it looked impossible to sit there & enjoy/relax. Go to the mid town one! The place is big & no line ups👍🏼
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.
