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.
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.

Cafe Olimpico -Mile End
WOW 5 stars, chefs kiss.
I've visited the Olimpico in Westmount many times & am very familiar with the hospitality of the staff there (outstanding) & this being the second location I've visited- Olimpico as a chain is warm, professional, & friendly across the board!!
Specifically Alex & Claudio- even on an astoundingly busy Sunday rush, their attentiveness & attention to detail is revelling. Not bogged down by the rush & unwavering'pep' in their step.
Other cafes pale in comparison, although busy their demeanor could put an ornery businessman at ease!
A bustling atmosphere & smiles coming in & out of this place. They greet you like family- in a true Italian style with added expertise & poise.
AMAZING coffee & treats that make it hard for me not to buy all of their pastries lol.
Places like this radiate the essence of community & are the heart of Montreal in my opinion.
Just wish I lived closer!!
We ordered a cortado & cappuccino, both of which were nicely prepared. The coffee itself is a safe bean, not having a strong flavour profile (i.e. minimal chcolate, no flaural notes).
The place is popular to the point of bursting & unfortunately how far from downtown it is made it not worth the trek. Seating is at a serious premium & other patrons were rather rude about the whole thing, with people scooping up tables or holding them for who knows what reason or arguing over who was waiting for what.

Café Olimpico in the Mile End is a legendary institution for a reason. Their old-school espresso is consistently perfect-strong, smooth, & authentic. The atmosphere captures that classic Italian café vibe perfectly, making it the best spot to grab a coffee & soak in the local energy. In the summer, their outdoor terrace is the place to be, offering a great space to relax & enjoy the neighborhood. It is a must-visit for any coffee purist.
This is hands down my favorite coffee shop. The coffee is consistently excellent-rich, smooth, & made with care. You can really tell they take pride in what they serve.
The atmosphere is cozy & welcoming, whether you're stopping by for a quick coffee or sitting down to relax. The staff are always friendly, attentive, & make you feel right at home.
It's one of those places you keep coming back to-not just for the coffee, but for the overall vibe. Highly recommended to anyone who appreciates great coffee & great service.
I tried their pistachio cream bomboloni, & honestly, it was incredible. The pistachio filling was unbelievably creamy with just the right amount of sweetness - not too heavy, not too sugary. The doughnut itself was soft, fluffy, & super fresh, which made every bite perfect.
I had a doppio too. The coffee was smooth, rich, & bold, exactly what you'd expect from a café with such a strong reputation.
The whole experience felt authentic & comforting. If you're in Montreal & love good pastries & great coffee, Café Olimpico is definitely worth a visit.
Café Olimpico is an absolute gem. The staff are incredibly warm & welcoming, creating an atmosphere that feels both familiar & full of character. The coffee is the real star here-authentic Italian quality, rich & perfectly balanced, just the way it should be. Whether you're grabbing an espresso at the bar or settling in with a cappuccino, every cup feels like a little trip to Italy. Highly recommend! ☕🇮🇹
