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.
Olimpico provides a cozy retreat with its rustic décor & welcoming atmosphere. The rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee greets you, complemented by a variety of delicious pastries. The baristas are skilled & friendly, ensuring each cup is crafted with precision. Free Wi-Fi & ample seating indoor & outdoor make it perfect for both relaxation. The prices are adequate, the quality & experience are well balanced. A strong choice for coffee enthusiasts & casual sippers alike are welcomed there.
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👍🏼
We went to Quebec on vacation recently (from the US) & absolutely loved the way it felt like we were on a different continent. This place really exemplified that vibe - it felt very European! They only serve espresso, no American-style drip coffee. Delicious espressos & Americanos & best atmosphere of any coffee shop we visited in Quebec!
Tried last year, & it was one of the best coffee shops I had, but yesterday & today, I had a coffee served without any attention, a mediocre customer service. If they have new staff they need to train them & if it's old staff they need to care more.

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.
How about a nice Affogatto in the most iconic cafe in the city. Olympico is one of the most old & mystic coffee places in Montreal. Situated in the Mile End one of the best family friendly corner of Montreal. I would recommend during winter or summer eather for a hot choclate a simple cappucino or an affogatto.
