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.
I honestly only have good things to say about this place! There was a bit of a line but it moved quickly! The service was so friendly & everyone was working together & in a good mood! Their tiramisu was one of the best I've had & their coffee crema was insane! Definitely come try this place out 🙌🏻
i used to go to other italian coffee places but this one is gonna be my favorite one for now. the service is so good, their espresso so yummy & the staff, they do a great job. its kinda packed sometimes, depending the day or the time you go there but, it's worth the visit for a single espresso or some tiramisu. the ambience is so nice, as they play old school songs. you feel like back in the 80s, some italian 80s vibes lol.
Such a hidden gem in this bustling city! Welcoming & friendly staff immediately made me feel at home sending my struggles with speaking French, without hesitation they started talking to me in English & even shared some laughs with me when I requested oak milk for my dietary requirements! It felt proper to tip them well when I was there... such a great spot, & the croissants are most excellent addition to my coffee! Thanks guys!
I am biased when it comes to Olympico cafe simply because its a special place. An Italian place with one of the best coffee's in the city, their Lemon cake & croissant pastry are a must try too! There are a lot of seatings but its known to be crowded. Ive been to all Olympico cafe in montreal & they all share the same lovely service I recommend it a lot
The coffees are delicious with high quality ingredients. The staff were helpful & provided great advice. It has a unique & lovely atmosphere that reminds me of a coffee equivalent of a 1600s Belgian cafe. It's homey & makes you feel comfortable.
The cannoli was bite size compared to the images provided on the google account. Vibes were immaculate. The queue to get coffee was long, but the service was extremely quick! The workers knew what they were doing.
Just stopped by & grabbed a late night late. I don't know what the man did, but it's amazing. I've been here before & the coffee was always good but this is next level. Thanks early twenties black haired dude, you're that guy.
We've been here a few times & what brings us back every time besides the great coffee & food is vibes. Definitely a place to be if you want to experience or give someone an experience of Montreal nightlife. The last time we went, we ordered a Cortado with non-dairy milk & a regular Americano along with a Tiramisu & Canoli. Cortado, Americano & Tiramisu were great. Not a fan of Canoli. The atmosphere is great. Although that means finding a table can be challenging. Staff is great & friendly. Street parking outside which might be difficult to find close by. Definitely recommended!!
Open early, serving incredible European style coffee with friendly service in a beautifully walkable neighbourhood. Why wouldn't you go? Rota was our barista & he made me one of the best cortados I've ever had. Nice friendly guy as well.
