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.
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.

Cute, vibey coffee shop with a super friendly staff & the perfect ambiance for reading, writing, or enjoying a relaxed afternoon. I ducked into Cafe Olimpico to hide from the rain, & it was such a pleasant surprise of a spot; the barista was super friendly & clearly knew all of the locals / regulars. The line moves pretty slowly, so I wouldn't necessarily recommend this spot if you're in a rush, but it's a great spot if you're okay with a more relaxed pace & want to spend a few minutes chatting with the barista.
The cafe tends to be rather crowded, but if you manage to snag a spot at a table, it's a super cozy spot to hang out. I love the stone walls & dark wooden furniture, which gives the whole shop a very homey vibe. I ended up staying there for well over two hours (even though the rain had long since passed), & it was delightful.
The coffee is solid, but not the highlight of this cafe. I also love that they're open late, so it's a great spot for evening / night hang-outs.
Visited the spot multiple times during my trip to Montreal. My girlfriend & I loved their beverages, especially the Remix. The tiramisu was solid as well, I'd fight someone to defend it's integrity. Finding seats indoors is a little tricky but they have nice benches/seats right outside their shop. Staff are super friendly & always smiling, loved the energy. The place is popping, busy, but justifiably so. They're slinging out stellar offerings left & right. Don't goof up & skip this gem of a spot. Hope they consider Toronto as a second home & open up shop.

Great coffee & biscotti & ice cream. Friendly & helpful staff. Glad this coffee shop was recommended to us. An added bonus - near St. Vieteur Bagel Shop.
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.
An Italian atmospheric coffee shop. There are always a lot of people & you will have to stand in line for 10-20 minutes. There is a terrace outside. Very tasty desserts & good coffee, but I definitely wouldn't go there for him.
My family & I have come to Canada from Melbourne & we are pleasantly surprised, the flat white was amazing with a sweet aftertaste that showed how skilled the barista was, the hot chocolate was also amazing, not to sweet or sour, I had a shot of coffee in mine & it was the best drink I've had here. Hats off to the man who was by himself running the shop. All the food was amazing & we will definitely come back during our stay.

This coffee shop was so lovely & beautifully decorated with bougainvillea flowers draped on the outside wall. Service was quick & the cafe latte I ordered tasted so good! It was one of the best lattes I have had! I do wish they had some tables to sit at outside.
Went twice on my trip to Montreal. Famous, bustling coffee shop with quite a bit of long standing history in the community. Enjoyed both the Caffe Freddo & the Remix. Would recommend as one of my favorite of those I tried in Montreal.
Your staff always does an amazing job, with the long lines/rushes. They are efficient & very respectful. Your staff really represents the real values & service of what a true Italian coffee shop is, along with the place itself. The coffee is amazing & the desserts too. If you haven’t tried this place run don’t walk, you will absolutely not regret it. When a client spends money, he should receive a minimum, & over here they just go above that. Shoutout to you guys for real. As an Italian, this is my #1 spot in the city.
