Café Olimpico stands out for its authentic Italian vibe, lively atmosphere, and consistently strong coffee across locations. Reviewers praise friendly staff and attentive service that help make each visit feel welcoming. Pastries, tiramisu, and Italian sandwiches are frequently highlighted as highlights, with some notes that croissants can be disappointing and that pastry freshness can vary. The Westmount location is described as cozy and vibrant, with a pleasant terrace in warmer months. Crowds and peak hours can make seating tricky, and there are occasional comments about price for small drinks. Many fans love the mortadella sandwich and the Remix coffee, along with the rich espresso and pistachio treats, while a few say the coffee is great but value varies. The atmosphere is repeatedly described as a reason to return, a place to hang out with friends or study, and the staff’s warmth a recurring positive theme. Overall, Café Olimpico is seen as a Montreal staple that blends strong coffee with a welcoming community feel, though travelers should be prepared for busy moments and menu variability.
Best coffee in town hands down … everyone knows this, duhh
But the westmount location is my absolute favourite for a few reasons
1. Beautiful neighborhood & beautiful people
2. Walking distance to lots of great shopping & metro
3. Antonino works here all week (pictured below) & he's dreamy
Also the cannolis are fantastico
Also did I mention the coffee is the best? ☕?

Probably their calmest location, perfect for an afternoon pick me up. I highly suggest the remix (although a little bit on the pricier side) & the amarettos. Their coffee has never let me down! So good, & an uncontested city favourite.
What wonderful service! Sean served my dear friend & I & from the get-go, he was so kind & had the warmest hospitality! He went above & beyond with our order & catering to our needs (making sure we were comfortable, had somewhere to sit, asking if we needed anything, friendly…). Thank you so much, you made our night 😊
Went there to grab a latte. Nice & attentive service even if there was some people in the line (as usual in Olimpico, but way less than the ones in the city center)

Tout ferme tellement tôt à Montréal ! On devrait accorder un crédit d'impôt pour des endroits comme Olympico qui offrent une alternative à toutes celles & ceux qui n'ont pas nécessairement envie de passer leur fin de soirée devant leur télé mais plutôt l'envie de voir du monde. Latté imbattable. Service essentiel.
Toutes étaient impeccable, le services était très amicale, je me suis senti en Italie & la nourriture était délicieuse. J'ai peut être été à une heure trop occupé j'ai attendu 10 minutes pour ma commande. Mais j'ai adoré le design intérieur un beau coin pour une rencontre avec un ami
Nico makes a damn good coffee. Atmosphere & personal are super duper. Happy to have several Olimpico locations around town - very Montreal & the expansion didn't hurt the vibe at all.
