I visited MTL in January and honestly I was a little skeptical. One thing to note for any American tourists (lol) they don't do any flavored lattes. I went for an oatmilk mocha. Honestly, it was really good! Again, usually a lot of places are over-hyped but this place is legit! read more

Food was okay overall and presentation looked nice. The flavors just didn't stand out as much as I expected. Service was polite but a bit slow during peak time. Not a bad experience, just average. read more

Café Olimpico landed on my radar via my brother. When he visited Montreal a few years back, he visited here and had good things to say. During my own research, I also learned this was a popular spot known for their high quality Italian pastries. Since we were in Mile End and looking for some coffee and carbs, we thought it would be a good place to check out, so off we went. The café sits on a corner among several other commercial businesses; the entrance catches the eye with a hunter green awning that dons the Olympic torch and rings, as well as some outdoor seating. The inside very much gives off Italian café vibes - it's a medium-sized open area with tables scattered throughout. The production counter sits to the left where orders are placed, and televisions with different sports are projected across the perimeter. In addition to this location in Mile End, they have three other locations. We definitely wanted to get some coffee, but I didn't want to leave without browsing their bakes so I was scanning what they had. They have a good variety of coffee beverages, as well as several pastries. I ultimately decided to get a cappuccino, and we split three bakes: a pistachio cornetto, a ricotta bomboloni, and an amaretto cookie. The bakes were good. The cornetto was filled with pistachio cream which is kinda played out due to the Dubai chocolate craze - but the cornetto was nice and airy with a good filling ratio. The bombolini was also good as was the cookie - really high-quality bakes all around. Service was good, and overall I really enjoyed my experience at Café Olimpico. The coffee and pastries were good, and the vibes are on. I wouldn't hesitate to return the next time I'm in Montreal. read more

The vibes in here are actually immaculate. I love the Olympic memorabilia and it's so cozy. The line was out the door but moved surprisingly fast, which was a plus. However... the drinks were a major "expectation vs reality" moment. My iced mocha literally looked like it came out of a slushy machine and the hot latte looked so sad and flat. It tasted okay, but for the price and the hype, I expected the presentation to be way better. read more

Yes, as you can see in other reviews, it's a landmark place to visit! My husband and I first learned about this place through one of the Youtube videos we watched on where to go in Montreal. Maybe because like NYC Montreal is very pedestrian-oriented, cafe culture here is very strong too? Although it was much tinier than I expected, it is very cozy and abuzz with customers because of its coffee and pastries. DO try the one labeled "heavenly" - There is a reason for the name! And yes, it's right there on the corner of a bustling night life area of the Old City and open late. (My hubby and I are ok with coffee/caffeine at night and have no problem falling asleep, LOL! Maybe coffee is just a soothing beverage to us, who knows?) Just thinking of this right now is putting me in a happy place... :D! read more

We loved this location. Convenient, right by the bagel shops. I got a delicious oat milk Cortado, and my husband got a cappuccino and a canoli. Definitely a good option in the neighborhood. They have a few other locations as well, but I liked this one. We've seen quite a longome at times, but weekdays it is better and we always wee able to find a seat. I believe street parking is paid, but you might be able to find some for free a couple of blocks away. read more

This place was the best coffee we had during our trip to Montreal. We read it was a must try so we had to come see for ourselves and it didn't disappoint. The line is long but it goes by fast. There's a good amount of seating indoors and a clean bathroom as well. We ordered their most popular drink the Remix and it's small but sooooo good. It's not super sweet but it is still sweet. It just had such good flavor and the staff was so friendly. They played great music in there too. Definitely a vibe read more

Café Olimpico - The remix - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Good lattes in the middle of mile end. Olympic memorabilia and a cozy interior. A steady flow of people with a line from the door but service is fast and the line keeps moving. They had cookies and pastries like tiramisu and bombolones. I came here after seeing great reviews and pretty AND great drinks. That's what usually pulls you in. My iced mocha latte was good but it looks like it came from the slush dispensary (looking like a slushy machine) and oat milk was just added. Our hot latte was not served overflowing with milk foam and just looked a bit sad compared to the photos here on Yelp. But-- the drinks were good, espresso to milk ratio was good, and the place was cozy. read more

I met a friend here while visiting Montreal, at my friend's suggestion. This place has a lot of history, and some excellent coffee and pastries. I had a wonderful latte, served in a glass with no handle - very old school and hipster at the same time. And, it was delicious - easily one of the best coffees I had while in the city. The place has an artsy vibe, through filled mostly with younger people, but I really enjoyed it there. read more

There was a bit of a line when we got here but the service was so fast that it moved quickly. The servers were super friendly and I could not be happier with my little coffee soft serve! It was so tasty with just the right amount of coffee flavor. Part of me wishes I got the larger size because it was so good but the small size was really was the right amount to enjoy it. read more

Coffee and espresso addiction satisfied. Stopped by this cafe (multiple locations I ended up going to 2), both consistently great. Coffee was perfect. I tried the Americano, double espresso, cortado, and affogato. All amazing. I wish I could have another affogato. Brought a bag of espresso beans home read more

Cool little coffee shop in the lobby of our hotel. Apparently lots of people gravitate here when hitting the Old Port. Honestly, it's worth the trip. The espresso they crank out is superb, as are the pastries. The Heavenly something or other was a a hybrid of a biscotti and meringue, soooooo good. Wanted an affogato but since it was late the gelato had been put to bed. They run out of pastries too, so if you want a goodie best to go earlier in the day. Only downside is that due to limited seating, most people get their Java to go, and there are tons of empty coffee cups littering the alley. (Please do better to-go coffee drinkers and respect this outstanding business). read more

Come for the ambiance alone - the stone walls and the tight space feel cozy and so old school European. The coffee was fantastic - not overly sweetened and you can taste the quality of the beans used! The pastry selection was also great , try their pistachio croissant for a great sweet treat accompaniment to a delicious espresso. read more

Agree this is the best cappuccino in Montreal so far ! Milk foam is a bit sweet and the sifted chocolate make it extra special. Biscotti is fresh and the Italian tunes are dreamy. Tables turn over quickly so order at the bar and a table will be open by the time you are ready! Enjoy! read more

Omg!!! If you're not on your way to grab a latte and a mini pistachio croissant at Cafe Olimpico, why even bother going out in Montreal? Everything about this place was just the best!

This is a cozy, small and quaint café located in Old Montreal and it's the perfect place to grab a hot drink or two and some pastries. Since it's a smaller café, it can be a challenge to grab a table, but the high tables by the windows offer a great view of the street to enjoy your drinks/pastries. I wouldn't come here if you are a large party/group of people wanting to sit at a table, since it is limited with space and seating. All in all, I enjoyed this café and the guy behind the counter serving our drinks was very friendly. read more

Smooth espresso with milk foam warmed up to a perfect temperature that a chocolate crust forms. They also have a great coffee gelato if it is hot and you need to cool down. Lots of seating everywhere. Inside there were several people working on laptops. They also had a beautiful outdoor seating area with lots of shade and flowers. Perfect setting for writing and reading. read more

Finally checked out Café Olimpico after all these years. They're an Italian cafe that's been around since 1970. There's two other locations in town (downtown and Old Port). We dropped in on a busy Saturday afternoon (around 3:30pm) and the line was backed up to the entrance. Baristas were friendly and efficient. Golf was playing on the TV's. Plenty of seating inside but the communal benches outside is where it's at. The drink menu is up on a few boards (behind the counter) and includes all taxes. They also offer gelato and a couple cake slices. - Latte freddo ($4.50) - B subbed for oat milk ($0.50). Basically an iced coffee, slushy style. Really good kick of caffeine. Delicious. - Bitter mix ($4.50) - lemon and peach slushy. Reminded me of a slurpee but lighter, less sweet and more refreshing. Perfect on a hot summer day. Will have to come back again to CO! read more

Super cute little cafe in old town Montreal aka Vile Marie where almost everything is 1940's French architecture and cobble stone cuteness. Cafe was extremely busy on my every visit. There aren't too many here in this part of town: or as nice. Owner is older gentleman and very fast pace but friendly. Baristas are younger men that's friendly and fast. On my first visit: my friend kept talking about affogato... I asked for something pretty: barista promised to make me the prettiest latte ever. Then he felt the pressure of over promising: we made him nervous as he said. It wasn't the prettiest but it was fluffy for sure. Way too sweet for my taste ( he overheard us talking about affogato, ended up making me affogato). My friend went with normal latte which is what I usual order. Next visit: I made sure I get a normal latte. Which was a much better choice. No syrups! Less sweet, nice and bitter like all my exes :P Cafe is also connected to a hotel: brand new modern architecture, hanging chandeliers, green plants wall. It's like night and day walking from the cafe to the lobby. Old world and new world together. Quite unique. If you can manage to grab a table ( 1 out of 3) in the cafe, it's quite fun to people watch. Cute vibe and fluffy latte ( minus the affogato): with the gorgeous cobble stone road outside. I'm a fan! read more

Had an oat milk latte. Was amazing and the coffee was not bitter at all and milk had the perfect amount of foam. Not a coffee expert but can confirm, this place served me one of the most delicious lattes ever! Service was very straightforward. I noticed they don't rinse their pitchers inbetween steaming milk. Unsure if they have a system but could cause problems with food allergies/intolerances if they are mixing milks. read more

Checked out Café Olimpico on a late Saturday afternoon. It's an Italian cafe with friendly baristas and a laid back vibe. Line was backed up to the door but it moved quickly. Tried a latte freddo ($4.50) and bitter mix ($4.50). Iced coffee flavour was strong. Bitter mix was a lemon and peach slushy. Both were refreshingly good on a scorching summer day. Will have to try their gelato and other drinks next time. read more

Rich tasting coffee like no other places is Montreal! I highly recommend it ! Especially for a weekend outing

I love this place. My family and I just got back from 3 days in Montreal. Our hotel was in Old Montreal about 2 blocks from Cafe Olimpico. Our hotel served breakfast on site, but they didn't have espresso and the like. So my hubby and I walked around the area to find my morning espresso. Cafe Olimpico is a small corner cafe, but it has plenty of space inside. They have a good variety of coffee drinks and Italian pastries. The staff is very friendly and helpful. And there is room to sit and enjoy your selections inside the cafe. I got a double macchiato, which was amazing. My hubby got an Americano coffee, which he really enjoyed. We tried a variety of pastries, which were so good that we bought extra to enjoy later on. My adult sons, in their 30's, got up late but wanted espresso too, so we sent them here. They were thrilled. This place is recommended by my whole family. We'll be back. read more

Café Olimpico - Some of this Friday's bakery selections - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Crowded spot on a Sunday afternoon, as there was a moderate line all along the cafe to order. Fairly large selection of coffee types to choose from as well as pastry options. Decided on a Cappuccino ($4ish) as well as the Carrot Cake ($?). The carrot cake is a fairly large slice with a moderate layer of cream cheese frosting. Cake was mostly dry on the inside and the frosting too sweet. Cappuccino is very good, definitely on the bitter side, but it did balance out the sweetness of the carrot cake. Crowd is bustling in here as they have TV's going for any sports that may be playing. Probably best to take as a carry out. read more

This place should be in a movie, because it is the epitome of a corner coffee shop! The walls were flooded with memorabilia, ample seating throughout, televisions playing soccer games, and the air was full of caffeine.
