Yup, here is their "Greek" cup, LOL (this is a NYC joke) - Pun kinda intended! XD
Hannah K.

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!

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.

The remix
Nancy B.

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

Tiramisu
Kathy M.

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.

Coffee soft serve
Lynn N.

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.

Cannoli, americano, double espresso
Christopher K.

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

Molly C.

I get it. Coffee was outstanding- try the remix for an unexpected treat! I'm already to go back- not sure how anything else I'll find in MTL will compare. Find some counter space by the window to enjoy!

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).

Delphine C.

Visiting from Florida and was recommended this place by locals. It did not disappoint! I had the remix coffee and it was 10/10. Definitely recommend.

Cafe freddo, cappuccino,  biscotti,  salut!
Lala C.

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!

Pistachio croissant
Sreyoshi B.

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! The service, the ambience, the vibes, the people, the service, and the food. It's not an institution for nothing!

Pistachio donut
Logan D.

Pros: -Great casual outdoor seating area -Nice service -Solid donuts! Pistachio cream donut is heavy but full of delicious pistachio cream. If I was here longer I'd try the other two varieties (looked like chocolate and cannoli).

This small little coffee shop was located right around the corner from our hotel. It's a small and…read morecozy shop with just a few tables inside. It can get busy and the lines form out the door, but the pastries and coffee are worth it. We ordered the chocolate and pistachio filled croissants and donuts. I would rate both chocolate and pistachio filled croissants a 9/10 and the donut versions of each a 7/10. I felt the croissants tasted better and had more filling. We ordered the Remix which is authentic freddo expresso, cafe crema soft serve and topped off with hot frothed milk and chocolate. This was a 10/10 and was every bit of amazing as it looks in the picture. Service was fast and friendly. One note, they don't have flavored coffees, so I couldn't order a caramel latte, for example. Overall, great coffee shop that we enjoyed every day during our stay.

Café Olimpico truly lives up to its reputation and then some.

We ordered a hot chocolate, cappuccino, tiramisu, and an affogato, and every single item exceeded expectations. The hot chocolate was rich, smooth, and indulgent without being overly sweet -- pure comfort in a cup. The cappuccino was perfectly brewed with bold espresso flavor and beautifully textured milk, exactly how a great Italian-style coffee should be. The highlight of our visit, without question, was the affogato. It was hands down the best I've ever had. The pistachio gelato was unbelievably creamy, nutty, and flavorful, and when paired with the hot espresso, it created an unforgettable balance of temperature and taste. It was truly out of this world and worth the visit on its own. To finish, the tiramisu was light, perfectly layered, and not overpowering -- a flawless end to an already incredible experience. Everything tasted fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and authentic. Café Olimpico isn't just a café -- it's an experience. Exceptional quality, consistency, and passion in every cup and dessert. Highly recommended, and absolutely a place we'll keep coming back to.
