This small little coffee shop was located right around the corner from our hotel. It's a small and cozy 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. read more

Café Olimpico truly lives up to its reputation and then some. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm, authentic, and full of character -- the kind of place where you know you're about to experience something special. 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. read more

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

A montreal classic. Tiny shop, only meant for take out coffees. Almost always a line but it goes by quick. I like their remix a lot (a layered mix of cold espresso, caffe crema soft-serve, with hot frothed milk & chocolate). I recommend it to anyone who likes a nice sweet but not too sweet coffee treat in the summer. The affogato also isn't bad, just a bit too much ice cream for me. Their mocha is one of the best. read more

First time checking out Café Olimpico's downtown location on a busy Friday morning. The inside is small and cramped, but there's a bench outside. Went with a caffé latte ($4.50) with lait d'avoine ($1.00). Okay but tiny. Their latté freddo is better. read more

I came in for a quick morning coffee and ordered my go-to cappuccino along with a chocolate hazelnut croissant. The barista was friendly and quickly prepared our order. The cappuccino was smooth and hot, and the croissant was packed with so much chocolate! After we arrived, a line started forming, so I'm glad we got there early and secured a seat, especially since it's a pretty small place. The cafe has a dark, moody atmosphere, making it perfect for a slow morning. Note: got engaged in Montreal hence the little green figurines. I took pics of all the spots I tried with them! read more

Café Olimpico - Cappuccino & chocolate hazelnut croissant - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

After hearing so much about Café Olimpico, I finally visited their downtown Montreal location -- and it was totally worth the wait! The coffee here is next level -- rich, bold, and full-bodied, just how it should be. I started with their Caffè Crema, which tasted like a coffee ice cream -- creamy, smooth, and just the right sweetness (4.5/5). Then tried the Caffè Freddo, which came in a small cup with crushed ice -- small portion, but unforgettable flavor (4/5). The Cortado completely won me over: strong, rich, and flavorful (5/5) -- honestly, the perfect espresso drink. I also got their Bombolini, which was soft and perfectly sweet (3.5/5). The café has such a warm, European aesthetic, though it's pretty small and crowded, especially during busy hours. The atmosphere is lively but a bit tight. Still, the barista was super friendly and funny, making jokes and giving off great energy, which made the visit extra enjoyable. The only downside? The drink sizes are small for the price -- but the flavor and quality make up for it. Definitely a must-visit for any coffee enthusiast -- I'd pick Café Olimpico over Starbucks or Van Houtte any day! read more

I loved this little coffee shop! It is nice and cozy and the barirsta was very friendly. On my next trip, I am going to make this the place to get my morning coffee. I really enjooyed the coffee! read more

Came here for the first time while visiting Montreal. I was recommended this location specifically although I do know they are a chain. It was a very cold winter night but we specifically walked here because we had heard great things. The coffee was actually very good and we also got a mocha which was just as delicious. We also ordered one of their beignets/donuts (also very good) However, the barista/server was... something else. He seemed annoyed that we wanted to switched from ordering to go to "for here" - the place is quite small so there was not a lot of space but I had spotted a couple that was planning on leaving right after we ordered. Idk why that would have made such a big difference as no matter what we still ordered 2 drinks. The energy he gave off was just very rude and unwelcoming. I didn't go into another cafe olimpico again the whole trip. read more

I would give the coffee a 4.5 if I could. I would definitely recommend getting the remix if you like your coffee in the sweeter and creamier side. The inside is really cute and it's like an old coffee shop vibe. The people were also really nice and were happy to help with anything I asked. I got a latte this time and the hazelnut and pistachio bambolones. A lot of filling. read more

Café Olimpico - Caffe Crema - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Wow I was obsessed with this cafe in the 6 days that I was in Montreal. Delicious cannolis, great pistachio croissants, bombolini and tiramisu were just ok IMO.... but the best part was the solid espresso/coffee and remix drink! You really can't go wrong with anything you order here. Baristas are always super friendly (though busy) and willing to dig through inventory to see if the merch you wanted was in stock in your size. Anyway, a must go if you are in Montreal and like coffee and/or pastries. You won't regret it :) read more

A bit small and claustrophobic but perhaps it adds to the experience. Coffee was good, that's what matters most. read more

10 stars to the barista. Wow! Such amazing customer service!! This is a place to go not only for the creamiest lattes and delicious bambolinos (nutella, pistachio, or ricotta), but for the feeling you get when you find a place where employees like their customers. Thank you!!! read more

This is a tiny coffee shop that would be easy to miss except for the constant flow of patrons in and out. For years I have meant to try an afogatto (sp?) but never did. Until now. How could I miss the OG of coffee ice cream all of my life?!? Their other coffees are the delicious, the espresso is liquid perfection. And the staff is friendly and entertaining. read more

Café Olimpico is a cozy hole-in-the-wall in the heart of Montréal. We were a little apprehensive because of the reviews and the pay-to-drink ratio, but we couldn't have been happier to have stopped by. DRINKS We ordered two iced caffe lattes and were initially surprised by how small they were compared to other coffee drinks we had had in the area. But the quality makes up for size and more. It's strong and not sweet. Any larger of a cup, and our hearts probably would've gone into cardiac arrest. Finally, there's also oat milk available as an alternative milk. FOOD We ordered two bombolonis (creme-filled Italian doughnuts)-- one filled with Nutella and the other with ricotta and chocolate chips. Both were absolutely rich and decadent. It's definitely a dessert, but we had it in the morning, and it was still delightful. 10/10 recommend. AMBIANCE The place is small and cozy (a little dim), and the vibes are definitely more suited for some long conversations or a quick dip in and out. The layout is structured at two per table, and there are about 5 tables inside the café. read more

Cool little spot we found on a visit to Montreal that was close to our hotel, opened early and was within walking distance. Our barista was super friendly & made great cappuccino. With real chocolate on top which they don't do in our local area in the US. With what seemed like a steady stream of regulars, very glad we had the chance to stop in. read more

The go to café in Montréal. I myself am not a coffee drinker. Although I love the flavor, it has always been something I stayed away from, but the smell even walking by was so inviting I decided on my own macchiato. One of the best coffees I have ever, hands down. Let's just say it was so good that we hit every other location in Montréal in our journey to explore. You won't be disappointed! read more

Our second stop on our whimsical coffee-tasting journey, we serendipitously came upon this charming little place, just two minutes away from the Tim Hortons where we hanged, drew, and quartered our tastebuds. "C'était un trou de pierre où chantait une machine à espresso à '1.3'" Located on the side of a Neo-Gothic maisonnette, conveniently located next to a small copper-roofed cathedral, a pair of lovebirds chirped politely at its door. Going down the stairs that led to the half-basement that housed this bistro roma , I was reminded of those French establishments where frequented the likes of Sartre and Camus and Foucault. Alas, I remarked no members of the local intelligentsia there, discounting potentially the couple mentioned previously. When I asked the barista about the machine's pressure, he replied that the tiny screen read 1.3. Huh. Oh, and it has a screen. Erring from tradition, but who doesn't love (and, let's be real, need) the occasional maverick. 50-years fresh and blended from 5 sources, the coffee was leagues ahead of Tim Hortons, of course, but still wisps of burntness were thinly veiled in its otherwise quaint aroma. Creamy and bright, this little coffee, had spiwit, a wittle touch of dewing-do. However, hints of bitterness layed at the edge of each tiny sip, and half-finished and somewhat cooled, the coffee was distinctly sour. Sitting on the varnished wooden bench belted by a quaint little stone moat, I wondered how I would review this renegade café, reminiscent of Breville in his day. A unique, verismo experience, but not the Italian verismo. Would come again, but I'm keeping my eyes peeled for what else Montreal's coffee community has to offer. 8.3/13 read more

Café Olimpico - Espresso - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Coffee and Taste: The coffee was very nice. It opened at 8AM on Saturday which was nice since not alot of places were open at the time. One of the better americanos I have had in the city. Food: There is a large selection of baked goods ranging from donuts, croissants, cannolis. The donuts are fresh and extraordinary. The pistachio one is rolled in sugar and has a really good nutty pistachio flavoured filling Atmosphere: There is small two person tables, in a small sized cafe that is intimate. Usually has upbeat music. Nice place tucked away on a busy street. The barista is not the most friendly guy, but not rude per se. Just not a cup of morning sunshine. To be fair it was rainy and cold that day? read more

Best coffee drinks I've had in a long time. Small place and always a line. But definitely worth it.

Great coffee needs helpers and long lines today! I'm visiting a great bakery pastry.

Apologies in advance to all Olimpico loyal customers! Located right across time-out market on Robert-Bourassa, the location is modern and on the smaller side but still charming. I was very eager when I found out that one of my favorite coffee shops opened a location near my office. Sadly, my experience didn't come anywhere close to the ones I have had in the Mile-End. The barista basically decided to put chocolate on my latte eventhough I didn't ask for it. Also the foam and coffee taste wasn't consistent with the Olimpico brand. He also decided that I should pay for the person behind me and mixing our orders as she asked for chocolate on hers. I am not sure if it's the machine, the beans and/ or the barista having a bad day or simply careless. I'll just stick to the one in the Mile-End :-) read more

amazing vibes and amazing coffee. Daniele and Nico are some of the best baristas ever. must try coffee spot in Montreal

The best pistachio and Almond croissants! We wanted more but they already sold out at 10am on a Wednesday. The fillings were so smooth and not too sweet. We also had a cannoli, hot chocolate and Cafe latte which were also good but nothing spectacular. read more

I was super excited when I suddenly learned Cafe Olimpico opened a branch here. Despite being a loyal customer of Cafe Olimpico in Mile-End, it's not always feasible to go there from McGill area. So I was naturally overjoyed and excited when I found out about this branch and went there the very next day..... Well, what I found was rather disappointing. The cappuccino at Mile-End set a bar so high that I couldn't find a better cappuccino at any other cafe. So, when I ordered a cappuccino from this branch, I didn't expect anything less. To say that what I received was disappointing would be understatement. I just couldn't see how cappuccino at Mile-End and here can differ so much. It seemed to be same beans, machines etc. Is it the barista? I don't know. Maybe, I should try couple more times before giving a final verdict. But the incentive to try them again is hard to gather given there are multiple other places like Pikolo, Humble Lion etc right around the area. Also, while cappuccino and latte cost just 3 bucks at Mile-End, they are 3.75 here ... read more

Damn, pretty cozy and nice place. I don't often go to coffee shops because my 0.2253$ cup of tea that I bring from home is great, so for sure every coffee is over priced to me. Although, if you just want to sit with a coworker and just have a serious and philosophical discussion about Tekken, it's nice to go out once in a while, but not anywhere. Sitting at a table in McDonalds and hearing your food neighbors talking loudly in the back of their coworkers is not enjoyable. That is why there's places like this where you can enjoy your morning drink. I'll definitely go back here to enjoy some alone time too, I liked the calm ambiance (I go very early, not sure how it is on other times of day) read more

Small place in downtown area. Ordered sandwiches $13 each & 1 donut for $5. Food was good, but A little overpriced.

These guys are crushing it! New York style speed, excellence, and that Italian edge you know you need in your life. Tiramisu was off the chain, and the young upbeat staff were on fire. They are a well-oiled machine, definitely will be back. Hopefully COVID will let us sit down, but the crowd outside hanging out with their Café Olimpico cups tells you all you need to know! read more
