    Ice Americano
    Almog K.

    This place is VERY popular and for a reason. Good coffee and very nice service. We came on a Saturday afternoon (5pm) and it was PACKED! We were a group of 10 people so sitting was challenging but we figured it out between 2 tables. It's loud here so keep that in mind and it's not really a "chill" kinda vibe it's more like to go and really walk around but it was fine

    Espresso

    I was shocked how hard it was to find a coffee shop other than Dunkin open at 6am. Thankfully I came across this place that I had walked by the night prior. Short line, single person staffing shop, but he was on it. Clearly this was a place where locals come as he had orders being made as he saw people coming up and was talking to a few of them. Very friendly and very efficient. A couple good pastry options. My espresso came out pretty quick and was perfect. Temperature wasn't blistering hot, it was smooth, and just perfect to start my day. If you are an early riser, or just like coffee I would definitely check this place out.

    The perfect coffee shop and pastry experience! I had the cafe latte hot which was simplistic but smooth, creamy, and perfect amount of coffee flavor. I also had the affogato which I would not skip out on - i had it with the pistachio ice cream and it was such a delicious treat but you could also get it with vanilla or chocolate. Service was fast despite the busy long line and very friendly in assisting with orders. The ambiance is modern casual with a sporty Olympic theme, very limited seating, would recommend grabbing and go!

    Located next to Hotel William Gray, this quaint coffee shop has a cozy, romantic ambiance. The opened windows to the cobblestone streets invites you in to enjoy the moment. However, the cappuccino was on the small size and unfortunately they did not have a toaster to warm up the chocolate croissant.

    Must try the affogato! Really cute coffee shop with great ambiance, friendly staff and amazing coffee.

    Latte
    Shanelle Y.

    When I first walked in there was a line to order but it moved very fast. At coffee shops I usually get a vanilla latte with almond milk, so when the worker informed me that they only carry regular milk and oat milk, no flavors, and no syrups, I wasn't quite sure what to order. The only option left (per my preferences) was an oat milk latte so that's what I ordered. However, I'm SO glad that I was basically forced to choose this, because I think it was the best latte I've ever had in my life. I was so tempted to go back for a second cup and looking back now, I wish I had!! The flavor of the coffee itself was unlike any other coffee I've tried and the drink - while simple - was delicious. 10/10

    Tiramisu
    Phillip C.

    Cute little cafe place. Great place to have a little date or even do some work. For anyone coming here, I would highly recommend their Tiramisu. It's a great late night dessert

    This cute cozy café is located in the heart of old port and is a perfect spot to grab desserts/small sandwiches to go or sit down and enjoy your coffee, dessert or breakfast sandwich. They open at 6am, so perfectly suitable for early birds. The staff are very nice and friendly; they made special cold drinks for us and recommended best options to eat. We tried their Tiramisu, Nutella-Cookie and Pistachio Bombolini. My favorite was Nutella-Cookie; I will always come back to try more.

    We came to this spot for the affogato and really loved it. It's Nutella, vanilla, or pistachio ice cream, served with an espresso poured over, and a piece of cannoli cookie on top. While in line the cannoli also caught our eye and I can't recommend it enough. It's creamy and delicious and small enough to be the perfect little bite. I loved it so much I went back in line to get another

    Remix
    Hanna P.

    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.

    Double espresso
    Saad B.

    Café Olympico in Vieux-Montréal has some of the best coffee! I got a double espresso. Skipped the pastries because, you know, diet life. Perfect for grabbing a coffee and strolling the old town. Highly recommend!

    Inside the cafe
    Yvette M.

    If we didn't stop a local to find this place, we would have missed this absolute diamond in the rough! I know traveling adds that certain charm, but this was magical beyond words. Seated in the oldest part of Montreal, this building carry so much history. It's absolutely charming! What makes it even better is the absolutely positively hands-down best coffee! The service is wonderful, but you do have to wait a little because everything is handcrafted and freshly brewed, and art fully made. You can even bring home some coffee for your coffee machine, Nespresso machine or K cup machine... Which I highly recommend !

    Tiramisu

    Must try when around rue St. Paul. Tried the tiramisu and pistachio bombinio and both were wonderful.

It's a beautiful restaurant, they cover a wide area within the hotel, including a lounge area, a more cocktail bar area, and a full restaurant set up. The beauty? They cover anything you might want. The downside? They're busy and usually severely behind schedule. I've been with great, consistent staff and I've been and left after 20 minutes of no check in. It can be hit or miss, but when it hits? It hits. They also provide the food that you order up to your room, which is probably my favorite part. Hotels rarely offer the same great menu to your room and so I always know when I've had a long workday that I can just get the same great dinner and lounge in bed after and avoid people. They also are great at getting breakfast to your door early, which makes trips to Montreal so much easier, especially if you're going for work. They always have a great selection of drinks, full bar so they offer everything, and the bartenders has been the same for at least a couple years. They're really nice. They do a good job. Ask for the food, it is always good, and the part I love is that they're very good about allergies when you mention it to them. They offer gluten-free bread and they change out ingredients. I've never had a bad meal or snack. So even when sometimes the weight is too long I know I'll be back another day and I'll have something great.

There is a bar in front with lounge style seating. It was eclectic and the music had a French twist. I ate lamb the first night and steak the night after. Both delicious but I liked the lamb better and the nioch was a nice touch. The thinly sliced fries with the steak was difficult to eat. The octopus was amazing and soft. Overall great and attentive staff and good food.

    I became obsessed with matcha after I came to Matcha Zanmai for the first time. I tried their latte…read moreand cakes, but the Signature Zanmai is in my opinion the best item on their menu. Not only does it come with matcha ice cream, it has red beans, chunks of matcha cake, matcha jelly, and some rice crispies inside. It's texture heaven for people who like a little bit of everything. Though the rice crispies do get a bit soggy because they are on the bottom, so if I suggest trying to get to the rice crispies sooner rather than later! It's a pretty small store so it's not a hangout spot, but more of a place to pop in to grab a treat and go walk around the city. I miss this spot and wish they had a location in the US.

    Craving real matcha desserts? This place delivers. We tried the Glacé Pilée Zanmai (shaved ice),…read moreParfait Zanmai Signature, and Parfait Gâteau Matcha. Each one was delicious, showcasing rich, smooth matcha that isn't overly sweet or bitter. Definitely a spot for true matcha lovers. Asian desserts are usually not sweet so this is expected and well executed. The place itself is small with very limited seating, and there were only two people working behind the counter who looked understandably exhausted. Parking is street only, and it gets busy, so expect a line. Overall, a great spot for high‑quality Asian matcha desserts and well worth the wait.
