Café Olimpico truly lives up to its reputation and then some. From the moment you walk in, the…read moreatmosphere 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.

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.

It's located near the old port so it's a very good location. It's not that big so seating is limited. We had the latte and the taste wasnt bad, but not what I was expecting. I wish I would have looked at the menu beforehand because I saw customers with some delicious looking coffee. We also tried the mortadella sandwich and omg this was so good. The pistachio cream in between the mortadella was simply delicious. The staff were friendly and the cafe shop was easy to find. A must try in Montreal. I would definitely come back if I visit again!

Very cool little shop, nice ambiance, cool merch if you're looking for nice coffee themed gifts, and a friendly staff (especially since I don't speak French). I decided on the Dulce De Leche Latte for me and my wife and they were very good so good went back twice. One of the things that blew our mind was the Everything Bagel Scone it was delish and is a definite must try. Full of flavor, nice crunchy outside, cream cheese and bread in the middle was soft and perfect. They do have other selections of scones, croissants, and muffins as well but that Everything Bagel was boom. This shop is a definite must go to if in the area and I totally recommend it.

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.

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.
