Café Olimpico is widely recommended as one of Montreal’s classic Italian coffee spots, and we stopped by this Vieux-Montréal location for a short coffee break earlier in the spring. It absolutely lived up to its reputation. I loved the vibe and ambience of the café—lively yet relaxed, with the Italian café energy that makes you want to linger a little longer.We had Macchiato and Cortado, they were very good. And the tiramisu was delicious, rich without being overly heavy. The cafe is quite small tho, with limited seating, and it connected to a clothing shop and to a hotel, the lineup was huge but moving fast. Moments like this really remind you that Quebec is a hidden gem for coffee lovers, with so many great cafés worth discovering. ☕️🇮🇹
My friend and I visited this place three times during a recent trip to Montreal, so it’s safe to say we were obsessed. We could not get enough of their caffe crema. Also enjoyed their remix and hot chocolate. The service was great and the atmosphere was perfectly cozy.
Café Olimpico is one of those charming little spots that instantly makes you feel at home. It’s a quaint, small café with limited seating, but what it lacks in size it more than makes up for in warmth, character, and quality. The moment you walk in, you can tell why it’s such a beloved staple among both locals and visitors. The coffee here is exceptional rich, smooth, and made with real care. It’s the kind of cup that wakes you up in the best way and keeps you coming back. Their food is just as impressive, simple yet delicious, and perfect for a quick bite or a relaxing moment with a pastry. The service is friendly and efficient, adding to that welcoming neighborhood feel that’s hard to find these days. What made it even better for me was how convenient it was to my hotel. Being able to stroll over for great coffee and a comfortable atmosphere was a huge plus, especially in a city with so many options. Even though space is limited, the café’s energy and authenticity make it worth waiting a few minutes if needed. It has that classic European café charm that encourages you to slow down and enjoy the moment, something that’s easy to appreciate in Montréal. Overall, I’d highly recommend Café Olimpico to anyone looking for quality coffee, good food, and a genuine local experience. It’s absolutely worth the visit, and I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in the city.
This little coffee shop means business . It is not by accident there is a line over the weekends . Get here early . Croissants are delicious . Pistachio filled is melt in your mouth good . Cookies offered include some Gluten free amaretto cookies which I picked up four for after dinner snacks and they are fantastic . It’s great to see coffee shops adding GF items .
