The Best New Cafés in Montreal (Spring 2020) | Eater Montreal

"Mile End icon Olimpico just expanded for the second time ever, with a new coffee shop inside the former Presbytery behind the Christ Church Cathedral. It might be a little shinier than the St-Viateur original, but with the same Italian-style espressos at the same prices, it’s arguably the best price-to-quality ratio for a hit of caffeine anywhere downtown." - Tim Forster

Café Olimpico Opens Downtown Montreal Coffee Shop | Eater Montreal

"A Mile End icon, Café Olimpico has opened a new downtown location on Robert‑Bourassa, occupying the former Presbytery behind Christ Church Cathedral and part of what used to be Apollo 1333 at 1333 Robert‑Bourassa. I found the space shinier than the nearly 50‑year‑old Mile End premises — with a marble and wood‑panelled bar and concrete floors, it's classy and simple rather than gimmicky. They serve the same solid Italian‑style espresso as the St‑Viateur Street original, along with Italian pastries like biscotti and cannoli, and the operation remains independently owned and operated by Jonathan Vannelli and Victoria Furfaro (no franchising). Prices are a bit higher than the Mile End original — an espresso is $2.50 and a latte or cappuccino is $3.75 (about 50¢ and 75¢ more respectively) — but are comparable to other independent downtown coffee shops. This marks Olimpico’s second expansion (after a small 2016 counter in Old Montreal), and it's open daily from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m." - Tim Forster

I love Jesse! He made my experience beyond extraordinary. I didn’t got to have a seat because the place was full and I can definitely understand why, it’s because of Jesse, he treats everyone like friends. It was my first time here and I already feel the warmth, thank you again Jesse! I got a latte, cannoli and a couple souvenirs since my experience was soooo good and I don’t want to forget it

Caffè Olimpico is hands down one of the most authentic cafés I’ve visited. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and full of character, with beautiful wooden interiors and plenty of light that make it feel both cozy and vibrant. The coffee is absolutely top-notch — rich, smooth, and clearly made by skilled baristas who know what they’re doing. You can taste the quality in every sip. Their croissants and cakes are also exceptional: fresh, and baked to perfection. Located in downtown Montreal, it’s the perfect place to relax, catch up with friends, or simply enjoy a quiet moment. The positive energy and friendly service make the experience even better. Highly recommend to anyone who appreciates authentic, high-quality coffee and a truly Italian café experience. A must-visit spot if you’re in the area!

Finally tried Café Olimpico’s downtown Montreal location after wanting to visit for ages — and it went beyond my expectations! Their coffee is rich, bold, and full of flavor — exactly how I love it. I had their Caffè Crema, which was creamy and perfectly sweet (like coffee ice cream!) — a solid 4.5/5. The Caffè Freddo with crushed ice was small in size, but unforgettable in taste (4/5). The Cortado was everything I’ve been searching for — strong, rich, and mesmerizing (5/5). I also tried their Bombolini, which was soft, light, and delicious (3.5/5). The café itself has such a charming, European vibe, though it’s small and gets overcrowded easily — not much space to move around, especially when there’s a line. But the aesthetic and energy totally make up for it. The staff were friendly and funny, cracking jokes and making the experience even better. The only downside is the small drink sizes considering the price, but honestly, the quality of the coffee speaks for itself. I’d pick Café Olimpico over Starbucks or Nespresso any day. Highly recommend for true coffee lovers!

Solid spot for coffee near downtown Montreal - I wish I did buy some of their beans so that I could brew at home. Their coffee is very neutral, not too sharp, tart, or fruity, but not too tobacco or cereal either. Their coffee closest resembles that of Arabica, so if you like that style, you will enjoy this. There’s almost always a line here as well, so be prepared to wait to order and wait for your drink. All that means is they’re doing something right!

We went to Cafe Olimpico after seeing reviews and videos of it online. We got the viral Remix drink and the Cafe Creme. The Remix was delicious and we would definitely get it again. It was something different that we’ve never had. The Cafe Creme was a bit unexpected. We thought it was a drink but it was more like an ice cream. Still good but not something we were anticipating. Both portion sizes were pretty small as you can see in the photos. We were hoping to get something bigger considering the prices.

First time checking out Café Olimpico’s DT location on a busy Friday morning. The inside is cramped but there’s a bench outside. Went with a caffé latte ($4.50) with lait d’avoine ($1.00). Okay but tiny. Latté freddo is better.

One of the classic and my favorite cafe place to hang out with friends! The vibe, the ambience and the server is super friendly and welcoming (shoutout to Samstrong😆) if you’d love to try a taste of Italy, this is one of the place in Montreal to come try their desserts and their drinks.🤗

Tiny place but with incredibly tasty coffee. My favorite are Remix and Crema. Service is kind. If you come during peak hours - you may wait long in the line. There is a small outdoor space to enjoy your coffee and indoor. Also, if you walk behind the cafe you find a charming mini garden with fountain facing the cathedral.
