    Decaf latte
    Jenna O.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]The original Cafe Olimpico location in Mile End does not disappoint with a cozy atmosphere and delightful food and drink.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I tired the decaf latte and loved every sip.

    Tiramisu

    BEST COFFEE EVER!!! The employees are so nice and welcoming, the coffees are amazing, and the tiramisu was sooo good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Definitely a cool vibe to hang out too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Caffe Crema
    Catie M.

    Quaint little coffee and pastry shop. Their cafe crema is amazing. There was a line out the door when I got there but only took ~15 minutes to get through. Service was very quick. I can imagine everything on their menu would be tasty.

    Didn't even plan to go here originally, but geeked when I almost walked past it in Mile-End. Stopped in and the place was bustling with life during the grand prix weekend, a bit of a line and the dining room was full, but [[HIGHLIGHT]]the environment is extremely cozy[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and the baristas are probably the kindest out of all the places I visited in Montreal. The coffee is also genuinely sooo good and worth the hype it gets. They had some very yum looking pastries as well. I really love the one-size coffee thing they have going on here as well. It feels like you're in Europe instead of Canada.

    pistachio cornetto, ricotta bomboloni, amaretto cookie

    Café Olimpico landed on my radar via my brother. When he visited Montreal a few years back, he visited here and had good things to say. During my own research, I also learned this was a popular spot known for their high quality Italian pastries. Since we were in Mile End and looking for some coffee and carbs, we thought it would be a good place to check out, so off we went. The café sits on a corner among several other commercial businesses; the entrance catches the eye with a hunter green awning that dons the Olympic torch and rings, as well as some outdoor seating. The inside very much gives off Italian café vibes - it's a medium-sized open area with tables scattered throughout. The production counter sits to the left where orders are placed, and televisions with different sports are projected across the perimeter. In addition to this location in Mile End, they have three other locations. We definitely wanted to get some coffee, but I didn't want to leave without browsing their bakes so I was scanning what they had. They have a good variety of coffee beverages, as well as several pastries. I ultimately decided to get a cappuccino, and we split three bakes: a pistachio cornetto, a ricotta bomboloni, and an amaretto cookie. The bakes were good. The cornetto was filled with pistachio cream which is kinda played out due to the Dubai chocolate craze - but the cornetto was nice and airy with a good filling ratio. The bombolini was also good as was the cookie - really high-quality bakes all around. Service was good, and overall I really enjoyed my experience at Café Olimpico. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The coffee and pastries were good, and the vibes are on.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I wouldn't hesitate to return the next time I'm in Montreal.

    Top: Tiramisu/ bottom: Cannoli 5/5 Rec both!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Super busy Cafe with both indoor and outdoor sitting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It was raining when we went so we opted for indoor sitting. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is a bit crowded but well worth it![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Coffee and desserts were 5/5 would recommend! I opted for the cold drink and great strong coffee with just enough sweetness to it. The tiramisu and cannoli were both super good! A must try if in Montreal.

    Seating

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is amazing[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], coffee is great! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was overall a great place to just have a seat and enjoy the morning.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Yup, here is their "Greek" cup, LOL (this is a NYC joke) - Pun kinda intended! XD
    Hannah K.

    Yes, as you can see in other reviews, it's a landmark place to visit! My husband and I first learned about this place through one of the Youtube videos we watched on where to go in Montreal. Maybe because like NYC Montreal is very pedestrian-oriented, cafe culture here is very strong too? [[HIGHLIGHT]]Although it was much tinier than I expected, it is very cozy and abuzz with customers because of its coffee and pastries.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] DO try the one labeled "heavenly" - There is a reason for the name! [[HIGHLIGHT]]And yes, it's right there on the corner of a bustling night life area of the Old City and open late.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] (My hubby and I are ok with coffee/caffeine at night and have no problem falling asleep, LOL! Maybe coffee is just a soothing beverage to us, who knows?) Just thinking of this right now is putting me in a happy place... :D!

    We loved this location. Convenient, right by the bagel shops. I got a delicious oat milk Cortado, and my husband got a cappuccino and a canoli. Definitely a good option in the neighborhood. They have a few other locations as well, but I liked this one. We've seen quite a longome at times, but weekdays it is better and we always wee able to find a seat. I believe street parking is paid, but you might be able to find some for free a couple of blocks away.

    The remix
    Nancy B.

    This place was the best coffee we had during our trip to Montreal. We read it was a must try so we had to come see for ourselves and it didn't disappoint. The line is long but it goes by fast. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's a good amount of seating indoors and a clean bathroom as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered their most popular drink the Remix and it's small but sooooo good. It's not super sweet but it is still sweet. It just had such good flavor and the staff was so friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They played great music in there too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Definitely a vibe[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    I visited MTL in January and honestly I was a little skeptical. One thing to note for any American tourists (lol) they don't do any flavored lattes. I went for an oatmilk mocha. Honestly, it was really good! Again, usually a lot of places are over-hyped but this place is legit!

    Tiramisu
    Kathy M.

    Good lattes in the middle of mile end. Olympic memorabilia and a cozy interior. A steady flow of people with a line from the door but service is fast and the line keeps moving. They had cookies and pastries like tiramisu and bombolones. I came here after seeing great reviews and pretty AND great drinks. That's what usually pulls you in. My iced mocha latte was good but it looks like it came from the slush dispensary (looking like a slushy machine) and oat milk was just added. Our hot latte was not served overflowing with milk foam and just looked a bit sad compared to the photos here on Yelp. But-- the drinks were good, espresso to milk ratio was good, and the place was cozy.

    Coffee soft serve
    Lynn N.

    There was a bit of a line when we got here but the service was so fast that it moved quickly. The servers were super friendly and I could not be happier with my little coffee soft serve! It was so tasty with just the right amount of coffee flavor. Part of me wishes I got the larger size because it was so good but the small size was really was the right amount to enjoy it.

    Cannoli, americano, double espresso
