I forgot that Montreal is like Europe and serves authentic espresso drinks - so my macchiato was in an espresso size cup and not an American Starbucks size one. I should've ordered the cappuccino instead especially since that is what they are known for! doh.
I arrived on a Saturday morning expecting a long line, but it was very reasonable (the long line did show up though). One barista had a very loud personality, so he may rub you the wrong way, but I found him funny and unique to this cafe- felt more like I was at a friendly neighborhood bar. Bonus of Olimpico is its proximity to Saint Viateur bagels, so you can get a nice morning in this 'hood (although you can also partake in the delicious doughnuts they sell here, which we couldn't help but do).
