Café Olimpico
A great quick stop on the Mile End walk: a proper Italian cappuccino at a café that's been pulling them since 1970. No pour-over theatre, just fast and correct, with a terrasse that's the neighbourhood's living room. Pair it with the bagel run — it's right on Saint-Viateur. A cheap, authentic, local coffee break between the bagel shops and the murals.
The Mile End's Italian espresso institution since 1970 — a fast, correct cappuccino and a buzzing terrasse, the neighbourhood's living room.
