Tommy Café offers a stylish, cozy downtown vibe with solid coffee and fresh pastries that many reviewers praise, including croissants, cookies, and avocado toast; the atmosphere and decor are described as welcoming and conducive to meetings or a relaxed break; coffee quality varies by drink and time of day, with morning drip praised while some afternoon cups feel burnt or underwhelming; service is friendly but not always fast, and occasional delays are blamed on staff chatting, which may frustrate those in a hurry; seating can be hard to find and the upstairs area is valued by some, with prices sometimes seen as a bit high; overall the place is considered a worthwhile stop for locals and visitors looking for a pleasant cafe experience in Montreal.
Really liked the ambiance inside the cafe, quite cozy. I believe there was an upstairs floor to study & chill so I might try that next time. I got an iced matcha latte with vanilla syrup to go. It was well balanced in sweetness.
Service was fast & the staff there were very friendly & helpful.
Very disappointing experience. The service was extremely slow, & the staff seemed uninterested in helping customers. Overall, poor quality & not worth the money. I would not recommend this place.

Pour les personnes intolerantes au lactose, attention! Si vous commandez une boisson avec un lait sans lactose, ca sera fait avec du lait classique 0%.
Heureusement que j'ai changé mon'lait sans lactose' pour du lait de macadam en dernière minute. D'ailleurs, la barista a gentiment fait ma boisson avec le lait macadam en me disant'ok, mais logiquement c'est un supplément'. A priori, dire qu'ils ne proposent pas de lait sans lactose était également en supplément.
Bref, allez ailleurs. Vous aurez un meilleur service.
Tommy Cafe has not missed at any location I've been to before this one, but this one just might be my favourite! They have made fantastic use of the space with seating on the ground & upper floor laid out in a comfortable way. The coffee is fantastic, as are the treats. I haven't had any meals here yet but they look dope. Service was wonderful as well as another plus. They keep the cafe clean & functional even with the high volume.
We were here for Tommy Café, such a cute spot! It has two floors with plenty of space, which makes it really comfortable to hang out. The coffee was good & came out quickly, & the service was great as well. I also loved the playlists they were playing. Overall, a really nice place to visit!
I had a really positive experience at TOMMY's Café. I ordered a hot chocolate & a croissant sandwich. Everything looked fresh & beautifully presented.
After taking a few bites of the salad, I realized that the sandwich contained meat, which I hadn't intended to order. It was my mistake for not checking more carefully when placing my order. I went back to confirm with the employee, & she kindly let me know that it did contain meat. I returned to my seat feeling a bit disappointed with myself for not paying closer attention.
A little while later, the staff member who had served me (Gabrielle) noticed I hadn't eaten the sandwich. She came over, kindly asked if I don't eat meat, & immediately offered to replace it with something I could eat, despite it not being her fault at all.
That small gesture truly made my day. It showed genuine care & attentiveness, & it turned what could have been a disappointing moment into something really meaningful.
It's rare to come across that level of kindness & customer service. I truly appreciated the experience & would definitely recommend this café for its outstanding service.
They close the main seating area early without warning & then there's no space to sit & finish your drink/food. I arrived 15 minutes before they closed the upstairs, & they provided no warning as I was checking out. Avoid this cafe if you intend to sit with your food/beverage.
I've been several times to this location.
Their drip coffee early in the morning is better; their afternoon one is burnt, disgusting & therefore not worth your money.
Their Cappuccino is really good if you like a lot of milk. If not your best option is a Cortado which has the same two espresso shots but less milk & I believe is cheaper.
The vibe of the place is nice, nice decoration, great playlists but service is not the greatest. The staff takes a lot of time preparing orders & what is disappointing is to see that whats slows them is the fact they are chitchatting in Portuguese…if you are in a rush maybe considering going elsewhere.

Nice café! They didn't have bagel with cream cheese, but the latte was good & the croissant was fresh. Recently I went there again & the lavender latte was well made, though a bit too sweet for my taste. The framboise cookie was also tasty.
Great place to check it out when visiting Montreal! Gabriel & Wallace were just so sweet, & helpful! I had a great time meeting my friend there! Would love to come back in the summer, & check it out again! I bought beans & a hoodie too!
