The staff is very nice.
Prices are high.
The latte was not hot enough, the chicken sandwich was barely warm.
I had to keep my jacket on because it was cold inside. Other people had their jackets on as well.
I spent over $60 dollars between my boyfriend & me, & we were allowed to use their wifi for only 2 hours.
Très décevant.
Le café est servi dans de mauvais verres, la nourriture n'a aucun goût ni saveur.
Ça n'a rien à voir avec les Tommy qu'on connaît habituellement & c'est totalement incomparable avec celui de Royalmount.
On était heureux de trouver un Tommy plus proche de notre maison mais on n'y retournera pas de si tôt
En espérant que les choses s'améliore entre temps.

Its a beautiful Café! Love the decor & staff was so friendly! The coffee was delicious as was the sandwich/salad plate i had. I would definitely recommend this place & I cannot wait to go back.
The cafe was only about a quarter full, yet it took over 40 minutes for the two of us to receive our meals, which were quite simple & arrived looking rushed. Meanwhile, there were four staff members behind the counter chatting most of the time instead of helping the lone cook. There also seemed to be some confusion with orders being brought to the wrong tables.
That said, the space is beautiful & the place clearly has a lot of potential. I really hope these early kinks get smoothed out, as it could be a great spot.
We've been to other locations & everything was always good there but we had a really bad experience at this location. Half of my plate was not edible, I ordered scrambled eggs, potatoes, & bacon. The potatoes were unevenly cooked, half of them were overcooked & half of them were undercooked. I ordered scrambled eggs & they served me a cut up omelette. It was dry & spongey, I couldn't eat it. The only edible thing on the plate was the salad & the bread. It took forever to get my plate & the food was cold when I got it. The coffee is good but I would think twice about getting breakfast here.

Ce n'est pas un endroit idéal pour étudier longtemps.
Il faut acheter quelque chose toutes les deux heures pour avoir accès à Internet, ce qui rend l'étude sur une longue période peu pratique & dispendieuse.

I am a matcha lover & was hoping this one wouldn't disappoint but it did. 1$ extra for maple syrup (couldn't taste it) & another 1$ for oatmilk (I thought most coffee shops were done making you pay for your lactose intolerance lol). That being said, I didn't take away 2 stars for that second point but truly because that matcha only tasted like warm milk. You can see the color; light beige....where's the matcha?! No clue. Absolutely disappointing. Didn't make me want to try anything else. That being said, my boyfriend loved the coffee so I guess some items will disappoint while others will delight you. But for the price, it just stinks extra when you're disappointed.
The music was pretty loud & it truly is a vibe for louder crowds & not so much calm moments with your significant other; which is totally fine for some but not to my personal preference.
The place Laval was missing.
Tommy Café's new Chomeday location is genuinely cozy with a great atmosphere. The staff is incredibly friendly & goes the extra mile to make you feel welcome & supported whenever you need something.
The space is spotless, with plenty of seating options - tables, counter seats with plugs, & even sofas.
They're currently in soft opening, but I'm looking forward to coming back for lunch or happy hour in the coming months.
