Tommy Café receives broad praise for a warm, stylish ambience, a cafe vibe with plenty of natural light, and generous portions that make it a reliable brunch and breakfast spot in Montreal's Old Port. The food and coffee are frequently described as excellent or very good, with crowd-pleasers like avocado toast, eggs benedict variants, shakshuka, French toast, and comforting plates that feel comforting and well executed, while some dishes have disappointed regulars with dryness or sweetness. Service is commonly highlighted as friendly and attentive, though experiences note occasional slowness or busy crowds that lead to longer waits and, in a few cases, communication hiccups around water or dietary restrictions. The atmosphere and energy are repeatedly described as lively and welcoming, making it a popular spot for families, friends, and weekend gatherings, and the design and view from large windows add to the appeal. Pricing is sometimes described as a bit steep, but many feel the quality and portions justify the cost. Diners also stress the importance of clearly communicating allergies or dietary needs, as labeling can be uneven.
Elle & Maddy made my experience just luscious at Tommy's. They are friendly & warm. I'm so grateful they helped me navigate my way around Montreal. I came back every morning for breakfast during my vacation. Thank you, ladies, you rock!!!

Had a great breakfast experience at Tommy's in downtown. The food was delicious & the service was absolutely top notch friendly, attentive, & welcoming.
Just one small suggestion: warming the coffee cup before pouring would help keep the coffee hot for longer. Other than that, everything was spot on.
Overall, a solid 5-star experience. Will definitely be back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We discovered this café by chance while looking for breakfast. Cozy vibe, tempting menu, & the food is just fantastic. Friendly service included-highly recommend! & text the Cookies!
Emily was incredible! She was the most thoughtful server I have met in a long time. She made our girls trip breakfast so fun & memorable! The food was fantastic too!
Breakfast was phenomenal! Place had a live atmosphere. The food was tremendous douse. Truffle Benedict was delicious & the side salad was a nice great touch with just a perfect drizzle of balsamic.

Decided to enjoy breakfast here on a recommendation from a friend. Glad we did! The meals were great & the lattes were one of the best I've had. Will be returning!
Despite the construction I stumbled across this cute place, & the breakfast there was everything I wanted.
Delicious
Filling

While visiting Canada I wanted to try different places but will come back here for sure!

We visited Montreal here this past weekend & we had breakfast/brunch here every day & we absolutely loved all the dishes! Shout out to Emily & all the staff including the chefs! They did such an amazing staff. Highly recommended for the food & service & location!
The restaurant itself is very beautiful & the servers were also great. Unfortunately breakfast was a bit disappointing. I ordered a truffle omelette & the omelette was quite flat & dry, not at all fluffy how you expect an omelette to be. The coffee was also not the best. It is a convenient location if you are already in the Old Port area but I would say don't expect 5 star food.

WOW!! Wished we found this place 3 mornings ago!! Fantastic coffee & had the most delicious breakfast croissant. Flaky fresh pastry w smashed avocado prosciutto & melted cheese w green salad on the side.
Had a weekend breakfast here - the food was fantastic, the vibe was on point - casual, great music.. this is like your favourite neighbourhood place to meet. A sense where people come in & meet old friends, lots of regulars, & really good food. Most importantly, the coffee was good (how I decide if I will come back to a breakfast place). Recommend.
This café is a go-to favorite for both breakfast & lunch. The menu offers a wide variety of delicious options, everything I've tried has been consistently excellent. The service is top-notch, & the staff goes above & beyond to create a welcoming & enjoyable dining experience. A must-visit if you're in Montreal!
