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.
Great breakfast! The food was delicious. The ambience is cozy & big shout out to Sarah for her service! We went twice during our trip & both times we had a great time.
I simply love this place. The food was so delicious, great nice portions & the service was quick & friendly. Everything was amazing & I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants breakfast or brunch.

"A Charming Montreal Breakfast Spot: Tommy's Cafe" Tommy's Cafe is a delightful spot for breakfast in Montreal. The ambiance is charming with a distinct retro vibe, creating a cozy & inviting atmosphere. Service was exceptional, & the staff was very accommodating to non-French speakers, making communication a breeze. The food was fantastic! The menu creatively utilizes ciabatta bread in a variety of dishes, adding a unique touch. I particularly enjoyed the breakfast croissant, which featured an authentic French taste & was further enhanced by the addition of a perfectly cooked egg. We also tried the lox & stellina, & appreciated the inclusion of salmon rolls alongside the lox. Overall, Tommy's Cafe is a highly recommended breakfast destination in Montreal.
Great big breakfast, super tasty & the cafe is superb. Our server Matt was super fast, efficient & Very pleasant. I recommend this in old port on Rue st Paul O.
The food & the breakfast coffees/teas were to die for at Tommy Cafe! We waited about 5 minutes for a seat; the turnover time was incredible & efficient. Food was scrumptious, but my sisters said their tea & coffee were unbelievable! It's a tight space, but incredibly cozy & comfortable. Team members were so great & fast. We were so impressed by this spot.
Cozy place for brunch - our first visit & choose this by googling for a breakfast place. No regrets! the food was amazing & you can tell it was made with passion. We had the Suzy Rise & Melted down. Coffee was fresh & delicious! Service was average not issue with us because they were super busy on a Saturday - it was crazy! Would recommend to anyone!
Food was very delicious. Cappuccino & Mochaccino were both good. The ambiance & atmosphere is very welcoming. Service was as good as it can get considering how busy the cafe is. I really liked the open kitchen. Highly recommend this cafe for breakfast or brunch.
Had satuarday morning brunch in Sept in this little Cafe in old Montreal, apparently part of a chain of cafes in Montreal, this particular one was very busy with great upbeat ambience & lot of plants all around & good energetic background music that reminds me of Tony Robbins events, We ordered the Truffle Benedict, which is a egg benedict with truffle hollandaise sauce,, & Emma, which is a grilled cheese with tomato soup, We also ordered 2 Lucky Tommy Latte, which had lucky charm cheerios in them, & I thoroughly enjoyed it ( it's basically like having breakfast cereal with whipped cream & coffee at the same time, extremely efficient lol) A negative is that the food takes really long time to come out when they are busy, so if you are in a hurry this might not be a good choice for you. Will definitely recommend if you are staying in Old Montreal for brunch, it would start your day in a great way👍
The food was excellent! The employees were so kind & the food came super fast! Most cafes we've been to here were fast-food like, but this is very authentic & all the food is fresh. Best crossiant I've ever had, the truffle benetic was amazing & & the crossiant breakfast sandwich was exquisite! Would 100% recommend! Even the food comes with salads with a sauce that tastes like truffle, delicious 😋 Food was organic & healthy, & the veggies tasted right from the farm. The pastries were also very fresh & tasted like they just came out of a batch with a sweet hint & soft delightment. You HAVE to come here! ❤️ to Tommy's Cafe!
I wanted to try a new place for breakfast with a friend today & we decided to try Tommy. The atmosphere & the service was ok. BUT! The food was veeeery disappointing. For starters it was overpriced, but, ok, let's say it was expected from the old port. But I was like: "come on guys you can't charge so much & not deliver with food, at least make an effort..." I ordered the Falafel dish.... If you call a whole dish "falafel" maybe it is a good idea to put a bit mire than 3 very sad bolls of falafel...? The falafel itself was super dry like a stone, like it was made bad or from yesterday. My friend ordered a salmon bagel. It was very mediocre. I won't be coming back.
bit pricey but delicious food with giant portions! highlights include their breakfast potatoes & the bread-both scrumptious & about which i will be thinking for months to come. good service & beautiful little location also, obsessed with the decor.
