Great food & atmosphere. Their tables are a touch close together, so unless the people next to you are tiny humans, you can look forward to a bit of a struggle as they get to the banked seating, but otherwise, no complaints. The service was great & the food was delicious. Our server helped us make educated decisions, but TBH, I'm not sure we could go wrong here with any choice.
There was a bit of a wait when we arrived, but they have a great system & called within 7 minutes of a 15 minute wait to let us know our table was ready.
I actually liked these guys so much that when I needed a coffee to-go, I popped in for that too. Super friendly staff & they know their coffee & food!
We took our family of four here for breakfast. Two kids two adults. I am an extremely healthy eater & a vegetarian whereas the rest of my family is not.
Finding a restaurant that offers both healthy options & classic breakfast options was wonderful.
We'll start with the kids. They both ordered the pancakes that came with berries on top & they were more than happy.
I, my husband ordered a coffee as well as An omelet with hashbrowns. I suppose I shouldn't call them hashbrowns. They were some sort of delicious fluffy potato thing way better than hashbrowns.
I ordered a cappuccino with soy milk along with a quinoa & veggie bowl. Being able to have quinoa & veg for breakfast made me so unbelievably happy. It set the tone for my whole day.
The servers were lovely, even though they were so busy they didn't forget our table. The atmosphere is really cool. We had no problem getting a table. Everything was great.
We even ordered a chocolate croissant at the end for all of us to take a taste of, & it was so flaky. The dough was perfectly laminated. It was yum.
Great place to come, very welcoming place with excellent ambient music. The coffee taste is superior, the food is exceptional, beyond expectations. The waitress, Kaylee, super sweet, kind, vibrant, & welcoming.
My wife & I spent 5 days in Old Montreal. We came accross Tommy's Cafe. Totally fell in love with this place. Wonderful environment with exceptional staff. Everyone was very friendly & helpful. We ate their 3 different times. My favourite meal was the Bae. I dont eat bread often but made the exception here. So fresh! Please get a cup of coffee, the best. We will return in October during our next visit. Keep up the great work.
