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.
I had a great experience at Tommy Cafe! The atmosphere was warm & cozy, perfect for relaxing with a cup of coffee or enjoying a casual meal with friends. The staff were friendly, attentive, & made sure everything was just right.

The service is warm & welcoming from the moment you walk in. Their coffee is top-notch, & the food.. oh the food. We loved every bite! Keep up with the great work ✨
Tommy is a delightful spot in Montreal that truly lives up to its reputation! The food was fantastic-everything was fresh, flavorful, & beautifully presented. Whether you're stopping by for brunch or a quick coffee, you won't be disappointed. The ambience is absolutely lovely, with stunning decor that creates a warm & inviting atmosphere. The combination of chic, modern touches & greenery makes it a perfect place to relax & enjoy your meal. It's definitely a busy spot, but the lively energy adds to the charm. If you don't mind the buzz of a popular cafe, Tommy is a must-visit for anyone in Montreal.
Cozy coffee with tasty food, good coffee & quick service. The ingredients are fresh & flavorful. The presentation of the dishes is very different to the other Tommy Cafés & that is cool. Also the available coffee & drinks are good. Service is good but nothing extraordinary.

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.
We were wandering old town, which is absolutely delightful, & decided to stop for a coffee. We were delighted by this lovely coffee store & their amazing barista. The coffee was amazing & added such a nice touch to our wander. Highly recommend the lattes at Tommy .
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!

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👍
fell in love with this place on our last trip to Montreal! amazing almond croissant & the eggs benedict was wow, loved their avocado on fresh bread, will be our go to when we are back. Staff were so friendly, great coffee with macadamia nut milk. good vegan options! amazing!
I got a latte & a croissant to go before we left the city. The shop is so cute & cozy, & the coffee & pastry were delicious. I don't speak French so was slightly nervous about traveling to Montreal from the customer perspective - but I had to mention that everyone here was SO sweet & welcoming while I ordered & waited despite the cafe being busy.

The croissant was fresh & tasty, but brewed coffee was awful & you are not allowed to get your coffee in a mug or have a plate to eat from if you sit outside!
Great decor lovely old classic ambience . Loved the feel to the cafe a really nice experience. We ordered avocado 🥑 toast which was great the coffee was good but not the best I have had . Recommended for an experience would love to try more of them in the future.
