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.
Ordered Tommy late, mochaccino, bagel with cream cheese & almond croissant.
Loved mocha & bagel was also nice , but I had more expectations from Tommy Latte. Tommy latte is just cereals served with coffee & didn't taste that great, almond croissant was average. Overall, service was good
This place is so cute & the sandwiches were delicious! The gluten free bread was also quite good & they were very accommodating of allergies. Staff were very friendly & my latte was perfect :)
Vraiment bon, le bénédictine au truffle était excellent. Les patates déjeuners qui vienne avec sont parmi les meilleurs que j'ai mangé dans une place de déjeuner & font différentes aussi. Par contre, je peux pas dire que j'ai trippé sur le latté bleu glacé, c'était très doux niveau goût, au point que ça goûtait pas grand chose en fait. Le latté à la lavande était très bon par contre.
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 came for brunch around 9:30am. There was a short 2 min wait as the table cleared. We ordered drinks & the s'mores waffle, Greek omelet, & an eggs Benedict. The portions were generously large, food tasted great. Service was a wee bit slow but still attentive. Would come back!

It was a Saturday afternoon so it was quite buzzing
We loved this spot for brunch! We were staying in Montreal for the weekend & after discovering it, we went back a second time the next morning. Service was wonderful & the baristas know what they're doing! The food was high quality & delicious. I had the Lyla Fizz & a matcha latte to drink & both were incredible! I loved the decor & felt like we were transported into a tropical destination. The cafe was tight on space but wasn't a problem for us. Thank you Tommy Cafe for starting our mornings off right!
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!

Everything was amazing, especially the coffees & the service). 2 food standouts, Lucky Charms latte & Lox bagel. Everything was so delicious, Peter (owner) was very personable & charming. He gave us good recommendations on what to do in the city.
Une expérience incroyable !
Foncez les yeux fermés, vous ne serez pas déçus.
L'accueil a été chaleureux & le service vraiment agréable du début à la fin. Mention spéciale pour le personnel, attentionné & souriant.
& que dire du plat ? J'ai opté pour la Bénédicte à la truffe : un vrai délice ! C'est généreux, parfaitement équilibré, avec une dose de truffe bien maîtrisée. Le pain est tout simplement exceptionnel.
Une adresse à ne pas manquer, j'y reviendrai sans hésiter !
Such a lovely place for brunch, delicious food & great ambiance & our waitress Kaylee (sp?) was amazing, so friendly & attentive & very genuine. Would highly recommend!
