Very disappointed with this place. We came because of their good reviews but were shocked that they make their pancakes by warming up frozen pancakes from a plastic bag (think eggo) & the service was extremely poor. One extra star for their creative menu & food presentation.

The best breakfast I've had in Montreal.

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.

We will be back for sure!

We had breakfast here & unfortunately it wasn't a pleasant experience. The high chair for babies hasn't been cleaned or wiped in years & had food stuck on it everywhere. We had to clean it thoroughly ourselves since we did not want to get our child sick. We ordered pancakes & the cali Benedict. The pancakes were tough & hard & just not fluffy. The eggs in the Benedict were not poached, & instead the yolk was boiled. Overall a sub-par experience.

Came here for breakfast on a weekday & we were so glad we got a table. The staff was amazing & the decor felt very eccentric. All the food tasted delicious & I especially loved the lavender latte. Highly recommend visiting Tommy Café!
