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.
lieu joli mais cuisine sans aucun intérêt : ni dans l'originalité ni dans la qualité des produits
salade végé avec guacamole en boîte, 3 mini falafels & surtout des feuilles de salade…
jus d'orange bas de gamme servi au verre au prix d'une orange pressée
bref une arnaque
I saw the review written by a Mr Felipe. I was seated just two tables away from this situation & can't let the record be distorted. When it comes to allergies, dietary restrictions or medical conditions like celiac disease, it is always the customer's responsibility to clearly & explicitly communicate this every single time they order. Asking for'gluten-free bread' without stating a gluten allergy, dietary restriction or celiac condition does not automatically communicate the seriousness of the requirement.
My own mother is celiac, & whenever she eats out, she repeats herself clearly & deliberately, because she understands how critical that communication is. That is not negligence on the restaurant's part; it's basic responsibility on the guest's.
I've eaten here many times meals & coffee & it's consistently been a great experience. It's genuinely disappointing to see a place's reputation challenged over a misunderstanding that could have been avoided with proper communication. Situations like this only hurt staff who take pride in their work.

They keep showing minimum 18% tip
Una opción de desayuno / brunch excelente, el precio por platillo está entre $20 y 25 y las bebidas entre $5 y $10, el sabor es muy bueno y las porciones son adecuadas, 100% recomendado
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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Two sunny eggs, a perfectly browned sausage, crispy potatoes, & hearty multigrain toast. Simple, comforting, & exactly the kind of plate that makes you slow down & enjoy the morning.
Looking for some vegetarian budget friendly large meal sized options with a great ambience ? This is the place. Loved it! The staff was very friendly as well!
Tommy Cafe served us the hardest & driest falafel balls ever created by man. The quality of the French toast & eggs went down dramatically as compared to a few years ago. Sadly, we will not be returning for another meal.
