Tommy Café comes across in the reviews as a charming and cozy spot with a friendly, attentive staff and a calm atmosphere that makes it a good place to work or catch up with friends, offering decent value with tasty food and reliable coffee compared with other spots on the Plateau. Patrons praise its variety and welcoming vibe, noting generous portions and dishes that are tasty, while some experiences mention drinks that are lukewarm or too sweet and a limited vegan option. A few comments point to slower or uneven service, occasional order errors, and a setup that places the café beside another restaurant which can affect the ambiance. Overall the impressions lean positive, highlighting enjoyable brunch and coffee moments and a pleasant, unpretentious environment, with some caveats about consistency and value depending on the visit.
Le café (un latte dans mon cas) laisse à désirer. Je ne sais pas si c'est dû au choix des grains, la machine, le moussage du lait ou la technique utilisée mais il y a du travail à faire.
Super ambiance ! Service agréable! Un super décoration qui nous mets dans une ambiance chaleureuse. La cuisine est delicieuse & quelque plat m'ont surpris du très bon côté! Du parfait jamais vue! Très belle expérience.
Les cafés étaient bons. Le serveur était insistant & s'immiscait fréquemment dans notre conversation, par contre sa courtoisie était fort appréciée. L'ambiance est agréable & aérée malgré un éclairage peut-être un peu fort pour une fin d'après-midi.
It is a good place to study. I highly recommend to not go between 6 to closing time because there is a lot of people. It is hard to find space to sit. Overall, the food is good. The staff is very friendly & it is very aesthetic. This coffee shop is located near McGill, so it is the perfect place for people who study in downtown.
I'm giving Tommy Café five stars because the atmosphere is pleasant, the decor is beautiful, the place is spacious, the food is good & the staff are always friendly. My only point is that no café, restaurant, whatever, should serve industrialized boxed juice bought from Walmart. The glass comes with a slice of orange for style, but the juice is clearly from Walmart. It's like going to a pizzeria & being served a frozen supermarket pizza. Price aside, it's honestly preferable not to serve orange juice at all. Or simply serve a homemade orange juice.

The atmosphere is pleasant, & this place is well-decorated, but I can't say the same about the service. I felt the pressure of buying something as the servers were walking around me constantly, & it felt pushy. Hot chocolate didn't taste good; therefore, I don't suggest it.
Above expectations!! I visited this place on Sunday for brunch & we were able to get a table without reservation. The staff was very welcoming, friendly & very polite, they made sure our experience was excellent. The food was really good & same for the coffee. It didn't take a lot of time & it was delicious. It was a snowy day & Christmas vibes in the restaurant made the ambiance very cozy. Would definitely visit again!

I usually go to Tommy's on Notre-Dame, but we decided to try the on Mont-Royal. Firstly, the service was slow as there was only ONE server - felt bad for him. Secondly, the poor guy was overwhelmed & asked us three times to repeat our order. We received our food quickly & it was tasty. Overall, I enjoyed my experience & will definitely return.
I was not sure I wanted to try this place after seeing all the bad reviews, but we eventually caved in after the lineups at the other popular breakfast places were too long!! We figured it couldn’t be that bad, & it wasn’t.
Surprisingly, it was actually better than I expected. The service wasn’t as bad as people said in the comments below. It was a little bit slow considering we were the only people in the restaurant (about 30 min to get our order).
The food was okay, nothing spectacular, but good enough.
All this being said, I would maybe go back if I had no other choice, but it wouldn’t be my first option.
This is my go-to spot to have great coffee & a nice ambiance to work on my computer. The staff are super friendly, the coffee is amazing, & the food is also very good. I especially enjoy the chéri in the morning, & the tre maiale pizza for lunch/dinner.

Every time I have come here in hopes for better service, I am deceived. It is very slow & the staff seem inattentive & to not care about the quality of their service. This place has potential but unfortunately the experience makes the food not worth it.
