Overall, reviews paint Tommy Café as a stylish, cozy spot with a lively yet relaxed vibe and a solid coffee program. Morning drip coffee is praised, while some note afternoon batches can be burnt, and the cappuccino is described as rich with milk, with a cheaper cortado option. Pastries and food get strong marks, including croissants, pistachio croissants, mango or matcha items, but some dishes can be hit or miss and a few items are considered pricey. The ambience and decor are repeatedly highlighted as attractive, with seating options and a friendly, attentive staff, though service times vary and there are comments about slow orders when staff chat in another language. The cafe is seen as a good place to meet friends, work or relax, with many noting it as a regular spot, and some mention the upstairs seating or the cute vibe. A few reviews mention value concerns, like high prices for avocado toast or plant based milks surcharge, but many still recommend visiting for the overall experience. It's described as a dependable option downtown Montreal and a reliable choice for coffee and casual bites with consistent quality, though comparisons to other spots vary.
I've been several times to this location.
Their drip coffee early in the morning is better; their afternoon one is burnt, disgusting & therefore not worth your money.
Their Cappuccino is really good if you like a lot of milk. If not your best option is a Cortado which has the same two espresso shots but less milk & I believe is cheaper.
The vibe of the place is nice, nice decoration, great playlists but service is not the greatest. The staff takes a lot of time preparing orders & what is disappointing is to see that whats slows them is the fact they are chitchatting in Portuguese…if you are in a rush maybe considering going elsewhere.
Nice café! They didn't have bagel with cream cheese, but the latte was good & the croissant was fresh. Recently I went there again & the lavender latte was well made, though a bit too sweet for my taste. The framboise cookie was also tasty.
Great place to check it out when visiting Montreal! Gabriel & Wallace were just so sweet, & helpful! I had a great time meeting my friend there! Would love to come back in the summer, & check it out again! I bought beans & a hoodie too!
Cute place to sip tea, coffee, or cocktails with friends. Friendly service.
Just ate a small piece of cake called dulce de leche , & it was so-so.
Overall not WAW but okay.
Cute place

Tommy Café is a really cute. Loved the vibe. We went there for breakfast & had a good experience. A bit pricey place, but the atmosphere was nice & cozy, & the service was good. Overall, it was a pleasant spot to start the day. All for $75.
Terrible experience with food & waitresses! First time I go (I ask for gluten free & no bacon) & guess what (both requests are forgotten). I threw up the whole plate & requested a new one. While that was given, I didn't like the attitude of the staff & their'non chalent approach'. An allergy or a food restriction IS to be taken seriously. I was getting sick … It would've been really bad for me! & like what's their answer'nothing'!!!! I am celiac so you can only imagine!!!!!!!! What a terrible terrible service! They put people's life at stake!
