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.
They close the main seating area early without warning & then there's no space to sit & finish your drink/food. I arrived 15 minutes before they closed the upstairs, & they provided no warning as I was checking out. Avoid this cafe if you intend to sit with your food/beverage.
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.

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.

I work downtown & this café has become one of my go-to spots. The coffee is consistently good, the service is friendly, & the vibe is calm enough to take a break or get a bit of work done.
Stopped by this café while visiting downtown Montréal & really enjoyed it. The atmosphere is relaxed & it's a nice break from the busy streets. The coffee was solid & the pastries were fresh. Staff were friendly & helpful, which made the experience even better.
If you're exploring the city & want a comfortable spot to sit with a good coffee, this place is definitely worth a visit.
the loft seating inside is beautiful! the furniture has vintage/ rococo vibes & there's so many spots to sit at! ideal cafe to stop by for some cute pics!
Très bel endroit. Mon fils, qui a pris un thé chai & un biscuit, a été très satisfait. En revanche, moi qui suis une grande admiratrice de cortado, j'ai été très déçue. Mon cortado avait seulement le goût du lait. Pour réussir un cortado, il faut un dosage très précis : certains cafés y arrivent très bien, mais d'autres, c'est un échec. C'est d'ailleurs pour cette raison que j'hésite toujours à en essayer dans de nouveaux cafés. Donc, malheureusement, très déçue cette fois.
