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.
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.

I recently went for a business meeting & had a great experience. The coffee was excellent, the decor was beautiful & the food was amazing. The service was friendly & attentive, which made the whole visit even better. Highly recommend.10/10
Cher pour ce que c'est. J'ai pris le bagel saumon fumé avec le smoothie du jour. Très déçu par celui-ci. Il avait une couleur radioactive, mais ne goûter en aucun cas les fruits. On ne pouvait goûter que le lait. Pour 10$ je m'attendais à un truc meilleur. Pour les deux j'en ai eu pour 40$.
I tried their chai latte & a pastry, & really enjoyed both! It's a bit pricey, but still worth it. It's hard to find a table though, so be mindful if you're planning to work/study!
I asked my coffee to go & they gave it to me sur place. Besides the cafe was not even full & they were way behind on the orders. The barista was sneezing a lot over the coffees she was making at the time ( disgusting) Also they over charge for a simple latte . This place is overrated. There are better coffee places indeed & at least the price is worthy. Good music at the site.

Le Tommy Café sur McGill est un vrai petit bijou. L'endroit est magnifique, avec une déco élégante, des plantes partout, & une ambiance à la fois chill & trendy. Parfait pour travailler, jaser entre amis ou simplement savourer un bon café.
J'ai pris un latte - délicieux, bien balancé & servi avec soin. Le personnel est accueillant & souriant, ce qui rend l'expérience encore plus agréable. Un incontournable à Montréal pour les amateurs de bons cafés dans un cadre esthétique.
Lattes tasted just the milk no smell of taste of coffee
Tiramisu was below average
Ive been to other tommy cafes & this one doesn't hold the same standards
Excellent food & coffee. Plenty of space to read, meet with friends, or have a quick bite. My recommendations are the lavender latte, chia pudding & bagel with lox.

Nice corner in downtown this café is located. Good service. Vibe is nice. My latte is excellent. Avocado toast is good too. The big downside is the price is over expensive. A total rip off. An avocado toast for 20$??? Seriously? It is better to make my own toast at home.
J'adore le café de chez Tommy, mais quand j'ai demandé un Petit latte 5$ on m'a dit qu'ils avaient seulement les formats Médium 5,50$. Sachant que j'avais demandé mes choses pour les déguster sur place, je ne comprend pas pourquoi je ne pouvais avoir mon latte Petit à 5$. Retirez le de votre menu si vous ne pouvez pas l'offrir. Merci.
Their signature cereal latte is very special… i didn't like it tbh… the chocolate cookie was okay. The line up was long so if you are on rush please go to grab your coffee to other store
Cereals in latte Whoaa it was interesting. The avocado toast was surprisingly good. The portion was huge too (twice the size of an average toronto avocado toast)

Tommy Cafe is such a gem! The carrot cake was absolutely delicious & fluffy - so fresh & perfectly sweet. The brownie was rich, chocolatey, & super yummy. & the lattes were just perfect! The whole vibe of the place was so calm & chill, making it ideal for catching up with my friend. We could just relax & chat, & it felt like hanging out at home. The cozy ambiance, paired with a lovely view, made it a memorable visit. I'd totally recommend Tommy Cafe for anyone looking for a cozy spot with amazing treats!💚💚
Le chaï latte est très bon ! Le service est très bien aussi ! Je déconseille les pâtisseries italiennes qui sont assez sèches ! Par contre les cookies & cakes sont assez généreux & bon! Les prix sont néanmoins très élevés ! C'est dommage !
Le cadre est sympathique, les prix sont quelque peu élevés. Le service est moyen, les personnes qui y travaillent discutaient & rigolaient entre eux, & faisaient attendre les clients avant de prendre les commandes.
