Tommy Café offers a stylish, cozy downtown vibe with solid coffee and fresh pastries that many reviewers praise, including croissants, cookies, and avocado toast; the atmosphere and decor are described as welcoming and conducive to meetings or a relaxed break; coffee quality varies by drink and time of day, with morning drip praised while some afternoon cups feel burnt or underwhelming; service is friendly but not always fast, and occasional delays are blamed on staff chatting, which may frustrate those in a hurry; seating can be hard to find and the upstairs area is valued by some, with prices sometimes seen as a bit high; overall the place is considered a worthwhile stop for locals and visitors looking for a pleasant cafe experience in Montreal.
Really liked the ambiance inside the cafe, quite cozy. I believe there was an upstairs floor to study & chill so I might try that next time. I got an iced matcha latte with vanilla syrup to go. It was well balanced in sweetness.
Service was fast & the staff there were very friendly & helpful.
Pour les personnes intolerantes au lactose, attention! Si vous commandez une boisson avec un lait sans lactose, ca sera fait avec du lait classique 0%.
Heureusement que j'ai changé mon'lait sans lactose' pour du lait de macadam en dernière minute. D'ailleurs, la barista a gentiment fait ma boisson avec le lait macadam en me disant'ok, mais logiquement c'est un supplément'. A priori, dire qu'ils ne proposent pas de lait sans lactose était également en supplément.
Bref, allez ailleurs. Vous aurez un meilleur service.

I had a really positive experience at TOMMY's Café. I ordered a hot chocolate & a croissant sandwich. Everything looked fresh & beautifully presented.
After taking a few bites of the salad, I realized that the sandwich contained meat, which I hadn't intended to order. It was my mistake for not checking more carefully when placing my order. I went back to confirm with the employee, & she kindly let me know that it did contain meat. I returned to my seat feeling a bit disappointed with myself for not paying closer attention.
A little while later, the staff member who had served me (Gabrielle) noticed I hadn't eaten the sandwich. She came over, kindly asked if I don't eat meat, & immediately offered to replace it with something I could eat, despite it not being her fault at all.
That small gesture truly made my day. It showed genuine care & attentiveness, & it turned what could have been a disappointing moment into something really meaningful.
It's rare to come across that level of kindness & customer service. I truly appreciated the experience & would definitely recommend this café for its outstanding service.
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!💚💚
