Review Summary

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.

I judge a Tommy Cafe by how well they prepare the Lox (avocado toast with salmon, & I add an egg). Based on that metric, this one passes. It was good, but I would've liked more onions, capers, & seasoning. Bread held when picked up. Points on presentation. Non-Lox: staff is friendly, but not personable like I've experienced at other cafes, including other Tommy's. Service time was reasonable. Space has some seating, not a lot; tables were shared between different parties. Decor has some charm;'still far from Old MTL OG. My only real gripe with the Tommy spawns: no cold brew or iced coffee (Iced Americano isn't the same... it's warm-to-lukewarm watery coffee with rapidly melting ice). Why do they do this to the gays? Tsk, tsk...

Pros: multi grain bread is delicious. Sandwich portions are generous. Coffee is good. Seating both downstairs & upstairs. Clean bathroom with no code/key. Near many shops. Cons: food took a while to make. Limited seating during busy time. Heat was on on a warm day.

A cute cafe with seating outside, inside & upstairs! Both drinks were tasty. A nice place to relax or people watch! We could see they were baking more croissants so it smelled really nice.

Amazing coffee, customizable to your liking. Spinach & ricotta pastry is delicious. There is a nice seating area in the second floor.
