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.
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!
J'habite au Brésil , & quand je vais à Montréal , je choisi toujours aller au Tommy. J'adore la nourriture & le gens que nous reçoivent avec un grand sourire!!! Si il y a quelqu'un que n'a jamais été à ce lieu, je vous conseille de connaître. Mes félicitations à tous que font partie à ce café!!!

Je recommande fortement ! L'ambiance est très chaleureuse & l'emplacement est idéale ! La nourriture est succulente & je recommande fortement le « Gobble » ! Le café mérite le détour !
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 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.
