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.
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
If you are looking for a coffee break, maybe in between work or study sessions? Grab a coffee or a matcha at Tommy Café!! You can even splurge yourself to a cookie... I recommend the matcha & white chocolate chip cookie Definitely add to your food list!!! If you have time, check out other reviews on my insta (@lifewithkarbs)
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)

Saturday 15:00 service: 7 people take 10 minutes to be passed at the CASH , kitchen closes at 14:00(no visible notice for the visitors) , I wasn't asked if I want it to go or for here, 3 people behind the bar, takes +- 8 minutes to get a short espresso out.
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!💚💚

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...
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.
Food was okay, but prices were high. Not sure if we caught it on an off day, but the upstairs was kind of dirty. Seats & tables upstairs were broken & the bathroom was a little grimy. Service was very friendly.
