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.
I visit this cafe most Saturday morning on my way to work, mainly for convenience. Unfortunately, the coffee isn't great. On the bright side, their bakery goods are made fresh daily. However, the service for takeout orders is quite slow. Overall, it's an odd place with some room for improvement.
Em vaig quedar a Mont-real durant 3 dies i cada dia de la meva estada, vaig esmorça a Tommy. El cafè és molt bo, els croissants estan acabats de fer, a mes els sortits en advocats son boníssim. El personal molt atent i serviçial. L'interior i la vista del cafè són estètics. Val la pena!!

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.
Just tried Tommy Cafe for the first time & I'll undoubtedly be going back, it was fantastic! I ordered the Athene toast tada! & it was delicious, a definite upgrade to the regular avocado toast. It was topped with tomatoes, olives, pickled red onion, feta & the spiralized cucumbers all atop the perfectly toasted bread. Add that little squeeze of lemon for added freshness! The bright pink smoothie was so delicious too. But please do not leave without trying the pistachio croissant, it is the best in the city! I'm still dreaming of it! Can't wait to go back & try more!
The place is super adorable with the most beautiful couches. Their "small" hot chocolate is HUGE. It's also very yummy. It's a great spot for meeting up with someone or getting some work done in a nice environment.
One of the tuna sandwiches was not wrapped & was open (which is a health hazard), they were out of drinks that were on the menu, no napkins, decor had dust on it & the service was lacking. Never coming here again.

Tommy Coffee in Montreal impresses with its trendy, clean aesthetic & a cozy atmosphere that makes it a delightful spot for grab your morning coffee & if you're looking for something stronger they also have a bar. The coffee is reasonably priced & tastes great, making it a good choice for both casual sippers & serious coffee drinkers. However, the use of individual milk & cream cup lets instead of proper containers is a downside, as it feels wasteful. On a positive note, their loyalty card offers a fantastic perk: buy 10 coffees, get two free!
