Tommy Café is described as a cozy, stylish spot with a calm atmosphere that suits brunch with friends or a quiet coffee and study session. The vibe is welcoming with friendly and attentive service that many reviews praise, though a few experiences note slow or inconsistent service. The coffee receives praise for being rich and smooth, with standouts like pistachio cortado, flat white, blue latte, and a latte with cereal sweetness, while a cappuccino is occasionally described as subpar. Food opinions are mixed but generally positive for items such as avocado toast, lox toast, shakshouka, and other brunch plates, while some dishes such as eggs benedict or pancakes are criticized for overcooked eggs, bland potatoes, or reheated elements. The location inside a mall features bright decor with greenery and a modern design, and free parking is mentioned as a plus. Overall this place is seen as a dependable option for breakfast or brunch with friends, offering a consistently good atmosphere and service, with some fluctuations in food quality.
I was so looking forward to this place but was very underwhelmed & disappointed. We (3 people) arrived Sunday morning at 10:30 AM & it was empty so we were quickly seated & offered menus. Waitress came pretty fast to take our coffee orders, I had a cappuccino & it was very good. While the waitress was taking our food orders, a table of 2 guys were seated next to us & not sure why but they received their orders before us. By 11:15ish it was pretty packed. I had french toast & all 3 pieces unfortunately were overcooked & the corner pieces were burnt. Another thing, all 3 of our water glasses tasted bizarre…like if the glasses weren't cleaned properly. Unfortunately I don't see what the big fuss is about. Nothing special about this place. Not worth it to go out of my way to get coffee/breakfast here.

Super endroit ! L'ambiance est chaleureuse & le décor est trop mignon. Le service est impacable, les employés sont très courtois & souriants. Le café & la nourriture sont délicieux & le gâteau au fromage est juste wow 😍
The atmosphere at the cafe is very calm & peaceful. The staff here are remarkably amiable & genial; their kindness made our entire visit. & they are very friendly with kids too. The coffee is good. At 5$ this coffee is in the sweet spot for value.
Overall, it's definitely a very good choice for breakfast / brunch with family & friends.
Amazing food & atmosphere. Perfect after a day of shopping! The servers were courteous & could help you make choices regarding the menu. Would highly recommend !
Very disappointed with my experience. The first time I went, it was packed, & service was so quick & so good. I went this morning, probably 15 to 20 minutes after it opened, we were only two people in there & no service. Took almost 10 minutes for the waiter to come take our order for coffees, & did not come back for our food order. 15 minutes later & he did not even look up from the counter. We got our coffee & left to eat elsewhere.
I am a big cappuccino lover & had high hopes coming here. However, I was disappointed: the cappuccino was subpar, the cup filled 2/3, almost no foam, & it had a weird taste, as if they used a flavoured vegetal milk (which I didn't ask for), instead of regular cow milk.
Absolutely loved my experience at Tommy Café Royalmount! The atmosphere is stylish yet cozy, perfect for studying, working, or catching up with friends. The coffee was excellent-rich, smooth, & perfectly made-& the staff were incredibly friendly & welcoming. Everything from the service to the vibe makes you want to come back again. Definitely one of my new favorite café spots in Montreal!
Such a great brunch & coffee spot! The atmosphere is cozy & welcoming, perfect for catching up with friends or enjoying a relaxed morning. The staff were also super kind & attentive, which made the experience even better. I'll definitely be coming back & recommending this place to others!
