Reviews portray Tommy Café as a stylish, cozy spot with a pleasant vibe and friendly service, where the coffee is often praised and the atmosphere makes it a solid choice for brunch with friends or a study session; several dishes receive compliments, including truffle eggs benedict and lox toast, while other items are described as underwhelming or overcooked and some plates feel bland or portions are small, affecting perceived value; overall the experience is mixed but the cafe remains popular for its ambiance, drinks, and friendly front of house, with service sometimes varying by visit.
Always a quality café. Jack is super enthusiastic & personable. Customer service has taken a hit throughout the last few years so it was really refreshing to have him as a waiter.
The vibes & service aside, which both were great & standard to the tommy chain, the food is disappointing to say the least. I went here a year ago during the winter when it first opened, & the quality DRASTICALLY decreased. Even when we compare it to the location in downtown & old port, it falls short by a lot. To put it into context: the eggs for the avocado toast were clearly not poached, it was boiled. & if that was poached then clearly they don't know the definition of that. the potatoes were so bland, felt like scraps. the salad greens were not fresh & crispy & it was dry. they weren't that generous with their avocado. the toast (burnt) & sausage they used was clearly from costco. like honestly it was nothing that i couldn't do at home. the matcha was basically straight up milk unfortunately. i know what tommy cafe is capable of so i was surprised & disappointed at this location. like obviously it was edible but if ur paying that much, not worth it.
First time visiting & truly a hidden gem at Royalmount. The service was one of the best. Justine specifically went above & beyond. Came here for a business meeting at 8am & the entire group was impressed! Will try the terrace next time!
I love that place. The staff is super friendly even if the service is often slow. But I'm particularly happy about their great kids menu at 10$! Such a nice touch for parents who overpay everything these days. Portion is generous & includes a drink. Please don't stop. Thank you for considering kids.

Had the Tommy latte at Tommy Café & it was absolutely delicious! The coffee was smooth & rich, perfectly balanced with the sweetness from the cereal. Had to get another one right after 😍 The atmosphere was cozy & inviting, & I'll definitely be coming back for more!
This Tommy Café is a must visit whenever you're looking for a food spot in RoyalMount! the atmosphere is nice & the staff are very friendly & attentive. The food was cooked to perfection & the quality was amazing. Not sure what I expected when I arrived but whatever it was, this place fully exceeded them!
