Tommy Café is described in reviews as a vibrant, photogenic spot in a historic building with a warm, multi level vibe and solid coffee and pastries. The atmosphere is praised for being cozy and versatile for work, brunch, or a casual hangout, though it can be crowded and seating can be hard to find and prices sometimes feel high for what is offered. Patrons frequently highlight avocado toast, croissants, and lattes, with matcha receiving mixed notes, and the location attracts locals and visitors who often queue but keep returning for the ambiance and quality.
The vibe inside was great. I only had a matcha latte with caramel syrup & it was alright, nothing to rave about. I hope to try new menu items next time I'm in the area!
A fabulous location for a Tommy's franchise in Montreal. Housed in a former bank building constructed in the early 20th century, it has architectural panache & is a gathering place for students & others in Old Montreal. Great coffee too, ana within walking distance of the Notre Dame Bassilica.

Stumbled upon Tommy Café during my first trip to Montreal last Saturday afternoon & honestly couldn't have picked a better spot to escape the cold. The latte was some of the best I've had - smooth, not bitter, & the barista clearly knew what they were doing. The space itself has this cozy exposed-brick vibe that made me want to linger way longer than planned. If you're visiting from out of town, do yourself a favour & skip the chain spots - this is the kind of place that makes you wish you lived around the corner.
Bon service, bon plat
Mais honnêtement l'odeur de friture en sortant est insoutenable..
Je vais devoir changer de vêtement car j'ai toute la carte qui émane de ma tenue..
je sens encore plus la nourriture que la sueur c'est du jamais vu
Je voulais y aller, car j'ai vu un bon nombre d'avis positif & ça m'a intrigué. Arrivé sur place, la première chose qui saute aux yeux est l'architecture de la place & il faut être honnête, c'est très beau. Il ont bien utilisé l'espace qu'ils avaient, sur trois niveaux d'ailleurs, & la décoration est belle. Le staff était gentil & souriant, ça fait toujours plaisir! Merci à eux pour leur service! Pour ce qui est de la bouffe, j'ai pris un café latte & un bagel. C'était bien, la qualité est de la partie. Bref, c'est simple & efficace. Bravo pour ça aussi!
Malheureusement, je dois aller droit au but: le prix. Un bagel & un café ne devrait pas coûter presque 30$. Les prix sont évidemment gonflés à cause de l'emplacement & du tourisme dans la région, mais tout de même, c'est trop cher payé.
Je pense que ça reste un endroit à essayer juste pour l'expérience, mais je ne me vois pas y retourner d'ici peu, car je ne pense pas être le public cible.
Beautiful cafe with loads of comfortable seating options. The service was very kind & accommodating even during busy times. The avocado toasts are delicious & HUGE. Very easily shareable item. The bread they used was soft yet structured with the perfect amount of grill.
Tommy's was our'go to' breakfast & brunch place during our stay in Old Montreal. Delicious food options for young children & adults, cool ambiance & friendly service. Be prepared for a short wait on weekends as it does seem to get extra busy.

This cafe is very very nice on the inside, I highly recommend studying here or having breakfast here because it is very lovely & busy! Their ice latte is sooo good, it's not bitter & it's sweet! The avocado toast is very big, I recommend that if you come in pairs to share it with one person, it's also quite bland, but it's a light & good breakfast to start your day with. The croissant egg avocado is yummy, & I liked the garden salad that came with it! The croissant adds flavour to the dish.
