Review Summary

Tommy Café draws big crowds and sits in a beautiful historic building in Old Montreal, offering a bright airy interior with three levels and a vibe that is both cozy and vibrant. Ambience and atmosphere are repeatedly praised as major highlights, with warm lighting and a space that feels inviting for both casual meals and work. Coffee and pastries are well liked, and the avocado toast is frequently singled out as among the best, along with other toasts and breakfast croissants. Service is described as friendly and attentive by many, though a few experiences note rush and occasional inconsistency during peak hours. Seating can be challenging, especially for larger groups, and the popularity means lines and bustle are common. Pricing is often described as on the higher side, but many reviewers feel the quality and setting justify the cost. Overall, Tommy Café is seen as a must visit for the ambience, coffee, and casual fare, offering memorable drinks, toasts, and a lively, sometimes busy, atmosphere.

Very cool historic location. Great coffee & breakfast croissant, but ultimately overpriced. Service is fast & efficient. Several seating available but fills up fast especially on weekends.

A lot of stairs in this restaurant. Atmosphere was great as it was in an old building. Price was high as it was located in the old Montreal. We ordered a latte & a macha latte. An almond chocolate croissant & a breakfast croissant. Both croissants were pretty good. The latte was a little weak.

Cute little breakfast spot that's open early. Good chai lattes & food menu is diverse. The almond croissant was great.

Went with mom for breakfast. Highly recommend 💖 Food: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had 2 subside up ( the don't have in menu but kind to make for us.) & super duplex avacado toast. The toast is big for both of us. Matcha latte with oat milk & a coffee come around $42-$45. For 2. Very taste & energetic breakfast Environment: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Cute & tasteful. Check the washroom photo it is spot clean & thoughtful arranged, look how toliet roller hanger is angled shows attention to detail. There are nice couch area for group & a lovely window sitting.

The building makes this cafe jump a level off that bat. The latte was really good, high quality espresso, great art too. I had a breakfast croissant & it was pretty good. They have good wifi & a lot of charm & character with mismatched seats, art work & other decorations.

We stopped by this cafe for breakfast & were very impressed. The food was really good. There was a big queue but it was moving fast. Seating was almost full but we were able to get a spot. The ambience of cafe is beautiful & service is fast. I would recommend going to this cafe.

Great spot to stop for great lattes & breakfast items! It may be challenging to find a place to sit while they are busy, but the coffee & greek avocado toast was delicious ☕️

We have iced coffees & breakfast sandwiches, they were delicious! Nice cosy looking place, quick enough service, just a little pricey. Good vibes.

We went there for breakfast, & the place was busy even on a weekday. Both the coffee & croissant were good, as was the vibe

It is a lovely coffee place. Usually crowded, but it talks by itself. You can have scones, croissants, or healthy breakfast in your little cozy table while surrounded by plants 🪴

Really cool loft style work cafe. Lots of chairs & tables & couches tucked around, so if you don't mind plonking your book or laptop down on the same coffee table as someone else you'll love it. High ceilings & lots of natural light & greenery. Their food menu was great & the breakfast croissant was delicious. The lucky charms latte was cute but too milky & had little flavor.

Has a lovely time here. We were there on Sunday around noon & it was packed. It took awhile to line up but the coffee was quick. You need to find your own seat & it took some time for food to come out but they were super busy. Everything tasted great but the breakfast croissant & salmon avocado toast was amazing. Highly recommend as the atmosphere was great with friendly staff.
