Review Summary

Tommy Café is widely celebrated for its stunning architecture and inviting, cozy atmosphere situated in the heart of Old Montreal, making it a popular destination for both locals and tourists. Many visitors praise the high quality of the coffee, particularly the lattes and espresso-based drinks, alongside a variety of fresh pastries and flavorful brunch options like avocado toast. While the unique, multi-level seating and vibrant decor contribute to an aesthetic experience, the cafe is frequently very busy, which can lead to limited seating and wait times. Opinions on the service and food consistency remain mixed, as some guests appreciate the friendly and accommodating staff, while others find the pricing high and the environment crowded. Ultimately, it remains a go-to spot for those seeking a memorable cafe experience in a beautiful historic setting.

Great all round but very busy so try to grab a table but be prepared to wait for a bit.
Food was great & drinks were lovely.

Stopped in here last Saturday afternoon after wandering around the Plateau & I'm so glad I did. The cortado was honestly one of the best I've had, & the staff were super friendly even though it was pretty busy. As someone visiting from Ontario, I wasn't expecting such a cozy, laid-back vibe - it felt like a neighbourhood spot that locals actually love. Definitely coming back next time I'm in Montreal.

Tommy Café is one of the most aesthetic & cozy cafés in Montreal. The design is stunning-white marble, greenery, & natural light that makes it feel calm yet upscale. It's perfect for brunch, coffee dates, or getting work done in a beautiful setting. The coffee is consistently good, & the pastries are fresh & well-made. It can get busy, so seating isn't always easy, but the vibe & atmosphere make it worth the wait.

Stumbled upon this gem during f1 weekend 2026. We needed coffee & this sounded nice but not nearly as nice as we expected. Small inside but offer a large personality from the decor to the staff & the food. The food, I order the shakshuka which im familiar with but never tried before. INCREDIBLE 10/10 roasted red pepper sauce was full of flavor & eggs cooked to perfection, only recommendation is order & extra side of toast. My party also tried the Georgia toast AMAZING sweet roasted peaches, tange creamy goat cheese with the sweet heat from the hot honey. The addition of homemade chili oil was a great touch. The drinks SENSATIONAL! Ordered espresso martinis & its hands down the best one I have ever had, strong espresso flavor perfected sweetness with a cinnamon decoration on top added the scent of cinnamon without being overpowering. Finally the staff, during the crazy busy f1 weekend people in & out the staff handled everything very well even with people waiting out the door the kitchen was keeping up & wait times were perfectly reasonable. Aidan was our server & was amazingly kind & helpful throughout our experience.

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.
