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.

Tommy Cafe, located super close to the heart of Old Montreal, is an absolute gem! The cozy European vibe instantly sets the perfect atmosphere for a relaxing meal. We had the Lox Avotoast with smoked salmon & the Greek Feta Avotoast, & both dishes were simply delicious. The multigrain bread was fresh, & the combination of flavors was spot on, from the creamy avocado to the tangy pickled onions & the savory toppings. Every bite was bursting with flavor! If you're in the area, this is a must-stop! The welcoming ambiance, paired with the rich flavors of their dishes, makes for an unforgettable cafe experience. Highly recommend tasting what this place has to offer! That should highlight your great experience while enjoying those dishes!
The ambiance of the cafe was fantastic, & there was ample seating available. The coffee was enjoyable, but the pistachio & almond croissant were just average & didn't live up to the hype.
Had the winner winner chicken dinner sandwich that comes on ciabatta bread & a side salad. Salad dressing was very good & the sandwich was delicious. Some of the tables were quite small & felt a bit cramped. Layout was unique & they had a number of couches on the second floor. Overall it is a nice little cafe with good food & drinks.
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.
A beautiful two-level cafe with plants & opulent details on the wall. Photos don't do it justice, you have to visit to see it in person. Really cute hangout spot. Decent coffee too. Expect long lines!

Super beau mais la nourriture n'a aucun goût. Je crois que je n'ai jamais mangé quelque chose avec aussi peu de saveur avant. La toast avocat avec bocconcini & tomates était particulièrement triste. Vraiment aucun goût & pourtant si chère! Nous avons commandé 2 cafés tommy (lucky charms), c'était très sucré, mais bon! Sinon, pour manger nous avons pris la toast avocat tomate bocconcini & le croissant déjeuner qui étaient tous les deux très décevants. Environ 60$ au total & ça n'en vallait vraiment pas le coût.
Café & dessert très bon Le service pas top. 3-4 serveuses sont derriere le bar & ne font pas toutes quelque chose. On nous appelle pour aller chercher notre café. Ca aurait été bien qu'ils nous le ramène malgré que certaines dames restaient les bras croisés. Certains endroits ne sont pas très propre, y compris les tables
Poor cafe experience & atmosphere. Staff are rude & ignorant. Came in for a quick coffee, was standing in line with a gentleman in front of me for several minutes with no one taking orders at the take out counter. Suddenly two girls come & line up beside us & the server appears to take their order & ignores us. The gentleman & I politely inform her that we had actually been waiting a while already to order. She looked quite annoyed, & began taking his order (one pastry) & mine, 2 lattes. The girls who came after then ordered. Both of their drinks come out before either my self or the gentleman's orders, which was evidently on purpose as neither employee would look at myself or the gentleman. While waiting on the side (there is NO WHERE) to stand as the cafe is at the back of the restaurant. A kitchen employee comes out & is upset I'm standing in a nook near a garbage can, rolls his eyes, & bumps in to me several times. Another girl waits in the same spot after I move & he repeats the same thing with her. Would not return.
A must visit for a Montreal cafe. It's next to the old port along with the notre dame. Atmosphere is cozy & busy throughout the day. Good food overall with a great place to take photos.
I recently visited Tommy Cafe & I was thoroughly impressed by their offerings & ambiance, though there was a slight hiccup with the timing of the service. We ordered a delectable chocolate almond pain au chocolat paired with coffee, & a savory chicken avocado toast among other items for a group of six. Each dish was prepared to perfection, highlighting the quality ingredients & skillful preparation. The service was commendable with attentive & friendly staff. However, there was a minor issue with the timing as our coffees were served well before the food, & unfortunately, they cooled down by the time our meals were ready. This didn't overshadow the overall experience, but it's something that could be tweaked for a flawless dining experience. The cafe itself boasts a cozy & beautifully decorated interior that adds to the charm & makes it a great spot for gatherings or a quiet coffee. It's a place I would definitely recommend & revisit, hoping for a little more synchronization between the kitchen & the barista next time
Une expérience, l'endroit est plus que charmant & nous met en admiration devant ce décor riche en architecture. Le café est savoureux & l'ambiance enveloppante. À voir!
Fantastic food & coffee served here. Both the chicken & salmon avotoast were delicious, & came in big portions so you get your money's worth. The desserts were also tasty. The cafe itself is located in arguably one of the nicest buildings I have ever visited for a cafe. The decor & ambience are top notch! It may be difficult to find seating if you get there after 9AM as the cafe fills up quickly.
