Review Summary

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.

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.

Long attente pour un café glacé vraiment boffff & avec un prix assez élevé, assez décevant Par contre le décor est super jolie mais la place est vraiment bondé

Very small & charming cafe with fast wifi. We tried the matcha latte & the chai latte which honestly weren't very good. Too milky, but the vibes of the place made up for it

Mon expérience chez Tommy Café pour le brunch a été absolument parfaite. L'ambiance était détendue & invitante, avec une décoration charmante qui ajoutait à l'atmosphère conviviale. Le menu du brunch était varié & alléchant, avec des options pour tous les goûts. J'ai été particulièrement impressionné par la fraîcheur & la qualité des ingrédients utilisés dans chaque plat. Les oeufs bénédictines étaient parfaitement pochés, les pancakes étaient moelleux à souhait & le café était délicieux. Le service était également impeccable, avec un personnel attentif & sympathique. Je recommande vivement Tommy Café à tous ceux qui recherchent une expérience de brunch exceptionnelle. C'est certainement un endroit où je reviendrai avec plaisir!

The ambience looks really good, very well furnished. The service staff was very nice, but the café was not a professional barista. I really didn't like the coffee at all.

Le café est beau, endroit agréable pour y aller entre amis ou seul, par contre difficile de trouver des places & les espaces sont vraiment collés les uns avec les autres. Côté nourriture c'est vraiment cher pour rien. Juste un avocatoast 20$, en plus qu'il goutais juste le sel. Donc vraiment il y a mieux comme endroit pour aller profiter d'un plat simple :

Cute & cozy cafe that makes very good coffee steps away from the Notre Dame Cathedral. It can get packed, but there are barstools by the windows where one can relax & sip drinks in peace while people-watching

Super café mais souvent plein. Pour y aller, il faut être prêt à attendre quelques minutes

Tommy café is obviously a must if you are in Montreal. The place is gorgeous, the coffee tastes wonderful & the service is good. I'd say the only inconvenient is that it is a well-known place so it is often packed. I strongly recommend the avocado toast. They use thick slices of good quality bread, & the avocado is not over seasoned.

Randomly got around the city & surprisingly found this cafe. I was so curious about macadamia latte since I had never seen. It was more smooth than what I thought. Worked well with espresso! The cafe provided spacious seating space. A good place to have a sip of coffee & study or work.

Tommy Café near Notre-Dame Cathedral in Montreal. Because waiting for the lighting show have to go outdoor at least half an hour,so the staff at the church tell me can coming to Tommy have a nice cup of tea,so here I am. The unexpected kindness came from the staff, especially the helpful waiter who allowed me to charge my apple magsafe battery,reflects the friendly atmosphere. Montreal has left me with positive impressions of its people & places. Realy enjoy my time exploring the city!

Trendy café with delicious salmon bagel & chai latte! It's a very cute & busy cafe but we didn't have to wait long for a table to open up for brunch on a Thursday. Staff were very kind, the only reason I put a four star was because one of our dishes came out much later than the other persons despite ordering right after one another. Other than that I really loved the cafe & the food

It is a beautiful café in British Empire Building. The surface is limited & it is so loud! I don't recommend it for business meetings. I was a little bit disappointed. I had Macchiato & it wasn't really what I wanted.

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.

Ce café est clairement un incontournable du Vieux Montréal. Le lieu est juste incroyable avec l'architecture d'inspiration française avec les moulures au plafond. Les pâtisseries sont bonnes & peuvent être dégustées dans des canapés. En revanche, le café n'est clairement pas le meilleur que vous puissiez trouver. Les gens y vont davantage pour l'ambiance que pour les consommations. Par conséquent, les places assises sont souvent complètes donc il faut choisir une heure stratégique ou attendre un peu que certaines se libèrent.
