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.
Staff were super friendly, & the coffee & food is great! Got an iced mocha & a brownie. It is a great place for working/studying. Although it was busy, there were some available tables with outlets.
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.
Tommy's has a nice atmosphere good music little corners to sit in, although it's often so busy you have trouble finding a seat. Food is a bit high-priced but it's high quality also & you can find coffees teas drinks & sandwiches pastries.... It's less than a block away from Notre Dame Cathedral & right around the corner from Centaur theater & about three blocks from the old port

Great spot to work from . i got the coby dalad & my wife got an avo toast. scratch made so it take an extra minute or so but so worth the wait. A step above your average coffee shop . highly recommend stopping in for a pick me up & an avocado toast . I will be back .
Honestly we heard a lot about this spot so we checked it out had a salmon bagel & a coffee was delicious but if you're looking for a solid meal go to a food spot this is more for atmosphere & coffee.
Great location to work or relax! I felt welcome to stay & work for the afternoon. no pressure to order more than a coffee & very nice staff. I'll definitely come back!
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.

Coffee was ok; but the barista wouldn't prepare americano in a short cup (says they do not do that here) which I never heard before. Their almond/choco croissant was too sweat but it was not the worst. Nice but a bit overrated
The good thing about this restaurant is that it's located just around the corner from the Notre Dame. The inside is beautiful & the seats are plush. The price is touristy (for two drinks + two sandwiches we paid $60). They've definitely gone for quantity over quality with the portions. The coffee was large but very watered down, I'd rather it was half that size & twice as strong. The sandwiches were not the freshest but not bad. The salad confused me.
Super cute spot! Was excited to have brunch. Ordered 2 brew coffee & was seriously tasted like water. Tried to make it better with sugar amd cream, didnt work at all so asked for latte. Different server wasnt happy with what we have said & we(3 of us) actually felt it. Place wasnt ecen that busy after we got there but my latte & cappucchino arrived after our meal. Our seever who took our ordered never checked on us. Maybe its montreal thing.. Food was decent & loved deco. Its very cute. Washroom is super narrow & not the best one. Had a chance to speak with other guest who is from Ottawa. Said the same thing. They didnt have good service. Too bad. Wont recommend here if you are big for a good service. You wont get it.

The place looks cool & is quite busy. Service at cash is slow, be prepared to wait a while. Employees are nice however. The coffee is really bad though, I was shocked. Tastes burnt & like they need to clean/service their machines. I would recommend something matcha based or without espresso. Didn't have food but it looked tasty.
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.
