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.
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 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.
I highly recommend the spicy tuna sandwiches; they're packed with flavor & spice. The almond croissants are wonderfully flaky & delicious, & the pistachio chocolate croissants are a must-try for anyone with a sweet tooth.
Cool vibe & good coffee. Update: The food quality has taken a dive. Had a croissant that I felt needed a chain saw to eat. The flat white was luke warm. Not impressed.

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.
Americano with milk is way better than latte. The latte does not taste like coffee at all except milk. Croissant is amazing, however I do not like the salmon bagel here at all. Nice place with artistry decor.
It's a lovely spot in Old Montreal with cozy vibes. The food was really good. A bit pricey but worth trying once. Their Almond croissant is great & even the Avocado toast. The place do get full so be prepared to wait but not that long.

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 disappointed in the place. You tip but you serve by yourself going up & down the stair to take your order (drinks). The avocado toasts are tasteless & when I asked to replace I was told I need to pay a difference (I asked to add an egg). I paid $60 for 2 simple toast, 2 coffee & 2 croissants.
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.
Regular coffee nothing special almond chocolate croissant very hard to bite or sliced with knife. Kinda stale & not flaky at all. Very loud & crowded. I would only recommend to go not peak hours to take photos because it’s very nice interior & vibe
Très bon café dans le centre de Montréal, situé dans un ancien bâtiment, personnel sympathique & bilingue, les croissants fantastiques si ce n'est meilleurs qu'en France. Bon café, bien dosé & de qualité. Excellent brownie, le meilleur que je n'ai jamais eu, léger, pas trop sucré, avec un vrai goût de noix!
