Absolutely loved Tommy Café!
The atmosphere is beautiful - the historic building & cozy multi-level design make it such a special spot. The coffee was excellent & the food was delicious.
What really stood out was the staff - they were incredibly friendly, welcoming, & attentive the whole time. They made the experience even better.
Highly recommend! I'll definitely be back.
I was looking for a good coffee place to work, & I found Tommy Cafe. The interior design was so interesting & unique, I am in love with their design, the decoration & the different seat positions. I ordered a matcha latte, & it was a BIG glass, so it is sure to fill my craving. If you are looking for a workplace with blend of Historical Old Porte style & a touch of unique quirkiness of Montreal, you will find it here.
I've been here twice recently. Once I had an iced latte with an amandine, & it was delicious. I also tried a sandwich, which was good but nothing special. The café itself is beautiful & has a lovely atmosphere.

The place looks really cool & promising, we ordered two iced drink to be told after 26 minutes of waiting that the drink we ordered couldn't be made cold cause they had no more ice.. no explanation or apology given, just a shaken cashier trying to lie that they told us not to be reprimanded by whoever was in charge..
All we wanted was an iced latte, shouldn't be rocket science to tell someone they don't have any cause they ran out of ice
Young Aaron (but spelled differently, he wouldn't explain lol) was a great host in a bustling vibe of a great spot. Open windows out onto the cobble stone street & the world walking by was a wonderful way to dip our toes into the Old Montreal scene. We didn't realize until later that there were other Tommy Cafe's in town, but it didn't matter, this one felt like it was part of the history right there!
Everyone but me started with an iced Chai latte & they raved about them. I (being after lunch) started with their spicy bloody ceasar yum. I had the aurora bagel I think it was called, salmon on a perfect bed of cream cheese & an awesome Montreal bagel! My friend had the chicken & avo sandwich which he said was fresh & perfect & my kid swapped with me for half an avo sandwich. Every bite was delish. Walk the strip, then come back for a beer & bite in this fun little shop.
Love visiting this cafe whenever I'm Montreal. It's a funky, friendly, cool vibe place with great coffee & food options. I had the breakfast croissant & latte that were so good. There's a loft seating area & tiered levels that makes it unique.
Tommy Café in Montreal has a great atmosphere & is in a fantastic location. I tried both the matcha latte & a regular latte. The regular latte was good, while the matcha latte could have been a bit better. Overall, the place is beautiful, the vibes are nice, & the staff were friendly & welcoming. A great spot to relax & enjoy a coffee.
Really impressive inviting & warm modern decor for a cafe, with funky staggered layered seating that works. I also found the corner stair entrance in a Victorian building charming architecture. I don't usually comment much on decor, but for a cafe atmosphere this location is stand-out.
The almond pastry & beef sandwich with side salad were high quality & fresh, as well as a fresh iced mango drink & iced latte. My only nitpick is that I wish they gave nicer cups for the iced drinks. Overall, a memorable cafe & excellent choice.
