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.
Highly recommend. We had a large order & the staff were polite & gracious, asking about where we visited from. The lattes & sandwiches & pastries were all excellent. Would certainly return here. Thank you Clara for being so kind to us!
This cafe is so cute! Great decor, it made the place feel very cozy & inviting. Friendly staff. We tried the Tommy latte, a regular latte, & the breakfast croissant. Delicious! & can tell the staff enjoy working there!

I visited this location with a friend today, this was our second time here! It is a great place for studying or catching up with friends! Everything was great from the service, ambiance, & music selection! Bonus the staff were extremely accommodating & helpful with restaurant recommendations in the area. Additionally, they let me charge my phone as it was close to dying & I did not have a charger on hand! We ordered: The grill cheese w/ tomato soup Caesar salad Tommy latte Hot chocolate Almond cross ain't Thank you for a great experience!
Service cool ambiance cozy♥️ J'ai pris un croissant aux amandes, avec un café latté glacé. Surtout le croissant c'était vraiment moelleux je vous le recommande
It's our first time visiting Tommy, We have Sandwich, croissant, toast & sweet fix. Also hot chocolate & latte. Not bad & the environment is special, but the seats inside maybe are not enough on weekends. The toast mixed with goat cheese wouldn't smell strong when eating mildly spicy tuna salad together. Tuna salad is a little bit spicy. Whipped cream on sweet toast is really delicious 😊
Super adresse pour bruncher à Montréal ! Ambiance décontracté, attention les places y sont prisées, si vous êtes un groupe cela peut être compliqué de trouver une place.
A lot of stairs in this restaurant. Atmosphere was great as it was in an old building. Price was high as it was located in the old Montreal. We ordered a latte & a macha latte. An almond chocolate croissant & a breakfast croissant. Both croissants were pretty good. The latte was a little weak.
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.
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.

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.
The food is espetacular & the space is beautiful, but I went there twice & these two times I had bad experience with staff. Some were very nice & polite, but others incredibly rude. I suppose it might have a correlation with the lack of tipping & the fact that there is table service. But that is a establishment choice, because I would be happy to tip & always do. Now the rude service is just unacceptable. Now, the food is great & I would recommend the salmon avocado toast, & the iced chai latte.
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.
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.
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
Such an amazing experience from start to finish! The cashier helped us choose our Favourit food as the menu was in French. We had chicken sandwich(not sure of the name on the menu) & ice latte. The coffee taste was also very rich & tasty. Would definitely recommend it to everyone. Also it has a nice design if you want to take pictures as a tourist 😊
