Review Summary

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Josianne was exceptional today. Attentive & kind & always checking in on us. Usually Guillermo is my server & he also always provides a lovely experience.

Super cuisine, le sandwich poulet avec le guacamol qui est particulièrement relevé.
Attention par contre il y a souvent beaucoup de monde & donc assez peu de places assises.

Very busy place so be prepared to wait a bit! We had the avo on sourdough & a latte & both were great. Will be back.

The latte i got wasn’t very good, on top of that its 1$+ for any milk alternatives & 1$+ to make it iced, I ended up spending 8.5$ on something that didn’t taste good :/ . Aside from that, the staff is friendly & service is quick, ambience is great. Place is packed but it makes it have an enjoyable, cozy atmosphere. Just very disappointed with the price & quality of food, & how expensive the add ons are when they’re not actually add ons but substitutes.

Ce café est malheureusement victime de sa popularité; attente interminable pour commander & pratiquement impossible de trouver une place assise par la suite. Il pourrait être intéressant qu’une hôtesse assigne les places pour éviter la longue attente & la mauvaise gestion des places assises. Les pâtisseries sont délicieuses & le café tout autant. Les toasts sont également très bonnes 🙂. J’y retournerai, mais sûrement pas sur l’heure du lunch!
