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.
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.

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.
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.

A beautiful niche, with plenty of seating, & great decor. You order at the counter & receive your food at the table of your choice. Drinks must be picked up at the counter. The portions are appropriate, & the sandwiches are very good.
A beautiful two-level cafe with plants & opulent details on the wall. Photos don't do it justice, you have to visit to see it in person. Really cute hangout spot. Decent coffee too. Expect long lines!
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.
Café & dessert très bon Le service pas top. 3-4 serveuses sont derriere le bar & ne font pas toutes quelque chose. On nous appelle pour aller chercher notre café. Ca aurait été bien qu'ils nous le ramène malgré que certaines dames restaient les bras croisés. Certains endroits ne sont pas très propre, y compris les tables
