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.

Nice clean place close Notre Dame Basilica in Montreal. Relaxing environment. Good place for breakfast. Complementary free internet to catch up with e-mail, news & updates.
Stopped by for an iced matcha. When I leave & start drinking i realize it tastes just like milk with a hint of matcha. So i go back & tell the barista sorry but the drink tastes just like milk, she says she will just add more matcha, I kindly ask to please have another drink made since this one has a lot of milk & ice it'll take a lot more matcha. She refuses, & insists on just adding matcha, then proceeds to taking her empty matcha bowl that just had residue, add some hot water to it without adding any tea, & pouring it in my drink which then melts all the ice. Now I'm enjoying my 9$ iced watered milk with a note of matcha. Thank you.
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.
A must visit for a Montreal cafe. It's next to the old port along with the notre dame. Atmosphere is cozy & busy throughout the day. Good food overall with a great place to take photos.

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
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.
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 😊
Une expérience, l'endroit est plus que charmant & nous met en admiration devant ce décor riche en architecture. Le café est savoureux & l'ambiance enveloppante. À voir!
