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.

Very small & charming cafe with fast wifi. We tried the matcha latte & the chai latte which honestly weren't very good. Too milky, but the vibes of the place made up for it

Mon expérience chez Tommy Café pour le brunch a été absolument parfaite. L'ambiance était détendue & invitante, avec une décoration charmante qui ajoutait à l'atmosphère conviviale. Le menu du brunch était varié & alléchant, avec des options pour tous les goûts. J'ai été particulièrement impressionné par la fraîcheur & la qualité des ingrédients utilisés dans chaque plat. Les oeufs bénédictines étaient parfaitement pochés, les pancakes étaient moelleux à souhait & le café était délicieux. Le service était également impeccable, avec un personnel attentif & sympathique. Je recommande vivement Tommy Café à tous ceux qui recherchent une expérience de brunch exceptionnelle. C'est certainement un endroit où je reviendrai avec plaisir!

We have iced coffees & breakfast sandwiches, they were delicious! Nice cosy looking place, quick enough service, just a little pricey. Good vibes.

The ambience looks really good, very well furnished. The service staff was very nice, but the café was not a professional barista. I really didn't like the coffee at all.

The chai is so good! However the place can be kind of noisy. Nice place to study or chat with a friend

Le café est beau, endroit agréable pour y aller entre amis ou seul, par contre difficile de trouver des places & les espaces sont vraiment collés les uns avec les autres. Côté nourriture c'est vraiment cher pour rien. Juste un avocatoast 20$, en plus qu'il goutais juste le sel. Donc vraiment il y a mieux comme endroit pour aller profiter d'un plat simple :

Cute & cozy cafe that makes very good coffee steps away from the Notre Dame Cathedral. It can get packed, but there are barstools by the windows where one can relax & sip drinks in peace while people-watching

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

The drinks are bland & overpriced. Definitely not a place to come & study as there are little no outlets for your computers or iPads. I think there are better coffee shops you can go too. As a side note, service is good, staff is friendly & the coffee shop itself is cute.

Beautiful place in a beautiful neighborhood. Pastries are a standout, excellent service in English or ( I presume) French on both occasions I visited. Busy but quick on weekends, chill & beautiful atmosphere on weekdays.

Tommy café is obviously a must if you are in Montreal. The place is gorgeous, the coffee tastes wonderful & the service is good. I'd say the only inconvenient is that it is a well-known place so it is often packed. I strongly recommend the avocado toast. They use thick slices of good quality bread, & the avocado is not over seasoned.

Came here on a Sunday morning & it was so incredibly busy we could barely get through the door. Ended up taking our coffees to go. The staff were great & worked so quickly despite how crazy busy it was.
