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.
Popped in here for a cheeky brunch whilst in Montreal for a couple of days. The food was off the Richter scale & the vibes were immaculate. Queue was a bit long tbh but fair enough because it’s such a solid spot

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.
Has a lovely time here. We were there on Sunday around noon & it was packed. It took awhile to line up but the coffee was quick. You need to find your own seat & it took some time for food to come out but they were super busy. Everything tasted great but the breakfast croissant & salmon avocado toast was amazing. Highly recommend as the atmosphere was great with friendly staff.

Regular coffee nothing special almond chocolate croissant very hard to bite or sliced with knife. Kinda stale & not flaky at all. Very loud & crowded. I would only recommend to go not peak hours to take photos because it’s very nice interior & vibe
The bagel with smoked salmon is really delicious, perfectly prepared. & the cappuccino was perfectly balanced. It’s a bit crowded during lunch time, but the interior is really comfortable & airy. Great for people-watching.
The drink & food were nice but pretty expensive for their price point. We got the avocado toast but it was just avocado on a toast so had no flavour or taste to it for $13.

Très bon café dans le centre de Montréal, situé dans un ancien bâtiment, personnel sympathique & bilingue, les croissants fantastiques si ce n'est meilleurs qu'en France. Bon café, bien dosé & de qualité. Excellent brownie, le meilleur que je n'ai jamais eu, léger, pas trop sucré, avec un vrai goût de noix!
Amazing cafe in a really old beautiful building in Old Montreal. The place feels so refreshing & makes it so enjoyable to be there. Coffee was excellent as well.
