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.
This cafe is undoubtedly beautiful, located right in the centre of Old Port. The iced latte was prepared perfectly, & service was top notch. Be prepared for Instagrammers filling up this space though - it's not that annoying but noticeable. Still definitely worth stopping by to enjoy the ambience!

Very very good cafe. Went here for breakfast & had the Chocolate Pistachio croissant, Avo Toast & the Bacon & Egg sandwich along with coffees. The Chai Latte was beyond excellent. The ambience of the place is great as well.
Cancelled by the gays. Food was very mid & they kept getting my order wrong even after I repeated the order, & kept serving me bacon. First order was served rudely & incorrectly. Little miscommunication on their end which is fine & understandable. Would not be surprised if they spat in my food even though I was super polite & kind with the staff. Loved the aesthetics of the place though
I got a pistachio-filled chocolate croissant with an Americano. The coffee was quite good, & the staff & atmosphere of the coffee shop were great. The croissant, however, didn't quite meet my expectations - it lacked the crispness I was hoping for.

honestly i've been hearing about this place for months & today i decided to give it a try, when i came in there was this really sweet blond girl at the cash register, the issue came with the guy that was making my drink, the only lids that were available were hot coffee lids so i asked if he had any straw lids & he said no, then he pointed to the hot lids & said thats all they had, me not being used to this i asked should i put the straw in the hot lid hole & he said'i dont care what you do' after that i decided to not interact with him anymore, as i took my first sip i realized that it was 90% powder, the matcha had not been whisked properly at all & the bottom of my cup was a mix of strawberry syrup & matcha powder, i came back inside to get a replacement & he told me' no i think you're wrong its the strawberry' theres a clear difference between strawberry syrup & matcha powder.... he kept going on & on about the fact that i was mistaken until another girl with bangs came & told me they'd remake it for me & was sorry for the inconvenience, the new cup he served me had half of the strawberry content there was in the first one but i simply didnt have the energy or the patience to talk to that rude man again, the two girls were truly very nice & polite but that man with his condescending attitude really ruined the experience for me, i wish i could rate it more but compared to the other reviews from my friends i was really disappointed
Awesome food, great coffee, & friendly service! The cozy, aesthetic vibe made us feel really comfortable. Staff were super nice & welcoming. Would definitely visit again.
