Review Summary

Tommy Café is widely celebrated for its stunning architecture and inviting, cozy atmosphere situated in the heart of Old Montreal, making it a popular destination for both locals and tourists. Many visitors praise the high quality of the coffee, particularly the lattes and espresso-based drinks, alongside a variety of fresh pastries and flavorful brunch options like avocado toast. While the unique, multi-level seating and vibrant decor contribute to an aesthetic experience, the cafe is frequently very busy, which can lead to limited seating and wait times. Opinions on the service and food consistency remain mixed, as some guests appreciate the friendly and accommodating staff, while others find the pricing high and the environment crowded. Ultimately, it remains a go-to spot for those seeking a memorable cafe experience in a beautiful historic setting.

Staff were really nice & accommodating despite managing the place with our 15 month old daughter. Can be a little tricky with a stroller but doable. Food & coffee were superb. Space is really cool.

Tommy Café in Montreal has a great atmosphere & is in a fantastic location. I tried both the matcha latte & a regular latte. The regular latte was good, while the matcha latte could have been a bit better. Overall, the place is beautiful, the vibes are nice, & the staff were friendly & welcoming. A great spot to relax & enjoy a coffee.

When paying the bill the gentleman saw I wasn't leaving a tip & he began giving me a speech about how they earn below the minimum wage & depend on our tips. That was very uncomfortable. & it's up to me if I want to leave or not. Everything else was perfect, but because of that it ruined the experience.

Tommy Café is one of the most aesthetic & cozy cafés in Montreal. The design is stunning-white marble, greenery, & natural light that makes it feel calm yet upscale. It's perfect for brunch, coffee dates, or getting work done in a beautiful setting. The coffee is consistently good, & the pastries are fresh & well-made. It can get busy, so seating isn't always easy, but the vibe & atmosphere make it worth the wait.

Really impressive inviting & warm modern decor for a cafe, with funky staggered layered seating that works. I also found the corner stair entrance in a Victorian building charming architecture. I don't usually comment much on decor, but for a cafe atmosphere this location is stand-out.
The almond pastry & beef sandwich with side salad were high quality & fresh, as well as a fresh iced mango drink & iced latte. My only nitpick is that I wish they gave nicer cups for the iced drinks. Overall, a memorable cafe & excellent choice.

Window seats, delicious Lox Toast & Co 5+ (& very easy to share) & a Flora Tommy Fizz (Hibiscus, berries, elderflower, chamomile tea, soda & fresh lavender & rose petals). This is a morning must in Old Montreal.

Stumbled upon this gem during f1 weekend 2026. We needed coffee & this sounded nice but not nearly as nice as we expected. Small inside but offer a large personality from the decor to the staff & the food. The food, I order the shakshuka which im familiar with but never tried before. INCREDIBLE 10/10 roasted red pepper sauce was full of flavor & eggs cooked to perfection, only recommendation is order & extra side of toast. My party also tried the Georgia toast AMAZING sweet roasted peaches, tange creamy goat cheese with the sweet heat from the hot honey. The addition of homemade chili oil was a great touch. The drinks SENSATIONAL! Ordered espresso martinis & its hands down the best one I have ever had, strong espresso flavor perfected sweetness with a cinnamon decoration on top added the scent of cinnamon without being overpowering. Finally the staff, during the crazy busy f1 weekend people in & out the staff handled everything very well even with people waiting out the door the kitchen was keeping up & wait times were perfectly reasonable. Aidan was our server & was amazingly kind & helpful throughout our experience.
