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.

Sehr empfehlenswert!
Gutes Frühstück, sehr guter Kaffee. Die Mitarbeiter sind freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Das Lokal hat auf 3 Etagen eine sehr ruhige, angenehme Atmosphäre, die stuckverzierte Decke ist sehenswert.

Very busy on the day we went. Popular spot with awkward seating. Great location in an historic building. Matcha was good. Cortado wasn't the best. Cookie was great. Staff are friendly. Owner kept coming in the back with her dog which I found very annoying & distracting as we were sitting there. Overall it's fine.

Très bon café ! Le matcha à la fraise est délicieux. L'ambiance du café est mignonne, mais beaucoup de monde

What a light & beautiful space. It's a multilevel cafe tucked into a grand old building.
Hanging plants, cast-iron base cafe tables. Great coffee. Big chunky bowls of chia, yogurt, fruit, granola.

Stopped in for breakfast. I had the avocado toast with lox & it was tasty but overpriced.

Food is decent, it gets super busy, you aren't missing out on anything special so just go somewhere else instead.

Café rempli de freelance & autres personnes sur leur ordinateur. Difficile de trouver une place & cette ambiance wework c'est pas du tout ce qu'on recherche lorsqu'on veut boire un verre ou prendre un goûter détente. La carte n'est pas non plus très attrayante avec un choix trop limité & basique. Les pâtisseries & gâteaux sont à la moyenne, rien de démarquant.
Mention spéciale pour la salle en elle-même qui est très jolies avec de belles moulures aux plafond. C'est dommage, ce lieu mérite mieux qu'un café pour télétravail.

Nothing special or incredible about this place in my opinion. People mostly go there for the location of this coffee place & to take picture but other then that their coffee is nothing that incredible I've tasted better in more local places & their prices for some simple dishes are just plain a robbery in my opinion. Sadly, I wasn't impressed with my visit of this coffee place ☹
