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.

It's a beautiful & vibrant atmosphere. It's not quite calm to work but it is recommended for meeting & eating!

I visited this location with a friend today, this was our second time here! It is a great place for studying or catching up with friends! Everything was great from the service, ambiance, & music selection! Bonus the staff were extremely accommodating & helpful with restaurant recommendations in the area. Additionally, they let me charge my phone as it was close to dying & I did not have a charger on hand! We ordered: The grill cheese w/ tomato soup Caesar salad Tommy latte Hot chocolate Almond cross ain't Thank you for a great experience!

Too crowded all the time. The other location is much better. Coffee is great though.

It's our first time visiting Tommy, We have Sandwich, croissant, toast & sweet fix. Also hot chocolate & latte. Not bad & the environment is special, but the seats inside maybe are not enough on weekends. The toast mixed with goat cheese wouldn't smell strong when eating mildly spicy tuna salad together. Tuna salad is a little bit spicy. Whipped cream on sweet toast is really delicious 😊

Super adresse pour bruncher à Montréal ! Ambiance décontracté, attention les places y sont prisées, si vous êtes un groupe cela peut être compliqué de trouver une place.

Staff were super friendly, & the coffee & food is great! Got an iced mocha & a brownie. It is a great place for working/studying. Although it was busy, there were some available tables with outlets.

L'endroit est magnifique, l'ambiance super agréable pour travailler, le café est bon & le personnel est extraordinaire! Dommage que les places se remplissent aussi rapidement. Un gros coup de coeur pour ce café unique!
