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.

Very cool historic location. Great coffee & breakfast croissant, but ultimately overpriced. Service is fast & efficient. Several seating available but fills up fast especially on weekends.

Ordered the Tommy coffee & very disappointed. Maybe I had a too high expectation but not the coffee that I was looking for & it was too sweet.

Tommy's has a nice atmosphere good music little corners to sit in, although it's often so busy you have trouble finding a seat. Food is a bit high-priced but it's high quality also & you can find coffees teas drinks & sandwiches pastries.... It's less than a block away from Notre Dame Cathedral & right around the corner from Centaur theater & about three blocks from the old port

Le lieu est beau, prisé pour faire des posts instagram. Dommage que le café ne soit pas à la hauteur de la déco.

The music can be loud at times & most seatings don't have plugs so not ideal for studying. The food is good but very expensive, a lox bagel is marked at 23$

Tommy Cafe, located super close to the heart of Old Montreal, is an absolute gem! The cozy European vibe instantly sets the perfect atmosphere for a relaxing meal. We had the Lox Avotoast with smoked salmon & the Greek Feta Avotoast, & both dishes were simply delicious. The multigrain bread was fresh, & the combination of flavors was spot on, from the creamy avocado to the tangy pickled onions & the savory toppings. Every bite was bursting with flavor! If you're in the area, this is a must-stop! The welcoming ambiance, paired with the rich flavors of their dishes, makes for an unforgettable cafe experience. Highly recommend tasting what this place has to offer! That should highlight your great experience while enjoying those dishes!

Honestly we heard a lot about this spot so we checked it out had a salmon bagel & a coffee was delicious but if you're looking for a solid meal go to a food spot this is more for atmosphere & coffee.

Worst hot chocolate, total disappointment, it tastes of nothingness with a touch of bitter chocolate. It was more of a texture than a flavour. Not decadent nor delicious, especially not for the price. Worse than mid. I'm gonna regret this purchase for the next 4 generations.

A lot of stairs in this restaurant. Atmosphere was great as it was in an old building. Price was high as it was located in the old Montreal. We ordered a latte & a macha latte. An almond chocolate croissant & a breakfast croissant. Both croissants were pretty good. The latte was a little weak.
