Reviews portray Tommy Café as a stylish, cozy spot with a pleasant vibe and friendly service, where the coffee is often praised and the atmosphere makes it a solid choice for brunch with friends or a study session; several dishes receive compliments, including truffle eggs benedict and lox toast, while other items are described as underwhelming or overcooked and some plates feel bland or portions are small, affecting perceived value; overall the experience is mixed but the cafe remains popular for its ambiance, drinks, and friendly front of house, with service sometimes varying by visit.
Stopped in as a pit stop during my drive from MTL to Ottawa to get a snack & a latte. The Tommy Latte (with lucky charms) is amazing! Such kind staff as well, would absolutely recommend. x

I tried tommy café for the first time this week. The atmosphere is really nice & the service is good. I had a latte & I enjoyed it but the food was disappointing. I wanted the ube pancakes but they didnt have it so i took the smores french toasts. The dish came with only two dry french toasts with powdered graham crackers & some nutella ( i didnt want the marshmallows) I had to ask for maple syrup since the toasts were dry. I added my own fruits to make it look less miserable. It cost me in total 30$ which is comparable to a specialized place. I wouldn't recommend the place for food, but its nice for the vibe
Nice setup & ambiance at the this location with attentive service. The interior decor is elegant, a perfect blend of modern design & mid?century furniture. The food was good, The'Garden Party' Derby offered a clean & vibrant taste. The Omelette la Cathédrale was delicious, though the portion felt a bit small. had to order a side of bread to feel fully satisfied.
I was so looking forward to this place but was very underwhelmed & disappointed. We (3 people) arrived Sunday morning at 10:30 AM & it was empty so we were quickly seated & offered menus. Waitress came pretty fast to take our coffee orders, I had a cappuccino & it was very good. While the waitress was taking our food orders, a table of 2 guys were seated next to us & not sure why but they received their orders before us. By 11:15ish it was pretty packed. I had french toast & all 3 pieces unfortunately were overcooked & the corner pieces were burnt. Another thing, all 3 of our water glasses tasted bizarre…like if the glasses weren't cleaned properly. Unfortunately I don't see what the big fuss is about. Nothing special about this place. Not worth it to go out of my way to get coffee/breakfast here.
