Magnifique & charmant café. Super service, staff, très courtois & le café est excellent. Tout est déjà sur place pour passer un bon moment…livre, piano, ect.
How fortunate we are to have such a quality café in the area. I don't say this lightly - this is the best coffee I, & you, will ever have! Better than anywhere in Montreal (& I love places like Olimpico & other Montreal classics), but Tompol is simply on another level.
My go-to is the cortado - perfectly balanced, smooth, & deeply satisfying. I've only just scratched the surface of their baked goods & food offerings, but everything I've tried so far has been exceptional. I look forward to discovering more each visit.
Their wine selection is equally impressive - all private imports, including gems like Provenche & Pigeon Hill. These bottles aren't just rare finds; they represent the best of what Canada & Quebec have to offer in wine (take note, SAQ).
Cafés like this are what make a neighborhood special - thoughtful, passionate, & truly world-class
What a sweet cafe! Very friendly service. Unique & delicious food. I loved the smoresbrot (spelling not guaranteed, basically bread with a shmear), a Danish open sandwich with microgreens & flowers & tomato confit & whipped ricotta. Great music too, & we bought some microgreens with a few flowers to go.
