Some notes mention hours or a closure until January, but overall the cafe is seen as a standout local gem that blends comfort with artistry and a thoughtful, high quality experience.
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.
Best spot in town. Meilleur spot dans la région tout court, en fait. Meilleur café, meilleures pâtisseries, meilleure bouffe, meilleur vin. Plein de petits produits locaux parfaits pour faire des cadeaux. Ambiance & déco, 10/10. Proprios & employés très cool & smatte, en plus. Forever a huge fan.

Meilleur café de la région Grande sélection de vins natures Produits locaux de grande qualité sélectionnés avec soin Personnel attentionné & ambiance chaleureuse Déjà hâte d'y retourner!!
Magnifique café au charme fou ! Une décoration vintage, l'atmosphère est très agréable. Le personnel est très sympa & le café était excellent! Arrêt qui n'était pas prévu mais clairement nous reviendrons & nous conseillons cet endroit !
Lovely charming & cozy cafe in St Lazare. Definitely worth checking out for their delicious coffees & the food menu. They seem to have a huge wine selection which I must return to explore. Perfect spot to catch up with a friend, eat brunch with family, a date or just to go work. Their grocery selection is good too - love how they work with local businesses & you will find lots of local produce from around the area.
