Tommy Café

It was just an overall waaaooooo experience 🥰 . This was the first time I have been there and I truly liked 👍 everything their food , coffee and service. The ambience had some great vibes. The staff is so accomodating and always smiling. It had huge place to sit. Eventhough I went on weekend I still got a corner to sit and enjoy my brunch. I had a chicken pesto sandwich with salad and it was so nice and fresh. My latte was perfect too. Definitely going to be there again. Although prices were a little high.

This cafe is so cute! Great decor, it made the place feel very cozy and inviting. Friendly staff. We tried the Tommy latte, a regular latte, and the breakfast croissant. Delicious! And can tell the staff enjoy working there!

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, and music selection! Bonus the staff were extremely accommodating and helpful with restaurant recommendations in the area. Additionally, they let me charge my phone as it was close to dying and 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!

It's our first time visiting Tommy, We have Sandwich, croissant, toast and sweet fix. Also hot chocolate and latte. Not bad and 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 😊

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 and a macha latte. An almond chocolate croissant and a breakfast croissant. Both croissants were pretty good. The latte was a little weak.

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

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 and the Greek Feta Avotoast, and both dishes were simply delicious. The multigrain bread was fresh, and the combination of flavors was spot on, from the creamy avocado to the tangy pickled onions and 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!

Super cute spot! Was excited to have brunch. Ordered 2 brew coffee and was seriously tasted like water. Tried to make it better with sugar amd cream, didnt work at all so asked for latte. Different server wasnt happy with what we have said and we(3 of us) actually felt it. Place wasnt ecen that busy after we got there but my latte and cappucchino arrived after our meal. Our seever who took our ordered never checked on us. Maybe its montreal thing.. Food was decent and loved deco. Its very cute. Washroom is super narrow and not the best one. Had a chance to speak with other guest who is from Ottawa. Said the same thing. They didnt have good service. Too bad. Wont recommend here if you are big for a good service. You wont get it.

I know that this place is just a chain coffee shop but the vibes are actually impeccable. I didn't know Montreal's coffee scene is so strong, and I really loved all the cafes I've been to and this one was a great representation of the culture. We were able to easily find a table for 3 at around 10am on a weekend, but coming in 30 minutes later you might have to wait. I ordered a Perle Sandwich and it was genuinely quite good. I was a bit worried that there wouldn't be that much food and I wouldn't feel full when they first brought the plate over, but it was actually delicious and filling. I loved all the bits of vegetables in the tuna salad which went very well with the bread. The salad on the side was great too. I think though what was more impressive was the interior and how all these different types of furniture items came together into one cohesive unit. It was both botanical but also vintage vibes. Definitely a great place to spend in the morning.

Tommy Café had a great vibe in my opinion. The service was filled with kind people, there was nice background music that I believe is perfect for a café and the food that my friend and I had order was served in perfect timing and was really enjoyable; it was delicious and filling. The only thing I would have recommended that might need a little change is the tables. Some of the tables were too small; when looking around it look like there wasn't enough space to have a plate of food next to your work/laptop. However, don't let this stop you from still coming to Tommy Café as a place to hangout; for I find this place still great for me and my friend. We just wanted a place where we can sit down, relax and catch up and Tommy Café did exactly that. Would also recommend this to anyone who just needs a calm place to have lunch and needs to do some personal/school work. Not as busy as I have usually heard from others and seen with my own eyes but then again depends on the days you go.

Small corner shop with a second floor seating and mid tier seating area. It feels quite cozy inside. Large autumn latte (three shots of espresso) with oat milk sounds good for my hubby, less the whipped cream and cinnamon toast, cereal. Grabbed a large autumn latte, chocolate drizzle and pistachio croissant and the last Nutella cronut. C$20.70 We ordered to go, but the latte was put into a mug, while the cronut had the chocolate croissant were put into wax paper. The Nutella all comes off of the Cronut in the wax bag. Annoying. :( would be better to have the Nutella inside the Cronut. The Cronut is not so good, the dough seems like it's old and stale and rather hard too. The Nutella is the better part of this stale Cronut. The chocolate drizzle is so-so, the croissant isn't that buttery, flaky pastry you expect at all. It's quite dense and the inside is soft and mushy from the rather sparse dusting of pistachio nuts. Their pastries are quite overrated. The autumn latte was just average. Nothing special. They don't even try to fancy up the top of your latte at all, may as well not even bother. Service is quick, hardly any real interface.

I went here twice during my recent trip to Montreal. Once to pick up a chocolate croissant and matcha latte to go (both amazing) and then again for brunch with a group of 10. It's a cute space and the menu has a nice range of salads, sandwiches, and other brunch items. The service was overall pretty quick considering that it was fairly busy and we had a large group. The only downside was that the tables are tiny, so it was tough making room for everyone's plates and drinks. I ordered the lox toast which was super filling, with a generous portion of lox, capers, and red onions. Overall, it's a cute brunch spot and the food is solid!

Cute brunch spot in Montreal. The food was delicious and healthy. This place gets really packed during certain hours - be sure to call/ check before going for the wait time.

Solid 3. + really good pistachio chocolate croissant + latte glacé + cute ambiance +/- super busy - they don't take names or give you a number and soooo many people are waiting for drinks. Some guy (who ordered after me) grabbed my drink before I could get it, DRANK OUT OF IT, realized it wasn't what he ordered, then set it back on the bar! The barista was so busy we could never get her attention to make me a new drink, which ended up taking 20 minutes. Ugh. - on top of ^^^, they forgot to make the Cortado we ordered Maybe our visit was a fluke, but there has to be a better streamlined system.

I'm obsessed with this coffee shop! Note: this review is only on drinks. ***LOCATION*** This charming coffee shop and cafe is located right next to the Notre-Dame Basilica of Montreal aka the top tourist attraction in the city. However, this spot somehow still manages to have a local feel to it. ***EXPERIENCE*** My partner and I had a fantastic time at this coffee shop. We wanted to find a spot to have the money date and couldn't have found a better one. We were able to find seating upstairs and for it to be pretty intimate and somewhat private. There were a lot of people (as it was a Saturday), but something about the seating makes it feel still spacious. When you first walk in, it feels like there is a stage with seating. It's a beautifully designed coffee shop with a lot of yummy natural lighting. I ordered a mocha and it was probably the best mocha I've ever had. I'm still dreaming about the rich cocoa they used in it and the fresh coffee. It was divine. My partner really enjoyed his coffee too. They have food options, but we didn't get food on this visit. The avocado toast looks pretty yummy. ***PRICE*** My mocha was about $8. ***BATHROOM*** There were two gender neutral restrooms upstairs. I liked that the sink was outside and the stalls were just the toilets. ***CONCLUSION*** If you are looking for a delicious mocha, I highly recommend checking this spot out.

For a quick bite in the most convenient location, this coffee shop/small cafe with the cutest inside decor and multi levels was absolutely perfect. Needing to fuel up for the day and also let some rain pass, our time here was fulfilling and enjoyable. Everything was delicious!! Huge portions, and I was most impressed by the perfectly soft bread.

Came here late afternoon on a Sunday and it was still fairly busy. This location has 3 floors; first floor is the ordering area and second and third floor has seating, the third floor has a couch as well and can lounge. I came for their pistachio croissant (popular item) but they were sold out unfortunately, so we got another pistachio dessert, the crookie (croissant and cookie) and a mocha (also popular item). They're also known for their avocado toast which we didn't get to try. I loved the mocha drink, but the 2 pastry/dessert items were just alright. The interior is beautiful and we enjoyed our mid day pickup here.

It looks like an old school café that you would see on a period drama or a movie with a bit of a modern twist. I really like how it looks. The matcha is quite good! Ils a really good mix of the oat milk and the matcha flavor, it's not bitter but you can still taste the matcha!

We stopped in during a cold day to enjoy some warm and a hot tea. Tea was great and vibes were good. We warmed up for almost 2 hours in here just hanging out and enjoying the views. A little crowded but that was expected when downtown!

This is one of my go to staple spots in Montreal, I just love the decor here with the tall ceilings and the airy ambiance. It's a great way to start the morning. I ordered a coffee and sat by the coffee counter. It's a great way to start the day and people watch. Love this spot!

Tommy's makes the best fried egg I've ever had and the avocado toast is heavenly!!! Highly recommend. Waitresses are extremely friendly and helpful, service was great. The ambiance is awesome too, plants hang from the ceilings!! Please go h

Breakfast at Tommy in Montréal was enjoyable we love breakfast sandwich & avocado, toast !" The chai tea was good but the fruity pebble coffee was not for us . But overall nice experience

Delicious spot for breakfast! Lots of options and very friendly service. They also have a to go counter.

After walking around downtown, I decided to treat myself to something sweet. Per the recommendation of the cashier I bought a pain au chocolat and a chocolate & almond croissant. Both were devilishly delicious. The pain au chocolat melted in my mouth. The croissant was on the sweeter side, but so it goes with most things that have almond paste. The cafe itself was so picturesque. I can imagine posting up here for a few hours with a good book or your laptop to get some work done.

Great spot to grab a coffee and a light bite and get some work done. The ambiance and atmosphere is bustling yet friendly. I ordered an oat latte and the chocolate pistachio croissant. Pretty good overall- I wish the croissant was a little more crispy/flaky but the flavor was on point. Nice spot to relax while exploring Downtown Montreal. Lots of greenery and calming decor.

On our way out of the Notre-Dame Basilica during our visit to Montreal, we asked a staff member for a good place to get some lunch nearby and she recommended Tommy. It was cold and rainy and Tommy was the perfect place to relax, have marvelous food, and keep warm. The atmosphere is so inviting and there are plenty of different kinds of places/configurations to sit while enjoying food and conversation. We had a terrific experience--the food and staff were wonderful. Highly recommend.

Wow wow wow, I love this super cute, sweet spot! The architecture is gorgeous, the interior design is so fun and homey, the plants everywhere are a dream. All the staff are so friendly, their cortado is great, and the salmon avocado toast was super filling and delicious. I don't know that the pastries are really where it's at, but everything else was top notch and I was disappointed I didn't have more hours, days, weeks to spend just sitting here and being my best, most productive self!

D'habitude j'évite les restos autour de sites touristiques parce que je m'attends qu'ils seront trop chers et qu'ils auront trop de clients. Tommy est pas bon marché, mais il vaut la coûte grâce à la bonne nourriture et à la bonne ambiance. J'ai assez mangé et avais pas de trouble de trouver une siège. Usually I avoid restaurants in touristy locations because they tend to be expensive and crowded, but Tommy was well worth the price with great food and a pleasant ambiance. I ate well and had no trouble finding a seat.

We're back. Hope you guys didn't miss us too much. Cornering one of Montreal's main streets, Tommy Cafe is an unsurprisingly healthily-frequented establishment. Its mint stripes and lax assortment of fauteuils effortless embody a sort of laidback sophistication --hipster in its top notes, afore a backdrop of 70s disco. Suggesting a current interpretation of the classic diner, the deliberate, subtle nostalgia it contrived derived an austerity only accorded to those chrysalised remnants, that now-powdered gossamer of yesterday's society and culture, that managed to edge and slur into today. Urban, fresh, and zesty, it seemed the sort of place where I could both pop in intermittently for a quick fix and pitch myself for an afternoon of reading. Alas, first impressions often are astray, and past the pale fire of urban consciousness is the usual manufactured metropolitan poshlust. The lepidopterist would be disappointed to observe this lack of eclosion, for the pupa of awareness was plastic, its figure limned on walls dappled by faint edge stains and careless moving. Facing the stairs, a large blank tv screen blank mantles the upper south wall, and the east makes no attempt to curtain its backdrop scaffolded by corporatism --the plant walls are plastic, and the tabletops glued. Tiny, yet conspicuous cracks bezel the concavities of the wooden letters that spell Tommy (or perhaps some other word, I forget), and on the far side of the room, an ill-placed lamp leans askew from being too close to the wall. The naked outlet exposing its gut of wires completes the impression of a quickly built suburban house barely distinguishable from its neighbours, pederast to the nymphet sincerity of individualism. If you're looking for clean and well-lighted, an establishment unlacking the grace to be a short haven from the city, perhaps look elsewhere. Oh, the espresso? It was burnt. If you ever decide to go take a fat dump, beware: The washroom. There's no paper. If they didn't expect us to wipe, maybe that's why there wasn't soap either. .

We stopped by this cool looking cafe because of its European architecture facade. My husband got a nice latte and we sat down enjoying the nice decor and ambiance. There are many Tommy Cafes around Montreal and other parts of Canada, but this one in Old Town has the best setting, in an old building with lots of nice greenery decor...it's just relaxing and charming. Tommy Café + Apéro is a neighborhood coffee shop and bar that has grown to many branches. Established in Old Montreal (this one being the original store), Tommy Cafe offers a wide selection of coffees, pastries, snacks and drinks -- seven days a week. The Old Montreal store has a balanced blend of modern design, mid-century furniture and Victorian architecture. Just stunning !

Came here multiple times for the fast service and casual dining setup. The avocado toasts are amazing with great portions and delicious bread. Got the lucky charms latte cause it was cute, but the flavor of the drink was just a normal latte. Menus are written in English and French. if you or your party are disabled and/or have trouble climbing stairs, this location is not accessible

Located in a historic district of Montreal. Super friendly service and very good breakfast and brunch food. So E times hard to find a seat but this place is very popular

Stopped in for a quick late lunch. Before heading over to see Notre Dame Church. Very friendly staff, boho decor, and great food.

Quaint breakfast cafe with coffee, sandwiches and pastries. It was very crowded when we were there but managed to get a window seat at the counter. I ordered the Breakfast Croissant with the egg fried all the way through ;). It was tasty and not overly filling-just right!

Tommy is an absolutely gorgeous cafe that offers a wide range of drinks, pastries, and brunch items. The interior was beautiful and showcased the light outside very well, and it emulated a cozy space to catch up with friends or do work. We got the lucky charms latte, which was expensive but worth the try. We got the caramel and hazelnut syrups for them and enjoyed them very much. We then ordered the smoked salmon bagel but were not particularly impressed. It tastes exactly as you would expect it. There isn't much of a wow factor for it. The drinks were therefore a 5/5, and the bagel a 3/5. WiFi is available, and the service was amazing. We got tips from the staff on where to go on our little adventure in Montreal, and they were very warm in greeting. It also gets pretty busy and the lines can get long, but the wait times aren't too bad. P.S. A tip with the lucky charms latte is to not drink it with a straw. Just sip on it.

What a delight, despite this joint overflowing with a queue out the door! We arrived at a good time and grabbed a seat behind the baristas, where we watched the waves of humanity lapping in the doors. The young ladies running everything, from the orders and till, to the baristas, were thronged with people, device snafus, running out of things, etc, and never lost their cool, despite no reprieve. Had a FAB Greek avocado toast: on sesame bread, with tomatoes, onions, and cucumbers and some Chile peppers. Also sampled the chocolate pistachio croissant and the London Fog-yum. I asked for a big one and they were not playing. I thought it was a small planter until I saw the handle. All delightful, in a beautiful building, with gracious staff despite the mad holiday crowds. Kudos to this place- a perfect one of you're headed to the nearby Basilica where Celine Dion got married.

As charming as the coffee shops in Montreal are, I was never blown away by the actual coffee. But Tommy ACTUALLY made a great latte! I was so happy to have good coffee. The space itself is so cool, and the Greek toast was so satisfying. They have a pretty stocked bar, which I found so interesting. Why don't coffee shops in Miami all have alcohol? Let's get in on that.

Beautiful and popular cafe near Notre Dame. Love the plant-ful interior and so many different seating options. There are many coffee, tea and other drink options as well as many pastries, avo toast and other food items. The cronut with Nutella was amazing as was the almond croissant. The cookies are giant! I had the iced coffee but I regret it as after I sat down I heard someone order a lavender matcha. I'll definitely have to order that next time. The service is excellent. Definitely recommend this place for meeting friends, studying or just enjoying some chill time alone.

The food here was delicious. I got the avocado toast grec and it was amazing. The portion sizes are great as well. I paired it with the Tommy latte (which is the one with the lucky charms) and it was delicious. The one downside was that it was pretty busy and you had to sit yourself, but we didn't have a problem finding a seat. Overall great experience, would definitely come back!

100% one of the most aesthetic coffee shops I've been to. The inside is so nicely decorated with plants, mirrors, cushions that it feels very comfy inside. I got an iced almond latte which was pretty good but generally everything seems to be a little on the pricier side. The staff are very friendly and if I'm ever back in the area I'll be sure to stop by again!

Absolutely loved the vibe of the interior, there were so many plants and different places to sit and hang. The grab and go food was very reasonably priced and pretty yummy!

What a wonderful little spot to grab a coffee and a breakfast. It was rather busy but things moved quickly. Good menu selections and coffee. Definitely would recommend a stop here.

I came in here looking for Wi-Fi to take a quick work call and this place did not diss appoint. It seems like a popular local spot to get work done/ study. They have a pretty good Wi-Fi, and some great coffee. I ordered the americano to try and taste the espresso and it was one of the good ones! The interiors are very well done and pretty. They staff is also kind and attentive. I noticed they kept a good eye on dirty tables and made sure people were well attended to.

A cute cafe in old town Montreal! It gets really busy, even on weekdays, but there are two floors so you should be able to find some space. There's decent wifi if you're looking to work. Otherwise, the drinks are solid. I had a cafe cubano, which was honestly a tad too sweet, but the other espresso based drinks I had were great. They also have a variety of toasts with egg that can be pretty filling. Caught up with a few friends there and the cafe was conducive to great conversation. I definitely recommend Tommy!

Drinks: 4.5/5 lucky charms latte. Not too sweet and good flavor. Steep in terms of price though $8.63 CAD including tax. Wouldn't mind getting it again though. Environment: 4.5/5 space and decor is really cool. Good for pictures. Gives you feeling like you're in Europe. Didn't order food but it looked good though.

Great coffee and a great environment to get out of the rain and have a cup of coffee and enjoy yourself.

The lovely cafe shop right around the corner in the heart of Montreal! It is so cute to plants all around the cafe like this. After a walk around town in the summer, I was thirsty and found this place. So beautiful. Besides coffee, they also serve croissants and pastries. Every corner is absolutely clean and organized. There are books if you go by yourself and want to have some quiet time. There are a few water stations around the place for customers who want to grab a sip of water with their coffees. Small flower vases are found throughout the store. If I were a resident in this city, this cafe will absolutely be my favorite place to go to! Highlights of the menu: 1. Matcha latte 2. Hot chocolate

This popular spot was on our list of cafes to try during our weekend visit to Montreal. We love the historic feel of Old Montreal and appreciated the architecture inside Tommy Cafe. They definitely made the most of their space with the seating arrangement. My boyfriend enjoyed his Lucky Charms latte and we both savored the avocado toast. However, I was disappointed because the website mentioned that they offered smoothies, but when we got to the cafe, we were told that they are only offered at specific locations. Still, it was a pleasant experience with a bustling environment and tasty food. By the time we left there was a line out the door.

Nice service, the place is super cozy, and music is top notch. Food was excellent. The Tommy's benedictines have a pesto hint on the hollandaise sauce toped with avocado that really compliment the poached eggs. The French toast was delicous, the soft texture would melt in your mouth. And that crispy bacon was perfect. What a nice place.

Fabulous food and service. Very nice, not too noisy, arty space. Go you will enjoy it.

I've been here 4 times now. The only good thing they have are the drinks. The rest of it - food, snacks, disgusting. The S'mores dish liked and tasted like crap, and was not at all worth the money they charged ($16?). Save your cash and go elsewhere. Even Starbucks is better than this.

The lucky charms latte was cute and inventive, and the croissants with egg and a side salad were filling and got you energized for the day. The locale feels like a tall, cozy reading nook with stairs going up to a couple small spots all inside an old building. Their branded coffee mugs felt great and were cool but sadly they had none for purchase at the moment.

February 20, 2019 - this please is very cute, the staff was friendly. It does get very very hot in there. Maybe it was just me. We ordered: Breakfast croissant Chocolate danish Almond danish Something like a donut (sorry don't know the name) Classic avotoast w/ prosciutto Classic avotoast w/ salmon And a few drinks We sat on the second floor it's such a pretty little brunch spot. Definitely recommend. But we didn't stay too long as we all started to feel too hot.

Friendly barista, Decent menu, had an avocado toast, a little over priced but good none the less. Always a long line up, really nice decor, tons of plants and cute Knick knacks around the cafe. Not a crazy amount of seating at this location but we found there a quick turn over. This location gets lots of sun light which is really nice.

there was this girl who helped my sister, father, and me... she was a kpop stan and so bubbly and wonderful. she made the whole day worth it!! forgot her name but she was so wonderful. also so gorgeous inside the place.... and had a yummy donut!

Great brunch place. The restaurant was clean and had a casual, but fun atmosphere. We ordered iced coffees and the breakfast croissants. The croissants were SO toasty and warm. The meal was super delicious. Would definitely recommend to try if in the area!

For some reason I had high expectations for this establishment just because I heard that it gets crazy busy here. I am hovering between 3 to 4 stars. First to make it clear, this location is order and then get seated type of cafe, whereas the one further down the street is sit down and get waited on cafe. The difference is that the other one opens an hour later than this location, which we had no idea. We came here around 9am on a Sunday and the lines weren't long at all (at the top of the steps) and there were still some seating available. It is pretty tiny in here and will get claustrophobic - I do not know how one maneuvers through here during peak hours. It was not even busy and it was hard to move around already. The menu did not pique my interest, but for the sake of it, I ordered the avocado toast. I have got to say that this was one of the best avocado toasts I've ever had! This is worth ordering, especially with that egg on top. I ordered a cappuccino as well. Apparently you are supposed to grab the drinks first and then find a seat - it does not come with your meal when the staff brings over the food for you. Because of this, our drinks got cold and the staff was friendly enough to offer us a second cup before we left. The coffee is pretty strong, which is why this place deserves a 4 star. It is so rare for me to get wired like the way I did with this cappuccino. Highly recommend. Overall, this is a cute cafe but certainly not the most relaxing. Almost felt claustrophobic. If I come back to Montreal, I definitely want to try the other location so I can sit down and enjoy my meal. I believe they have a more extensive menu. If I am in a rush, I'd come back here to get a nice cup of cappuccino to wake sleepy me up.
