Such a lovely cafe in Montreal! The interior is very nice and the vibes here are so chill. There is a decent amount of seating but of course you can always take your order to go. They can be pretty busy so I suggest arriving early. You order your food at the front and pick up your drink on the side. If you're dining in and you've ordered food, they'll give you a number so you can grab a seat and they can bring your food to you. My cappuccino was good. :) We got the Suzy (Avocado Toast with Bacon) and the Aurora (Smoked Salmon Bagel). Both things were delicious and can even be shared if you normally don't eat a big breakfast. The breakfasts we got were around $20 and $22 each. With our one drink and tip, it ended up being over $60 for breakfast at a little cafe, which is slightly more than what I'd normally pay - but perhaps Montreal prices are a little higher? Either way, it was still a nice visit. read more

Tommy Café, despite all the hype, was unfortunately a bit of a disappointment for us. The café itself has an interesting vibe, with quirky bi-level seating and plenty of character, so we were excited to try it. Unfortunately, the food just didn't deliver. The salmon bagel was particularly disappointing and almost inedible. We also tried the spinach and feta scone, but it was quite doughy yet dry, and we couldn't manage more than a few bites. The coffee was decent and the service was fine, but neither was enough to make up for the food. Maybe we simply caught them on an off day, but based on our experience, Tommy didn't quite live up to its reputation. It's a cute yet lively spot to check out for the atmosphere, but I'd go in with tempered expectations when it comes to the food. read more

Love this place! Literally our first hour in Montreal, and we were looking for a coffee cafe with personality, and we found it at Tommy Cafe! We had great cappuccinos, Avococo sandwich and the Gobble (turkey) sandwich. We ended our meal with a great lemon/blueberry cake and a carrot cake. What a great place to hang out in a rainy day on Montreal! The decor is hip, vintage and super fun--plus it's in a beautiful, historic building. I really felt like I'd been transported to a Parisian cafe! I highly recommend Tommy's...a great place for locals and tourists alike! read more

We had a delightful breakfast at Tommy's. Omelette with prosciutto and mushrooms. And a BIG cappuccino. My husband had a bagel with lox & cream cheese. All were fresh and tasty. The cafe is decorated in a funky eclectic way with lots of plants and assorted knickknacks. read more

Such a cute little place, the area is under construction which was a little annoying but the place is worth it. We came in on a Sunday to have a quick breakfast before heading to the science museum. Their coffee is really good and the food was great, we came in right on time before it became packed, we were a group of 5. Our server Elle Gallacher was super nice & really funny which made the experience even better. Highly recommended read more

Semi-eclectic naturally-lit and very open cafe with tall windows, many plants, and a plethora of small tables and "bar seats" perfect for anything from first dates to laptop work. They serve ready-made pastries, hot sandwiches, coffee/espresso/tea drinks, and loose leaf tea (ask to see the loose leaf menu, the green I tried was good and from Camellia Sinensis), with some alcoholic options as well. They have Wi-Fi posted, although outlets seem difficult to come by so take a peak around your table before committing if you'll need to plug in. read more

Stopped in for brunch. Food was excellent. We had the Solstice avocado toast with burrata and tomatoes and added a sunny side up egg. The presentation was beautiful although it needed a little salt and pepper. The croissant breakfast sandwich was excellent. We got it without the prosciutto so it had smashed avocado, sunny side up egg and Gruyère (I believe). This was hands down the best breakfast sandwich I have had. It came with a side salad which had a delicious vinaigrette dressing. My only knock on this place was the service set up. Four of us spent about $150 for brunch. I don't mind paying that for a great meal, which it was. For that price point, it would have been nice to have someone seat you and take your order instead of having to find a table and then go back down 2 floors to the counter to order. Apparently other locations have table service. Bottom line, food was delicious and I would definitely go again. read more

Tommy - Solstice Avocado Toast - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

A charming corner cafe in Montreal. It is located in an old building filled with charm, and lots of beautiful plants. There were several levels with seating options. We stopped in for coffee and pastries and there were so many choices it was hard to decide. We had lattes, scones and cookies. The were all so fresh and sweet. Service was excellent. The staff were nice, friendly and patient while we were deciding which pastries we wanted to purchase. Highly Recommend! read more

Our hotel was really close to this crazy three level cafe that's been carved out of what appears to be some stately bank building, so we had to try it out. Turns out Tommy has really excellent food and drinks! The Tommy Latte, vanilla coffee with lucky charms on top(!), was a wonderful crazy sweet treat. The food here was also excellent. Their avocado toasts are wonderful, served on thick, star shaped bread and packed with all sorts extras for the price (at least compared to the American dystopia of paying $18 for literally one piece of toast and a half avocado). I was expecting college kid hang out cafe and instead I got totally solid bistro. We liked it so much we came back twice in a week. Rad space, lovely food! Kinda miss it! read more

My husband and I had breakfast here today and we thought the smores French toast and avocado toast were great. We also enjoyed their hot chocolate. It gets crowded, but we found a table upstairs. Good food and fast service. Walkable from the Notre Dame basilica. read more

Tommy - Avocado toast and s'mores French toast, along with hot chocolate - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Website says they open at 6:00am but I went by at 7:00 and they were closed with no sign of opening any time soon. Disappointed

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. read more

Tommy - Perle Sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

The food was really good. You can tell everything was Fresh! Quick service, they bring the order to you which is a nice touch. The vibe was calming and very nice as well. The only thing I think needs improvement is the placement of certain tables and chairs. Not easy to walk around or move to go get things, or go to the bathroom. Also there were a couple of flies flying everywhere, so maybe keeping the door closed. But then again there isn't ac either so I guess it doesn't help. But other than that it was pretty good! read more

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. read more

Cozy and very good coffee and smoothies. Great little place in old town. Friendly staff to boot

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! read more

Tommy - Smoked Salmon Toast - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

While visiting Montreal, I made a point of stopping by this café after bookmarking it on Google. The cute decor and positive reviews had already caught my attention. Parking was difficult to find, so we ended up walking quite a bit after leaving the car. I loved the café's corner location, which gave it a charming vibe, especially with the staircase leading up to it. The layout was unique, with multiple levels and scattered seating, although it was tricky to find space for our group of four and we eventually split into pairs. We tried several items. The iced matcha latte with vanilla wasn't the strongest I've had, but the flavor was still enjoyable. The lavender latte was a pleasant surprise, carrying the lavender notes beautifully without being overpoweringly floral. The matcha cookie quickly became a favorite. It was so good that we went back to grab the last one. While I wished for a slightly stronger matcha flavor, the texture was perfect and the sweetness level just right. It just really hit the spot. The Avococo was another delicious pick, with well-balanced flavors. The grilled cheese was tasty but small and a bit plain (they could use more cheese and maybe even a variety of types), while the tomato soup served alongside was creamy, herb-forward, and flavorful, though also quite small for the price. Overall, everything we tried tasted great, the service was friendly, and the café itself is beautifully decorated and unique. That said, the price point is a bit higher than I'm used to, especially considering the portion sizes. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Stopped in for breakfast to get a coffee and a croissant. Specifically pistachio but they only had pistachio chocolate which was good but not as good as the original. The place was packed and hard to find a spot to sit. We did get the avocado toast which was also very good. Service was fast and once you found a place to sit it was fine. Lots of stairs and corners to sit in. Definitely a good place for breakfast. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 ! read more

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. read more

We were a bit alarmed that almost every item on the menu had smashed avocado, but we climbed the steps to Tommy Cafe with an open mind. Being a Saturday morning, there was a good mix of couples and families. The line was to the door, but the wait to order didn't seem too long. We order the breakfast croissant, with smashed avocado, Nutella cronut and a couple of espressos. We took our espressos and cronut to the second floor, where we found a nice table at the top to the stairs. The cronut had a coating of granulated sugar, different from the glaze we're used to in the States. The breakfast croissant, smashed avocado, prosciutto, and all, was fantastic!
