Great for light lunch

We had a late lunch here the afternoon of October 12, 2024. Counter service was friendly and efficient. The tofu sandwich, the focaccia sandwich with grilled vegetables, the savory pastry stuffed with mock beef and the pumpkin latte are all delicious. It's a casual place with a convenient location just off of Saint Denis.

I highly recommend it.

Cute with caveats

I liked this place for the most part and would give it a second try but my experience was a bit of a mixed bag. I got a tofu scramble breakfast sandwich and enjoyed the food. The sandwich was very simple, just tofu scramble on bread with some mayo. There was a leaf of lettuce and a slice of tomato on each half as well but honestly I wish there wasn’t because they put the sandwich in the panini press and warm, wilting lettuce is not delicious. Still, the bread was *fantastic* and the scramble was tasty. It was good, clean, simple food and it was served fast.

This would be a four star review except for one weird thing, which was the music they were playing. It did not seem like the place to be playing Christian contemporary music but a lot of the songs were about Jesus. As someone who isn’t of that religion I find this off-putting. If it were a place that made its religion known from the go, I would’ve minded less because at least they’re honest… but it was really weird to sit in a kind of hippie-seeming cafe that advertises open mics and other programming for the community and have to listen to music about Jesus’s blood and dying for people’s sins and all that. It made me finish my sandwich and not linger, which is too bad because I might’ve gotten a pastry if I had wanted to stick around, since I had some time to kill.

I would go back. It could be an employee picked the music and that’s not usually the vibe. But it made it hard to leave the full four stars I would’ve given Cafe Tuyo based on my sandwich alone. If my next visit improves I will update this review.

Original sandwiches and delicious pastries

I'm never disappointed by my lunch at Café Tuyo. Recommend the coffee sandwich dessert set, inexpensive and you'll be full for the day !
The flavors of the sandwiches are always great, makes it the best place to have a quick lunch in Montreal

Cute little cafe

Right around the corner from a busy street is this little oasis of calm and tasty food and coffee.

Just don't be too smell-sensitive, it smelled like frying the whole time.

Otherwise, great stop.

Maybe I got there too late?

I’m visiting from New Jersey and was super excited to come here - but was disappointed. There were only 2 baked goods left - a muffin of some sort and banana bread. I got the muffin and it was okay. I also got a latte, which was good, but nothing to write home about.

Maybe I got there too late? (2 hours before closing) or maybe they just didn’t have great options today. It’s still worth a go if you’re in the area.

cozy vegan cafe

Close to the Mount Royal subway station, so very easy access, friendly staff and nice options. Nice chai/coffee mix options.
A downside is they usually do one morning batch of goodies and when they’re gone they’re gone for the rest of the day. So depending on what you’re looking for, you might need to be there early on when it opens to guarantee some (and they might sell you limited quantities as well).

Pros: close to the subway, fairly priced

Cons: no second batches

Nice little cafe, with plenty of options. Good value for money. Unfortunately they had run out of oat milk, so we didn’t have a coffee.

Pros: Everything is vegan , Pretty place , Friendly staff

Amazing croissants and cakes

We stayed in Montreal for two days and visited Cafe Tuyo three times because we just liked it so much! We tried most of the things on the menu and liked everything, especially the croissants and small cakes. The staff was very friendly and the service was fast and efficient even though the place was quite busy. Highly recommended for everyone looking for a quick and delicious breakfast/lunch/snack!

A gem in the Plateau

I've come here many times and it's always been a pleasant experience. They offer a good variety of desserts and sandwiches (they even have Jamaican patties!) in a nice cozy atmosphere. Great spot for a quick bite or for students who want to sit there for hours.

Croissants

The croissant was very good, but the tempeh bagel was a little bit boring.

Not a lot of different pastries and cakes. Maybe they were just sold out

Delicious food

My husband and I had a great smoothie with parsley and mango, a nice hot chocolate. For food, we started with a croissant which was very nice and flaky. Then we had a baguette sandwich with an excellent crust and tasty filling. And we also shared a bagel which was freshly made for us. The service was very friendly and excellent. The setting is very cozy. It feels like an old school Vegan locals spot. Definitely recommend!

Pros: Excellent sandwiches and pastries , Friendly bilingual service, Lots of seating

Cons: No official menu - they have to tell you
