The banana matcha was absolutely overrated. Just tasted like banana milk, no matcha… but the place was cute & the owner was super kind.View more

I came into café alphabet expecting to experience one of the best's coffee shops in Montreal. I was a little disappointed, sadly.
We ordered two matcha lattes with oat milk & one hot Freddo coffee as well as two biscotti, one almond cookie & one salt chocolate chip cookie.
I didn't enjoy the matcha lattes. As soon as I tasted the matcha I knew it was camellia sinensis. Then I turned around & guess what they were selling… camellia sinensis matcha. I feel like it tasted cheap & powdery or dry. It wasn't creamy. I would recommend for them to try the matcha from Monsieur thé or @Matcha for a richer matcha menu. The camellia one is very underwhelming in my opinion. Both drinks weren't really hot , they were leaning more towards ambient temperature/cold which surprised me since I saw them doing it in front of me.
The Freddo coffee (which they are famous for) was alright. The grains they use have an actually enjoyable & distinct taste. The coffee was good & the taste was particular to them. Sadly I didn't feel like the foam was foamy enough, the minute I started sipping it disintegrated, & it didn't really add to the overall taste of the coffee. It felt like a normal latte. I honestly would like to try their latte & see if I could taste the difference between the two.
The cookies were alright. I didn't enjoy the chocolate chip & salt one, I felt like the chocolate chips they used weren't dark enough so the salt overpowered the cookie & it ended up tasting like a butter & salt cookie instead. The almond cookie & the biscotti were good.
The music was a bit loud & the coffee shop was pretty packed even tho we came in the afternoon. It didn't feel like a comfortable ambiance. Not really a place to relax or have a calm conversation after a walk. It felt like a New York coffee shop.
The service was pretty good, the guys were smiling & explaining the menu to us even though there was people waiting in line, which I appreciated.
Overall I wasn't surprised & I don't think this is a coffee shop for everyone.View more

Tried the Freddo Cap & it did not disappoint. Not an option you see at most coffee shops & the outside seating area is great for a quick stop to enjoy your coffee.View more

J'aime beaucoup le Café Alphabet ! L'ambiance est dynamique & agréable, ça change des cafés habituels. Le service est toujours excellent : on prend le temps de bien répondre à mes questions. J'aime tellement leur café que j'achète mes grains directement chez eux. L'endroit est moderne, bien décoré, & parfaitement à sa place dans le Mile-End, un quartier créatif & vivant.
Seul petit bémol : je trouve leurs desserts un peu trop sucrés à mon goût. Sinon, tout est top !View more

Beautiful location, great service & delicious drinks! They were very busy, but still very quick & efficient! They also have a TV (in a painting frame) that was playing SpongeBob (LOVE♡).View more
