Tony, the owner, is a certified beauty. Friendly, personable, & answered all of our questions. My wife & I got the Freddo iced chai & the banana matcha iced latte with cold foam. So good! Hope he gets to visit Calgary more one day!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

If you're a matcha lover, this coffee shop is a game-changer! The matcha is top-notch - smooth & perfectly balanced. Whether you go for a classic matcha latte or something more adventurous like matcha lemonade, every sip is heavenly. The vibe is cozy & modern, with friendly staff. Plus, pastries they offer is unique & delicious. Prices are fair, especially considering the quality.View more

What can I say...
I flew in from Athens Greece on the afternoon of April 12th & have come by here every day since for a daily incredible experience & of course delightful goodies!
From Molly's incredible Flat White to Costa's incredible honey sweetened hot Matcha Latte, to Catherine's very beautiful/ welcoming smile at the cash register & Tony's (the founder) impeccable hospitality, I already know I'm going to profoundly miss this place & it's loving energy when I return to Greece next week. God bless this place & the beautiful people in it, FOREVER!!! ♥?💙💖View more

Came for the Matcha latte, stayed because the cafe playlist was straight up heat. The guy who made my drink was a lil extra… but that's okay. Small place, not many seats. Sick vibes tho.View more

Last stop in the morning for some matcha latte. It is quite a long walk from the nearest metro station but I did enjoy the walk to the location. Settled to have my drink to go. The matcha was smooth as expected with some sweetness. Enjoyed the walk back to the metro station sipping on my matcha drink. I wish I could have visited again to try thr Freddo latte!View more

A staff was very good & enthusiastic (English speaking man, seems to be Italian?). I ordered a dirty chai freddo at first & gave a tip, but the taste was not for me, I didn't like it, I took a sip & returned it to the staff. I didn't ask them to remake it or compensate. The English speaking staff took the initiative to call me back & remade a sugar-free latte for me. He did a good job! I was not in a good mood at first, but he made me a new sugar-free latte & I felt his attitude & his enthusiasm. He said "they are happy if the customers are happy." I don't really care about a cup of coffee (I am a serious coffee lover), I think his attitude is very good & I am happy. I don't particularly like the taste of your coffee shop, but I like the attitude of this staff.View more

Swish café on Bernard. Busy. Good latté. Comfortable seating. Pleasant space. Average scone (like every other café, except Café Santropol).View more

Cute looking cafe. Tried the matcha freddo, latte freddo & some pastries. Freddo was just okay, looked cute but doesn't stay cute for long. Matcha flavor was very mild & too sugary. Latte freddo was kind of a disappointment, didn't taste all that good. Croissant was alright.View more

Le Café Alphabet est doté d'une ambiance très agréable. Latte avoine & espresso glacé délicieux. Le local est décoré avec soin, & l'espace terrasse extérieur vraiment original. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️View more

Excellent matcha & & un bon latté (autant glacé ou chaud !) Tout le monde qui travaille là est super gentil.le.s. Le seul hic (plus ou moins, victime de son succès), c'est que le café est presque toujours plein, à l'intérieur comme à l'extérieur. Toujours possible de le prendre pour emporter & il arrive qu'il y ait de la place pour se poser si vous êtes chanceux.euses. L'ambiance & la déco, sinon, est vraiment super.View more

The cafe vibe is very energetic & fun. It is quite crowded & queue a bit long. The barista is very entertaining. The coffee is nice, i tried ice latte. But another one is a bit too sweet FOR ME. Overall is cool.View more

My first visit to Alphabet Cafe was nothing short of amazing! The moment we walked in, we were greeted by a warm, friendly atmosphere & charming decor that made us feel right at home. We ordered a latte & a flat white, & both drinks were absolutely perfect. The coffee was rich, smooth, & expertly crafted. You can tell they use high-quality beans . The latte had the perfect balance of creaminess & coffee flavor, while the flat white was velvety & full-bodied. The staff were incredibly friendly & attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed & making us feel welcome. The overall vibe of the cafe is cozy & inviting, ideal for catching up with friends or just enjoying a quiet moment with a great cup of coffee. I also appreciated their commitment to sustainability, with eco-friendly practices evident throughout the cafe. It's clear that Alphabet Cafe cares about both their customers & the environment. I can't wait to return & try more of their menu offerings. Alphabet Cafe has definitely earned a new regular customer. Highly recommended!View more

Cute space ! Not a lot of sitting room so you may be out of luck when this place is busy (which it often is). I didn't try their trendy drinks but I really recommend the chai latte! Especially if you like them more on the sweeter side. Yummy soy milk too!View more

Loveee their iced matcha latte!! Iced chai latte was pretty good too - it doesn't taste like authentic chai of course but we could taste the spices in it & it's not too sweet eitheView more

i visited this cafe on sunday afternoon & it was packed. i got a blueberry scone & an oat latte. i would probably skip the scone, it wasn't my favorite. the latte was good, pretty average. also this place is very loud (they play club type music) & crowded so it wasn't my vibe. however, the people working were kind & getting through orders as quickly as they could. overall, i probably wouldn't visit again but i can appreciate the kind service!View more
Johanna
Meilleur matcha de Montréal selon moi! Surtout avec la mousse de lait... incroyable 🥹 J'ai testé deux'sucreries' & c'était bon, mais sans plus. Leur force se trouve surtout dans leurs boissons chaudes très bonnes. Le chai latte y est excellent aussi. Par contre, l'adresse est prise d'assaut... Il y a un nombre incalculable de personnes qui font la file d'attente 😅 Alors, soyez prêts à patienter.View more
