Café Alphabet is described as a lively, stylish neighborhood café with outstanding coffee and a standout matcha program, including the famous freddo and a range of pastries. The vibe is welcoming and energetic, making it a popular destination in Mile End where visitors feel at home, though seating can be limited and crowds can be heavy, and the space can be loud at times. The staff are consistently praised for friendly, attentive service and helpful recommendations, and the café roasts its own beans and sells merch. Some reviews note a focus on social media and crowds, giving the impression the experience is driven by buzz rather than quiet relaxation.

This place was at the top of my list to visit on my Montreal itinerary, & it did not disappoint! The server was very attentive & sweet, as were the workers (one of the co-owners was working, & made my drink, he had the most charming energy & morale; & the server knew sign language!). That is top customer service! The drink was very good, the vibe was good, & they create a "be present" charm to their cafe, to get people to engage with each other. I will definitely be coming back! I wish they do more unique drink concoctions like the Pink Drink, year round!
I visited Café Alphabet for the first time yesterday after seeing it all over social media, & I WILL DEFINITELY BE COMING BACK! I tried the matcha, even though I'm not usually a fan, & IT WAS AMAZING. But what truly sets Alphabet apart isn't just the incredible drinks; it's the people. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles & a genuine sense of hospitality. They take the time to make sure every cup is perfect, & you can tell they really care about & enjoy what they do. The aesthetic inside is stunning, & between their unique coffee blends & trendy merch, I honestly felt like I had been transported to a coffee shop in Greece! If you're looking for a coffee shop with amazing drinks & even better vibes, you absolutely need to visit Alphabet. You won't be disappointed!
J'ai découvert ce café en venant habiter à Montréal. Outre les cafés aussi beau que bon & le lieu où se trouve cet endroit qui offre un très bon cadre pour déguster sa commande, les clients sont extrêmement gentils er avenant à l'image des managers & des baristas. Ils n'hésiteront pas à engager des discussions avec vous, ce qui vous fera un peu sentir chez vous. Je le recommande fortement.
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.
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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My boyfriend & I had the best experience at café Alphabet, we live in Toronto & come to Montreal to visit family & try new places, I was very much happy about the atmosphere & service & attitudes. Everyone was enjoying the experience & how friendly staff was & I being a Greek , was very happy that I can get a taste of home in this amazing café. FREDO MATCHA was delicious & refreshing. Definitely added to the list to keep coming back to every year 👌
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.
I came here after seeing this cafe blow up on tik tok. Honestly, I don't think I will be coming back. The beans used are not my favourite, a bit more of an acidic/zesty taste which I am not the biggest fan of. We also took two scones, & both were alright. I don't think these are made in house. That being said, the spot is cute, & the barista was nice.
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.
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!
Had amazing coffee here. Great staff & also amazing crowd. Coming from Toronto & experiencing great coffee shops there, I highly recommend Aplhabet Cafe here in Montreal.
