Café Alphabet is widely praised as a welcoming, stylish spot with top notch coffee and a diverse menu of Freddo, matcha, and baked goods. The vibe is warm, cozy, modern with a Greek inspired touch, and the space feels both instagrammable and comfortable for reading, working, or socializing. The staff are repeatedly described as friendly, attentive, and generous, creating a strong sense of community and hospitality. While drinks and pastries earn high marks, some reviewers note occasional misses like overly sweet matcha, foam that lacks fullness, or crowds that make seating and pacing rough. There are comments about price being a bit high but fair given quality, and some feedback about neighborhood impact and the need for clearer crowd control. The Freddo and matcha beverages are signature items with particular praise for the creamy foam and smooth textures, and pastries like carrot cake and spanakopita are highlighted. Overall Café Alphabet is described as a standout and a must visit for coffee lovers, with many eager to return and some hoping for broader recognition.
I was there with many friends, & I loved the district! The service of this cafe is excellent! The coffee I've had has a very special taste & the secret of it is: made with love! ☕?😊
From the cozy atmosphere to the incredible coffee, every visit feels special. The Freddo Cappuccino is a game-changer, & the staff always makes you feel like family. If you haven't been yet, you're missing out! Definitely my go-to spot! 🫶🏽☕?😘
absolutely love Alphabet Café! The atmosphere is warm & welcoming staff are incredibly lovely. Service is consistently great. Coffee is top-notch, & you can really taste the quality, especially with their unique coffee blends. It's clear they put a lot of care into what they do. If you're looking for a cozy spot & a good coffee or even a matcha this is the place to be! Highly recommend it!
Firstly I didn't plan to visit this cafe. As I'm walking out of the Bernie Beigne donut store across the street I noticed this lovely cafe packed to the gills so much so that there was steam on the windows. Thanks to having fresh donuts in my possession I thought that I should check this place out as it seems "cool" & if I'm inspired, why not marry a good cup of "Joe" to my donuts - right So we got in line & we were served by Tony (an owner) & he was really cool. Also very patient. Why you ask? Because I don't know all the "cafe lingo" & basically asked for a decaf cappuccino & a decaf cup of coffee with two cream & a sweetener. This had to be explained to me how a simple cup of decaf coffee would be prepared - I'm like "as long as it's coffee in a cup I do t care how are what you do" & with a friend warm smile it was done. As we waiting to be served our coffees to the right where the other partner manages the outbound side of the business - he too was super friendly & warm & also speaks Greek too! Interior is clean, cosy, intimate, chic, & smells divine. All you want to do is find a cosy spot & drink you coffee & & drink more coffees & just relax in this busy happening little gem of a place to relax & enjoy an amazing selection brand they use to make super premium coffee. Yes, the quality of their beans have to be at the level of a European cafe. The nose was clean & crisp with perfect balance. Just smelling the coffee puts a smile on my face. But drinking this coffee is something special. I highly recommend your first sip to be a calm mindful one. Why? You need to give a little respect to the craft. You deserve the pleasure enjoy all aspects of their high quality coffee & just relax. Don't rush this. Savour the experience as this is not Tim Horton, Starbucks, second cup etc - this is what coffee should be in this city. This is also a great place for a first or any date for that matter. & don't be shy, the owners are young & outgoing friendly down to earth people who love to hear (good or bad - not that this happens lol) feedback from their clients as their focus is that the customer experience is like no other.
A Coffee Worth Every Sip! This coffee is nothing short of perfection. From the very first sip, the balance of flavors is remarkable-smooth, rich, & just the right amount of boldness. What truly sets it apart, however, is its craftsmanship. The foam art on top isn't just visually stunning; it actually lasts until the very end, thanks to the impeccably curated blend & texture. It's a testament to the skill & attention to detail that goes into every cup here. If you're looking for a coffee that not only tastes exceptional but also feels like a true work of art, this is it. Highly recommended!
Came into a busy shop on Boxing Day. They served the line up quickly. The tables cleared out by the time we got our drinks. The Freddo Noel (hot) is a delicious peppermint coffee. The hot chocolate was perfect. Their frothed milk is the creamiest I have ever seen. Friendly & efficient service. Wonderful place to visit. Highly recommended.
I visited Café Alphbet after seeing all the TikTok hype, & it definitely drew a crowd! I asked the barista for a suggestion & went with the holiday Greek coffee with a cream topping-it was like dessert in a cup & possibly a little to sweet for coffee. My boyfriend opted for the hot chocolate with the same cream topping & really enjoyed his as well. While it was a bit pricey & not the best coffee I had in Montréal, it was still delicious & worth trying. Be prepared to wait in line, though-the place is always busy. The friendly & welcoming staff made the experience even better!
Coffee was very good. Had a flat white. My friend had same with but with plant milk . Which I found a bit pricey compared to other coffee roasters . Not sure why. It's the same plant based brand. There's a big choice right now in the city. A lot of good coffee places. & most coffee roasters do use double shots for their coffee . Not sure if I would go back.

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.
Tried the viral Freddie cap & it was good- very strong coffee taste. Would come back to try their matcha version! Keep in mind that it is a somewhat small & tightly packed cafe ( visited on a Sunday morning )
