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. Overall Café Alphabet is seen as setting a high standard for a modern community coffee shop in Montreal, with many calling it a must visit and a place to return for great drinks and hospitality.
Best freddo espresso I've ever had, this place never disappoints! It's a little escape back home to Greece. Thank you for bringing the Greek coffee culture to Montreal!!

We had soo much fun at the café, everyone soo nice the service was extremely friendly & humble & made our trip to montreal memorable. The coffee was yumm I wish they were in Toronto as well it would've been our go to café for sure.
I had to see the hype! They are friendly & serve with a smile! I wish I had videoed the prep & presentation before they gave it to me because they were like artists! I got the Fredo Zesto & if you aren't awake before that you will be after. I tried my husband's mocha & it was smooth! I see why now its a popular place. We were fortunate to get a corner table but there's also a seating area outside, no table. I would definitely go back. They are serious about their coffee & it shows.

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!

I did not enjoyed the whipped/heavily frothed milk in my iced coffee :/. M I also felt that it was too expensive. I paid over $12 for just the iced coffee & a muffin.
Popped by after seeing an insta reel. Gotta say the Fredo Cap was really quite good. These guys know their coffee. You can pick up coffee grounds & some grind advice on your way out.
As someone who usually isn't a fan of matcha, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the matcha at this coffee shop. Additionally, their pastries were absolutely delicious-fresh & full of flavor. This place has definitely won me over!
Went yesterday. Music was a little bit too loud, a little hard to make conversations. They focus a lot on their relationship with their clients, they socialize with every client that comes inside. I find it smart. The cookies or « Brookie » are so good, best one I've had in a while. Their fredo drinks are really good, but if you don't like the taste of strong coffee taste ask for more creamer & sugar, coz it is strong. I appreciate the fact that they don't use paper straws because they become soggy so easily , I think they use sugarcane straws. the place is clean & pretty.
They offer a great selection of coffee.. The decor is stylish, creating a warm & inviting environment. Ideal for both solo visits & catching up with friends.
Disclaimer : So you know, 4 stars is usually my top score.. 5 is perfection & i give it rarely I like the place. It's in the batch of new coffeeshops in the neighborhood, but they managed to create a great ambiance/vibe from the getgo. The coffee is great (3rd wave) & consistent accross barristas.
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.
