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.
The freddo culture is just so real. Best Greek coffee I've ever tasted & that freddo top is perfection. Great vibes, always want to go back on a sunny day, grab my coffee & chill. Absolutely amazing vibes
I've been a few times & it's always been popular but ever since they went viral on TikTok it's even busier!! I would avoid weekends bc of that! Decent coffee, cute spot with outdoor seating. I finally tried their freddos (the milk foam), I got the matcha & my friend had the coffee version. They definitely know what they're doing & I love how they give a lil show & make sure you have time to capture them capping the drink with the milk foam! When I had my first sip, it was overwhelmingly sweet but it did balance out after I mixed the entire drink. & then it was overly cream-tasting (which i kinda expected) but I don't recommend if you're lactose intolerant like I am. Still worth checking out if you're in the city!
I'm a big coffee drinker & I have to say, this place really hits the mark. The coffee selection is top-notch, & I was particularly impressed with everything. Expertt brewing, very refreshing. The baristas here know their stuff... & clearly passionate about coffee. This isn't just a great place for coffee lovers, it's a great spot to chill & catch up with friends. If you're looking for quality in both your cup & your experience, you'll find it here. Definitely recommend checking it out. ✅

It was extremely busy when we went, but everyone is super friendly despite the fact that it's quite chaotic to handle LOL! I find my matcha too sweet but my sister's coffee was perfect. Would still recommend overall!
This coffee shop has the best atmosphere, quaint & comfortable! The coffee was exceptional, couldn't resist a few refills! Will definitely be going back to try all their different types! Their coffee is not only delicious, but it's a work of art! The staff was so friendly & welcoming, it was such a pleasure to sit at their counter on a sunny afternoon & have a chat with the baristas. What a great place to go with friends, or even alone just to enjoy a quiet afternoon with a great cup of coffee!
Unlike most popular large chains, Alphabet Cafe not only serves a top grade of coffee, they also serve it in style & with a big smile by the amazing staff. It's worth going out of your way & I live in Laval!! Keep on keeping on! 👍 ☕️
I tried their famous pink coffee drink & it was delicious. Their regular cappucino is great too. This is a very busy spot so you might not always get a seat. The staff are super nice & friendly. Will definitely be back. Recommend highly!
Cute spot for coffee stop very popular & crowded. Probably the nicest & most welcoming owner I've encountered:) matcha latte was on point with the creamy milky foam soft & light as cloud .
One of the best Chai Latte's I've ever had in the world. Their coffee is straight from the farms as well. This is a must go spot & worth every single minute if you have to wait
