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.
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!

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. ✅
Was my first time going to this cafe. When u first walked in the worker had greeted me super friendly. She was very helpful with what I order. Also other workers were super friendly that they made my day! The drink are super yummy & the interior has great lighting for pictures!! Will be going there often :))
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!
📌Freddo Amour 🩷🩷🩷 Vanilla Strawberry with Freddo cappuccino. 📌Freddo Cappuccino The cold version of a cappuccino, & the drink has a small amount of cold frothed milk on top. The drink is available in Greece, Cyprus, & parts of Italy.
It was very busy & took quit some time to prepare my drink. I wanted to sit down but by the time my drink was ready, there was no seat left. Also got a to go cup, while i wanted to sit down. But i got the dirty chai latte & it was very good!
Had both amour coffee & matcha & it ended up just being watery drinks with a hint of flavour of strawberry from the foam. Both disappointed when paying 15$ for 2 drinks. The coffee amour was acidic & watery which didn't go well with the strawberry foam. I get that they used a shaker to add texture but it just ended up being a watery americano on ice with foam. The matcha amour was just water & matcha with foam ( taste like watery bitter vegetable with a hint of strawberry). the matcha seemed also shaken which ended up being watery matcha on ice with foam just like the coffee version.
The best thing about the viral freddo amour is the barista giving us a show, everything about the drink is mid, the matcha is so water down & the foam is genuinely just okay, the staff is nice & the price justified (not over 10$) it's cute, but you're really not missing out much honestly.

This is what I call an ideal cafe. The drinks, the service, the atmosphere are incredible. For those of us that don't drink coffee, I highly recommend their Chai Latte or their Matcha drinks. The two baristas were great as well & offered to find my seating if I wanted the drink here. The music selection & the atmosphere made for a warm, welcoming environment. Great place to study & socialize. The place was also extremely clean & well-located. Can't recommend enough!
Great service & atmosphere. Drinks & extras are super yuuum. The cafe is cozy & has really positive vibes❣️ i love this place & gonna add it to my favourite spots✌🏻
I've gone here a few times & every time has been fantastic ! I've had their chai latte & matcha & both were amazing. If you like foamy drinks, this is the place to go. The atmosphere of the place is nice & calm, & the service was friendly & quick whenever I visited. It's a bit more on the expensive side as far as drinks go (around 6$ for a chai) but very much worth the price for a place in Mile End.
only ended up here because i was irate after getting lost trying to navigate some horrible maze of construction in this heatwave & decided to settle for the nearest cafe, but it’s better than where i was trying to go in the first place
matcha freddo was mellow & calming. i typically am lukewarm to western matcha drinks but it really is that good. maybe it was fate to get lost to have this…?

New coffee spot around the area, from the guys behind Ambros. Great & friendly service, good coffee (try the fredo drinks) & always packed for a reason!
