?Café Alphabet in Mile End is easily one of the standout espresso bars in Montreal, but what truly sets it apart is its genuine, world-class hospitality.
?During a visit on Monday, August 17th, co-owner Tom took the experience to a whole new level. I was craving an iced Freddo Espresso, & Tom went above & beyond to customize it perfectly to my exact taste-delivering an expertly pulled shot with a velvety, rich foam layer & a crystal-clear espresso profile that hit every single note.
?The space itself brings a lively, stylish Greek-inspired café energy, but it's the passion, precision, & personal touch from the owners that make it a total must-visit. If you're looking for high-end coffee crafted by people who truly care about their patrons, seek out Tom at Café Alphabet. You won't be disappointed.

Place is trendy & very busy with people studying--we had to wait for a table to free up. We only came for their matcha freddo, which i already had once before & remembered liking it. This time around, it wasn't amazing & it also costed 8$ for a small cup of matcha with 50% light foam. I didnt find the drink sweet, nor the foam but the matcha was good quality. I guess i'd recommend for you to ask for sweetener in your matcha if u have a sweet tooth.

We came for the coffee & stayed for the smiles! Everyone has such great energy, the coffee is delicious, & the silky foam adds a nice touch. We'll definitely be back! I didn't get the chance to try the other drinks this time, but I'm looking forward to coming back for them.

This is your place if you're craving overpriced ice cubes. I had the matcha latte fredo & between the thick foam & the enormous amount of ice cubes, two sips latter there was nothing left to drink. It was extremely disappointing. I honestly feel ripped off -8 bucks fro what was essentially a cup of frozen water with a splash of matcha.

The matcha cold foam tasted like nothing, & the matcha itself was a bit too watered down.

Have been wanting to go forever & finally did it! The atmosphere is definitely the best part about this place. I got a hot chocolate which I loved, but my friend got an iced chai latte with foam & it taste a little spicy & a little odd. But the foam art is amazing!

This is a personal taste rating. I got an iced caramel Freddo latte & unfortunately I had to trash it due to it tasting like straight up syrup with no distinct flavor. However my sister said her regular hot latte was good. I thought the cold foam they put on top would have more flavor but it didn't taste like anything. The Ferrero rocher cookie cup was also good. I'm glad I tried it even if my drink wasn't good. The cashier was also helpful & suggested my sister choose a latte instead of a cappuccino since she wanted a sweeter drink.
