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.
I have no idea why people hype up this café! i just got a simple matcha freddo, the price was fair but it tasted so bad it looked cute tho but seriously how can matcha taste bad?
We went there to try the famous Freddo drinks & it was worth the ride! Service was great & friendly! The place was welcoming in a nice & vibrant area with sitting outside to enjoy the sun.

From the beautiful interior to the consistently amazing coffee (their Freddo Cappuccino is next level!), everything is done with care & intention. I've been lucky enough to know the owner personally, & you can feel their passion in every detail-from the quality of the ingredients to the welcoming vibe that fills the space. Whether I'm grabbing a quick coffee or sitting down to get some work done, this place always hits the mark.
Café Alphabet is an absolute gem in the heart of the Mile End! From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed with warm smiles & genuine hospitality. The staff here are truly amazing, they're not only friendly & attentive, but also passionate about what they do. Whether you're a regular customer or visiting for the first time, they make you feel right at home.
The Greek inspired touch in both the drinks & ambiance adds a unique charm that sets this café apart from others in Montreal. Their Freddo Cappuccino is my personal favourite & a must-try! You can tell they put real passion into every cup.
Café Alphabet has that rare mix of great coffee, inviting atmosphere, & incredible service that makes you want to come back again & again. Highly recommend!
It's safe to say Alphabet Cafe gives the best coffee experience I have seen in Canada. This cafe is great for all types of people & ages.
Whether you like your coffee on the go or dine in you'll enjoy it if you order right…
The owners & staff are super friendly & helpful. Don't hesitate to ask them questions about the menu they're very cool & chill.
I usually get a Freddo Zesto or
✨chocolat chaud ✨plus the Foam on top. sometimes both lol. Also I enjoy it more without a straw or a flat lid. The hot drink cold foam combination is fire.
The cafe is great for journaling, networking, people watching, working, & overall enjoying a great drink.
The interior design of the cafe is gorgeous honestly. It's the little things you see everywhere you just have to pay attention. For example the frame around the tv *chefs kiss*
The owners are smart business men with genuine passion for their craft & you can see it reflected in their cafe.
The great ambiance, the engaging staff, the rewarding drink its all a 10/10 experience.

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! 🫶🏽☕?😘
Saw it on IG & said they made very good Freddo & decided to give a try. Didn't disappoint besides I forgot to ask for sugar. Went on a Saturday afternoon & the store was PACKED. Was a good spot to take out but not the best spot to hang out with friends.
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.

Totally worth the hype! Matcha Freddo with Christmas special peppermint dust, made the visit more special. Came alone but was a total vibe! I would recommend it! A little busy cafe.
Last stop in the morning for some matcha latte. It is quite a long walk from the nearest metro station but I did enjoy the walk to the location. Settled to have my drink to go. The matcha was smooth as expected with some sweetness. Enjoyed the walk back to the metro station sipping on my matcha drink. I wish I could have visited again to try thr Freddo latte!
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.
I have to be honest that the freddo matcha & freddo cappuccino are both overrated & not worth it. Even if the proceeds are meant to go for good cause, the fundraising product should still be something enjoyable. For me personally, it was just half glass of foam & then half glass of ice with very little drinkable content. Their other products seem ok so I'll leave it for others to find out. Service was great btw.
They're so quick so even if there's a small queue you'll be served fast. Everything was incredible & tasted amazing. The inside is so cozy & the staff is never rude no matter how chaotic the place can get. We got the freddo matcha & cap & it felt like sipping on a cloud. Deff worth the price (which is pretty average)
