I stumbled upon Cafe Alphabet while walking through the neighborhood & decided to stop in for a quick afternoon pick-me-up. The atmosphere is very laid back & the decor has a unique charm that makes it easy to sit with a book for a few hours. My latte was prepared perfectly with the right temperature & a smooth finish. The staff seemed friendly & welcoming to everyone who walked through the door. I will definitely be making this a regular spot for my remote work days because the seating is comfortable & the wifi is reliable.

I am a bit of a coffee snob so I am usually pretty critical of local cafes. Cafe Alphabet really impressed me with their consistency & attention to detail. The espresso has a nice depth to it & they do not burn the milk which is a common issue elsewhere. The tables are spaced out well enough that you do not feel crowded by other customers. This is exactly the kind of neighborhood business that deserves to succeed. I plan on bringing my friends here next weekend to check out their food options.

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.

Cafe Alphabet stole my heart so whenever I am in the area I pop in for a signature latte or their baked goodies. Love the ambiance of this spot, my only wish is that would have more seating. Highly recommend!

Neighbourhood gem! Great coffee & lovely service. Clearly a favourite with locals who also bring their four legged friends as a bonus. Tried the blueberry maple latte - surprisingly delicious & not too sweet.
