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.
The cafe vibe is very energetic & fun. It is quite crowded & queue a bit long. The barista is very entertaining. The coffee is nice, i tried ice latte. But another one is a bit too sweet FOR ME. Overall is cool.

My first visit to Alphabet Cafe was nothing short of amazing! The moment we walked in, we were greeted by a warm, friendly atmosphere & charming decor that made us feel right at home. We ordered a latte & a flat white, & both drinks were absolutely perfect. The coffee was rich, smooth, & expertly crafted. You can tell they use high-quality beans . The latte had the perfect balance of creaminess & coffee flavor, while the flat white was velvety & full-bodied. The staff were incredibly friendly & attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed & making us feel welcome. The overall vibe of the cafe is cozy & inviting, ideal for catching up with friends or just enjoying a quiet moment with a great cup of coffee. I also appreciated their commitment to sustainability, with eco-friendly practices evident throughout the cafe. It's clear that Alphabet Cafe cares about both their customers & the environment. I can't wait to return & try more of their menu offerings. Alphabet Cafe has definitely earned a new regular customer. Highly recommended!
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!
Loveee their iced matcha latte!! Iced chai latte was pretty good too - it doesn't taste like authentic chai of course but we could taste the spices in it & it's not too sweet eithe
Café Alphabet is a delightful spot nestled near Bernie Beigne, & it's truly a gem! I recently enjoyed a cup of coffee there, & the barista's attention to detail was remarkable. When he sprinkled my cinnamon, it was like watching an artist at work, creating a beautiful masterpiece atop my coffee. The atmosphere is cozy & inviting, perfect for catching up with friends or enjoying a quiet moment of relaxation. With its proximity to Bernie Beigne, it's the ideal place to start your day with a delicious coffee & a tasty treat. Café Alphabet has definitely earned a spot on my list of favorite coffee spots in town!
Café victime de sa popularité! Très achalandé mais attente acceptable! Le service est excellent (anglais & français) Goût de leur espresso vraiment original! Très bon & pas du tout amer! J'ai adoré le fredo cap 😋

i visited this cafe on sunday afternoon & it was packed. i got a blueberry scone & an oat latte. i would probably skip the scone, it wasn't my favorite. the latte was good, pretty average. also this place is very loud (they play club type music) & crowded so it wasn't my vibe. however, the people working were kind & getting through orders as quickly as they could. overall, i probably wouldn't visit again but i can appreciate the kind service!
Une expérience café remarquable! Le café est excellent & le service personnalisé est incomparable. L'accueil est chaleureux & attentionné. Sans aucun doute, mon premier choix pour mes cafés glacés matinaux. Je recommande vivement!
Meilleur matcha de Montréal selon moi! Surtout avec la mousse de lait... incroyable 🥹 J'ai testé deux'sucreries' & c'était bon, mais sans plus. Leur force se trouve surtout dans leurs boissons chaudes très bonnes. Le chai latte y est excellent aussi. Par contre, l'adresse est prise d'assaut... Il y a un nombre incalculable de personnes qui font la file d'attente 😅 Alors, soyez prêts à patienter.
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
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!
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!

Avec un accueil & une passion débordante pour le café, Tom nous a conseillé son café. Même si je n'aime pas le café mon conjoint a beaucoup apprécié les différents cafés proposés, moi j'ai opté pour un chai latte qui était un des meilleurs dégusté jusqu'à aujourd'hui. Belle adresse Merci pour l'ambiance cosy & chaleureuse
I absolutely adore this establishment. Everything was amazing, from the cheese croissants to the coffee. The staff are one of best in Montreal, extremely attentive & sweet. I promise you, coming here will be one of the best decisions you make. Lots of love for the staff & the cafe ❤️
One of the best coffee spots in the city. I had a latte, wife had a matcha. Both were excellent. Cool vibe inside, great neighbourhood.... I just wish there was more seating indoors.
J'ai découvert le café Alphabet après avoir déménagé dans le quartier cet été peu après leur ouverture. J'ai tout de suite accrocher avec l'ambiance, & quand j'ai vu qu'il faisait le Freddo Cap, cela m'a toute de suite replongé en Grèce lors de mon voyage là-bas. Je n'en avais pas bu depuis plusieurs années. Je suis revenue plusieurs fois, & j'ai commencé à connaître Tony & Tommy, les propriétaires du café & du torréfacteur Ambros. Je m'attendais pas à devenir très bonne amie avec eux, mais leur accueil chaleureux, leur bonne humeur & leur bienveillance m'ont conquis. Ils sont toujours très attentifs au besoin de leur clientèle, & permettre à tout le monde de trouver une place pour jaser, socialiser & apprécier le moment présent. C'est plus qu'un café, c'est un moment partagé avec tous les gens qui vont là-bas, & il y a de belles rencontres qui se font. Tom & Tony sont reconnaissant de leur clients, & leur party de Noël qu'ils ont organisés étaient à leur manière un geste pour remercier leur plus proches clients. Je peux dire sans hésitation que c'est ma découverte 2023 en restauration pour l'ambiance, le café de qualité & les viennoiseries & pâtisseries. Je vous recommande fortement d'y passer & de venir boire un freddo (l'essayer c'est l'adopter, & qui sait vous m'y verrez peut-être :P). Si vous n'aimez pas le café, ils ont créé un Freddo Matcha qui est incroyable. Je suis une grande fan & une adepte d'Alphabet !
All the staff members are beyond nice & attentive. They make you feel welcome right away! The matcha is some of the best in town & the vibe is always impeccable. 10/10
