Many visitors praise the welcoming atmosphere, the friendly and passionate staff, and the charming, modern aesthetic that makes it a standout community hub.

Hands down the best coffee shop in the city, from the quality of their coffee to their impeccable service & friendly faces. As a Greek & avid freddo enjoyer this is the closest thing you'll get to a top quality freddo outside Greece. Their Matchas & other drinks are simply sensational as well, & they also have seasonal special drinks; highly recommend people to come here & support local businesses!

Visited from Vancouver last summer; still dreaming about my coffee from Cafe Alphabet. The ambiance, the charm, this cafe is so worth a visit. Also highly recommend their baked goods especially the carrot cake.

Bonjour, j'ai essayé pour la première fois le Café Alphabet. J'ai pris le matcha à la banane & il était délicieux ; on sentait bien le goût du matcha. J'ai aussi pris un pain au chocolat, & c'est le meilleur que j'ai goûté à Montréal. Je recommande fortement de l'essayer si vous êtes de passage, car ça en vaut vraiment la peine & le personnel est super accueillant.

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!

We got a strawberry matcha & a Freddo cap & they were the best matcha/coffee we've had in Montreal. The service was amazing, the gentleman taking our order was very friendly & helpful & it made our experience all the better. We can't wait to come back again & try more of the menu. 10/10 recommend this cafe!

Really cool modern cafe with a great vibe. The staff is young & super friendly, which makes the place feel very welcoming. I've been coming here for a while now & the experience is always consistently good, it's definitely not just a one-time thing. Highly recommend if you're in the area.

P.S. Catherine you're great!

We went to this coffee shop last week, & truly loved it! Tony (one of the owners) was very kind to help us pick some of their coffee beans they sell as they roast their own beans (Ambros Coffee Co). Looking forward to go back & try more of their in house specialty coffees & matcha & some more beans. The atmosphere is lovely & the staff are all very knowledgeable & welcoming. Highly recommend if you are in Montreal

Good espresso served hot as it should be. Very crowded. I would recommend if you're in the area & want a quick espresso but this place is not suitable for meeting up with people due to the crowds. There is seating but staff encourage you to move along to make way for others
