Review Summary

Café Alphabet has established itself as a premier destination in Montreal, beloved for its authentic Greek inspired coffee culture and exceptional hospitality. Visitors consistently praise the high quality of their signature Freddo beverages and expertly crafted matcha, noting that the velvety cold foam and rich espresso profiles create a truly standout experience. While the space is frequently busy and vibrant, which can sometimes lead to limited seating and a lively noise level, the welcoming atmosphere and the genuine passion of the owners make it a must visit location. The consistent attention to detail in their roasting process, paired with a stylish, community focused environment, ensures that patrons feel valued, whether they are stopping in for a quick drink or settling in for a comfortable work session.

It's nice place but too crowded, not feeling comfortable sitting at the entrance. But besides that the place has nice ambiance. Recommended :)

What an incredible place! I truly enjoyed my visit & ended up spending a couple of hours here getting some work done. The atmosphere was welcoming, the food & drinks were outstanding, & it was great to see such a steady flow of happy customers.

I had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners, & you could immediately tell how much pride he takes in the business-& rightfully so. Everything from the quality of the products to the customer experience has clearly been thought through. They have truly mastered their craft.

If my travels bring me back to the area, this will absolutely be one of my first stops. Highly recommended!

We do not live in Montréal, however either we have family there, or we pass through to visit other family elsewhere. & whenever we are in the area, we make sure we visit Café Alphabet. Not only do we enjoy the superior quality of the food & drink they serve us, the staff themselves are typically delightful individuals who make us feel welcomed & sure that we enjoy our time there. Typically, it's a really fun place to spend some downtime, drink some really good coffee, & taste something delicious. It certainly helps us enjoy each other when it's this good. I recommend checking it out for yourself.

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.

This place is worth the hype! We absolutely loved the Freddo Lattes. We also got a small coconut tarte that was exquisite! They allow dogs on the terrace & we got our dog a pupcup which he loved. The music was also honestly super nice. Staff is friendly. We loved the experience & would definitely recommend.

Honestly one of the best places to grab a drink in the city. The vibe at Cafe Alphabet is super chill & the lighting is perfect if you need to focus on some computer work. I ordered an iced americano & a pastry which were both fresh & delicious. It is clear that the owners put a lot of heart into the design & the menu selection. It is not often you find a business that balances great products with such a genuine friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend stopping by if you are in the area.

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.
