Review Summary

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.

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!

Probably the best coffee in the area, & the staff is awesome. Lately I've been picking up beans here, & the owners are always down to help me find something I'd like. Can't recommend this place enough 👊👊👊👊👊

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 !

The way i kept seeing everyone posting photos of this cafe, I actually had high expectation about the space inside. I would say their latte, cappuccino, chocolatine, oreo vegan cookies & a pink cookie that we took was 100% 10/10. We loved it. But just one thing is it's crazy busy & I would recommend everyone to come as early as possible. We went there after 12pm & it was cold & windy so people actually struggled sitting outside. & also inside the space is very small. Thank you🤍
