Café Alphabet is described as a lively, stylish neighborhood café with outstanding coffee and a standout matcha program, including the famous freddo and a range of pastries. The vibe is welcoming and energetic, making it a popular destination in Mile End where visitors feel at home, though seating can be limited and crowds can be heavy, and the space can be loud at times. The staff are consistently praised for friendly, attentive service and helpful recommendations, and the café roasts its own beans and sells merch. Some reviews note a focus on social media and crowds, giving the impression the experience is driven by buzz rather than quiet relaxation. Overall Café Alphabet is seen as setting a high standard for a modern community coffee shop in Montreal, with many calling it a must visit and a place to return for great drinks and hospitality.
As someone who usually isn't a fan of matcha, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the matcha at this coffee shop. Additionally, their pastries were absolutely delicious-fresh & full of flavor. This place has definitely won me over!
Had amazing coffee here. Great staff & also amazing crowd. Coming from Toronto & experiencing great coffee shops there, I highly recommend Aplhabet Cafe here in Montreal.
Wow !! I've never had a Freddo Cappuccino before & let me tell you that it will not be the last time! The coffee was everything I imagined, it was so decadent. The baristas were extremely nice. When we ordered he offered to make our coffee a bit sweeter which was such a good decision. Also, when I came to pick up the coffee he told me to come up to the counter so that I could see him put the frothed cold milk & he did not mind me filming the process. It's great to go to a coffee shop or even a restaurant & see that the people working there are passionate about what they're doing & always in a good mood. I loved how accessible the owners were, one of them came up to us just to talk when we were outside which was really nice. In general, the atmosphere was very lively & relaxed at the same time, the choice of music with the background noise of people outside enjoying the sun was perfect. Would 110% come back & try the Freddo Matcha.
This coffee shop has the best atmosphere, quaint & comfortable! The coffee was exceptional, couldn't resist a few refills! Will definitely be going back to try all their different types! Their coffee is not only delicious, but it's a work of art! The staff was so friendly & welcoming, it was such a pleasure to sit at their counter on a sunny afternoon & have a chat with the baristas. What a great place to go with friends, or even alone just to enjoy a quiet afternoon with a great cup of coffee!
Not a fan of the mile end blend because I like coffee's with strong profiles, but Ambros coffee's like Spyro & Enzo are the best coffee's I have ever had. The coffee shop is crowded because of the wonderful & personalized experience they give to their customers. Have never been able to sit down & enjoy a coffee there because of it's popularity, but i'm sure it's a nice ambiance when it's calm & you can take your time to sip on the coffee. To go cups are a tad small for the price. Freddo's are very good. Nice choice of pastries.
I heard about this new coffee shop so I wanted to try it out. WOW! Highly recommend!!! It's a charming, small family owned business with great coffee. I tried the Greek Freddo coffee & I loved it. Doesn't have much in terms of food but their pastries are to die for, especially "Mom's special cookie"
Great coffee shop with strong coffee. Loved their Freddo Capp & Zesto Capo. Not a good place to work on your laptop as there are only limited seats for laptop. They encourage you to have coffee socially rather than work there. Greek vibe all the way!
Alphabet is my favorite Cafe. The quality of the coffee is amazing ! The atmosphere is so welcoming & the cafe really stands out from all the other coffee shops in the city. The staff is friendly & always make you feel like home ☕️🤍

Best coffee shop in town! Owned by two brothers that are so so so welcoming 👌🏼 Try the Freddo Zesto if you get the chance. It's hot coffee with cold foam on TOP & it's out of this world! Thank me later.
