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.
The freddo culture is just so real. Best Greek coffee I've ever tasted & that freddo top is perfection. Great vibes, always want to go back on a sunny day, grab my coffee & chill. Absolutely amazing vibes
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!
If you love matcha... this IS the place to grt your matcha. If you havent been, try it ASAP. 10/10 !!! Amazing services, atmosphere & vibe. Perfect for summer.
very nice & cozy cafe! the freddo is pretty good, love the vibe & the owner's friendliness!! we're all from toronto & saw this place on tiktok so decided to come check it out :) would definitely come back if I have a chance 💕

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.
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!

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
I came here around October, just as it was starting to get cold out, & I wanted to get the Freddo cappuccino because I saw it all over social media, & I thought it'd be okay since it'd be a warm, cozy cafe. I also got a pistachio cookie. Both were really good. However, they had their huge windows open the entire time I was there & my friend & I got colder by the minute & starting putting our coats & scarves back on, & I even noticed that one of the baristas put a hoodie over their t-shirt. We also noticed that the owners had their coats on. & yet, none of the staff thought to close the windows. It was a bit odd, & we had to leave earlier than we wanted to because we were frozen & worried we'd get sick. This obviously won't be an issue now that it's winter, but just a note for the owners to keep in mind when gets nicer out again. Other than that, this cafe is very vibey inside but not good for studying/reading as there isn't much space & the music is a bit loud, & usually pretty crowded, so better to get a coffee on the go or sit outside when the patio is open. Hope to come back once it's warm again.

From the moment I first set foot in Alphabet, I sensed it held a special place in my heart. Everything, from their exquisite coffee to their exceptional staff, from the inviting ambiance to their warm hospitality, is top-notch. As an ardent coffee lover who can't imagine life without it, I cherish this place wholeheartedly. It's where I bring all my friends, & where I often find solace alone with a good book & the joyful company of dogs. Each day spent here exudes nothing but positive vibes.
Ordered a mocha & it did not taste like coffee or chocolate. It tasted like hot milk & nothing else to be honest. Other items could have been better but it was a miss for this one. Fortunately, the lady who served me was nice & friendly, however, I did not really like the vibe at all.
