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.
Currently indulging in Alphabet's signature Freddo Cappuccino-it's their take on the traditional Greek iced coffee, prepared with quality & substance, & served with a unique twist. Honestly, it's so fancy I feel like I should be on a yacht in Santorini. But hey, Montreal café will do! ☕️🇬🇷 #FreddoCappuccino #CoffeeSnob #LivingTheCaffeinatedDream

I've been here a few times & been consistently happy with the coffee, but the last time was the best. I was in the middle of moving apartments & arrived right at opening time. I was cranky & exhausted, & I looked around at the staff & they were all just... oozing joy. Huge smiles, genuine happiness, it was just lovely & massively improved my day.
le meilleur café à montréal! ça fait déjà un an que je vais au café alphabet, & je ne suis jamais déçue. les baristas sont toujours souriants & leurs cafés sont excellents. mention spécial au matcha freddo, c'est juste incroyable

Accueil pro & sympathique. De plus il vienne de mettre à la vente les babkas de "rose bombec" & ça c'est une super nouvelle pour accompagner son latte !
Definitely my favourite place in Montreal. The atmosphere, the people, matcha is the best I ever tried, the way terrace is made, & the smell of basil which is growing out there. Every detail is such a pleasant. I'll go there once again before leaving & it will be my first place to come back as well
Best freddo espresso I've ever had, this place never disappoints! It's a little escape back home to Greece. Thank you for bringing the Greek coffee culture to Montreal!!
