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.

I had to see the hype! They are friendly & serve with a smile! I wish I had videoed the prep & presentation before they gave it to me because they were like artists! I got the Fredo Zesto & if you aren't awake before that you will be after. I tried my husband's mocha & it was smooth! I see why now its a popular place. We were fortunate to get a corner table but there's also a seating area outside, no table. I would definitely go back. They are serious about their coffee & it shows.

This place was at the top of my list to visit on my Montreal itinerary, & it did not disappoint! The server was very attentive & sweet, as were the workers (one of the co-owners was working, & made my drink, he had the most charming energy & morale; & the server knew sign language!). That is top customer service! The drink was very good, the vibe was good, & they create a "be present" charm to their cafe, to get people to engage with each other. I will definitely be coming back! I wish they do more unique drink concoctions like the Pink Drink, year round!

I visited Café Alphabet for the first time yesterday after seeing it all over social media, & I WILL DEFINITELY BE COMING BACK! I tried the matcha, even though I'm not usually a fan, & IT WAS AMAZING. But what truly sets Alphabet apart isn't just the incredible drinks; it's the people. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles & a genuine sense of hospitality. They take the time to make sure every cup is perfect, & you can tell they really care about & enjoy what they do. The aesthetic inside is stunning, & between their unique coffee blends & trendy merch, I honestly felt like I had been transported to a coffee shop in Greece! If you're looking for a coffee shop with amazing drinks & even better vibes, you absolutely need to visit Alphabet. You won't be disappointed!

J'ai découvert ce café en venant habiter à Montréal. Outre les cafés aussi beau que bon & le lieu où se trouve cet endroit qui offre un très bon cadre pour déguster sa commande, les clients sont extrêmement gentils er avenant à l'image des managers & des baristas. Ils n'hésiteront pas à engager des discussions avec vous, ce qui vous fera un peu sentir chez vous. Je le recommande fortement.

Swish café on Bernard. Busy. Good latté. Comfortable seating. Pleasant space. Average scone (like every other café, except Café Santropol).

I did not enjoyed the whipped/heavily frothed milk in my iced coffee :/. M I also felt that it was too expensive. I paid over $12 for just the iced coffee & a muffin.

Cute looking cafe. Tried the matcha freddo, latte freddo & some pastries. Freddo was just okay, looked cute but doesn't stay cute for long. Matcha flavor was very mild & too sugary. Latte freddo was kind of a disappointment, didn't taste all that good. Croissant was alright.

I tried the freddo cappuccino & it looked amazing but the taste was just not there. The espresso was terrible. So disappointing because service is top notch & the place is cool

Popped by after seeing an insta reel. Gotta say the Fredo Cap was really quite good. These guys know their coffee. You can pick up coffee grounds & some grind advice on your way out.
