Many visitors praise the welcoming atmosphere, the friendly and passionate staff, and the charming, modern aesthetic that makes it a standout community hub. While the cafe is frequently busy and can get loud, leading to challenges with seating, most patrons find the experience worth the visit for the artisanal beverages and baked goods.

Beautiful location, great service & delicious drinks! They were very busy, but still very quick & efficient! They also have a TV (in a painting frame) that was playing SpongeBob (LOVE♡).

Déçu de l'infusion du café supposément fruité que j'ai pris en espresso glacé. Dial-in à revoir.

I slept on this cafe for such a long time because it always seemed to be too busy to go inside & Omg am I kicking myself for that. Yes, it's busy, with good reason!!

The staff are so welcoming & kind & for how busy it is, that is so impressive; every customer gets their moment & it is so appreciated, thank you!
The espresso is fantastic, from roast to the dial in, it always seems consistent & the barristas are well trained (I've been about 5 times now & I'm never disappointed with the espresso's notes/balance)
The milk consistency is also so so so good, I just had the best flat white I've ever had in Montreal & I've managed two specialty coffee shops in the past 5 years so that's really saying something.

Alphabet is raising the bar for Montreal coffee standards & I'm very excited to keep coming back!

If you're a matcha lover, this coffee shop is a game-changer! The matcha is top-notch - smooth & perfectly balanced. Whether you go for a classic matcha latte or something more adventurous like matcha lemonade, every sip is heavenly. The vibe is cozy & modern, with friendly staff. Plus, pastries they offer is unique & delicious. Prices are fair, especially considering the quality.

The matcha freddo hype is real! This place was packed, but still manageable to get a drink within 5 min. The matcha was slightly watery - def need more matcha powder for a stronger drink, but the foam, oh my! Lavender flavoured foam is spectacular! Definitely need more - franchise out to Toronto PLEASEEEEE

Musique trop forte. Pas agréable ni relaxant. Mon opinion...
