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.
Very nice place with excellent service. & beautiful atmosphere. Very friendly owners. Ready to assist you & answer all your questions Regarding their products
Café urbain au décor de goût simple mais un peu mainstream (très pinterest). Le café cortado est beaucoup trop faible au goût & servi dans un très petit verre. Peu de choix d'accompagnement en terme de nourriture & rien d'innovant. Bonne musique mais endroit surpeuplé. C'est bien pour prendre un café rapidement ou entre amis debout sur la terrasse ou trottoir. À déconseiller pour relaxer seul.
Alphabet is my absolute favorite coffee haven! Every visit feels like a warm hug for my soul. The baristas are like coffee wizards, turning every cup into a magical experience. The cozy ambiance & friendly staff make it my go-to spot for both catch-ups with friends & solitary escapes with a good book. & let's not forget the four-legged friends that add an extra sprinkle of joy! This place is my happy space, & I wouldn't trade it for anything. Much love to the Alphabet team!" ☕🐾❤️
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.
J'avais peut être de trop haute attente en lien avec les bons commentaires sur les réseaux sociaux. Très beau café, ambiance très sympa. Le staff est gentil & courtois. Seul bémol, je suis peut-être difficile sur mon matcha, mais clairement le goût était celui d'un matcha brûlé (eau trop chaude), un peu déçue. Le freddo cappucino était bon!

Expérience classique & agréable pour un café dans le Mile-End ! Avec une équipe compétente & serviable, profitez d'un café & d'une viainoiserie en regardant un épisode de Seinfeld ou en prenant le tout pour apportez. La terasse à l'avant est parfaite pour un tête-à-tête d'automne.

A must visit when you are in Montreal! My combination experience of banana cake & lattee was amazing ! When you don't have to put sugar to enjoy a lattee you know the coffee is seriously good! Bravo to Cafe Alphabet! Atmosphere & music was the icing on it all! Will be back !!
Je suis venue à café alphabet avec ma cousine & son oiseau. Nous avons été super bien accueilli, le personnel est adorable & nos boissons délicieuses ! Un réel coup de cœur pour ce café, je vous le recommande fortement.

Leur latte avoine est délicieux & les employés sont souriants & chaleureux! Superbe terrasse pour siroter son verre entre amis, en plus d’une joli déco intérieure. J’y retournerai certainement!

I hate giving places I like 5 stars bc then they get overcrowded with people who are not native to Montreal i.e., Toronto slime, but this place is 5 stars. Enjoy you vultures.
only ended up here because i was irate after getting lost trying to navigate some horrible maze of construction in this heatwave & decided to settle for the nearest cafe, but it’s better than where i was trying to go in the first place
matcha freddo was mellow & calming. i typically am lukewarm to western matcha drinks but it really is that good. maybe it was fate to get lost to have this…?
