Came into a busy shop on Boxing Day. They served the line up quickly. The tables cleared out by the time we got our drinks. The Freddo Noel (hot) is a delicious peppermint coffee. The hot chocolate was perfect. Their frothed milk is the creamiest I have ever seen. Friendly & efficient service. Wonderful place to visit. Highly recommended.

Totally worth the hype! Matcha Freddo with Christmas special peppermint dust, made the visit more special. Came alone but was a total vibe! I would recommend it! A little busy cafe.

Last stop in the morning for some matcha latte. It is quite a long walk from the nearest metro station but I did enjoy the walk to the location. Settled to have my drink to go. The matcha was smooth as expected with some sweetness. Enjoyed the walk back to the metro station sipping on my matcha drink. I wish I could have visited again to try thr Freddo latte!

I visited Café Alphbet after seeing all the TikTok hype, & it definitely drew a crowd! I asked the barista for a suggestion & went with the holiday Greek coffee with a cream topping-it was like dessert in a cup & possibly a little to sweet for coffee. My boyfriend opted for the hot chocolate with the same cream topping & really enjoyed his as well. While it was a bit pricey & not the best coffee I had in Montréal, it was still delicious & worth trying. Be prepared to wait in line, though-the place is always busy. The friendly & welcoming staff made the experience even better!
