Review Summary

Café Alphabet is a popular destination in Montreal’s Mile End, widely recognized for its vibrant atmosphere and high quality beverage program, particularly its specialty Greek-inspired freddo drinks and excellent matcha. Many visitors appreciate the welcoming staff and the cozy, aesthetic decor that makes it a great spot for both socializing and remote work, though its popularity often leads to significant crowds and limited seating. While the vast majority of patrons praise the craftsmanship of the coffee, the consistent attention to detail, and the delicious selection of pastries, some reviews suggest that the busy environment can occasionally be noisy or crowded. Overall, it is frequently described as a community-focused neighborhood gem that balances tradition with a modern, trendy appeal.

Coffee was very good. Had a flat white. My friend had same with but with plant milk . Which I found a bit pricey compared to other coffee roasters . Not sure why. It's the same plant based brand. There's a big choice right now in the city. A lot of good coffee places. & most coffee roasters do use double shots for their coffee . Not sure if I would go back.

Seul café du coin qui est ouvert à 7:00 le matin, j'adore. Sauf que le café filtre goûte étrange, je pensais que c'était le lait qui avait expiré, mais c'est vraiment le café qui goûte & sent le lait caillé. J'en ai discuté avec d'autres personnes & je ne suis pas la seule à penser cela.

A staff was very good & enthusiastic (English speaking man, seems to be Italian?). I ordered a dirty chai freddo at first & gave a tip, but the taste was not for me, I didn't like it, I took a sip & returned it to the staff. I didn't ask them to remake it or compensate. The English speaking staff took the initiative to call me back & remade a sugar-free latte for me. He did a good job! I was not in a good mood at first, but he made me a new sugar-free latte & I felt his attitude & his enthusiasm. He said "they are happy if the customers are happy." I don't really care about a cup of coffee (I am a serious coffee lover), I think his attitude is very good & I am happy. I don't particularly like the taste of your coffee shop, but I like the attitude of this staff.

Tried the viral Freddie cap & it was good- very strong coffee taste. Would come back to try their matcha version! Keep in mind that it is a somewhat small & tightly packed cafe ( visited on a Sunday morning )
