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.
Le meilleur matcha que j'ai bu dans montréal ! Il est parfaitement crémeux & savoureux. Le barista est une crème (un comble !) : généreux & souriant. Son enthousiasme & son amour du métier subliment l'expérience gustative. Mon nouveau spot préféré !
Belle place, très petite par contre. Le matcha banane incroyable.le service ok rien d'exceptionnel. Les prix sont quand même dans le pricey side. Je recommande pour essayer mais rien de wow.
* Update désolé j'ai été servi un spinakopita*
This place is viral for a reason, we tried the freddo lattés (matcha & coffee) & they were SO good!! Expect a long line but it's worth the wait. The owners are very friendly & chatty with customers. They even do a limited edition pink freddo to raise money for breast cancer during certain times of the year. Will definitely visit again next time we're in MTL!
Gros coup de coeur pour le café Alphabet! J'ai essayé le Fredo cap qui va clairement me créer une dépendance (une chance que le café est à une certaine distance de marche, je serais ruinée!). J'ai eu la chance d'être servie par l'un des propriétaires qui m'a également très gentiment conseillé sur les cafés en sac (Ambros). J'avais déjà essayé leurs pâtisseries qui étaient également excellentes. L'ambiance sur place est vraiment amicale & agréable, le design est très bien choisi. Bref, une place parfaite pour prendre un café dans le MileEnd, sur place or to go 💚.

I'accompanied' my 2 grandchildren to Alphabet Café today at THEIR request. They are 2 very savvy adolescents. I was impressed with the person who took our order & cautioned the children about ordering the matcha beverage (caffeine content) & offered an alternative - a most delicious'hot' chocolate in the can. What an amazing treat. On our exit, we complimented the owner, who is a one of a kind, & has a welcoming spirit. I also bought a couple of biscotti - the best I've had as well as the spanakopita, which I tasted a little corner & gifted it to my daughter. I'll be back for my own spanakopita. What I tasted was delicious beyond compare. Thank you for a special experience!
