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.

Café Alphabet is a delightful spot nestled near Bernie Beigne, & it's truly a gem! I recently enjoyed a cup of coffee there, & the barista's attention to detail was remarkable. When he sprinkled my cinnamon, it was like watching an artist at work, creating a beautiful masterpiece atop my coffee. The atmosphere is cozy & inviting, perfect for catching up with friends or enjoying a quiet moment of relaxation. With its proximity to Bernie Beigne, it's the ideal place to start your day with a delicious coffee & a tasty treat. Café Alphabet has definitely earned a spot on my list of favorite coffee spots in town!

Wow !! I've never had a Freddo Cappuccino before & let me tell you that it will not be the last time! The coffee was everything I imagined, it was so decadent. The baristas were extremely nice. When we ordered he offered to make our coffee a bit sweeter which was such a good decision. Also, when I came to pick up the coffee he told me to come up to the counter so that I could see him put the frothed cold milk & he did not mind me filming the process. It's great to go to a coffee shop or even a restaurant & see that the people working there are passionate about what they're doing & always in a good mood. I loved how accessible the owners were, one of them came up to us just to talk when we were outside which was really nice. In general, the atmosphere was very lively & relaxed at the same time, the choice of music with the background noise of people outside enjoying the sun was perfect. Would 110% come back & try the Freddo Matcha.

Solid four for their coffee. The Fredo is interesting but FYI to Aussies & Kiwis, their coffee may not bold enough to carry a flat white by your standards.

Café victime de sa popularité! Très achalandé mais attente acceptable! Le service est excellent (anglais & français) Goût de leur espresso vraiment original! Très bon & pas du tout amer! J'ai adoré le fredo cap 😋

Honestly that place is a bit overrated. I took the matcha freddo. It was good but it's not the best matcha I've tasted.
