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.
Authentique & génial ! Alphabet Café est peut-être l'un de mes cafés préférés à Montréal. Tout le monde y est accueillant, & les boissons donnent toutes plus envie les unes que les autres. L'équipe est gentille & généreuse. J'y passe un super moment à chaque fois !
& merci encore pour le marque-page, qui m'accompagne à chaque nouvelle lecture maintenant !
Spent an afternoon working there & had 4-5 things off the menu. Good coffee, good matcha GREAT vibes. Owners were there the whole time making sure everything ran smooth. Great experience overall & lives up to the hype.
Lovely, I went here with my sisters before a late supper & we really enjoyed the atmosphere. Great for reading as well as socializing. We briefly met the owner & he seemed lovely, he even gave us bookmarks! Staff were superb, overall a great experience & I can definitely see myself coming back.
Alphabet is an absolute delight! From the moment we walked in, everything was warm, welcoming, & beautifully done. Tony was fantastic he personally checked in with us, offered great suggestions, & made the experience feel genuinely special. The service was top notch, & every drink we had was spot on. The atmosphere was elevated even more by the modern Greek music playing in the background such a cool & unique touch that made the space feel vibrant & relaxed at the same time. Can't wait to come back!

I have no idea why people hype up this café! i just got a simple matcha freddo, the price was fair but it tasted so bad it looked cute tho but seriously how can matcha taste bad?
What can I say...
I flew in from Athens Greece on the afternoon of April 12th & have come by here every day since for a daily incredible experience & of course delightful goodies!
From Molly's incredible Flat White to Costa's incredible honey sweetened hot Matcha Latte, to Catherine's very beautiful/ welcoming smile at the cash register & Tony's (the founder) impeccable hospitality, I already know I'm going to profoundly miss this place & it's loving energy when I return to Greece next week. God bless this place & the beautiful people in it, FOREVER!!! ♥?💙💖
