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.
J'ai trouvé ce café dernièrement & c'était super ! Quand vous arrivez, l'ambiance chaleureuse vous donne l'impression d'être chez vous. Le personnel est très gentil, aux petits soins & toujours prêt à vous conseiller une boisson ou un dessert que vous aimerez. Leur café est vraiment bon, avec des saveurs riches & un goût excellent. De plus, l'endroit est confortable, décoré avec bon goût & a un bon coin pour jaser avec ses copains (& même s'en faire ah-ah!). Je conseille ce café à tous ceux qui aiment le bon café aux influences grecques. Adresse à ne pas manquer!
From the cozy atmosphere to the incredible coffee, every visit feels special. The Freddo Cappuccino is a game-changer, & the staff always makes you feel like family. If you haven't been yet, you're missing out! Definitely my go-to spot! 🫶🏽☕?😘
absolutely love Alphabet Café! The atmosphere is warm & welcoming staff are incredibly lovely. Service is consistently great. Coffee is top-notch, & you can really taste the quality, especially with their unique coffee blends. It's clear they put a lot of care into what they do. If you're looking for a cozy spot & a good coffee or even a matcha this is the place to be! Highly recommend it!
Saw it on IG & said they made very good Freddo & decided to give a try. Didn't disappoint besides I forgot to ask for sugar. Went on a Saturday afternoon & the store was PACKED. Was a good spot to take out but not the best spot to hang out with friends.

My group & I were visiting from New York City & Cafe Alphabet is a must try cafe when in Montreal! Not only are all their drinks beautiful & delicious, the staff is amazing. When we visited, Tom was super helpful & friendly- he helped us with our drink selections as well as went above & beyond to accommodate our little one. Tom made our experience even better. We will definitely be back every time we visit Montreal!
Firstly I didn't plan to visit this cafe. As I'm walking out of the Bernie Beigne donut store across the street I noticed this lovely cafe packed to the gills so much so that there was steam on the windows. Thanks to having fresh donuts in my possession I thought that I should check this place out as it seems "cool" & if I'm inspired, why not marry a good cup of "Joe" to my donuts - right So we got in line & we were served by Tony (an owner) & he was really cool. Also very patient. Why you ask? Because I don't know all the "cafe lingo" & basically asked for a decaf cappuccino & a decaf cup of coffee with two cream & a sweetener. This had to be explained to me how a simple cup of decaf coffee would be prepared - I'm like "as long as it's coffee in a cup I do t care how are what you do" & with a friend warm smile it was done. As we waiting to be served our coffees to the right where the other partner manages the outbound side of the business - he too was super friendly & warm & also speaks Greek too! Interior is clean, cosy, intimate, chic, & smells divine. All you want to do is find a cosy spot & drink you coffee & & drink more coffees & just relax in this busy happening little gem of a place to relax & enjoy an amazing selection brand they use to make super premium coffee. Yes, the quality of their beans have to be at the level of a European cafe. The nose was clean & crisp with perfect balance. Just smelling the coffee puts a smile on my face. But drinking this coffee is something special. I highly recommend your first sip to be a calm mindful one. Why? You need to give a little respect to the craft. You deserve the pleasure enjoy all aspects of their high quality coffee & just relax. Don't rush this. Savour the experience as this is not Tim Horton, Starbucks, second cup etc - this is what coffee should be in this city. This is also a great place for a first or any date for that matter. & don't be shy, the owners are young & outgoing friendly down to earth people who love to hear (good or bad - not that this happens lol) feedback from their clients as their focus is that the customer experience is like no other.
A Coffee Worth Every Sip! This coffee is nothing short of perfection. From the very first sip, the balance of flavors is remarkable-smooth, rich, & just the right amount of boldness. What truly sets it apart, however, is its craftsmanship. The foam art on top isn't just visually stunning; it actually lasts until the very end, thanks to the impeccably curated blend & texture. It's a testament to the skill & attention to detail that goes into every cup here. If you're looking for a coffee that not only tastes exceptional but also feels like a true work of art, this is it. Highly recommended!
