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.
Came into a busy shop on Boxing Day. They served the line up quickly. The tables cleared out by the time we got our drinks. The Freddo Noel (hot) is a delicious peppermint coffee. The hot chocolate was perfect. Their frothed milk is the creamiest I have ever seen. Friendly & efficient service. Wonderful place to visit. Highly recommended.
Totally worth the hype! Matcha Freddo with Christmas special peppermint dust, made the visit more special. Came alone but was a total vibe! I would recommend it! A little busy cafe.
Last stop in the morning for some matcha latte. It is quite a long walk from the nearest metro station but I did enjoy the walk to the location. Settled to have my drink to go. The matcha was smooth as expected with some sweetness. Enjoyed the walk back to the metro station sipping on my matcha drink. I wish I could have visited again to try thr Freddo latte!
Worth the price a great place to study the staff are friendly like others has said the hot chocolate was very great & the cookies was big but also very tasty would come back again
I visited Café Alphbet after seeing all the TikTok hype, & it definitely drew a crowd! I asked the barista for a suggestion & went with the holiday Greek coffee with a cream topping-it was like dessert in a cup & possibly a little to sweet for coffee. My boyfriend opted for the hot chocolate with the same cream topping & really enjoyed his as well. While it was a bit pricey & not the best coffee I had in Montréal, it was still delicious & worth trying. Be prepared to wait in line, though-the place is always busy. The friendly & welcoming staff made the experience even better!
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 )
