Can get really busy during peak hours, espically during the summer. Hard to find a seat. But freddo drinks are highly reccomended

Honestly one of the best places to grab a drink in the city. The vibe at Cafe Alphabet is super chill & the lighting is perfect if you need to focus on some computer work. I ordered an iced americano & a pastry which were both fresh & delicious. It is clear that the owners put a lot of heart into the design & the menu selection. It is not often you find a business that balances great products with such a genuine friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend stopping by if you are in the area.

I read a lot about this cafe & it didn't disappoint. The cafe has a few drink & food options & also sell their own roasted beans. There's a decent amount of seating but it seems that it can get quite busy. I ordered a cappuccino which i enjoyed.

Hands down the best coffee shop in the city, from the quality of their coffee to their impeccable service & friendly faces. As a Greek & avid freddo enjoyer this is the closest thing you'll get to a top quality freddo outside Greece. Their Matchas & other drinks are simply sensational as well, & they also have seasonal special drinks; highly recommend people to come here & support local businesses!

This is a personal taste rating. I got an iced caramel Freddo latte & unfortunately I had to trash it due to it tasting like straight up syrup with no distinct flavor. However my sister said her regular hot latte was good. I thought the cold foam they put on top would have more flavor but it didn't taste like anything. The Ferrero rocher cookie cup was also good. I'm glad I tried it even if my drink wasn't good. The cashier was also helpful & suggested my sister choose a latte instead of a cappuccino since she wanted a sweeter drink.

Café Alphabet is a fun, trendy vibe! We went during busier hours so the environment was a bit noisy & the line up was longer than usual but our drinks were super delicious! I especially enjoyed watching the drinks made, the staff are very passionate about what they do! 🍵

Visiting from Toronto & the drinks were so good that we finished them within 5 minutes & came back for seconds. Everyone was also really kind!

I went to Cafe Alphabet on a chilly spring Friday afternoon with my foodie friend Farzy… one of those in-between days where winter hasn't fully let go, but you're craving outdoor time anyway.

It was my first time there, & it felt weirdly familiar… probably because I've seen soo many viral TikToks of their freddo matchas being made by Montreal's favorite barista Tom.

We both ordered the classic freddo matcha… which just felt right. Cold drink, heated terrace… perfect balance.

Now I will say… if you're not a matcha lover, this might not be for you. It actually tastes like matcha. But if you are, it's really good. Smooth, refreshing, easy to drink… nothing complicated, just done well.

One thing I really appreciated is that they're currently donating $1 from every freddo matcha to the make-a-wish Canada. It's a small detail, but it says a lot. Not just aesthetic… actually community-oriented.

Café Alphabet is connected to Ambros Coffee so everything is roasted locally with a real focus on quality. But what stood out to me even more is the story… it traces back to a Greek family legacy in Mile End going all the way back to the 70s. You can feel that quiet pride in the space. It doesn't try too hard… it just exists with intention.

Very chill vibe. Great playlist. Sweet staff.

I'd come back for another slow moment like this… maybe next time with a book I'll pretend to read but actually just people-watch.

I'm just a foodie who loves exploring my city & sharing my experiences. If you enjoy discovering places like this, come hang out with me on TikTok @foxy.appetite & IG @foxyappetite 🫶
