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!

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 🫶

This rainy spring morning felt made for a café visit - soft rain, mild weather, the kind of Montréal morning that invites you to slow down a little. The croissant here was unbelievably good, & you can tell they put real care into their coffee. Everything tasted rich & thoughtfully made.

The café itself is bright & spotless, & the staff are genuinely warm & welcoming. I especially loved the counter area - so many charming little details, playful & beautifully arranged. It was my first time here, but it was easy to fall in love with the place right away. Their matcha is excellent, too.

On a rainy morning like this, a deep, velvety cup of coffee somehow makes everything feel lighter & brighter.

Went early morning (9am ish) on a sunny Saturday, no wait time, & still lots of seating available inside & outside. I tried the freddo cap, half sweet. It was good, but too sweet for my taste, especially as a first coffee of the day. I'd like to come back to try the freddo matcha. I also had the salty babka (pesto, feta & sun dried tomatoes) & loved it!

The matcha was so, so good. The staff were incredibly kind, friendly, & knowledgeable, you can really tell they love what they do. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Montreal. Ottawa needs you!
