Café Alphabet

Coffee is really great here & the staff are always kind & welcoming.

However as someone who lives in the neighbourhood & up the street I am so frustrated that this business doesn't seem to respect their neighbours or care enough to keep the crowds within their property lines. People spill out into the streets & block the sidewalk & bike path at almost all hours of the day. I've noticed that other popular businesses in the area will have signs to remind customers to stay within particular limits to respect the neighbourhood but Alphabet, at least as of yet, has not done anything like that. I, & I'm sure other people in the neighbourhood, would be so grateful to see some effort to keep patrons in the business & not blocking the road, side walk & bike path, so that we can live more harmoniously with this cafe as a community.

Edit - I see you've updated your reply - that sign is literally barely noticeable, tiny & jammed into a corner that no one is going to see unless they are really looking for it. If you want myself & others to respect this business then make legitimate attempts to respect us! A tiny sign is not a peace offering. I've been reading reviews & see the very negative & dismissive way you respond to constructive criticisms & real concerns. It's very disappointing & does not give credence that you actually care about my review. We BOTH have to earn respect. I updated my review because this business has done nothing to reflect on it genuinely & take it seriously.

Five stars all around. The coffee was excellent, & I had a plain croissant that was wonderfully flaky & buttery. Coffee is served in very chic cups, making the experience even more enjoyable.

Good espresso served hot as it should be. Very crowded. I would recommend if you're in the area & want a quick espresso but this place is not suitable for meeting up with people due to the crowds. There is seating but staff encourage you to move along to make way for others

Un lieu où on se sent bien. Un esprit de communauté. On peut discuter facilement avec l'équipe, les clients. Chaleureux, belle ambiance & simplicité.
