About Ambros

Ambros is a Montréal coffee roaster that started in 2020 as the roasting sibling of Alphabet Café in Mile End. Alongside its regular coffees, it offers a blend made specifically for Greek coffee, the finely ground style brewed in a small pot.

It suits coffee drinkers who want to try something beyond espresso and filter, and anyone with Greek roots looking for a familiar cup. Pair a Greek coffee with a sweet pastry on a slow afternoon, or pick up a bag after a visit to the café in Mile End. A young local roaster with a nod to Montreal's Greek community.
