Overall, reviews of Café Van Houtte describe a cozy and quiet space with nice decorations and a great atmosphere, an extensive menu of coffees, sandwiches, and sweets, and fast attentive service, with the Dix outdoor mall location making it pleasant for a stroll. Several notes call it a favorite coffee shop on the south shore and praise the high quality coffee, smoothies, pastries, and sandwiches, along with a respectful, polite, patient, and friendly staff who sometimes bring drinks out to the terrace. Some comments mention room for improvement such as more vegan options, more comfortable seating, and occasional issues like a drink not mixed properly or it feeling a bit cold inside during cold weather. The store provides a nice seating area for browsing and a generally pleasant environment, and many customers say they will be back.View restaurant profile
