At Café Van Houtte, guests report a standout coffee experience with a delicious matcha latte and a brew that meets high expectations. The staff are friendly, smiling, and efficient, always ready to help with questions about the menu and to keep the visit pleasant. Service is fast and the vibe is nice, with some noting it as the fastest service they have had in a coffee shop, though one pastry, a date square, was described as a bit soft and crumbly. Overall the reviews point to a reliable spot for good coffee and a welcoming team that makes the pause between activities enjoyable.
Superbe établissement pour prendre son café & son déjeuner. J'y vais chaque année depuis 2017, quand je peux. Le personnel est aux petits soins. Toujours bien accueilli. J'y reviendrai sans hésitation. Bonjour de Belgique !
Such a great spot! The coffee was fresh & flavorful, & the pastries were delicious. The atmosphere is cozy & welcoming, perfect for relaxing or getting some work done. The staff was friendly & attentive. I'll definitely be coming back!

Le café ferme à 3PM, non 5PM. J'ai demandé au gérant pourquoi & il m'a répondu de façon très arrogante. C'est dommage, car ça ne donne pas envie d'y retourner & les autres employés sont très sympathiques.
Je suis vraiment déçue… J'ai commandé un café infusé à froid avec lait d'avoine & caramel salé, & il était franchement imbuvable. Pour 8$, on s'attend à une certaine qualité. Habituellement, j'aime beaucoup vos cafés, mais celui-ci goûtait vieux & beaucoup trop sucré. Je n'ai pas été capable d'en boire plus que la moitié - il a fini à la poubelle.
J'ai bu un délicieux latté matcha à ce café, avant de me rendre à un spectacle. J'ai adoré ! Le personnel était gentil. Merci pour cette agréable pause !

Le café est bon & correspond à la réputations du monsieur sur le gobelet, tant qu'au carré au dattes, il m'as personnellement paru trop moux, se décomposait au simple toucher mais tout de même un bon accompagnateur au café noir. Personnel souriant & efficace.
I was at your branch around 2 p.m. on November 26. A man with a white beard & a cap, who appeared to be a senior employee, was rude & unprofessional. I placed my order in English, & he replied in French. When my friend asked if he could speak English so I could understand, it was clear that he understood English well. However, instead of switching languages, he made fun of us & responded disrespectfully, even making jokes about my friend's age. He also told me to'learn French because this is Quebec.'
Working in a café means serving people from many different backgrounds, so being able to communicate in both French & English is important. I fully respect the French language & its importance in Quebec, but his comment was unnecessary & made me feel unwelcome. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience.
Expérience très décevante. Le Monsieur a manqué de respect & de professionnalisme. Bien que j'exprimais simplement ma commande en anglais, il a refusé de faire un effort pour communiquer ou de demander l'aide d'un collègue. Pire encore, il s'est moqué de moi & a fait des remarques déplacées sur mon âge. Ce genre d'attitude est inacceptable dans un établissement censé accueillir tous les clients avec respect.
The experience there was perfect. I never went to a cafe that good. The coffee was heavenly & delicious. The staff is also really kind, smilling & patient. I was never treated so kindly & they always help me with my questions about their menu. I definitly recommand trying it!

I like the place So alive & vivid Lots of people around Close to aet shows But the thing I didn't like is asking for tips while everything is selfservice
