Café Van Houtte

I recently visited this coffee shop with a friend, & it was one of the most unpleasant experiences I've ever had. From the moment we placed our order in English, the barista deliberately responded in French. I understand that some people prefer speaking French, but the way they handled it felt intentionally rude.

There were three baristas-one man & two women-& a manager. While making my coffee, they openly stared at me, laughed, & joked among themselves, right in front of me. We had placed two orders, & they only made one. I waited patiently, only to notice them making faces & treating me like I didn't belong. It took the owner intervening for them to remember the second order, which they handled with the same careless attitude.

To make matters worse, while everyone else in the lounge had proper cups, we were given take-out cups-even after confirming we were dining in. It was hard not to notice the blatant disrespect & RACIST behaviour. The staff acted lazy, unprofessional, & downright hostile.

I DO NOT recommend this café to anyone, especially non-French speakers. The staff were not just unfriendly-they were openly RACISTTT. Easily the worst coffee shop experience I've ever had.

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!
