Review Summary

Café Van Houtte is frequently praised for its high-quality coffee, variety of drink options, and selection of quick meals such as sandwiches and pastries, making it a reliable alternative for many patrons. While many reviews highlight the friendly, fast, and professional service provided by the staff, some customers have reported inconsistent experiences regarding both product quality and attentive customer care.

18.78$

What the hell.
I could get a full burger, fries, a drink & chicken nuggets for the same price somewhere else !

Look. I love my coffee black & strong. I love my tea plain & earthy. This drink ? The most acre/acrid liquid that ever got into my mouth like whoa ! I kept making bad faces at any sip. I needed to add sugar to make it throughout! Maybe the cashier didn't put an ingredient or something - but golly that was bad. Maybe it's because I didn't tip cause it was already almost 20$ for a bagel & a limonade ???

Last time I went there was 5 years ago.
Didn't convince me ever to try it again.
Horrid.

Ps; that's posged about 20min after my purchase

Great coffee with plenty of options, including many non-coffee drinks. Good protein choices covering both animal & vegan, plus a solid pastry selection featuring a decadent pistachio croissant. Lots of quick meal options too: sandwiches, salads, fruits, cheese, & more.

My only reason for 4/5 on food is the limited vegetarian & vegan options beyond pastries & muffins. That said, as a coffee place, I'd easily recommend it.

Hors de prix, 17 dollars un petit sandwich qui n'a même pas été chauffé, & un dessert... il y a peu de choix au Palais & ils en profitent, c'est lamentable.

This new worker is the best Van Houtte worker so far that I've ever been experienced in a Van Houtte cafe

Ordered Cappuccino ☕? from Van Houtte inside Palais des Congrès de Montréal. Well prepared coffee & much needed after a long day walking around downtown old Montréal area.

Il faut faire du bruit pour avoir l'attention du personnel qui a le nez sur son téléphone. Une fois qu'on nous a répondu, il retourne sur leur téléphone.
