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.

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.
