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.

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.

A very bad experience. I ordered a regular coffee & clearly asked for one sugar & one cream. When he handed it to me, I even double-checked & asked if he had added one sugar & one cream, & he said yes. But in fact, he didn't add anything. It was such a disappointing experience & a waste of my money. An employee like this shouldn't be working at the front counter.

Cafe Van Houtte serves a good latte that never disappoints. The rich flavors & perfect froth make it a delightful choice for coffee lovers. A cozy atmosphere adds to the experience, making it a must-visit cafe.

Wow, best experience ever, as tourists, we were picking up our rental car from the Palais des Congrès & decided to have lunch at Van Houtte. We all enjoyed the fresh & tasty food. Employees are kind, clean, energetic, & very helpful. We were served with a big smile. It is much more than a Coffee Shop! Highly recommended.
