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.

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.
