Café Van Houtte is described as a bright, welcoming spot in the Old Port housed in a beautiful historic building, with friendly staff, quick service, and reasonable prices, making it a solid go to for a quick coffee or bite. The space is praised for natural light and a setup that works for studying or working, yet some reviews note tired floors and a somewhat grungy feel, along with occasional issues such as staff being distracted by personal phone calls or closing early without clear notice and a display case that can look stale. Guests highlight solid coffee and pastries, with several mentioning standout drinks like a highly regarded matcha latte, and there is appreciation for attentive service and reliable Wi-Fi with plenty of seating. Overall, Café Van Houtte is seen as dependable and value-friendly, offering friendly hospitality and a pleasant atmosphere, with occasional operational hiccups noted by a few customers.
Le bacon avait un air étrange & les rebord de l'oeuf était d'une texture plastique. Comme si il avait passer beaucoup trop de temps dans le présentoirs… Finalement, mon café latté caramel glacé goûtait l'eau dès la première gorgé…
very nice café; probably one of the best ones to chill, work, or study. staff is very friendly, & the place is clean. coffee is good.
only issue i have is the opening hours, i know it says it opens at 7am on the weekends, but it seems roughly between 7:45-8:30am maybe even later. not sure why… but if it has been changed, please update it on google maps so others know!
'Great café! Super spacious with lots of natural sunlight, which makes it perfect for studying or getting some work done. The owner is really nice & welcoming-definitely coming back!'
The cafe is warm & inviting with lots of windows for natural light & elevated off the street. Couch areas perfect for families. The egg, ham, & cheese croissant was very tasty. The hot chocolate also! & finally & most importantly, the counter staff was so kind & welcoming. As time allowed, they brought our food directly to our tables, & mad us feel like guests (as opposed to other coffee shops that often make you feel as if you are bothering or annoying them.) This sense of personal interaction (contrary to the culture of anonymity) made the experience memorable & why we visited again. Recommend for families & solo travelers, for a respite from the cold :)
Un des meilleurs service à la clientèle de toute ma vie: équipe souriante, efficace, à l'écoute de leurs clients. Étant végétarien les options sont souvent limitées pour moi dans ce genre d'établissement, mais ce café là m'a proposé des sandwichs personnalisés pour me permettre plus de diversité dans mes déjeuners SANS QUE J'AI À LE DEMANDER. Le tout dans une ambiance de convivialité & de professionnalisme. Endroit exceptionnel 👌🏿
Un café super chaleureux avec un service impeccable! Le personnel est très gentil & la nourriture super bonne !! Leur matcha est aussi un des meilleurs que j'ai goûté, un vrai délice, j'y retourne à chaque fois !!

Excellent croissants & coffee, & super friendly service. They even opened early for me, so I could chill & read in the cafe at 7am. Highly recommended!
Superbe endroit avec un service exceptionnel! Le personnel est tellement accueillant & sympathique ! La nourriture très bonne & le café est délicieux 😋
Certainement l'endroit idéal pour étudier ou travailler chaque jour ! Situé près du Vieux-Montréal, la salle à manger bénéficie d'une lumière naturelle abondante grâce à ses nombreuses fenêtres, ce qui favorise la productivité & crée une ambiance chaleureuse. La nourriture, les pâtisseries & les boissons sont toujours fraîches & délicieuses. Aussi, les nouveaux propriétaires & les employés sont extrêmement attentionnés avec tous les clients, faisant de ce lieu un endroit de choix pour une pause café!
