This is what Van Houtte is all about - friendly service, fresh sandwiches, premium coffee, comfy seats, plenty of tables, several easy access power sockets, rock-solid fast internet. & the coffee was spectacular. Highly recommended.

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 :)

Excellent croissants & coffee, & super friendly service. They even opened early for me, so I could chill & read in the cafe at 7am. Highly recommended!

Proper coffee, ideal for a quick sit. But space is lacking atmosphere. Would recommend outdoor seating.
