Review Summary

Across the reviews, Café Van Houtte is described as a bright, well located spot in the Old Port with friendly staff and good coffee, while some pastries, eggs and display items can feel stale and service at the counter can be distracted by personal calls; the atmosphere is welcoming and comfortable, with reasonable prices and plenty of seating, power outlets, and natural light, and praise for drinks like the matcha latte and caramel iced coffee, as well as quick, attentive service in many visits, though a few comments point to variable hours and occasional lapses in attention.

One of my favorite coffee shop in the old port. The owner is so friendly.

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 :)

Best Coffee shop I have been to in a long time. Chris the owner has been very hospitable & a delight to sit & talk to while enjoying breakfast. Nicole is very talented & her baking is spectacular. She made my new favorite pastry every morning fresh.

Surprisingly good coffee & muffins. Normally, you do not expect it from a franchise shop, but this place is a pleasant surprise. Also, very comfy & chill atmosphere for a conversation & some work.

Best coffee shop in Old Montreal! The workspace is great. The staff members are very kind & friendly. The coffees & smoothies are great. I strongly recommend the goat cheese & chicken sandwich, as well as their iced matcha lattes!
