Review Summary

Café Van Houtte is frequently praised for its friendly staff, welcoming atmosphere, and convenient location in the Old Port, making it a popular spot for a quick bite or a place to study. Many visitors highlight the exceptional customer service and the quality of the coffee and pastries, noting the affordable prices and beautiful interior.

Despite these occasional complaints, the general consensus suggests that it remains a well-liked destination for locals and tourists alike who appreciate the warm hospitality and community feel.

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…

They advertise an egg muffin & coffee for 5.99 which we had last week.Today I returned again with my wife & this time the server justifies charging $8.00 each for the same duo. I won't be returning with this inconsistency. Besides, the muffin is so tiny . Not impressed.This kid has attitude & runs the place like he owns it. Stay away!!!!!!!

The young man manning the place said they were closing at 4pm, with no reason given... so I rushed to finish my coffee which he filled only 3/4 of the way & my turkey blt which had no vegetables in it. Definitely gave an idgaf vibe. Almost as bad as the girl who is almost too busy talking on her phone to notice you.
The big windows make the place nice & bright, but the floors are quite tired looking & make the place feel kindof grungy. At least the prices are reasonable for the area.

Great location in a beautiful old building in the Old Port, but unfortunately that's it. The food in the display case looked pretty stale, & the one girl working was taking a personal phone call while at the counter. At one point she got really loud & tearful; it was disruptive. Maybe staff up so people can take turns? Or train staff not to take personal phone calls while at the counter?

I love this Van Houtte! I just got a pedicure with my friends at LyLy's next door, followed by sandwiches & pastries. The perfect day at a fair price ♥?
