Review Summary

At Café Van Houtte, reviews describe a comfy, old-style cafe with a pleasant music vibe and a generally inviting coffee shop atmosphere, where the food is often fresh and service is solid on many visits. Some patrons praise friendly staff and good service, while others note moments of unfriendly or moody attitudes at the counter. Vegetarian sandwiches are not the best, while the chocolatine is good, cookies are a bit too sweet, and the London Fog is only okay. The space is considered good for work or study, but there are practical drawbacks such as tipping requests at card payment and limited online ordering or loyalty features that require going to another location for it to work. All in all, the cafe offers a cozy experience with mixed but generally positive sentiment on coffee and atmosphere, tempered by inconsistent service and some menu and feature limitations.

Chocolatine was good, cookie too sweet & the London Fog was okay. Vegetarian sandwiches there are not the best. Good to work or study. They ask directly for tip when you pay by card.

It's an average small town cafe that's probably a chain. The food was nice, good sandwiches. The latte was very watered down, the chai latte was good. The paying for the meal was really awkward. In yet another example of how tipping has gone crazy. The cashier asked my wife how much she would like to tip, while hovering over the cash register... This isn't her choice (I'm assuming) but the entire interaction is designed to make customers uncomfortable by vocalizing their tip... I detest this culture of tipping & pressuring customers. I hope management sees this & can appreciate how rude this is. If you want a tip, use an iPad or allow people to tip on the receipt.
