If there is something wonderful in Montreal is the variety of small cafés places, wether they are independently owned or under a banner. One of my fav, since way back then is Van Houtte bistro café. They've been able to maintain their quality and even upgrade it to satisfy the more sophisticated and diverse palettes of todays clientele. The service is irreproachable, so far, at least to the one I've been. The only downside I have experienced is in the box they use to put the big portion of salad which is definitely not suited to sustain an accident. As a matter of fact, the packaging is not sealed tight to prevent leakage and I had to sadly live through it on my way back home in the subway as the juice of the salads just leaked. So not cool. So if you ever wanna bring some food back home after your hard day of work beware of that container, cause it will mess up your happy mood. I Love to stop on my way back at the one at Berri station, but if it is to mess my salad this way, I'll probably have a second thought. Luckily nothing happened to my delicious but slightly overly sweet peach frappé!

There's a lot of room so you can always find a free table. There are comfy arm chairs with a fake fireplace and a tv with the news on. You also have a regular chair seating and a high seat option. You can stay for hours without bothering the staff even if you only bought a coffee. It's a great place for working and meetings. It's a quiet place and has free Wi-Fi.

Helpful staff and great tasting drinks. Wanted my evening caffeine fix, ordered a chocolate frappé and a chocolate chip/pear muffin, both were very good. A nice alternative to Tim Hortons and Starbucks.

I arrived at 7:55 p.m. I said good evening with a big smile. NO RESPONSE... I ordered a white mocha, but only received a glass of milk. I came right back and tried to speak with the two employees inside to correct their mistake, but they refused to open the door for me and ignored me despite making eye contact. September 18, 2024.

This afternoon I went to order myself a fruit salad and a glass of water with a wrap that I brought from home. An employee came to see me and spoke to me very rudely, telling me to leave the restaurant because of my wrap. I understand that eating food that does not come from this same restaurant can be frowned upon and even disrespectful. I work in a restaurant. But there are ways to address things and a more polite way. I understand that as a teenager traders can be more stirct but I had bought food and maybe worked on respect because even after what the lady had told me I remained respectful and I didnt eat my wrap anymore otherwise I had to eat it outside in the cold. Thank you for understanding

Late one Sunday afternoon, it was difficult to find a place to relax with my parents over tea or herbal tea. Everything seemed to be closed in the network of cozy cafes. Should we blame schedule cuts due to the pandemic? Regardless, my research led me to choose Café Van Houtte, an established and renowned chain. I quickly felt that the welcome was more or less courteous and disinvested; my almost unwanted good nature. My order was executed in slight chaos and confusion reigned even though there were obviously no new customers apart from us, and I must point out: we were thirty minutes from closing. I hoped that that was all, alas, herbal tea, coffee and pastries were placed randomly on a dirty counter soaked in stagnant milk, despite the blue rag which was just waiting to wipe everything with the back of the hand. . The atmosphere at the café was rather calm and the weather gloomy. Coming from the restaurant industry myself, I assume that bad days, lack of food, labor or experience are disadvantages affecting the quality of the work. My herbal tea was able to soothe me despite everything, after a day of intense caffeine. The chairs and tables were inviting and comfortable, the clientele full of life and happy to be under the charming roof of Café Van Houtte. Maybe Ill go back there one day.

For some time now I have found it really disappointing with my orders. I always order a caramel espresso parfait and I never get the same recipe. At the end of the week, I made it again and even more heat than before, its just caramel and every other time I put no caramel, no whipped cream. At the price it costs, it would be fun to have a coffee that tastes like what you order.

Usually, its a must-see during my stays in Rouyn-Noranda. But on my last visit, I was very disappointed. My mocha tasted like water. The two young girls at the counter didnt seem to understand my order... A mocha coffee with espresso. It might be good to review the recipes with them... Too bad

The atmosphere is always very warm at Van Houtte! The employees are helpful and very sociable. You can ask them questions about the products and they will be able to answer you efficiently. The wifi network is satisfactory and we dont bother you to consume. You can just come to enjoy the atmosphere with your cell phone without necessarily consuming. A+

December 23, 2018

I have a full breakfast or meal there about 2 to 3 times a week before or after my work shift or while passing through the large library located right next door. The products served are great. I never tire of two-choice or three-choice salads (Kinoa, lentils, chickpeas), hot soups and soups with asparagus or other vegetables as well as the very delicious chocolate-banana coated in Nutella and Nutella croissants. drizzled on top. The whipped cream hot chocolate with chocolate chips concocted by the baristas is really great. Every time I go there the waitresses ask me in advance: A medium hot chocolate with whipped cream? The only problem, this woman behind the counter early in the morning. Not very tall, quite old, long, straightened hair with a brush then tied in a ponytail with bangs falling over the eyes and glasses, a long-range hoarse voice resounding worthy of a foreman in a station hall noticeable from outside the cafe. She systematically speaks to me in a contemptuous, disrespectful tone, does not admit her mistake when she charges me for a banana-and-chocolate instead of the chocolate-banana Nutella that she labels herself, the kind that has seen everything done. Theres no point trying to make him listen to reason, communication seems limited. Not to mention her mademoiselle interjections even though I am madam and have already pointed this out to her. As far as I know, in all this time, I have never allowed myself to call her grandma or even old girl despite her refrains. And then this morning its a taste of water too many. As I wait discreetly while waiting for my colleagues and sit on the high bar chairs just to the left as I enter the café, she very quickly tells me to leave because Miss, this is reserved for consumers. What fly has bitten this woman? What inconsistency! (not to mention anything else). A complete break from the rest of the waiters and waitresses every day who operate behind the counter, are adorable and always have a kind word. To tell the truth, there were quite a few times when it cooled me to know that she was serving alone behind the counter in times of low traffic just to motivate me and go and give her an order. Sometimes I even let my turn pass so as not to run into her, you never know that Ill be spoken to badly once again.
