It's a must for coffee lovers in my opinion. I loved everything from the service to the delicious coffee to the loungey atmosphere. Perfect place to come and relax, smack in the middle of old downtown Saint-Hyacinthe. Parking is hard to come by so you'll likely end up parking in one of the side streets or close to the Centre Juliette Lassonde. This location had special sugar free syrups on sale when I visited a few weeks ago, but those were in shortening quantity due to supplier issues.

Quality has changed. Doesn't taste so great. Croissant wasn't cooked enough. Moka taste like milk was bad. Did an error and was arrogant about it. Person got mixed up in the order.

I spend a lot of time in coffee shops all over the place. I like this place. Tons of seating spaces. Big windows and not too cold. Can’t go wrong with VH. But just a heads-up… there are tons of by-passers just going in and out of the bathroom. So don’t leave anything on your table unattended.

Really cool Cafe with great drinks. Top notch bean selection with tons of whole bean coffee to buy and lot of keurig cups as well. Price are medium-high think Starbucks or The Coffee bean but taste and experience are better.

Consistently great coffee, and the sandwiches and wraps are great. Service is excellent .....and I love the brioche a cannelle. A great place to relax and enjoy the comfortable space.

Van houtte in St Hyacinthe is very poorly clean and so is the terrace. People smoke on the terrace so lots of cigarette butts on the ground if this continues it will surely close.

Unclean exterior terrace. Unstable tables, lack of chairs and umbrellas. Trash bins absent. Parking: Free on weekends.

★★★
September 23, 2024

Nice cafe for studying, there is plenty of room, but the coffee taste is ordinary. Little parking outside & time limit (2 hours I think). Sometimes a refuge for certain people experiencing homelessness. The cleanliness of the toilets leaves something to be desired.

The sandwiches are expensive but they are very good and of good quality. This is the perfect place to come and study/revise. Plus, their wifi is fast and so is their service. The baristas are friendly and smiling. I love this place and would definitely recommend it.

I didnt like the cheesecake oat milk shake. Fast and impeccable service. Parking: On the street, goes around 5 times before seeing the 7th car suffer and take its place

June 23, 2024

$35 for 2 very ordinary small sandwiches and a very small green salad no dressing because there was none . . Plus 2 coffees .!!! A bit expensive ??

June 23, 2024

Scary terrace, spiders under the tables, ants on our feet, crooked tables. The tables are close together for seating. Last time we set foot there. Too dirty!

The food and coffee are good, but the cleanliness really leaves something to be desired. The chairs were disgusting. I hesitated to sit down. There were no clean free chairs.

December 23, 2023

I work in customer service so I very rarely complain. I ordered an iced chai but there was no more syrup, I was assured at the checkout that they could make it differently. I received a hot drink, I mentioned the situation to the person who gave me the glass, they told me that it was impossible for me to order an iced chai. The employee who took my order took the time to apologize to his colleague who assured him that it was not his fault but mine. She also added that they could reorder my drink but that next time it would be good if I ordered the right thing because they cant reorder endlessly because I dont know what I want or because ultimately I dont like it. »

Nice place to relax and drink a good coffee. I will have more information to offer you soon on the new admin. Take care of yourself and your loved ones.***** ****Thank you for the corporate response**** However, this note was written over a year ago. I dont understand why it is registered for 3 months and under the old management. I have noticed several changes for some time, personnel management seems a priori to .. Testimony of some even some recently diagnosed people. Information would be from good sources but to be continued. There is never smoke without fire. Good day.

Its still good but I ask for less ice in my smoothie because at almost $7 I dont want to be stuck with 1/3 of slush at the end... so the girl charges me $1 more for extra milk.. Its the opposite of my intention, I just didnt want to pay for slush.

Mega extra super expensive, a mini bottle of juice with an extra small salad with not many vegetables cost me $11. Serious!! No, I wont go back, Im not rich enough to go there. Think about it, for the same price I could have a medium veggie pizza with more vegetables.
