Notice the reviews aren't great,here's why,despite 4 or 5 employees the pace of the line is really slow,high prices with sloooow service! The floor and tables seemed dirty,it's 12:30 on a Saturday,they open at maybe 11? It seems no one cleaned up from yesterday,not great,the location is very good which is why people come here,for convenience

Hi,
We’re sorry to hear your Maple Latte didn’t deliver on the flavor you were expecting. That cozy maple taste is kind of the whole point, so we completely understand your disappointment.
This isn’t the experience we aim to offer, and we’d really appreciate the chance to look into it. If you’re open to it, please reach out to us at [email protected] with the date and time of your visit so we can follow up properly.
We hope to have the opportunity to make this right.

I very much enjoy Van Houtte! The coffee is great and I never have any issues whichever location I go to. This shop is in an excellent spot. Maybe not so much in the winter but I did enjoy sitting inside sipping on my coffee. The only gripe I have is that the seats weren’t very clean. I had to clean off my seat before sitting down. Otherwise I enjoyed myself and I would return again. 😎👍

If you are looking for a place to grab coffee and a snack near Old Town that is simple, this works, but otherwise it's just not worth the visit.
