Van Houtte is a coffee brand founded in Montreal in 1919 by Albert-Louis Van Houtte, sold to Green Mountain Coffee Roasters in 2010, and now run as a brand of Nasdaq-listed Keurig Dr Pepper through Keurig Canada Inc. in Montreal. Amazon.ca lists Canada as the country of origin for its flagship K-Cup blend, and Keurig Canada's own site once named two Quebec roasting plants, though no current source pins the roasting to Montreal specifically. Its Colombian-named blends and Keurig's green coffee sourcing office in Brazil put the imported bean supply mostly in Latin America.

Switch: Keurig Dr Pepper, a Nasdaq-listed public company headquartered in the United States, is the sole named owner of the Van Houtte brand and directs its sourcing, pricing, and distribution through Keurig Canada Inc.

Van Houtte's own heritage page and Wikipedia's Van Houtte infobox both name Keurig Dr Pepper, the Nasdaq-listed public company formed by the 2018 merger of Keurig Green Mountain and Dr Pepper Snapple Group, as the brand's owner. JAB Holding, a Luxembourg-based investment firm, led the 2016 investor group that took the predecessor Keurig Green Mountain private and held an 87 percent stake in the combined company at formation, but current Keurig Dr Pepper disclosures do not name JAB as a controlling shareholder, so the mix follows the named US parent. A Quebec business registry search for the Keurig Canada Inc. filing returned a 403 to an automated request. Keurig Dr Pepper's Form 10-K Exhibit 21.1, filed with the SEC on 2026-02-24, lists both Van Houtte Coffee Services Inc. and Keurig Canada Inc. among its subsidiaries, which confirms the parent relationship from the parent's own regulatory filing.

Amazon.ca's product listing for Van Houtte's Original House Blend K-Cup pods gives the country of origin as Canada and names Keurig Dr Pepper as manufacturer, and Keurig Canada's own site once described two Quebec factories supplying its blends. No current source specifically confirms roasting still happens at a Montreal-proper plant rather than another Quebec facility, so the mix is Canada-wide rather than pinned to one city.

Van Houtte's Wikipedia infobox and its own site place the brand's headquarters in Montreal, and a current Keurig Canada Inc. contest notice on keurig.ca gives its address as 7260 Saint-Urbain St, Montreal, covering the roasting plant plus Canadian sales and support staff. Corporate functions such as marketing and finance for the wider Keurig Dr Pepper portfolio sit at KDP's US headquarters in Massachusetts and Texas, so a minority share goes to the US; the split is an estimate.

Green coffee cannot be grown in Canada, so all of Van Houtte's beans are imported. Its own site names Colombian beans for two of its core blends, and Keurig Dr Pepper's green coffee sourcing division opened a sourcing and logistics office in Varginha, Brazil, a major coffee-producing region, in 2024, so the full mix is placed in OTHER for Latin American origin.
