Habituée des lieux, je note toutefois un problème : les gens entrent dans le café, vont s'installer & vont commander ensuite…ce n'est pas habituel donc quand on veut la jouer « fair » & commander avant d'aller à table bah on se fait passer devant & c'est OK, les serveurs trouvent ça normal…même pas eu le temps de regarder la carte, un homme entre, prend la dernière table en passant devant moi, je me rends compte que je ne pourrais pas consommer mon café sur place, je repars… je ne trouve pas ça normal désolée.
J'ai fini aux Oubliettes, très bon café & bien plus de tables ! Dommage Pista!
It was pretty busy when we arrived & the food took about 30 mins to arrive. It's also pretty hard to get a table at peak hours. The two matcha's we ordered were very light & not as strong as we had hoped. Otherwise the bacon mushroom waffle was really unique & the avo toast was classic.

Love this place!cozy atmosphere. Good healthy food .Amazing service. I ordered a london fog & I had a cold so they remade it for me because I needed it hot. I was so surprised I thought they would just reheat it in microwave. Highly recommend
J'ai commandé la latté pomme cannelle avec aucune attente pour découvrir quelque chose de nouveau. Je crois que c'était le meilleur café aromatisé que j'ai bu jusqu'à maintenant. Parfaitement équilibré & pas dans le sucre, vraiment réussi!
Nice coffee shop with plenty of space. I ordered a cappuccino & a latte - both were good, with great coffee flavor. The place is spacious & a nice spot to get some work done.
To be frank, I stop here only to pee really. It would have been rude of not purchase something the very least. End up getting an ice vanilla latte & matcha cookie. I will be back to sit inside & enjoy this amazing cafe! Highly recommend the matcha cookies it was good that I forget to take a pic.
Je suis toujours bien accueillie au cafe Pista.
Les latte y sont très incroyables sans compter les petits cakes au citron.
Mais le best est le bang-mi au lunch !
