Review Summary

Pastel Rita is widely regarded as a bright and aesthetically pleasing café that offers a welcoming atmosphere for working, socializing, or relaxing. Guests frequently praise the high quality of the coffee, matcha, and signature snacks like the grilled cheese, though some note that prices can feel high for the portion sizes and service speed can be inconsistent for takeout orders. While many enjoy the unique decor and friendly staff, experiences occasionally vary due to concerns regarding temperature control, noise levels, and occasional lapses in order accuracy or upkeep.

The food is good & great quality, the prices are reasonable, but the service is too long for takeout. A simple sandwich may take up to 15 minutes - if no one is ahead if you. It's a nice space, the customer service is good, but don't go in a hurry.

Service impeccable. Les sandwiches sont excellentes en plus d'être moins chère que la plupart des cafés du quartier. Un des meilleurs cafés que j'ai essayé.

Le café est INCROYABLE & les sandwichs vraiment savoureux. Les stationnements de Montréal étant ce qu'ils sont, ça vaut malgré tout pleinement le détour (& le parking) !!

Super cute & un menu super varié pour un café. Plusieurs autres options & boissons que je voudrais essayer à l'avenir. Il y a du wifi & le bar était agréable pour étudier. J'ai pris un matcha qui était bon & j'ai vraiment aimé le sandwich déjeuner. Petit mais réconfortant, frais mais avec une omelette & un fromage chauds & fondants. Beau cadre, beaucoup de lumière naturelle & quelques tables pour socialiser. Service ok mais ça se voit qu'ils s'entendent bien avec la clientèle régulière.

Looked nice but was full & seemed a bit too feminine for my taste. The sandwiches were good 👍
