Café 3e vague. Come chill-out and/or change the world. Creative shared space with @bouquetmtl situated in the heart of Montreal's Mile-End. A local designer headquarters.
Pastel Rita is described as a bright, welcoming cafe with a spacious, colorful interior and a lively vibe that makes it a popular neighborhood spot. The food features a highly praised grilled cheese or croque monsieur with rich béchamel and quality fillings, and breakfast options that help start the day on a satisfying note, while beverages like matcha lattes and refreshing limonades are also frequently liked, though there are occasional disappointments such as a chai latte without tea or a drink missing vanilla syrup. Service is often noted as friendly and fast, but some reviews mention slower takeout, busy crowds, or loud music that can detract from the experience. Ambiance and decor are generally praised, with comments on a cute, sunny, and colorful space, though a few notes point to maintenance issues like a lack of shades and a strong odor in one bathroom. Overall, Pastel Rita comes across as a popular, comfortable cafe with tasty options and a welcoming staff, where most guests say they would return.
Okay just mostly coming on here to warn my fellow non-coffee drinkers that they have a terrible chai latte. Looks super cute, but there was no actual tea in it. It was just steamed milk.

Crazy about this place - great colours, vibe, food, staff - but two stars bc the bathroom smells like a horrible outhouse. Happy to reevaluate review once they fix this problem!
Exceptional quaint coffee shop! I liked how helpful both the writer & the chef were! I have gluten intolerance & they went beyond the usual recipe to accommodate as well proposing alternatives! Also, coffee is so delicious & their Matcha i warmed my heart of a cold day!

Very cute coffee shop with a good menu of drinks, food & treats. The service was fast & very friendly. They had a seasonal rhubarb lemonade that was very good!
Buzzing ! Musiques & bruits de fonds de conversations multiple & commerce adjascent de piercing & tatouages. Bon goût de la nourriture & déco branché . Arrière goût du café filtre inconnu ? Pas aimé. Pas donné...
A very welcoming place, the smiles abound, big bay windows give it an airy & open feel. What is absolutely unique about this place is their Iced lime latte, which I never expected would be such a smooth & delicious combo! I have not eaten here yet, but I'm guessing it must be very good!
