Review Summary

Pastel Rita is widely regarded as a bright and aesthetically pleasing destination, featuring a vibrant decor that many visitors find ideal for studying, socializing, or enjoying a relaxing break. The establishment is frequently praised for its high-quality coffee, including popular matcha and London fog drinks, as well as its satisfying food options like the croque monsieur. While the staff is often described as friendly and welcoming, feedback regarding service speed and pricing is mixed, with some noting that takeout can be slow or that items feel expensive for the portion size. Despite occasional concerns about temperature control, music volume, or maintenance, the overall consensus highlights a warm, trendy atmosphere that makes it a popular spot in the neighborhood.

Le meilleur café du plateau. Bonheur, qualité, look, j'adore!

Clairement mon café préféré dans le Mile End !!
Il a l'air assez populaire car il y a souvent du monde, mais il y a beaucoup d'espace pour tous les acceuillir.
Le café est bon, les cookies aussi. Le personnel est agréable & rapide.

Very cute little spot. I stopped here on a hot sunny day while on an epic walk around the city, needing something cold to drink as a refreshment. I ordered an absolutely delicious fizzy berry thing in a can, which the bar staff served to me on the rocks in a lovely little tumbler. Enjoyed the vibe, the music & the sunshine.

Minus one star only because the ceiling fans were going at full speed but there were no blinds or shades on any of the untinted windows, so basically everyone was melting in there & possibly getting sunburned like little ants under a magnifying glass… no idea if they have AC or not but highly recommend that the owners consider installing shades before summer really gets going.

Really great place especially in cooler weather or windy summer days. Because it was so hot when I did go here a few months ago

A very cute cafe with a welcoming ambience & unique, refreshing beverages. I tried a matcha limonade for the first time & fell in love with it.

L'endroit est beau .
J'ai commandé un matcha avec sirop de vanille à emporter aujourd'hui, mais en le goûtant après être partie, j'ai remarqué qu'il ne contenait pas du tout de sirop de vanille seulement le goût du matcha … je suis vraiment déçu
