Desserts are generally described as delightful and made with quality ingredients, with highlights including the pistachio trompe l'oeil, kunafa cup and pistachio cream based treats, and the ice creams and coffees are well received; some mentions note high prices and occasional inconsistency in flavors or service, and a few items fall short or feel pricey for what is offered. Overall Pistachio is seen as a standout destination for pistachio lovers, a place to savor striking desserts and enjoy a nice atmosphere, with many planning to return.
Absolutely love the desserts here! Everything looks so delicious, it is hard to choose! I love the pistachio baclava ice cream cake.
Melissa, our server, was lovely!
10/10
They are quite expensive imo. I got one thing of the pear cake & a slice of chocolate cake & my order came to around 30 dollars. Their fruit cakes are priced at 15 dollars & a slice of cake is 10 dollars. The pear cake was nothing special tbh. The jam itself had minimal flavour. I think they are charging more for aesthetics if anything. The cake was good though. It was moist & the cream was very light. Was it worth 10 dollars? Nope but it tasted good & I'd consider it a worthwhile splurge.
The mannequin by the window genuinely creeped me out. The rest of the decor is very nice though.

Great ambience, very nice service! We took some desserts to go & the server told us she would keep it fresh in the fridge while we had our treats here. I had pistachio gelato (tastes like real pistachio) & my bf had the ice cream cake, which was good & presented nicely!
I can't understand how all those food bloggers claim that those trompe-oeil cakes are so tasty & amazing. It's an overpriced crust full of color around basic cream with no flavor or nice texture. Even the cheese cake is sub par. The chocolate ice-cream tastes like cheap basic cacao powder. Everything looks good, but nothing i tried tasted good or was worth the price.

we got a huge order for my family 2 chimney cakes, ice cream & a mango trompe l'oeil for my parents. they don't really eat sweets but they really liked it. the chimney cakes were delightful as well. & the service ? 10/10 definitely worth the detour!
We were around 8 guys & Melissa was working by herself. She still managed to provide top quality service, with amazing Dubai chocolate chimney cake. Everything tasted great & she was extremely nice. Will come again when I visit montreal
The pastries all tasted the same… it's just chocolate mousse.
We ordered the coffee, pistachio, & Dubai chocolate, & all tasted like a chocolate mousse.
For 15$ each cakes, it is not worth it at all.
Won't go back.
Beautiful desserts! A fabulous spot with a wonderful selection of desserts! We had the black forest ice cream cake & the creme brulee chocolate ice cream cake. Pure indulgence!!
The staff were lovely & attentive!
