Pistachio emerges as a popular destination for dessert lovers in Montreal, praised for variety, presentation, and a comforting, instagrammable vibe.
Super cute place for all of the girlies & influencers (which I am not but I have a monthly budget for sweets!) I got the viral trompe l'oeil & it was a little disappointing. Took them to go & the box opened in the car had to eat them on the way. Beautiful on the outside but tasted like regular vanilla ice cream on the inside with rock hard interior. Good for pictures!
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!
Love this cafe! Great little dessert & ice cream options. I had a pistachio cheesecake, pistachio Baklava split inside with baklava ice cream & pistachio ice cream. Also with a pistachio ice latte. Everything was made internally & was delicious! My new favourite place!
A lovely little shop with a fresh vibe, refreshing ice cream, & delicious desserts. The staff were friendly & patient, & let us sample several flavors. Highly recommend the pistachio & blackberry ice cream, the pistachio is distinctive, & the blackberry is bright & appetizing.
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!
Make sure to check this place out if your looking for a sweet treat!😍🍦🍧🍨🍰
I discovered this place on my way back to home, & it's delicious.
The ice cream taste is very natural & creamy while the sorbet keeps a good balance between the taste of the fruits without being too sweet.
After tasting the sorbets, we decided to buy one white chocolate+baklava & also a cake. I have to come back for the other flavours. I think this place will be the perfect place in autumn to enjoy a good coffee & dessert.

The best in all of Montreal is Pistachio store. They have many options & fresh croissants in different flavors, suitable for breakfast. Excellent service. I ordered a piece of mango'trompe l'oeil'. The taste was amazing, rich in natural mango. I give it 10/10. They also have ice cream flavors in different & wonderful flavors. I highly recommend it.
This is my favorite ice cream spot. It's social, has a good vibe & music, great service, excellent ice creams & ice cream desserts & the space is still intimate 🙏🏼💕
Desserts are good. The employee was very nice, very enthusiastic about us trying all the different ice cream flavors, even recommended us some that we would like. The decor is very cute & instagram-able. Would come back again!
