Every place that can create brownies without gluten or dairy, and which still taste delicious, deserves five stars. In addition, staff was super friendly and the interior is modern and up to date. The cortado coffee is great as well. Recommended. The washrooms were clean. They ate located in the basement and are not wheelchair accessible.

I was hesitant to try this place because I'm English and my french is terrible at best, however, the waiter spoke English with me. I didn't ask him to but there is no hiding how terrible my french is and I did appreciate it even though I was prepared to power through. I've had some bad experiences in restaurants in Quebec but this guy was kind and didn't make me feel stupid for trying. I was also nervous because I'm a newly diagnosed celiac and hate feeling like I'm being a bother about my food,however, i get so sick if I eat wrong that I truly cant risk it. I have had many bad experiences eating out as a celiac, either with hidden gluten in my food or snotty waiters who clearly think I'm lying. This place was not like that at all. This place was higly rated as celiac friendly and boy are they ever! They have a special section in their main menu for gluten free options. The waiter was very kind and took me seriously. They changed out the cutlery and use different everything for celiacs to avoid cross contamination. I was immediately put at ease. Between myself and my two kids we all had different dishes and we all loved what we had. The gluten free garlic bread was so incredibly good i wish I had more! If I'm ever in the area again this place would be on my must visit list for any meal.

Came in today to pick up a handful of pastries for my grandmother. I have been here many times and always had a very pleasant experience. Today was an exception. The entire store was empty. The woman at the pastry counter was a disgrace. She was unreasonably rude and had us stand at the counter and wait for her to finish eating infront of us. There was another woman at the counter sitting in a chair who acknowledged us, but also chose to not help us. It is - or was - a tradition for us to visit Pastel and Coco on our way to see family, about 4 times a year. I will admit that the woman's mood seemed to drastically change when she realized that we do not speak French. I struggle to understand why that would permit her to treat a paying customer so poorly. It's a shame. Vegan and gluten free pastries of this quality are hard to find, but polite service isn't. Disappointing.

Love this place. It's like a warm refreshing hug in an otherwise dreary part of town. The service is friendly and they even accommodate me by making me my favorite sandwich on gluten free bread. Great spot to work or just sip a latte and enjoy the posh decorated space.
