Pastel Coco - Gatineau

I wish I could have sampled a taste of everything here. It all looked sooo good(see photo evidence). Also had a pistachio latte which was really delicious too!

Sadly my husband and I have always found vegan dessert options to be either overly sweet or just not great. Not the case here. Pastel Coco is just fantastic. I can’t wait to try everything. We found the desserts to be nicely balanced. At least that’s our opinion. The staff there is super amazing and accommodating. Also, I once contacted them by email and received a response almost immediately. Plus they continued to communicate with me making sure all of my questions were answered. They are just fantastic!!!! If I had one negative feedback, it would be that I wish they had a better website with menu pricing etc. I also wish they would keep it up to date.

Wide variety of delicious treats and products. I especially enjoyed the scones and coffee.

This place was exceptional. We got a s’mores rice crispy, blueberry danish, and focaccia bread. They have a whole section of GF options, and a section that contains gluten. Definitely check it out! And it is right beside Astoria Bistro Botanique, we went their for lunch and picked up dessert at Pastel Coco

Super nice spot if you're looking for a quality snack. A seasonal menu completes the year-round drink menu, which is already pretty good. I especially love the moon mylk, you can really taste the lavender in it (especially in the hot version, as every drink can be served hot or iced . A friend of mine tried the wild flowers drink, a spring special, and loved it. I tried the watermelon soft serve, which is a summer special, and absolutely loved it. I was amazed by the taste of it. I also tried the tropical flavor, but it's less original (still good though! . The servings are bigggg. I'm a bit less enthusiastic about the pastries, as I tried a few ones without being a hundred percent convinced. I had the tiramisu, the lollipop carrot cake and the lemon pie, and even though everything tasted good, it wasn't as amazing as I'd expected. I'm pretty difficult when it comes to pastries, and I know that a lot of people enjoyed their dessert at this place, so I'll keep trying new things every time I go. They really have an amazing choice of desserts, from classic recipes like the tiramisu to original stuff like the yuzu macarons. Still trying to find the perfect pastry out there! The place is cute, there are a few indoor tables as well as one outdoor table on the street, but we don't have access to the outdoor patio of the restaurant next door (which is directly connected to Pastel Coco .
