Review from Tiff L.

I live right upstairs from this dessert house, so I may be a little biased. I walk past their store everyday when going to Finch station (it's only a little south of the station).
I had a sesame ice cream crepe, you can substitute the crepe with waffle for $1. To say the least, it was the best crepe I ever had! I felt like a fat-ass afterwards, but I was tempted to try their pumpkin latte, which was so-so.
It's a small store that can only fit up to 20 people, but the ambiance is casual and lighting was bright. You can choose to sit outside on the patio, but it was full so I sat inside. The crowd inside was mature, mostly couples on dates or business people talking over a cup of coffee.
I will definitely be back considering how close it is from home! -

I admit that I went in because I saw the sticker on the door "people like us on yelp":)
I ordered hazelnut latte, very rich foam, although instead of hazelnut, it has a caramel taste to me, but i loved it.
Love the cream flake cake, just to me the "top" part (whatever it called), should be crispy rather than chewy. Kinda disappointed,
In general a great place to spend some time with friends or just by yourself~ Added it in to one of my regular spots
Yelpper love it for a reason :)Listed in: Happily Being North Yorker ~

After waiting to come here for the longest time I finally came!! YAY!! When I went in I noticed that there are minimal seating , 6 tables i believe.
It wasnt long before we ordered and we ordered the Pistachio Buttercream Cake and the Green Tea Crepe.
The pistachio buttercream cake was very much like a napolean / opera cake to me for some reason. It was hard to cut into but the butter cream melts in your mouth and obviously it becomes really creamy. Personally I didnt feel like there was enough pistachio taste to it .
The green tea crepe was sooo good! The cake was filled with spongecake , whip cream and red bean. With a dallop of whip cream on the side and 2 scoops with green tea icecream which is homemade. I feel like the green tea icecream was so good, it wasn't like the typical store brought gt icecream cause it wasn't as creamy and i liked how it had the bitterness of the tea which really gave it that homemade taste. The crepe was thin and well made. I can't wait to go back and try more desserts!!!
The service was good the people were friendly and talkative and this waiter gave us opinion on which cake to get since we were torn between the pistachio cheesecake and the pistachio buttercream. They were prompt on refilling our cups with water. It was a nice casual comfy atmosphere. Our total came up to $15 and they have a stamp card for every $10 you get one stamp, after certain amount of stamps you will get a free crepe.
one thing i would've loved to see is that they baked their own cakes but they don't they get it provided from rahier patisserie which was kind of a disappointment for me.
you can always look online for their menu. -

Must try their green tea shaved ice, I don't think you can find it anywhere in Canada! The nuts flavor waffle was delicious too. I didn't give them 5 stars because the portion is really tiny.

This is a nice spot to hang out and have a coffee and dessert. If you can tolerate dairy. If not, you can sip your limonata and stare impotently at the dairy-filled cakes on everyone else's table and sigh loudly.
I came here with my friend who wanted to just hang out and have a coffee. No problem. It was a really comfortable spot with soft jazz in the background and really clean decor. It had one of the nicest bathrooms I've seen that wasn't in a swanky nightclub.
If you like desserts, you can flip through their little photobook and order something. The crepes smelled good.
I probably won't be back again since I can't have 99% of what's on the menu, but I was pleased that the coffee and limonata came to $4 after tax, which is much less than I expected from such a nice place. -
Review from Joanne W.
So you want some good dessert in North York? Then this is the place to be! Located in North York in the Yonge/Finch area, this place is a great joint to have coffee and dessert.
My friend and I came here last week. I ordered myself the brownie waffle and she had the green tea crepe. Both are highly recommended. -

Great addition to North York, which is lacking in any options for breakfast. I had the Ham crepe, with an Americano, and both the crepe and coffee were delicious. The service was super friendly, and based on this first experience, I'm excited to try the desert crepes at some point in time as well.
Also, it's listed as $$$, but really it's more of a $, or low $$ in terms of cost.
Hope this place does well, we need more places like this in North York! -

If I was really, really into crepes I think I'd give this place 4 stars. I did grow up in Quebec where après-ski wasn't complete without crepes cooked up in a 100 year old cast iron pan over a wood-fired stove. On the flip side, I can eat my crepe in peace in Pastel. I don't have to endure some 18-year-old joual spouting J.D. playing Ram Jam's Black Betty (http://www.youtube.com...) on the jukebox for half an hour straight. Who does that? Freakin' separatists. *spit*
Anyway, Pastel makes for a nice neighborhood dessert place to take a sweet lady. I had the brownie crepe but despite the name it did not have any actual brownies in it. It was just chocolaty like a brownie.
The decor in the place really rocks. It's clean, nice colors, nice modern lines. The people who designed didn't ignore the washroom either.

Pastel Creperie & Dessert House is a clean, bright and upbeat dessert place.
Red Bean and Sponge Cake Crepes with Green Tea Ice cream with $1 for a cup of coffee
I love Crepes.. but Pastel Creperie's Crepes is more like Crepes with an Asian twist.. Fusion Crepes?? I just don't understand why there is whipped cream everywhere.. the one on the side I can just push it away but the whole crepe is filled with whipped cream..
Aside from the whipped cream.. the red beans and the green tea ice cream tasted A-OK! I was so stuffed after consuming all the whipped cream and 2 huge scoop of ice cream!!
Wish the coffee has refills... really need more coffee to wash down the dessert.
The services here was polite and attentive. Nice Korean waitress with nice smiles...
Pastel Creperie is a nice little dessert place to take your date here for a nice dessert and a coffee. -
Review from Patty H.
North York, ON
Found this creperie & dessert house by accident. I was walking up to Yonge and Finch and saw this lovely shop.
I finally had a chance to visit the restaurant. We have a party of 5, we ordered 2 chicken crepe, frankfurter crepe, green tea and red bean crepe. The crepe is wonderful, the presentation is very nice.
I also ordered French Vanilla coffee, it is very smooth and I wish I had 2nd cup again.
We also ordered the cakes, they are from Rahier Patisserie. Wonderful chocolate mousse cake.
I have searched for a long time for a brunch place in North York area. This is definitely the place to go back next time. -

Yum!
My girlfriends and I shared the Nut waffle(+$1) and the Shortcake crepe + $1 for French Vanilla coffee. It comes with 2 scoops of ice cream as you can tell from the photos in the gallery. Out of the two, I like the Nut best. Every crevice of the waffle had nuts sitting in it *crunch crunch*
It's a wonderful clean place I dropped by for dessert especially after dinner. They also have a variety of cakes if crepe or waffle is not your thing.
The decor is clean and bright! Clean washrooms too! -

I enjoyed their crepes. It was not the best, but I like their reasonable price. The restaurant was also very clean. It is a comfortable and quite place to go to to relax.

The fresh and bright atmosphere welcomes you to cheery servers and delicious food :) Pastel has many desserts,including (if I am not mistaken) Peruvian chocolate mousse. We ordered the nutella crepe (and some other things I forgot about haha) which was moist with flavour. Pastel is for people who have sweet tooths :) Also, Pastel has some brunch crepes which I haven't tried yet,but look good too. Hope I helped! :)

I passed by the restaurant frequently and I never had the chance to try it until yesterday. I ordered a white hot chocolate and green tea crepe (Red Bean, Sponge Cake and Home-made Green Tea Ice Cream). I really liked the unique combination in the crepes and it was indeed very filing and good. The white hot chocolate was a bit too sweet. My friend ordered a hazelnut cake and hot chocolate, and it looked good. The restaurant is very small and service is great. Price wise - I did not think it was overly pricey - it's comparable to Caffe Demetre but it's very quiet environment.

Visited Pastel on a Tuesday evening after dinner. Immediately was impressed with the quant and clean atmosphere at this dessert house. It was pretty quiet and I was seated right away.
The service was amazing. Such a nice server and staff. The menu was accompanied by a book of pictures showcasing all of their dishes. This made picking something alot easier,
I got a Nutella, banana, whipped cream and chocolate ice cream on waffle. It was unbelievable!!!!! $9 and well worth it (big portion)
My Girlfriend got the brownie, banana, whipped cream and vanilla ice cream crepe. Beautiful presentation and even better taste with super tasty dough.
Finally we had an apple tart that was not too sweet and not too salty. Really good but the worst of the three.
Overall everything about this joint, price, service and desserts were amazing and it is a hidden gem in the GTA. -

I do believe Pastel serves THE best crepes in the GTA. Not dry or crispy but perfectly soft and chewy filled with fresh toppings and cream. You can tell they put a lot of heart in each bite you take. They also serve the best decaf latte in the area!
