Unbelievably delicious coconut cake. Couldn't tell it was gluten free. Tasted so delicate yet firm, not at all crumbly like some gluten free cakes. Perfectly furnished with a decadent frosting that isn't overly sweet. We will be back!
Great place to relax and catch up. The dessert counter is the main attraction with their well prepared cakes, tarts and cookies. If you want a good no frills style cake and coffee with cafe ambiance, this is your spot. I could compare it with more some other dessert places that have a theme e.g. southern, Italian, donuts, eclairs, but i won't. They do their thing really well with good food and really excellent personnel.
Loved the Fruit Tart & Brownies. It’s one of best dessert I have ever tried. The staffs of pastiche looked cute in their baker apron and the service was quick and prompt. I just wish it wasn’t so crowded. The restaurant is way too tight - so I had to opt for take out !!!
Yum yum yum, I love pastiche! Who doesn’t? The coffee is great, the desserts are amazing and the service is excellent. It’s always crowded here on weekends as people go to get after dinner coffee and dessert but definitely worth waiting in line for. The to go line is usually short and goes quick. I’ve only dined in once and I don’t think I’d do it again, the small space is a little too crowded for me.
I came back to Providence after almost ten years just to savor the flavors at this pastry shop at Federal Hill. Not much has changed, with its iconic logo and bright teal colored shop front. The pastries and just as delicious and the service is warm and welcoming. It brings me back to the days when I used to be a college student in his small quiet city
This place is adorable and delicious. Best hot chocolate ever. We live in texas and we will be back!!
Small interior, but the wait (if you have one) is definitely worth it. Lots of options for dessert, very friendly staff.
Elmo excellent desserts as well as the service. The wait wasn't as long as they originally stated. Will definitely go back!
The desserts and service are really good. It's a little overpriced. Parking in the area is almost impossible to find on a Friday or Saturday night.
Pastiche is the best dessert restaurant around, hands down. I have too many favorites to name but they include the fruit tart, banana creme tart and peanutbutter brownie. Their coffee and espresso beverages are great too!
Awesome desert place.
It's the perfect place to walk to after dinner on "The Hill" for a change of scenery. Literally everything they have is excellent.
Amazing desserts! The staff is very helpful and friendly too. The coffee is also excellent. There is metered parking all along Spruce Street that isn't too expensive, especially compared to Boston rates! Only downside is that it's small, so going at peak hours will be cramped and finding seating could be hard.
Cake heaven. Most beautiful cakes and tarts in Rhody. Our choice for our wedding and any time we really want to impress guests. Also a delightful spot for coffee and dessert after a strenuous hour of shopping on Federal Hill.
Cozy little cafe with delectable treats from the gods!
Decision making is very difficult here. Everything looks delish and you'll want it all. But at $8 a slice, you're gonna have to pick one. Or roll with a posse -- slices are large enough for sharing.
I had my eyes on the banana creme tart, creme cheese brownie and carrot cake. The latter won and it didn't disappoint. Not too sweet, but perfect enough to satiate my craving. I paired that with a latte. It was superb -- not at all your mediocre 'brown water'
We got there just in time to be seated without a wait, but seems like it gets very busy, so don't be surprised if there's a line or wait time for a table.
Parking: street. Busy area, so it might take a while to find a spot.
After having dinner on the hill, we decided to head over to Pastiche to see if we could get in. Last time we ventured on over was a cold day last winter and the place was packed. It was no fun trying to eat our treats outside.
This time was pleasantly different. When we arrived there were several tables open. We were able to sit at a booth. The ambiance was perfect, the fire place was on, and lighting was cozy. The staff was very friendly.
We each got a hot drink, and split a special for the day, raspberry Cheesecake. It was an excellent sized portion and our drinks were delicious!!
The price was cheaper than having dessert at some of the restaurants on the hill, and the quality is awesome. Definitely recommend coming here. We were never rushed, but it did start to get busy with people waiting for tables and take out as we left.
