    Super cute!!! Great vibes but we wanted to eat and it was really confusing. We had to go to the center of the shop to wait for a hostess to seat us then once we sat down we had to go back to the same place to order. I dunno!?!?? They wouldn't give us a real cup of water. We had to use tiny little water cups and refill them a billion times which isn't the end of the world. The shawarma wrap had pretty good flavor but was dry. The pecan bar was really good. I think if you go for a something baked and a drink it would probably be great. Don't think I'd go back for real food though.

    Fabulous little gem in Westville (two miles west of downtown) a delightful little village with art galleries and restaurants. Pistachio has awesome decor and wonderful coffee. Next time will try one of their “Pistachio” lattes. Crème Brûle cheesecake was not as good as it looked as probably not recently baked. But would definitely recommend it Brunch/Lunch menu. I highly recommend and will be back!!

    Everything is special in this place, starting with the decoration to their special lattes. The rose toast is out of this world and it’s better than the waffle. The salmon avocado toast was so good. They have so many varieties in bakeries and sweets.

    When we first moved to New Haven, we fell in love with Pistachio but lately, it has been such a rip off. I've managed coffee shops and can not comprehend how an 8oz drink and a coffee cake slice rings up to $15.

    their cakes and coffee are delicious but there are no prices on the menu board. it’s also a strange choice to not list prices on the pastry displays, and the person behind the counter seemed annoyed that we wanted to know what things cost. when we asked how much for the cakes, they said “it depends on what you get.” which is true but that’s a crucial piece of information for a business to share with a customer. they also have signage that says to see host before being seated, but no host is available to direct. we wanted to get coffee and pastries and sit for a few minutes but they didn’t ask whether we wanted to eat in or not and gave us our food in takeout containers. if you can ignore the chaos and don’t mind the confusion, it’s a very nice space with pretty decorations.
