    The cafe had a very beautiful feel, the decor is eclectic. I expected something different based on the social media presence. Sadly, reality did not meet expectations. The desserts were mediocre. They looked and tasted like they were purchased from a wholesale supplier like Cisco. The presentation fell flat with sloppy plating with whip cream from a can. Carrot cake was oily, the pistachio cake lacked any real pistachio flavor the “green cream “ was icy and the chocolate cheesecake was dense and lacked the texture and taste of cheesecake. It was more a fudge texture. For the price of $11.00 each dessert the expectation is to be presented with great quality and equally attention paid to the plating. I really wanted to love this place as it reminded me of cafes in France but it was a one and done.

    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.
