Absolutely the best for ambiance, healthy food, limited vegetarian choices. Soups are needed for those of us not liking the mess of a side salads. Many entrees are already served on a bed of lettuce and slice of bread. Note: Kitchen CLOSES for orders of meals at 3:00 pm on weekdays. Very vintage with great entree presentation. I love the quiet areas with single seating if you prefer coffee only while working or reading. This cafe has a boho and a one of a kind vintage feel. Nice crowd with people of all ages and a friendly staff. Very unique bakery desserts but Priced equal to most specialty coffees. Self seating with payment and order in advance on an I pad. Choose your own table and food is served to you! A large menu to choose from. Seafood entrees would be nice for vegetarians. Even a tuna or shrimp plate with soup and salad. One REQUEST.... PLEASE serve HOT specialty coffees in different cups or add a cover to keep them HOT. My pistachio goes cold well before I finish my meal so I skip dessert for that reason. Perhaps offer a refill. Ice is needed near water dispenser. Truly a diamond in the rough! I highly recommend pistachio coffee, cafe, and everything within it. read more

Pistachio Cafe - Salmon and avocado served w pistachio latte, hot or cold , a side salad and served on bread , very gourmet ! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New Haven, Connecticut

My son and I stopped in here over the Christmas break while we were in New Haven. It was cold and the ride from New Jersey was long enough that we wanted to grab a coffee and pastry. Wonderful selection of baklava and similar pastries. We ordered a coffee and I had a specialty coffee and we ordered 3 of the various pastries. It was more than $30. I did not ask the price on the pastries prior to ordering- so that's on me. This has the feel of a local stop and regulars so if you're in the area it's worth checking out. read more

Fabulous coffee and a super comfy place to start our Monday morning. A lovely barista took great care of us as we were a bit delicate, having spent the night in the Sprinter van in the nearby Cracker Barrel parking lot. A latte for Mrs. K. and a cortado for me, with it some Turkish Delight (original rose water, of course) and two small squares of walnut baklava for me. Absolutely perfect and such a comfortable place to sit for a bit. Beautifully decorated, comfortable seating, great coffee and so many delicious treats available. I was not able to get the wifi to work. No worries! [Review 948 of 2025 - 105 in Connecticut - 24503 overall] read more

Walked in the door yesterday morning and totally loved the vibe in this cafe! We were there early so it wasn't busy- perfect for a quiet quick breakfast. The baristas were super nice and friendly. I loved my pistachio latte (which I had to order)! This is a must stop for an amazing latte and a great girly cozy vibe. read more

Came here 9:40am on a Sunday. We were assigned a seat and told to come to the counter when we were ready to place our order; as we did. An hour later they came with our "hot" lattes served luke warm and one was missing. Wish it was served hot, like a latte oughta be. They said it would be 20min for another chocolate bliss to be made. Instead of being next, they put us on the bottom of the queue. Over an hour later the drink never came out. Why wouldn't they make it a priority to fix an error? We finished eating. We skipped the dessert because I was so upset to have to wait so long for an error to be corrected. Poor kid watched every one have a drink without having one. Not cool. It was now 11:40, when I asked to speak to the manager to complain about my daughter's drink not coming out, he told me wait because he's busy. I object that I've already been waiting over an hour, he says "no you haven't" My 15yr old then tells me "Mom it's ok, let's just go" she was only upset we were waiting for nothing thinking it'll come. No way to treat customers! 1star because this ruined my Mother's Day, and there's no way I can get the day back! I definitely rather not come here again. What a shame because I really wanted to try their desserts. Instead of trying to rectify things, the manager reach out to justify it arguing with me. I would never recommend this spot. A pretty place is nothing without proper service and appreciation for its customers! I barely eat fast food, I am not understanding why would he compare it to that, as if he's insinuating that's what I'm used to? You can see from my other reviews, I don't bash and rate unfairly! read more

I live in florida and am here for the weekend on business. I wanted to find a cute little cafe to work at. Pistachio cafe in New Haven did not disappoint. Such a chill and vibey atmosphere. I love a cafe that has couch seating, it just brings a different aesthetic, warm, cozy. It gives let's put our phones down and actually talk. Love it! The staff is also so nice and accommodating. Giving their recommendations and what customers favorites are. I got the chocolate almond bliss, amazing! And anything with a beautiful design from the barista gets me every time. Food I got the classic sandwich with a garlic aoli, so good. The hash browns though! These are the best hashbrowns I've ever had. The crispness was perfect. If I lived here, I would be here everyday. Definitely a yes for me. They also have another location as well. read more

Although this is the original cafe, I enjoyed the second location so much more on Chapel St. Walking in was not as bright. It was darker, and unfortunately so was the service. There were 2 gentlemen behind the counter that just took our order, but had no other conversation or connection. The ambiance was very pretty just like the other cafe but definitely smaller. I had the pistachio latte and it was delicious. So was the pistachio cake! But the rose and orange water lattes were not my cup of tea. They tasted very florally, like you were drinking actual flowers or potpourri. I like how they serve the same items but if I were to go back, I'd probably go to location number 2. read more

Overpriced chaos: Very friendly staff and pastries were okay but pretty much everything else was bad. It's very unclear where to order so people crowd around trying to figure it out. I ordered a tuna melt and orange blossom latte. Latte sat at the counter for about 5 minutes before anyone brought it over or called my name. The person who brought out the tuna melt called it a tuna panini so very unclear what I got. It was tuna but cheese was not melted. My husband got a mushroom and cheese omelette and a waffle. They brought out the wrong food to him and did not even notice that they were handing him a sandwich while saying it was a waffle. The waffle was the wrong one. Pumpkin spice instead of classic. The omelette was very bad. Egg texture seemed fake and it all tasted like refrigerator. No silverware or napkins provided and the plastic ones you can grab cannot cut the food. Everyone appeared to be getting the wrong food brought to them. $70 for gross food. read more

I wanted to Google a local breakfast/lunch spot and this place had great reviews. My first time here and I must say that I was very impressed!

I will definitely return to try different menu items. Thumbs up!! read more

Ok, ladies & gentlemen...here, we have one of the nicest cafes I have ever visited. It is perfectly situated at a corner location, has large windows, and the entire site has plenty of seating. The staff member, Mohamed, was extraordinary. He told us the history of this cafe (5 years of age), explained the drink menu, created great beverages, and made our stay memorable. The decor is ornate, eye catching, aesthetically pleasing, charming, and I enjoyed how every area had a different theme and feel. My drink.....wow!.....was called, Spicy Mexican Mocha. This speciality drink was AMAZING. Every sip caused a welcoming warm/spicy feeling all the way down to your chest. A perfect drink for the winter. The pastry was just as good as the drink and thoroughly enjoyed. I had the Cappuccino Cake and is highly recommended. If you prefer to have food or a meal, Pistachio Cafe can oblige. They have a full menu ranging from Paninis, Omelets, Salads, to even a Syrian Typical Home Breakfast for 3. I cannot wait to see other Yelpers review this cafe and I'm glad, that I took a quick detour from I-95, in order to witness it for myself. Ohhhh, I almost forgot.... if you don't want to veer too far off from I-95, Pistachio Cafe has a second location that you could enjoy. read more

Have been here a handful of times but my most recent experience was amazing. Not only is the decoration inside absolutely beautiful but the employees are so kind. I stopped in to get myself a treat after a breakup, the girl working the counter clearly could see I was upset and gave me macaroons for free and sat and chatted with me. All of their food is fantastic as well as all of their drinks! Cannot recommend enough. read more

Pistachio Cafe - Look at this pistachio latte! It is like artwork, but delicious as well. Great ambience and kind staff. Will definitely be back. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New Haven, Connecticut

A wild collage of flowers, antiques tables and chairs pairs with a unique cuisine and menu! The staff are patient (so menu options) and willing to make suggestions. Offers come out in a good time. Be sure to check out the dessert case!! is a great spot for a second date, meeting a friend, or a group of friends. I have seen some people solo, studying or working. (Being headphones!) The Whalley cafe has a paid parking lot across the street, but there is some parking along the other side streets. Very walkable area with sidewalks and shade. read more

Last Saturday, I came to Pistachio for my favorite, a pistachio latte with simple syrup. Everything went fine for the initial visit! When I got back to my car, I dropped my latte and it spilled all over the floor of the driver's seat. I went back to Pistachio and Ty graciously made me another one. Ty's customer service really made my day, and my visit exceptional. Thank you!! read more

This is a cute, cozy cafe with a delightful interior. I love the pistachio name and theme. The extra hot pistachio latte made with pistachio milk was creamy and delicious. The dried rose petals and crushed pistachio on top was the perfect touch. Highly recommend this latte. I would not recommend the pastries. The carrot cake and chocolate croissant were extremely dry, disappointing and way overpriced. I'm not sure if they were old or if they are made this way. Service is good. read more

I went at an off time and my date was a little cranky. But immediately it is hard to maintain a bad attitude in such a cozy and clean place. I was hoping the hot chocolate would be super rich and fluffy but it was just ok. My date loved it and drank the whole thing. The macarons weren't super fresh and kind of artificial tasting. The baklava was ok. They had samples of cheesecake that I would absolutely order another time. The ambiance is definitely worth a visit. I will absolutely be back for the ambiance and to try the coffees and maybe a different treat. read more

I will start by saying the ambiance is nice in here. The decor is unique that adds an old fashioned feel to the place. Plenty of seating with big tables. When you arrive you get seated and given menus. When you are ready to order you make your way back to the kiosk and place your order with a server. We waited a while for the food. That's understandable being that it was mother's day. But it wasn't packed when we arrived around 9:30 am. We got the food and the coffees at the same time. The coffees looked nice but unfortunately weren't hot. They were luke warm. And one of the chocolate almond bliss did not arrive. They said they would add it to the order and it would take about 20 minutes. It was way past 20 minutes. We just ended up leaving. It was disappointing. While we were making our complaint, another customer was asking why havent they been served yet. Its unreal. The mood ended up being ruined. When it was all said and done. I would say they should have a waiter to take orders. And not have the person working the register or kiosk also bringing the food. read more

I love baklava , but what they sell here is not good. There is no flavor and it tastes like it's made with shortening instead of butter.

The food was almost too pretty to eat! Lovely atmosphere, and the macaron selection made it difficult to choose!

I had high hopes for the place after hearing about it. It's certainly unique and "instagrammable" on the inside, which always gives me pause as to how good the food actually is. Unfortunately my suspicions were proven right. I ordered the fig tartine, a side of turkey bacon, and a pistachio latte. The tartine was super small -- $14 for one small slice was pretty disappointing. The flavors were unique, with the savory brie + the sweetness of the fig and honey, but I wish the toast was warm... it was a bit cold. Great concept in theory, execution was meh. And the side salad was way too drenched in dressing. The turkey bacon was just okay. The pistachio latte was pretty good, but not amazing. Overall, it seems like the place is more for the vibe rather than the food. Maybe I'd just come for a coffee. Service was good though! read more

This year my birthday was on Memorial Day, when my family asked me where I would like to go, I said Pistachio Cafe. Given that Memorial Day is a major national holiday, I wanted to make sure they were open, so I called, and sure enough they were. We drove over 45 minutes on this rainy day, to find out they were only "partly open". They were open for coffee and desserts, but the kitchen was closed. A small detail no one shared with me until I arrived. Needless to say, I was disappointed. Pistachio Cafe uses Giv coffee beans for their coffee. I ordered the rose latte. Others in my party got the peach tea, and a regular latte. This as expected, was so delicious. It arrived in a mug, with a frothy coffee, and some dry rose petals on top. It was a bit sweet, but truly very good coffee. The other latte was also very good, it had the word "Pistachio" carefully written out in chocolate. They had a whole variety of tasty desserts, but I wanted food, which they weren't accommodating with at the moment. The inside is so beautiful! From the wall art, to the seating arrangement, and the chandeliers, it would have been the place I wanted to have lunch on my birthday. read more

It's just lovely. The decor is so interesting and vibrant yet the vibe is warm and cozy. There are many choices in types of seating depending on why you're there. If you want to work and enjoy a hot drink, there are tables for that. Want to sink into a plush chair or sofa for some cozy conversation - plenty of seating. If you want more of a sit down table restaurant vibe, that's around the back away from the bustle of the front door. The coffee is the kind where you have to stop yourself from sighing "mmmmm" after each sip and the baked goods are rich and delicious. Fully recommend this cafe. read more

What a delightful cafe to come enjoy a coffee, some lunch, and a treat for your stay. The menu was great and filled with a variety of options served fresh. I ordered the 45 loaf bread , topped with avocado, feta cheese, sesame seeds and olive oil. Served with a side of house salad. I'm happy they used quality cold pressed olive oil and this tartine was so light and tasty. The service was refreshing and the workers were inviting and friendly. The cafe in itself was so cozy. I enjoyed getting some work done while I sat cafe side and enjoying my lunch. The walls are filled with really cool pieces and aesthetic layouts with old radios and frames. Overall, a very nice place for lunch. I'd absolutely come back for more. read more

The price of items in this place is criminal. Lovely place and depending on who's working depends on the level of service you get!

I ordered a mushroom-cheese omelette with hash browns and toast. I noticed immediately the "hash browns" were actually a microwaved frozen hash brown, which was disappointing. The bread was toasted but hard and cold. The omelette was the weirdest and grossest part--I think it was a frozen/microwaveable omelette!I've never seen anything like it in my life. I took a bite and the cheese was still frozen! And the mushrooms were rubbery and cold. I asked them to fix it and I swear they just put the entire plate in the microwave. The hash browns and toast were hard as a rock and the omelette was now crispy. So gross, disappointing, and at $25 with tip, a waste of my money. Diner eggs way better (obviously). read more

This place is charming and has Instagrammable ambiance. I came in at around 10:00 and didn't see many people, making it a quaint experience. The pink neon sign and walls flourishing with foliage makes it easy on the eyes. Beyond being a bakery, they also offer a selection of sandwiches and coffee - making it a nice lunch or caffeine spot. However, if you do plan on eating in, do expect some pretty slow service which is what I experience. The sandwiches were decent, but nothing mindblowing - especially not with the wait. Pretty large steak fries came with the sandwich which was certainly different from the chips or french fries. The fries were actually quite tasty, but not very warm. The pricing is normal in the current market that we're in, but you do kind of expect a bit more food with that price point too. Overall, it's a decent spot for a cozy meal in a pretty setting. Don't expect to be blown away, but prepare for a solid aesthetically focused experience. If you've got time to spare and fancy a nice sandwich in a quaint environment, give it a try. read more

I've tried a number of times now thinking it was my order. Nope, it's just not good. The pistachio latte is not good. The vanilla latte didn't even taste like a vanilla latte.
