This a quaint little spot that serves consistently yummy food, provides good service, in a clean and comfortable environment. I'm not a vegetarian but have enjoyed several of their vegetarian options. I work in the office Tuesdays and Thursdays. They are closed on Tuesdays so I can only come here on a Thursday which I do a couple of times a month. Do recommend and plan on returning... often
Nothing like a slow morning to just chill, chat, and brunch! We stopped by this cute and cozy place that had delicious food with generous portions. A few menu items feature their namesake ingredient- pistachios. Service was very friendly and our food came out decently quick. Overall, we'll be back for another brunch session! Order: Pistachio Latte Almond Latte Iced Mocha Shakshuka w/ Sausage Pistachio Cheesesteak Vegeterian Omelet
This little spot is truly a hidden gem, me and my mom stopped inside for a quick lunch after seeing it in passing by, and I'm so glad we did. The food came out quickly and the owner was so kind, he made sure we were taken care of and had everything we needed. The coffees were strong and flavorful, the food tasted fresh, and the inside was clean and spacious. Highly recommend if you need a spot for lunch, as it does close pretty early.
I really wanted to try shrimp and grits without bacon. I know that smoky bacon creates that classic "southern comfort" flavor but I prefer letting shrimp shine. The chef was a little skeptical about my request but he still allowed me to order it without bacon. I added a touch of Cholula for smoky heat and created a Mediterranean-forward, chopped tomato rich flavor. I did not want bacon to hijack this harmony :) Polenta itself was so creamy that I will have to ask for their secret. I cook it at home occasionally but it's always grainy at home. I received a complimentary bag of Turkish pistachios as a first time guest. It made my day! I'll be back for more shrimp and grits and to try their pistachio pancakes.
Lovely pistachio-themed restaurant. Such an underrated spot! The line on a Saturday morning wasn't bad at all compared to other brunch places nearby with lines that wrap around the block. Food was delicious and tasted so fresh. Portions are on the smaller side. A lot of the menu items are on-theme with pistachio pancakes, pistachio smoothie, and other fun items. They were out of pistachio baklava that day, so definitely need to come back to try it. Pistachio smoothie: 10/10 Soo good and creamy. It's the perfect blend of banana and pistachio nuttiness. Pistachio pancakes: 8/10 Some solid fluffy pancakes. Couldn't really taste the pistachio flavor, but still delicious. Salmon bruschetta: 10/10 Very light and refreshing. The salad was so good with the tangy dressing. Toasted bread paired well with the smoked salmon and microgreens. Shakshuka: 9/10 Loved how flavorful this was. Came with pita bread. Sauce was really rich.
Pistachio Kitchen is a super cute cafe off of Franklin and Pine St. The owner is extremely friendly and made us feel welcomed and taken care of! I ordered the breakfast burrito and iced pistachio latte. Both items were delicious! The burrito was super filling, and they did not skimp on the bacon. I will say it was a little bit greasy on the exterior but very tasty overall. They have a huge selection of hot sauces to choose from. The baklava was outstanding and I really enjoyed the pistachio latte
Food: French Toast with fruit Presentation was nice, but taste wise, it really depends on whether you like your French Toast on the softer or harder side. Me personally, I felt the toast was a bit too soft, teetering towards a mushy/soggy texture that perhaps was a result of the bread not being stale enough. Fruit was great. Service: One of the few brunch spots where it requires you to place your order at the register, as opposed to having it taken at your table. No need to wait for your order to be taken nor wait for the check to be brought over. No issues on my end and my food was brought over in a prompt manner. Ambiance was nothing out of the ordinary and is what you expect out of a brunch spot.
Rating: Visited: 11/2 around 11:30 1. Overall Experience: Overall good experience server was attentive and made sure our food was alright! Short wait about 30 min. Bright open dining area very welcoming and good vibes! 2. Service: Server was good! Made sure we were updated about the wait. 3. Food / Product / Service Quality: Food was alright, i got the grilled veggies with salmon, the salmon was overcooked for my taste and the carrots were a little on the crunchy side. Didnt really taste the lemon vinaigrette and thought over all the dish needed more seasoning. My friends however got the bacon omelette, fresh fruit french toast and fries! Overall i would give the veggies and salmon a 6/10, the omelette 8/10 french toast 7/10 and fries 7/10 4. Atmosphere / Environment: [Describe the vibe, cleanliness, music, lighting, or overall feel. Example: "Cozy spot with low lighting and great music. Everything looked clean and well-kept."] 5. Value for Money: The grilled veggies with salmon is the only thing i think was overpriced for what it was ($27) however the french toast and omelette were about $18 each and good value! 7. Would You Return?: Def would return to at the least try the bottomless mimosas! It's worth going back and trying other dishes as well! (I saw chilaquiles on the menu i would def try that! The shrimp and grits also smelled amazing! )
Food Rating: 7.25 Price: 8 Ambiance/Service: 9 Overall Rating: 8.08 Visited: Sunday, around 11:30 AM Wait Time: ~30 minutes (they do take weekend reservations!) The restaurant is spacious and lively just a bit loud, music was great. They gave us each a piece of pistachio baklava on the house. The service was quick and fast. Water and ordering was self service. Bacon omelette - $20 Rating (9/10) I really enjoyed this dish! Beautifully presented and perfectly cooked. The texture was light and fluffy, and the flavor combination really worked. French Toast - $17 Rating (7/10) The French toast was a little soggy. The fruit on top was super fresh. Roasted Veggie Bowl + salmon ($8) - $25 Rating (5/10) The veggies were okay but could've used more roasting for depth of flavor, especially the carrots. The salmon, unfortunately, was overcooked and dry, which made it taste fishy. There also needed to be more lemon vinaigrette overall. French Fries - $6 Rating (8/10) Lacking seasoning. But the fries were super hot and fresh.
love this cafe for working or chilling -- there's lots of tables and space. the menu has lots of unique offerings like pistachio latte ($6.90), which was good but the syrup was all at the bottom and a little too sweet
Local restaurant with Turkish coffee and pistachio offerings. The shakshuka was the best I've had within the area. Very fresh and flavorful. I loved the fresh fruit with the French toast. Ordering is very easy, you order and pay at the register before finding seating and the staff brings your food, utensils, drinks to you promptly!
Great neighbourhood spot with nice ambiance and great pistachio latte. Tried their avocado toast and shashuksa with beef sausage - both tasted delicious. Service was fast and friendly!
Great Turkish coffee ! The staff are both the kindest and most helpful folks guiding you onto the best choice for drinks! Shout out to Ahmet and Edgar! These two guys were so outstanding today! Ahmet remade my Turkish coffee with cream compared to the shot by itself. Such a great difference in taste yet rich in flavor ! Thank you guys for your hard work and smiles!

I was starving for a breakfast burrito while getting my car serviced nearby. Found this place approximately a block from Honda dealership, which turned out to he a gem. Although crowded, I lucked up on a table as people were leaving just as I finished ordering. I love breakfast burritos and this one did not disappoint; probably the best one I've ever tasted. Everything tasted so fresh a d 'light' and well seasoned. The bacon was crunchy, just how i like it and the eggs not overcooked. I dont know what the chef did to those potatoes, they were seasoned to perfection and very tasty. If you're ever in the area, check this lil spot out. read more

I love the place! Great food selection, great service. Today I had the pistachio pancakes, layered with p&b, banana slices, blueberries, raspberries, pistachios. Words can't describe how delightful each morsel tastes. Total comfort. And their coffee tastes good too. Live jazz in the background- couldn't get any better. read more
Came here for brunch and wow this was a tasty meal. The shakshuka with beef sausage was super flavorful and beautifully plated. And their fresh pressed juice is refreshing and complimented my heavier meal. The staff there was very friendly and it's a very casual ambiance. Tables are first come first serve after placing an order at the counter. Would come again read more

Pistachio kitchen is the real deal for breakfast foods. I love the diversity of options including a lot of good foods for meat lovers and vegetarians. They even have pistachio and chocolate croissants! I got the vegetarian omelette and the pistachio smoothie and both were absolutely delicious! If I had to pick a favorite food though it would have to be the perfectly cooked and crispy side of roasted house potatoes. I will literally come back just to eat those again! The pistachio smoothie was also something I've never had before and I'm so glad I tried it! What was even more impressive was how fast the service was. I got my food in less than 10 minutes after sitting down and the wait staff was so kind. Come here for a nice meal in a cozy restaurant tucked away in a quieter part of SF. read more

Such a nice little spot to drop in for lunch. A group of us stopped by on a Friday afternoon, expecting very little. I tried their shrimp and grits and was surprised at how good it was! My party also enjoyed their meals as well, albeit theirs was less if a cultural challenge. Thanks Pistachio staff! read more

Love love love the Pistachio Kitchen Such a hidden gem Service is amazing, everyone is so so sweet! And even gave us THE MOST DELICIOUS pistachio baklava on the house, 100/10 recommend The ambiance is nice and comfy, it had the most welcoming vibe ever. Plenty of seating, everything was clean The food was amazing! I forgot to take a photo of my breakfast burrito but it was so good and a very generous size potion I also ordered a pistachio latte and it was one of my favorite lattes ever I am so glad we stumbled across this restaurant, I have zero complaints, I truly couldn't recommend a place more! read more
This is a solo diner's paradise! You order at the counter, but you get restaurant-quality food. I find that the presence of the counter gives it a cafe vibe that makes it very easy to feel comfortable as a solo diner. The music was also very relaxing (specifically un-obnoxious saxophone covers of pop songs). The shakshuka was full of value not just from a flavor and freshness standpoint; you also get a great mix of carbs, fats, and protein in this dish, which I really appreciate as a solo diner. Oftentimes, you go out on your own and have trouble deciding what to order because many dishes are huge and either really carb-forward, fat-forward, or protein-forward, and often not super nutritious. This dish was really balanced, so I didn't feel like I needed to order multiple dishes. Environment: the dining area is very clean, not claustrophobic whatsoever. Beautifully but simply decorated! The service was very friendly, and they even gave me some baklava on the house, which was also tasty! I really appreciated this gesture. I cannot wait to come back and try more of the menu and pastries. read more

This place has a modern and friendly atmosphere with spacious sitting. The pistachio latte is not like anything I taste before, it's so rich, nutty and flavorful. I also want to add how friendly the staff is, and that's why I give my experience here a five star read more

Providing and update...I tried the burger and fries and OH mah'God. So good. They must use like Angus or Wagyu or something bc this was a very tasty burger. The fries were cooked to perfection.... Slight crisp on the outside, fluffy soft and airy on the inside. I can't believe I lived in the area for so long bypassing this place. It's fantastic! Service was sweet as usual...a funny blend of counter/table/kitchen members serving food. It just works. read more

This was a marvellous find on a recent trip to San Francisco. We repeated our visits for the next two days that we were there, sampling their delicious offerings! I enjoyed lavender lattes every morning along with shrimp and grits, then a breakfast burrito that was delicious and finally a vegetarian omelet! Fabulous food and service plus a lovely sunlit location close to our hotel! Wonderful! read more

I would've given five stars because the food is excellent; the atmosphere is soothing; and the service is kind and friendly, even as they are telling you with a huge smile that there are no refills on their uber expensive iced tea. This is bad business practices. They probably don't care because the majority of their guests are tourists who won't be returning. read more

We will definitely come back here again next time we visit SF. The avocado toast with egg white was the best I ever had, the only thing that could make it better would be if the bread was healthier like a dark sprouted grain bread. The yogurt with granola do fruit was really good, creamy with a pleasant taste. A healthy "dessert" after the meal. My husband got bacon omelette with veggies and he liked it. I tried the pistachio latte with pistachio milk and it was delicious, although too sweet for my attempts to make healthier choices. Daughter's herbal tea I think called orange dream was amazing. Husband didn't really like his Turkish coffee, it was plain black, without any cardamom or sugar. We had Turkish coffee before at a middle eastern restaurant and it had cardamom and milk. Portions: generous portions, I shared with my daughter and feel full. Healthy options and good range of options for different tastes. Parking: street parking, we got lucky with a spot close by. Space: when we came there was one last table available for us and one was "reserved" yet nobody sat there for a whole hour (are they keeping it for a random VIP?). Consider checking availability if you want to dine in. No bad smells inside the cafe, it's very clean, and it's dog friendly. We didn't see the bathrooms. read more

I'm in San Francisco on a mini vacation. I plan on eating and sightseeing, as a vacationer does. I booked my reservation beforehand, and I was able to come in earlier than my reservation. I had 2 iced lattes, one pistachio and one lavender. They were so tasty, and STRONG(I don't drink coffee too often). I'm amped, not only from the lattes, but from the excellent service and atmosphere. Purely enjoyable. I was even given a free pistachio baklava. It was so tasty. Flaky and sweet, and melts in your mouth. I will be visiting again to bring some baklava home with me! read more

We came in from out of town and didn't know what to try, everything looked so too. Gaby helped us pick our breakfast and it was delicious. We had the breakfast burrito, French Toast and the Huevos Rancheros - all 3 were amazing! All the servers were helpful and attentive. Will definitely be back if we're ever in the area! read more
