Delicious treats for any pistachio fan! My husband and I really enjoyed both things we got and it's really nice inside very fancy!

Dripping in chocolate and good company Sweet endings done right at Pistachio Café in Morton Grove My friend and I stopped in for a post-dinner treat and it did not disappoint! We shared waffle sticks -- one loaded with Kinder Bueno and the other drenched in Nutella -- both absolutely dripping in chocolatey goodness. Paired with almond milk cappuccinos that were smooth, creamy, and perfectly balanced, it was the ultimate cozy combo. We wished we had the stomach to try more from their menu, but honestly, this duo hit the spot and then some. The perfect way to wrap up the night, it was sweet, rich, and totally worth every bite. read more

Haven't been here before the remodel so this was a first attempt of trying to go here. It was ok tried pistachio gelato ice cream. Their pistachio latte didn't really taste much of the pistachio. Biscotti latte was ok, a bit too sweet for my liking but overall not so bad. read more

This place was a huge miss for me sadly. i had high expectations given all the media hype around this place and my love and constant obsession with dubai chocolate anything. space is huge and nice. i was really excited when i walked in... until i saw the menu board. they have similar items to melt n dip but the prices were all $2-3 higher than melt n dip which is already priced pretty high. food: -portion sizes are really small for the price -dubai cake.. the best part of the dubai style desserts is the crunchy katifi. it tastes stale and really unpleasant. the top chocolate part of the cake was really good though and made up for it -baklava.. fine. nothing crazy but for the size.. it should have been a bigger piece pros: i liked that they have self serve water available and service was ok sadly will not be back read more

A most try place it's the best. Me and my kids enjoying the ambiance the food. It's our favorite place for dessert. The service is excellent

I read some of the negative reviews. Some I can see the service lacking. Others gave 1 star just because they failed to look up the hours and automatically assumed they'll open or remain open for their entitlement. Yeah, not how it works. You can't just go there and start pounding the doors in the morning, when they open in the late afternoon (week days). Or be one of those people that come close to closing time and assume the kitchen will remain open. Like any regular restaurant, the staff will start cleaning up close to the closing time and lock the doors. I believe 3.5-4 is a fair rating. It was busy on a Saturday night, so it took awhile for them to make our drinks. I took pictures with the timestamps so it took 14 mins. We finished our desserts way before that. The other thing is the case that has the fruit cakes, milk cakes, etc, it would be nice if they posted prices for all of them. So, the drinks were moderate for $6 each. The banana fruit cake was $10 and the mango was about $13-15 range. The banana really did taste like banana on the inside. The mango one had some real mango chunks inside, overall the taste could be stronger like the banana. Drinks were great. We got the lotus milkshake and passion fruit mocktail. The milkshake was a lot smoother and not as thick than most American style milkshakes. Service was very friendly. Prices were moderate to expensive. Honestly, the people complaining about how super expensive it is, they should not go in the first place if the place has luxury in the name. The website and the shop both said "luxury dessert lounge." read more

I actually like the pistachio coffee. Not too sweet but could taste the pistachio. We ordered the dubai chocolate cake. Ita not overly sweet and oerfext combination of chocolate, kanafi, pistachio cream. We also ordered the pistachio cream and yummy too! The service is great. The place looks really nice, not fancy but comfortable. There are other desserts that i could try next time! read more

Been here more than a year ago and missed this shop when they shut for renovations. But I'm really glad they reopened. The revamped shop is stunning and they improved with space utilisation by adding more seating area. Coming to the desserts, they have the BEST knafa in Illinois. Period. However, it was bit extra sweet for me. I would like to suggest the management to give the sugar syrup on side like they used to before they shut for revamping. The new items like real fruit cake and other pistachio desserts were good. Also the mango real fruit cake is my new favourite and it melts in the mouth with perfect texture and sweetness. Truly amazing. If you are in and around the neighbourhood this is the place for sweet cravings. We drove all the way from Aurora, IL to this shop just because it's the best!!! read more

This is a popular place, so expect to wait a while. It's often a long line to order, then a long wait after you order for them to bring your food. (An exception is if you order to-go from the ready-made items from the fridge, like the cheesecake, they can box it up for you right after you order--but everyone in your party has to do that. If someone orders a waffle stick, you're gonna have to wait.) Many desserts here are very sweet, but you might not mind that because they are desserts after all. The atmosphere is busy but friendly. Plenty of parking right outside. read more

Tried Pistachio Sweets and it did not disappoint. I got the passion fruit drink, which was super refreshing and not overly sweet. For dessert, I had the waffle sticks with Lotus and Kinder flavors both were really good, warm, and perfectly crispy. The toppings were generous without being too much. Overall, everything tasted fresh and well made. Definitely a great spot if you're craving something sweet and fun read more

This is one of the rare spots that everyone in my family loves to go to. Because it has something we all love! My wife and I go crazy for the Dubai chocolate covered strawberries. My kids love it as well along with the Lokma Nutella. Their gelatos, teas, and coffees are also stellar. The new interior is absolutely stunning and makes the food and drinks taste even better! This place has it all. And I can't end this review without mentioning how great the staff is (including their owner who constantly checked in on us and made sure we were happy with our choices). read more

Lokma with Pistachio and Kinder Bueno was sooo good, fresh doughnuts and very saucy which I loveee! Also tried the Biscoff Latte which was pretty decent, I was expecting it to be super sweet but it wasn't overpowering so just a heads up to super sweet tooth's like myself lol aside from that, service was good, and seating was very clean aesthetic. read more

Walking in, the place looks really spacious & chill. The employees there were really kind & patient while we looked through the menu, so, that was really nice. We ended up getting two of the small fruit cakes, some gelato, and baklava. The gelato was solid, and the mango fruit cake was AMAZING. It had a great flavor & I would definitely get that again. The other flavor (I want to say it was strawberry?) was not for me. Maybe it was the texture, but, I didn't really enjoy it. It was also my first time trying baklava, and honestly, the flavor was delicious! But the dough part of it, almost tasted a bit stale. I will say, we went pretty late so that could've contribute to it. Overall, it's nice to go there for the vibes! But it was a bit more on the pricey side (About $10 for each fruit cake) so, it's not a place I'd personally go to frequently. I'd definitely go again to try some of the other stuff on the menu though! read more

We stopped to try the viral fruit pastries. Visually looked amazing . I had high hopes and was excited. We bought 3 for $10 each . I bit into the first one and it just fell apart in my hand. The chocolate itself was very thick and didn't taste like quality chocolate. The filling inside was okay, nothing to be amazed about . For that kind of money, we will not be back read more

We got a pistachio waffle with a scoop of ice cream. The ice cream was an extra $4 charge which is pricey but whatever. The waffle itself was overcooked and hard and honestly inedible. In the picture on the menu it shows a drizzle of pistachio but our waffle was DROWNED in pistachio sauce. Disgusting and a waste of money. $18 for a waffle and scoop of ice cream cannot be real. read more

If you have a sweet tooth, Pistachio Sweets is the perfect place. The desserts are covered in some type chocolate such as Oreo, Nutella, Kinder Bueno, etc. I do wish they would add some fruits with the chocolate, but it would cost an extra $2. I don't have a sweet tooth but I do like their coffee especially their Spanish latte (hot or cold). The ambiance is chill. A good place to get dessert after dinner. The staff were attentive. read more

The sweets was great. The coffee not so much. I got the pistachio latte and the espresso in it kind of lacked and the pistachio flavoring tasted so artificial. But now the sweets were delicious. We got the lokma which is fried dough with drizzle of your choice and we got it with the Kinder Bueno which was delicious. We also got a personal size kunafeh which was so good. Definitely eat it while it's hot. There's plenty of seating inside and such beautiful art work on the walls. Service was quick and they brought everything out to your table for you. read more

Good Middle Eastern dessert place with Middle Eastern style coffee. Prices are a little steep, but the decor is nice, service is good, and it's open late. It can get crowded, but it's popular for good reason. Reminds me of a place I like in the Doja airport, only the electrical outlets are American. read more

Very friendly and helpful service. The waffles were made fresh at the shop and the pistachio sauce was delicious. Nice ambiance in the shop.

An ideal spot to appease your late-night sweet tooth. We sampled the lokma with chocolate, which was a delightful choice. The service was excellent. However, be prepared for a potential wait, as the place can get quite crowded. The decor adds to the overall charm, and I'm certainly planning to return to explore more of their offerings. read more

My husband and I came here on a Saturday evening and couldn't believe how slammed it was. There were SO many people there- Omgosh!! I didn't expect to see that many people at a dessert place at 11 pm at night but if you think about it, there's not many places like this in the Chicagoland area. In Europe, South America and Africa, cafes like these are very common because people love to drink coffee and dessert even if it is into the late hours of the night. People who don't drink alcohol and don't hookah but still want a social place to hang out find comfort and ease in such cafes. I love the hustle and bustle atmosphere so much- reminded me of being in Europe. Cleanliness: very clean place. They have a server who was going around and wiping down the tables as soon as someone would leave and bringing water to the table as needed. I also noticed that the server was picking up dishes and cleaning up the floor after people. There were little children there too and the server was so patient even as they made a mess. The bathrooms were clean as well- bonus point is always when there is enough toilet paper because lately some restaurants have really been slacking in this area! As you can see by the pictures, you could see how they prepare the sweets and sometimes people can leave their finger prints or some type of mark on the glass. I can say that even though there were hand marks while we waited, the server came by and cleaned them. I also observed him cleaning them again as we ate our sweets so I know that he is very detail orientated on cleanliness. Because you can see how your food is prepared, there really is no reason to have mistrust with how your food is prepared because you can see what they are preparing and the cleanliness of the area. Staff: More of the staff could use a smile or two. You will notice that this is a business run completely by men, I saw no women from the cashiers to the food preparation which is fine but man, they just looked so mad haha! I've taken a lot of cultural competency courses at work to understand that that's just how some cultures operate (which btw is okay, to each their own) and that some people just don't have that warm ambiance to them but that doesn't mean that their business isn't warm. The atmosphere created by the customers is what makes it warm and welcoming, you want to be there. The space itself and the art is kind and makes you happy to be there. The food: DELICIOUS! My husband and I were on the fence about what to try but then decided on thr kunefe which is house made. Kunefe can sometimes take some time to make but they had it ready for us to eat within ten minutes. I wasn't in the mood for coffee so I had tea with the kunefe. It was so good, drooling now thinking of it. It's a sweet dessert so the tea complimented it but I wish they had more choices of tea to choose from. They only had two and they weren't such great choices to begin with (green tea and earl tea). Anyways, it worked out. We will be back to try the rest of the menu because there is SO much to choose from! I highly recommend this place, perfect for a late night snack or an outing. They also have outdoor seating so perfect for a late summer chill spot. Can't wait to go here with more of my friends! read more

Hidden dessert gem in a strip mall. The space is huge and well lit with plenty of seatings. We only got drinks and a small slice of baklava, but would love to come back to try desserts, from Lokma to baklava to kunafeh (which they said will Be made to order) The staff was helpful in customizing my friend's smoothie drink to omit sugar per request. I enjoyed my pistachio latte, but thought the flavor was a bit artificial. read more

I saw this place online and decided to come with friends for some dessert after dinner. This place was so packed! The interior is clean and spacious.

Happened upon this place when my friend and I wanted to continue our visit after brunch. I ended up spending several hours there ordering in stages - smoothie, tea, coffee, knafa. Everything was great especially the knafa which was the best that I've had. Take note of the hours which are different from most coffee places but perfect for people like me. read more

My first time here, I ordered a crepe with nutella and fruits, a waffle with pistachio and fruits, and 2 iced lattes. I used cash for the transaction and the employee went straight into making my order without changing into new gloves. I was taken aback, so I had to ask him to change his gloves. You don't have to look around much to notice the place isn't clean. The sweets were alright and the coffee was mediocre at best. Can't see myself ever coming back. The one star was for the sweets. It's practically 100 degrees outside, please have proper AC on. It was musty in there. read more

Such a cute place! Nice ambiance and great kunafa. Unfortunately, they messed up my order and even after telling them they didn't attempt to make it right. I would also stay away from the pistachio topping as it's very lackluster. And don't bother with the brownie skillet, the brownie is soooo dense and lacks flavor. I'd come back just for the ambiance, kunafa and coffee. read more

We were in the mood for some dessert so decided to stop here to get some dessert to go. The place was much bigger than I expected. They had customers constantly coming in and they were able to keep up with the orders. We ordered a few different crapes and some coffee. Everything was excellent and each crepe had a unique taste. The service was professional and the ambiance was great. I will definitely be back here soon. read more
