Pistachio Café in New Haven is an absolute gem and quickly becoming one of my favorite spots in the area. We tried the Pistachio Latte and the Almond Latte, and both were outstanding — rich, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The baklava and the cashew‑nut cake were equally impressive, with fresh flavors that paired perfectly with the coffee.
The ambience is warm and inviting, with plenty of seating and a relaxed vibe that makes it easy to settle in. Parking is conveniently available in the paid lot right next door, which is a big plus for this part of town. The location itself has a great energy and feels perfect for a casual hangout or a quiet coffee break.
If I had to point out anything, the decorated seating area could have been a bit cleaner — our table had some dust — and the service was slightly slow. But honestly, given that their specialty drinks take time to prepare, it didn’t feel like a major drawback.
Overall, Pistachio Café delivers fantastic coffee, delicious desserts, and a lovely atmosphere. With just a little more attention to cleanliness, it would be flawless. Still, it’s absolutely worth visiting for the drinks and the vibe alone.
First time here. Food was artistically presented and delicious. My friend and I shared brunch meals. We had salmon tartine and rose waffles with a rose latte and a honey ginger latte. All were yummy. Atmosphere relaxed and cozy. Highly recommend!

If you are looking for a time capsule, then voila! this is it! The architecture is stunning. The art fills every space seamlessly, and most importantly the space is just a good vibe. The coffee equals in measure. The desserts are love at first bite as they are crafted with love.

My daughter and I went to the location on Chapel in New Haven. I had the pistachio latte, and she had the rose latte. Both were very good, even on what was a very hot day (Thank you, Lydia!) We also ordered lunch and dessert. It was pretty busy, but Alexa (😊), our server, was pleasant and didn't rush us. When finished, she even packed up our leftovers and brought out a bag to help carry. We appreciate that extra thought as we were also carrying out coffee and waters. Will come again.

This place had great sweets and service. The barista made really nice cappuchino drawing. The pistachio cake was really good. I had issue with cleanliness of the space and seats. That's why 4 stars.
