Pistachio seems to have changed management, and the service is not as good now. We went for a couple of lattes and sat to talk and mingle. One lady came and ask us to move to another section because this was for dining, although there were 2 other empty tables and the section we were sent was saturated. We have to ask for to go cups. The cups we were given the lattes are definitely smaller than those in previous administration, and the lady has to steam more milk to fully fill the to go cups, and she didn’t add back the lavender flowers. So, to have them on store represents drinking less for the same cost. Certainly not nice, plus, making us stand and move, I have never seen this before. Too bad the greediness is affecting your service and amount of food you provide. I would have given a 5 start in any of my previous visits. I have a picture of those lovely times and the drinks were normal size, and the pastries outstanding. I didn’t I order pastries this time.

Amazing experience. Staff was phenomenal. Food was delicious and high quality. Coffees were great. Atmosphere was gorgeous! A MUST TRY! A bit pricey, but what isn't these days?Parking: Went early morning, so street parking wasn't horrible. Can't say what it would've been like around the lunch time hour when the city is alive.

The food is okay, the drinks are fine, but be careful when you're ordering the desserts. They're very pricey and very disappointing. They don't list the prices for the desserts so you should ask before ordering or be in for a surprise.I got the vanilla flan, which turned out to be $11(!!) total, and it was the worst flan I have ever eaten in my life. Rubbery and off putting in taste. The texture was so bad that I couldn't muster more than three bites before having to throw it away. The macaron on top of it (not pictured) was half soggy from sitting on cream and was the only thing edible in this dessert for me.I've also tried the chocolate brownie ($8), which was very dried and had also the wrong texture. It was airy and more cakey than brownie. I also left most of this uneaten.The fruit smoothies ($4.5 to $6.5 depending on sizes) are also not suggested, as they too taste strange, very icy, and don't taste much like fruits.

Imaginative and attractive decor, and comfortable. House rules allow for easy conversation. Excellent staff. The pastry display is eye popping temptations that I have enjoyed in Westville and the city locations. Wonderful selection of coffee, teas, and other non-alcohol selections. The menu sets up choices for the first and subsequent visits. Pistachio is frequently our intended destination from Wolcott.

Such a great combination of flavors and atmosphere. Delicate and warm. What a place to spend a rainy morning. My server Loretta was an absolute sweetheart and made me feel very welcome and helped with some recommendations since I'm from out of town.

What a beautiful quaint spot. Very elegant and lovely. You enter to either be seated or order at the register. I ate in and service was great. I had the Caprese panini and added chicken. It came with the fries. The food was great. The vegetables were a surprise. It was pickled and really good. I had Harvest Green Smoothie made with almond milk. LOVED IT! This place I highly recommend.
