    HOT - PISTACHIO LATTE , Almond Latte
    Cheri L.

    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

    AVOCADO TOAST

    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.

    A complimentary bag of Turkish pistachios!

    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.

    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

    Baklava

    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

    FRENCH TOAST- FRUIT
    Alan P.

    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.

    Veggie bowl with grilled salmon.
    Jacob F.

    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.

    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!

    Pistachio latte
    Lety C.

    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!

    Love these

    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!
