Our Journey Began With a Dream
Pistachio Cafe started with a simple goal—bring the flavors of our Middle Eastern home to the heart of New Haven. Having grown up surrounded by the smell of coffee, fresh herbs, and warm bread, opening Pistachio was our way of sharing those memories with others, one dish at a time. With two locations in New Haven, CT, we offer a fine dining experience with timeless Middle Eastern dishes in a peaceful setting. Each one gives you a different way to enjoy our food.
A Menu Experience Like No Other 🍽️
Our Syrian breakfast is served family-style with fresh bread, creamy labneh, rich olive oil, and sweet jam. Our coffee menu features traditional Middle Eastern drinks like Turkish coffee and cardamom latte alongside modern favorites. Our desserts come from around the world - baklava from Lebanon, tiramisu from Italy, and French pastries. Each bite tells a story of its homeland.
What Makes Pistachio Special 🌟
We honor age-old recipes passed down through generations. We're one of the few restaurants in the area that still makes dishes the way our grandmothers did. Every spice blend is mixed by hand. Every sauce is made from scratch. We use only the freshest ingredients and coffee beans roasted weekly. Our outdoor seating at both locations also lets you enjoy your meal in the fresh air.
