Crema's Take

Pistacia Vera is a beloved Columbus institution where the real magic happens in the bakery—fresh-baked pastries perfume the air while baristas craft both traditional espresso drinks and creative signatures like their standout strawberry matcha. The welcoming staff and unhurried, sit-down atmosphere make it a place where regulars happily return year after year, whether they're grabbing a smoked salmon sandwich for breakfast or settling in for a leisurely coffee.

What to expect

Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.
