A favorite for us. The brunch offerings are delightful, especially the baked eggs. The coffee is strong and lattes are very good. You will have a difficult time selecting from the beautiful dessert case! Nice patio with seating, as well as indoor seating.

I am a dessert fanatic, and this place thrills my taste buds every time! Their macarons are my absolute FAVORITE dessert of all time, especially their signature pistachio flavor. I've tried most of the other macaron flavors as well; all of them have a wonderful texture and potent flavor. The cashew caramels and pistachio strawberry dacquoise are also delicious. The... More

I really hate to admit this, because we live around the corner from the place and don't want to stand in line in the future. This is the best food in Columbus. The menu for the brunch is truncated, but everything on it is exquisite. The pastries taste the way pastries often look, but seldom taste.

A great place for french baked goods! The macarons are phenomenal. We always get the 12-pack assorted macarons to take home. The dozen sampler is $15 and is perfectly boxed and even tied with a cute green ribbon. It even comes with an enclosed card that lists all of the macarons in the assortment. We've been here twice and it's... More

If you live in Columbus and have not been, go. If you are traveling to Columbus and want to try an exquisite french pastry shop with great ambiance, Pistacia Vera is in a class all it's own. My latest trip included a prosciutto ham and cheese croissant. They have work-of-art desserts that will wow people at special occasions and great... More

I visited this bakery for macarons. They were delicious. The bakery is clean and the service is good. It is a good place to spend some time if you are in German Village.

I love this place! I have been there a few times to take macarons home with me for Christmas. It is a lovely treat for myself and my family. They have a great variety and everything we have ever tried was fantastic. It is not inexpensive - but as a treat - we think it is worth it!!

The desserts here are simply amazing! I wish I could remember what the chocolate mousse thing i had was called but it had like a red velvet cake on top. Sure it was a little pricey but it was worth the money for sure. Their tarts are also incredible and my wife loves the macaroons. If you're downtown you must... More

Stopped in after a shopping trip in German Village , the pastry was great. We enjoyed sitting on the patio on a warm Saturday afternoon. We could have eaten one of everything.

Staff is super friendly and service is great! Enjoy the breakfast with amazing croissant and eggs.. Their chocolate bread/cake by the register is the best thing ever! Their macarons and all other pastry are great but a bit expensive. Sit outside if you can..
