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..

The first time I visited I had breakfast there and placed a bakery order for later pickup the following week. The staff was very helpful , and extremely polite. They seem to know the regulars and their orders as they enter the... More

Pistacia Vera is just a dream come true. A picturesque location, a gorgeous interior, and every delicious French bakery item you could imagine. The macaroons are not to be missed. Every flavor- you just can't go wrong. I don't know why I waited so long to order food and stay to enjoy it- for years this has been a treat... More

We read about this spot in the trip advisor list and decided to try it. Great choice. All of the reviews are accurate. The food is freshly prepared with creative twists. The pastries not only look amazing but taste that way too. We had breakfast by the sidewalk window overlooking the quaint German Village in downtown Columbus. With attentive service,... More

ideal spot to enjoy a light bite and drink while touring Columbus' German Village. The pastries are first rate and the staff are both well informed as well as gracious. If you're looking for a little gift to bring back home as a souvenir, this is the place to buy macaroons, cookies, or other goodies.
