Pistachios In The Park - Lewisham

Awfully rude staff (the older members of the team). Will not be going back. The longest queues — but when you know you’re a busy cafe do you make coffee one by one. Buy a bigger milk jug. Help reduce the queue who wants to queue for 20 mins and be met by rude and arrogant people?

The idea that service is everything is ridiculous, as both times I have visited this cafe, including just last week, I have been met with unfriendly, unsmiling staff. I will give it one more chance today to see if anything has improved. It's disappointing, because the cafe has a charming atmosphere and offers a wide selection of menu options and treats.

This restaurant is a tidy and cozy spot that is a perfect place to escape in both winter and summer. Their affogato is fantastic and they have delicious homemade cakes. They offer free water for kids and dogs, as well as a selection of newspapers.

We are very fond of Pistachio's and given that it is hardly ever quiet obviously so are lots of other local people. This is not a cafe to visit if you can't cope with crowds, fresh air, dogs and noise. It should be no surprise to anyone from first sight of the building that this is how it is. It stands in the middle of a very well-used park popular with families, runners,dogwalkers, staff and students from the school a stone's throw away and lots of other local residents. The menu is short and clear and the food is freshly prepared to order. I find it very odd that the previous reviewer expected a full English breakfast, as it is obvious from the menu that that isn't on offer. The coffee is good, the service is quick and I've always enjoyed the food. Long may it thrive!

I visited Pistachios in the Park on a Bank Holiday Monday, hoping for a nice cooked breakfast. However, my experience was far from pleasant. Despite checking their website and menu beforehand, I was disappointed to find that the menu was different upon arrival. The staff seemed confused and unaware of basic items on the menu. The food I ordered was subpar and poorly cooked, with uncooked spinach and underdone eggs. The service was also lacking, with staff members forgetting my tea and being unhelpful. To make matters worse, I was asked to leave by a rude older woman without being given a chance to order more. Overall, my experience at Pistachios in the Park was disappointing, with poor quality food and rude service. I would not recommend dining here.
