Pink Pistachio, the pink-and-pistachio-themed cafe that got its start in New Jersey, is finally making its Columbus debut this Friday in Grandview Heights. The grand opening is set for 3 p.m. at 1072 Dublin Road, with an all-day menu that runs from specialty coffee and pastries to baked ziti and ribeye steaks. Owner Farah Ilyas, who has called Columbus home for about 12 years, helped convince her brothers to bring the family-run concept to the neighborhood.
Opening Day And Owner's Take
As reported by WSYX, doors officially open at 3 p.m. Friday at 1072 Dublin Road in Grandview Heights. The cafe said in a statement that it "prides itself on its unique blend of modern elegance and globally-inspired cuisine." Ilyas told the station she "has been living in Columbus for about 12 years" and wanted to bring something like the Somerset concept to the city.
From Somerset To Dublin Road
Pink Pistachio launched in Somerset, New Jersey, and lists Columbus among its upcoming openings on Pink Pistachio. According to NAI Ohio Equities, the operator signed a lease for roughly 3,223 square feet at 1072 Dublin Road, marking the brand's first Ohio outpost. That kind of footprint points to room for both counter service and a sit-down dining area aimed at brunch and dinner traffic.
Menu And Mood
WSYX highlights a menu that stretches from specialty coffees and artisanal pastries to baked ziti and a ribeye steak, setting Pink Pistachio up as a true all-day operation. The brand leans into a pastel, elevated dining-room vibe that its social channels and website treat as a key part of the experience. For diners, that translates into one spot for morning coffee, weekend brunch and later-night entrees under the same roof.
What It Means For Grandview
Pink Pistachio's arrival adds another sit-down brunch-and-coffee option to the compact dining corridor clustered around Dublin Road and Grandview Avenue. The transaction listing from NAI Ohio Equities is one more sign of the steady retail leasing that keeps bringing new concepts to Grandview. With a roughly 3,200-square-foot space to work with, the cafe is positioned to handle both a morning rush and evening service.
For opening-day details, hiring information or a Columbus contact, Pink Pistachio provides a local email on Pink Pistachio. Expect early lines; the cafe's colorful look is clearly part of the pitch for Instagram-hungry brunch crowds.
