Pistachio Coffee Latte

Pistachios have been cultivated in Turkey, Iran, and the Middle East for over 9,000 years, the oldest pistachio-growing region in the world. In Turkish cuisine, the pistachio is revered above all other nuts, featuring prominently in baklava, künefe, and countless sweets. The pairing of pistachio with coffee is a natural marriage in Turkish culture, where both are consumed together as part of the traditional coffee ritual.

Pistachio-flavoured coffee drinks gained global attention after Starbucks launched a pistachio latte in the US in 2021, but the combination has been a regional favourite in Turkey and the Middle East for far longer. The rich, slightly sweet, and nutty flavour of pistachio complements the bitterness of espresso in a way that feels both exotic and familiar.

At Cappadocia, our pistachio coffee latte honours the Turkish heritage of the pistachio, a premium pistachio syrup is combined with a double shot of espresso and velvety steamed milk, topped with crushed pistachio for an authentic finish that connects our coffee menu to our broader culinary identity.
