I love this spot, super clean with authentic, delicious food. They even offer gluten-free options, though it's best to call ahead since they can sell out. The coffee is fantastic too, made with Devoción beans. read more

My friend and I visited Anthos for brunch around 10:30 on a Sunday. The line was long and it was consistently like that during the length of our stay. It gave us time to browse the two menus (one drink and one food) and stare at all of the baked goods in the cases up front. After about 15 minutes, we were greeted at the register and placed our orders for dine in. We were given a number to stick on our table and had about 3 open tables to choose from. Our food was out within 10 minutes and the drinks within 5. The caramel Freddo cappuccino was slightly sweet, but delicious when all mixed up. I had the pan au raisin from the pastry case. It was flaky, sticky, and full of rum soaked raisins. I loved it. My friend purchased a chocolate croissant and monkey bread to go. I sampled the monkey bread and it was still warm, sticky, sweet, and so cinnamony delicious. She said the chocolate croissant was flaky and not dry at all. For my main, I had the croquet madame with a side salad. The salad was dressed with a light vinaigrette and had a few cherry tomatoes sprinkled throughout. It was a bright and fresh addition to the otherwise rich double stack of sourdough bread covered in ham and cheese. I thought the bread was toasted perfectly and supported all of the elements on top. I purchased a $5 loaf or sourdough to go and they gladly sliced it for me. The bathrooms are down the hall and are single stalls. The women's was clean and spacious. The dining area is bright and there are a good amount of tables and a few bar seats, but it really does get crowded when it's full capacity and the line weaves through the tables. read more

This place is pretty packed on the weekends! The space is really trendy and beautiful inside. The staff is really nice and really takes the time to explain what items they have in their pastry case even though it gets really busy. They have a lot of pastries and a menu for food from the kitchen. I just had a pastry and coffee which were excellent but I'd love to try their brunch here sometime. Their pastry case is gorgeous and everything is so fresh. They have so many Greek pastries I haven't seen anywhere in pittsburgh before, including filled donuts and many types of danishes. Their hummus and pita were also homemade and so good! Love that they have homemade soup too. They do have a decent amount of seating inside with a coffee bar. I think there is also seating in the back. Definitely a great place to check out for brunch or lunch! read more

Fantastic service, food, and ambiance. A favorite spot for breakfast, lunch, or to satisfy a craving for pastries!

I only had enough time for a quick stop, but this place left me wanting to return before I even left. Family run greek cafe with a lot of love. The owners were friendly and happy to answer any questions about the menu. All the bread and cookies are baked fresh. Just looking at the case of pastries, sandwiches, and breads was enough to make me drool. I wanted to hand over my entire wallet and say "give me one of everything"! I didn't even get a chance to look at the proper menu because I was too busy staring at the display case of goodies. I got a traditional macchiato and a ham sandwich to share with my husband. The cafe is bright and beautiful with plenty of natural light! I love the counter seating area with beautiful blue and white tiles. There were plenty of tables open, but we went later in the day. I'm guessing it probably gets pretty busy when they first open. I'd want to spend all day working or reading a book here! We will definitely be making a return to this lovely spot! read more

There are not enough words to express how amazing Anthos is! I have been there 3 times now. Each time is better than the last. I've had a good bit of the items on the menu. I absolutely love their spanikopita! Their bread is terrific. Their mushroom toast (a bit smaller than the other dishes) is yummy as well. I love their baked goods, their sauces, their people and their vibe. Parking is an odd thing, but don't let that stop you. I think this place is definitely a gem! read more

I stopped by here this past Sunday with my wife and our twins for our morning coffee. Every Sunday morning we try to hit up a new local coffee shop and on this morning we decided to go to Anthos. This was actually my third time at Anthos as I had tried it right after fellow Yelp elite Ellen K had recommended it to me and then again for a recent Yelp Elite event. That event made a positive impression and I just had to bring my whole family back again for another try so that I could write a review this time! Anthos is located at the busy corner of Shannon Ave and Castle Shannon Blvd. This happens to be right near a T station and so if you have little ones like me, they can be entertained by the T consistently rolling by. The inside of the shop is fairly large with plenty of seating and a huge pastry display area. They also have a couple of tables out the back door for you to sit at whenever the weather is nice. For our coffees on this morning both my wife and I went with a Greek frappe, a little bit sweet. Then the pastry case was calling me and so we got a croissant filled with Italian sausage and another with pastry cream and fresh fruit. Finally my wife added a ginger molasses cookie. Even though our order was to go we were given a number and chose to wait at a table outside. Our pastries came out to us about five minutes later and while we saved the croissant with pastry cream and fresh fruit for home, the cookie and Italian sausage croissant didn't make it. Man was the Italian sausage flavorful and I loved it inside of the crispy croissant crust which also had some everything bagel seasoning on it. After about another 10 minute wait where I kept checking the coffee counter area for our beverages, our coffee was brought out to us. The coffee here was good as the coffee itself was darker and the evaporated milk was flavorful. On its own the coffee was on the bitter side, but when paired with that evaporated milk, it was ridiculously good. My wife thought the same and really enjoyed her coffee here. We didn't end up eating our other croissant until the following night but I am happy to admit that it was still delicious. While the pastry wasn't as crispy as it would have been whenever we freshly bought it, it was still flavorful. Then the lemon pastry cream and fresh raspberries complemented each other perfectly and both my wife and I enjoyed it. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. While it's not the most convenient for us North Hills folks to access it, my wife and I have already made plans to have breakfast here on our next date day. read more

Anthos is a Greek oasis! The moment you walk in, you feel like you've been transported. It's so beautifully decorated and there are many Greek items that you can purchase from their retail area. The food is to die for - the breads are made fresh daily. My favorites are the Olive Fougasse and chocolate brioche. But everything is delicious! I need to go back to try some of their lunch items. It's a pretty popular spot and I know why! read more

I've found my favorite Greek restaurant! Wow...this place is terrific, exemplifying the best in Greek food and culture! The owner and staff are some of the nicest folks I've chatted with in quite a while, and the food selections are delicious. Oh...and definately try an iced Greek coffee - super yummy! The place is very well laid out, with plenty of room and art that reminds one of a cafe in a quaint seaside Greek community. Everything is clean...this place is spotless! Although quite a distance from my home, Anthony is very much worth the trip, and taking friends there would be a favor to them. A wonderful spot! read more

Anthos - kotopoulo lemonato special - Greek Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Worth the wait! Awesome brunch spot in Castle Shannon (get in early because it does get crowded and they don't take reservations). In addition to breakfast sandwiches and sides, there is a great assortment of pastries, coffees and other baked goods in the cases. My breakfast sandwich was savory and delicious, bacon crispy, avocado fresh, bun nicely toasted. The marjolaine cake was nutty, creamy, honey-flavored and chocolaty all at once. The lady at the front counter was extremely nice. Our cappuccino drinks had been forgotten and had to remind them a few times (they did come out eventually) but in fairness, it was extremely busy that day and they were doing their best to serve many different tables. Great experience, awesome food, nice service - five stars, check them out! read more

My daughter and I stopped for brunch this morning, and it was our first time here. I got a Greek style Turkish Coffee & my daughter got a Greek Frappe. We got a mix of pastries from the case to include a Koulouri (A Greek style Sesame Bagel), a hand pie filled with Feta, a square pastry filled with sausage, and a piece of Orange Cake. Everything was fantabulous. In addition, I got a loaf of Sourdough Bread to go, which I will try later at home and my daughter bought a Baguette to take to her home. And we also got an Olive Bread which we tasted before we left, and it was delicious . . . (THANKS Anthos) . . . BIG CHEERS!!!! read more

Our group found this place after looking at nearby brunch restaurants. Parking was a little difficult to find, but probably expected near downtown Pittsburgh. We grabbed a parking spot on the street, and walked over. We were there around 2 PM. We had to stand in line and order our food. Someone came and grabbed a table for us, while the rest of us ordered. Customer service was great and the food was not only aesthetically beautiful but extremely good. I'd visit again! read more

Beautiful and bright just like Greece. I will most definitely be back! read more

Anthos is a warm, friendly cafe, staffed by warm, friendly people serving perfect, delicious food. We were there for brunch today and had the breakfast sandwich (fluffy, cheesy eggs, fluffy brioche, crispy, thick-cut bacon, and *huge*), the Greek island bowl (thick, unctuous Greek yogurt, fresh fruit, toasty walnuts, and beautiful Greek honey, also *huge*), and the Kalimera breakfast basket (two brioche buns, a raisin roll, a piece of ciabatta, and a croissant--all top-notch) served with Cretan honey, jam, and butter. Their orange juice is freshly squeezed, and their cold brew is strong and absolutely delicious. You order at the counter and find a table; the staff gives you a number and will bring your food to you. It is evident that the food is being prepared with excellent quality ingredients. Baked goods are also amazing--best kourabiedes I've ever had. The honey sesame almond cookie is absolutely delicious--toasty and not overly sweet. And today I tried the portokalopita for the first time, a syrup-soaked orange cake that was pleasantly but not too sweet, orangey, and so tasty. No matter your order, you cannot go wrong at Anthos. Can't wait to go back to try some more stuff! read more

Holy shit! Greek in my neighborhood?! And I missed it for how long?? No longer. Now I'm a regular: breads are superb (olive I don't eat but buy for friends-superb), whole wheat sourdough (I gobble it up), breads with raisins/cranberries (yes, please), their orange cake (to die for), their cookies and all of their daily sandwiches (yumdumpalous-- I don't know what that means but it sounds like the best way to describe them). The proof is that the place is always crowded. So go early and often. And go visit the other stores nearby. It's a Gastro experience every step of the way. Anthros started something when it opened and it keeps growing. Don't miss it. Your stomach will thank you. read more

We stopped at Anthos for lunch a few days ago. Like others have stated I was a bit overwhelmed when I walked in. The counter is filled with wonderful looking pastries bread and other delicacies. The menu is pure Greek and reminded me of being in Santorini years ago. I ordered the Moussaka and my wife had the Spanakopita, both came with a delicious salad. We loved both of them and had the Loukamades for dessert. On the way out I picked up a loaf of the sourdough bread which was also great! Can't wait to return!! read more

Holy guacamole this place is an absolute gem. I lived in Pittsburgh for a few years until 2018 and there was no bakery as awesome as this Greek heaven. The first day I tried the mushroom toast and it was cheesy mushroomy heaven in my mouth. Really filling too. Friends all around tried various dishes and all were delicious. The second day I came back for baked goods for the road and damn it did not disappoint. I love their Greek groceries too. Come on your payday because you'll want to buy everything at this adorable bakery and cafe! read more

A friend has been raving about Anthos for months and has deemed it the best restaurant in the South Hills. We took advantage of their Thanksgiving menu and sheesh, she wasn't kidding. It was absolutely phenomenal. We had already ordered a complete Thanksgiving meal from V&V, but wanted to supplement it a bit especially since I'm a vegetarian so wouldn't be eating the turkey or ham. We ordered the squash soup and bread to enjoy the day before Thanksgiving. It was by far the best soup I've ever had. I'm pretty particular about my food and prefer my food to restaurant food typically, but I couldn't have made a better soup. It was so flavorful and smooth... wasn't overpowered with onions or anything... just perfectly balanced and spiced. We also got the farro salad and mac and cheese and gosh was I mad at myself for not ordering multiples! The farro salad was such a nice addition to traditional Thanksgiving food, hearty and light at the same time... nutty and sweet while still being savory. The Mac and cheese was better than our family recipe and was so flavorful and creamy. The brioche rolls has such delicate layers and intense butter flavor. It all was absolutely incredible. We were also shocked by the generous portions that we were given especially for the fair pricing. I cannot wait to go back and look forward to warmer weather and enjoying their porch. read more

This spot was super cute. I had to locate street parking which was not difficult. I did not see a parking lot for this specific location. They had tons of options for market purchases, like Greek imported goods. I loved the selection and was not financially prepared for how much I was going to want to spend! There were tons of good options. The bakery case was filled with goodies, I will have to return to try them all! I got a sesame, almond cookie. It was savory and sweet and unlike any other everyday cookie! Super delicious! Crispy but soft at the same time, a flavor profile you will have to try it to understand! I got the bacon, egg and cheese on a roll. It was fresh and tasty and not greasy. It was a big sandwich but still somehow a light sandwich. Yea, make that make sense?! Like how was it so big, and delicious and I was not weighed down after!? Magic, that must be it! Service was ok. Location was really cute, clean and homey. I would recommend this place for sure. I will be going back again to try more; I was not prepared for what I walked into and now I am intrigued! read more

This was our first time at Anthos. We went for Mother's Day brunch and the food did not disappoint. I am Greek so I always feel like I am over critical of Greek dishes, considering I grew up eating them my whole life. I really enjoyed Anthos traditional items and a few unique twists on some classic items. I had Tsoureki French toast which was sweet and savory. My only complaint is I wish the portion was larger! This dish is definitely on the sweeter side because there are cherries, it might have been ideal to add some eggs to my meal for balance. My husband had Croque Madame which he really enjoyed, everything was cooked to perfection. My boys had Mac & cheese and a kids cheeseburger. The Mac & Cheese was a little on the runny side, but my son ate every last bite. And I think we got the wrong burger for my youngest son, we ordered a kids slider and a huge cheeseburger was sent to our table. The burger itself was amazing, it reminded me of when my Papou used to make us cheeseburgers! All of the moms got free mimosas which was a sweet added touch. And there is plenty of items to purchase like olive oil, tea, honey etc. Although our meals were fantastic, I will say it is on the pricy side for kids meals. My oldest son had Mac & Cheese and added chicken. That made his meal alone more than mine. My youngest son had a kids cheeseburger but it ended up being $11. Once again I think we got charged for the lunch portion, which was okay we took the left overs with us. I also had a Greek iced tea which I highly recommend. I loved it so much I bought the box of tea and the honey! We also shared a piece of Galaktoboureko. The portion was huge compared to what you would get at a Greek food festival. It had almost an orange taste to it which was different, we all enjoyed it. I would absolutely go back, this is a fantastic spot for brunch with family or friends. The staff is very kind and inviting. read more

This place is so cute! And so very Greek! It's packed at all hours but they have a menu that keeps the crowds moving along. Coffee is decent but the food is so flavorful. They have a full on bread basket that seems like a joke on the menu but it's real and it's delicious. (More suited as a dish for the table) but the butter, honey and fig jam are a nice compliment. And some days you just need to eat all the bread. The salads taste authentic and fresh. You won't be getting any brown avocado like you see a lot of other places. And the herrrrrbs in it don't miss. And for your picky eaters. They have traditional style brunches so that everyone is happy. Can't wait to go back and try some new things. read more
