    I stopped and had a drink at Bakery Square after doing some shopping. It was a beautiful day so I sat outside. Each table has a QR code where you can place your food/drink order table side. Upon arrival, a staff member brought out water and silverware. This outdoor space is great. I sometimes will come here to watch Steeler games when the weather is nice. Definitely one of my favorite hangouts!

    A friend and I had a Galentine's date night at bakery Square and had the greatest time. We started at Alta Via Pizzeria for dinner and cocktails before attending a Valentine's Day themed cocktail class hosted by bakery Square. The bakery Square staff checked us in and were so nice and helped us to our spot. We laughed ALL night making cocktails and meeting new friends. I highly recommend going to bakery Square whether it is catching up with friends, a date night, or even just to get out of the house. Will definitely be back!!

    It took me a bit to figure out it how it all works here, ended up going into city kitchen which had a few diff restaurants to order from, 4 and a pop up up one for the night. You're seated at a table and I was told you order using the barcode on the table and servers will bring your food to you. First few times my order wouldn't go through and I wanted to give up but then it finally did. We got a Nashville chicken sandwich from Elevate, potato skins from Charred and bulgogi egg rolls from the Asian place. The Nashville Chicken Sandwich (didn't come with fries) was the worst thing I ate in Pittsburgh, possibly in Pennsylvania. The breading sliding off and the chicken soggy. Gross. Gross. Not remotely Nashville spicy or spiced. It even has a chipotle sauce, weird. Came with a side salad of some leaves. You could pay extra for fries. The potato skins were flavorless and not really skins, more like potato halves. The bulgogi egg rolls were really good! But all the other food was overpriced and just BAD. I wouldn't go back.

    Had a gifted experience from Bakery Square to try the GF options at Alta Via Pizzeria and had such a yummy meal! The fig and Brie pizza is a must try from me! Also had the vodka pizza. The veggie sides were fresh- I had the Brussels salad and broccolini with whipped ricotta. Flavors for all tastes here!

    I've been coming to Bakery Square since the Urban Active days and they have done such a nice job with the whole development. Great food options, garage parking, and the giant screen is an awesome place to watch sports. We went to Tako Torta and then Jeni's Ice Creams for dessert. Such a nice evening.

    Loved the vibe of Bakery Square. Visited on a gorgeous day and it was fun to sit outside and watch everyone enjoying this unique space. From the shops to the restaurants it was a great way to spend the afternoon. The parking was easy to manage and even the crossing guards were kind. We had a delicious dinner at the Golden Gai, which I would highly recommend.

    4.5 stars. Bakery Square is a shopping center that was built on the site of the former Nabisco Bakery. In recent years, Bakery Square has been attracting more businesses to fill the storefronts. Bakery Square has a few office buildings, which are occupied by Google, UPMC, Philips, Carnegie Mellon University, the University of Pittsburgh, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, and others. The shopping center also has apartments and townhouses for residents. Bakery Square's restaurants include Alta Via Pizzeria, Galley, Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams, Jimmy John's, Panera, Starbucks, and Tako Torta. Current retail stores include Anthropologie, BHLDN, Free People, and West Elm. Other businesses include PNC Bank, LA Fitness, TIAA, and Springhill Suites. Some vacant storefronts remain to be filled and are still available for lease. I like this shopping center because it is new and nice. I deducted half of a star from my rating, because I like the restaurants more than the stores.

    Dirty plates

    The ordering app sucks The bottle of wine we ordered came out as a single glass The bulgogi egg rolls were icy in the middle The side plates were.... You judge I'm not sure we will be back here anytime soon

    Brunch steak sandwiches

    I started my morning with an outdoor yoga class at Bakery Square, and it was such a vibe! The atmosphere is super relaxed with just the right amount of energy--flowing in the sunshine felt amazing. Afterwards, I headed to City Works for brunch and it did not disappoint. Their brunch menu is stacked (highly recommend the avocado toast & mimosas). Perfect spot for a little self-care morning that turns into a social brunch date. I'll definitely be back!

    What a wonderful place!!! It was warm enough to eat outside. We all ordered from different places from a digitized menu on the table. Huge TV showing the NFL game and places for kids to play. This area is pet friendly. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The trees were changing color and it was just a perfect day. There is a hotel (where my parents stayed) and a Starbucks-always a good thing. I had chicken pot pie and tea. The bathrooms were clean and there is a parking building on site. We will go back....

Honestly nothing too special, and quite a bit more expensive than at other places in the city and in the area. The frosting was pretty good, pretty rich, but the brownie itself was fairly dry. Nothing really special about it. Portion was pretty good though. I may come back to try a few other items, but I just didn't find this place all that special.

I got to try the plain cheesecake, buckeye, lavender, double chocolate, biscoff, and key lime pie, and honestly every single one was delicious! His cakes are made with alot of labor & love! What made this experience even more amazing, was getting to go behind the scenes and actually help make a ton of different cheesecakes. Such a fun, hands on experience getting to see Kyle in action and the amount of hard work that goes into every order. I loved hearing his stories about his childhood and his family influences. Kyle is only 31 and has owned his business for over 7 years! That's impressive. You can really see the passion behind his baking. He works incredibly hard and even sacrifices a lot of his social life to keep growing his business, perfecting his craft, and supporting his community. Small business, big story! definitely a spot worth supporting in Pittsburgh!!!!! Thank you Kyle & Lisa

Kyle's nails marketing with a very recognizable and obvious logo! We immediately wanted to get a slice of the key lime cheesecake... and luckily snagged the last one. Prices seem high until you see the size and taste these cakes!! Quick and easy service, since it's all just slice and serving! Great vendor to find at any market!

    I stopped by here this past Sunday with my family for our morning coffee. Every weekend we try to…read morehit up a new local coffee shop, and on this morning it happened to be Tous Les Jours. This shop is part of a larger chain but currently appears to be the only location in the Pittsburgh area. It's located in East Liberty and is really more of a bakery than a coffee shop. The inside is split about 50/50, with half dedicated to seating and the other half serving as a self-serve bakery. You grab a tray and tongs before walking around selecting whichever baked goods catch your eye. They also have display cases filled with cakes and other pastries that need to be kept refrigerated. For my coffee on this morning I went with a 16 oz hot honey lavender macchiato while my wife chose a 16 oz iced tiramisu latte. I have to admit that the name of my drink confused me a bit at first, but it ended up being a latte macchiato as expected. With that being said, I thought it was quite good. The lavender was light enough to be noticeable without overpowering the drink, while the honey added just the right amount of sweetness. The espresso was also present, especially on the finish, where it added both flavor and body. My wife also enjoyed her latte and appreciated the tiramisu flavors throughout. Outside of the coffee, we ordered a number of pastries. My wife chose the Crookie, which is a cookie baked on top of a croissant. My son picked out a chocolate-covered Belgian waffle, while my daughter chose the strawberry soft bread. All of them enjoyed what they ordered, and I think my wife especially loved the Crookie. As for me, I went a little overboard and chose a garlic and cheese croissant, a curry croquette, pork-dusted bread, and a sweet taro cream bread. All of them were delicious in their own way. The garlic and cheese croissant was a nice savory option, with plenty of garlic flavor and a crispy cheese crust. The curry croquette had wonderful warming spices that made it especially flavorful. The pork-dusted bread was definitely the most unusual item. The pork topping reminded me of Wild Bill's Beef Jerky, and somehow those savory flavors worked really well on top of the crunchy laminated bread. Last but certainly not least was the taro cream bread. I was impressed by how light it felt despite being packed with an impressive amount of cream filling. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. I'm a sucker for bakeries like this and clearly ordered far more than my waistline needed, but everything I tried was enjoyable. While the coffee was good, the pastries are the real reason to visit, with the coffee serving as an excellent complement.

My husband also enjoyed the almond croissant. We have also enjoyed cookies and cheesecake. The egg custard pastry is so creamy and delicious. The butter Madeleine is buttery goodness. Everyone is really nice there too. All the food is great.

    This review is long overdue. I've been buying food and coffee from the Downtown location since my…read morefirst year of college (five years ago). The atmosphere inside is immediately welcoming. Few tables line the walls, but if you're lucky enough, you can claim one right before the lunch rush, when PNC employees raid the place and the soup sells out. If you stop by frequently enough, Charlie, Matt, or another employee might learn your name. The baristas are kind, personable, and have always made any mistake right. Forget the decadent desserts, hot coffee, or savory sandwiches; I keep coming back because I feel respected here. LaGourmandine is tasty, no question. But at this location? It's particularly loving and feels like home. There is free Wi-Fi, and no better place to get work done while enjoying lunch Downtown. My only complaint: be sure to say whether it's for here or to go when checking out. According to an employee, a small paper cup holds more coffee than a small ceramic cup. But coffee tastes much better in ceramic; I hate when it's mistakenly poured into paper.

I try so hard not to waste materials with single use cups. I carry a travel cup. If they had only had paper cups, I would have given the barista my travel cup. I explained this, and she poured it into a (cappuccino sized!) ceramic cup for me. The espresso is good, but I prefer the espresso at Yinz, so probably won't come here again. That said, the quiches look really good here...
