    Had a great experience at Brother Andre's today. There was plenty of paid street parking nearby and navigating to the cafe (which is in the basement) wasn't terribly hard. The space where the cafe is located and well-lit, spacious, and nicely decorated with items to purchase on display too. Ordering our drinks and cookies was a cinch and we ordered a few extra to take home to family members too. The staff were friendly, service was quick, and everything was clean and comfortable. I could easily see myself coming here with a book or laptop to get a little work done while sipping a drink and having a pastry.

    This cafe is overflowing with goodness: great, holy, mission, good food and coffee, and wonderful people. So grateful I discovered it.

    I stopped by here yesterday with my wife for our morning coffees. While we normally go to coffee shops on the weekend, we ended up coming here on a Friday due to their hours. This wasn't my first trip to Brother Andre's as I had been here previously for a Yelp Elite event, but it was my wife's first time. It's located in the basement of Assumption Church.The inside has a cozy and community-oriented vibe with tiled floors, a mix of cafe-style tables and soft seating, and a merchandise area with branded shirts, mugs, and hoodies. The coffee bar setup includes dual espresso machines and a digital menu screen above. There's a warm, welcoming tone to the space, with a mix of functional decor and signs reinforcing their inclusive mission. One thing to note is that since this is a church basement, there's no AC. What makes Brother Andre's different from other places is that they hire and train disabled individuals. That means it's credit card only and the workers follow specific scripts designed to support their success. As my mother was a special education teacher for many years, I love this mission. For coffee on this day, I decided to go with a large hot Honeybee latte while my wife went with a medium iced Black and Gold. My latte ended up being pretty good with lots of honey and vanilla flavor. The coffee itself definitely took a back seat to the sweet notes, but that was okay since it still tasted good. My wife also really enjoyed her Black and Gold latte. The bottom line for me is that I'll be back again in the future. I really appreciate the mission behind Brother Andre's and the coffee is pretty good too.

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.

    10 stars if I could! As a New Yorker living in Pittsburgh, I take my cheesecake seriously!!!…read moreKyle's Cakes N'at absolutely delivered. 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.

    Came here on a cold Saturday morning because several have recommended this bakery on Walnut Street…read more Since it's just a small walk-in, we purchased a few goodies and took them to a cafe to enjoy them with some coffee. They have two cases of their delicious looking pastries, one table of discounted items, and a case serving hot items. Open that case and serve yourself the hot mini quiches and empanadas. Started with a mini quiche and a beef empanada. Hubby liked his quiche. I'm not a fan of olives and they were all over my beef empanada. Will not be getting that one again. The kind young lady behind the case helped us order our very first Burnt Almond Torte. It comes in different sizes and we chose the bar as it easily serves two. She even gave us sporks to eat it with. We really loved the Burnt Almond Torte. The inside has a soft, moist vanilla cake layered with a thin layer of icing and enrobed with more icing and topped with the buttery, crunchy almonds. We will be back for more.

I started with the quiche and enjoyed it; the crust was just average but the egg filing was very good. My wife was not a fan of the empanada so we will not get that again. It was around 10 hours before we tried our Burnt Almond Torte...wow! That dessert is something that I will eat again, and again. The toasted almonds were soooo good! They were crunchy, crispy, and perfect. The Bar Cake had a white cake inside and icing on the outside; it was heavily coated in those almonds. The person who assisted was knowledgeable about the items to a point; she did not eat anything in the bakery so it was by observation. Don't care, that Burnt Almond Torte is the real deal!
