After hearing all about this place from my friends and seeing the pretty umbrellas out on the porch on social media, I decided I had to give this place a try. My favorite brunch place in Pittsburgh is Cafe Moulin, but my friends and I decided to venture out in hopes of finding another top brunch place. I wasn't a fan of my apple and brie french toast as the brie and jam combo was just far too bitter. The apples helped soften the strong taste, but weren't enough to make it an enjoyable choice for me. My friends also ordered pancakes and an omelet crepe which they seemed to enjoy. We also split the avocado toast, which was delicious. The bread was perfectly crunchy and paired well with the egg and other toppings. I also ordered a nutella hot chocolate as the server recommended it to me. It was good, but a little too sweet and heavy for me. Overall, this place is alright. There are quite a lot of food options and the ambiance of the outside porch area is nice. I would come back here and try something else, I might have just gotten unlucky with what I ordered but I'm sure they have other tastier offerings waiting to be discovered. read more

This pace can get crowded and have a wait so get there early! I recommend sitting on their upstairs patio if you can. Especially if the pandemic is still going on. They have rainbow umbrellas hung up and it's super cute. Club Bagel Sandwich - a simple classic that tasted great. You can get a plain bagel or an everything bagel. Breakfast Crepe - I could have totally eaten this as a meal! It was so good! It's a bit small and comes with a few grapes so I get why it's a starter. The egg yolk pops and adds some fun and flavor to the dish. read more

3.5 stars This place was honestly quite average for the expensive price. I've passed by many times on my way to work and heard great things, but I was surprised by the prices. We ordered a Nutella Strawberry crepe from the Starter menu ($6 compared to the full-size $9 crepe) and a single slice of Fig and Brie French toast ($6 vs the full size $10). Service was quick - the takeout only took ~5min to prepare on a rainy Monday morning. The crepe was tasty but not mindblowing, though there was a good amount of fruit included. The Fig and Brie French toast had a good consistency, but the toppings seemed haphazardly tossed on, as the fig jam wasn't spread to the edges so there was a large glob in the center and very little on the edges, making for an imbalanced meal. I wouldn't pay $6 again for this single slice of French toast. Overall, it was good takeout and hit the spot since we were hungry and already in the area, but I probably wouldn't make a special trip to come here again, knowing that other places in the area have brunch takeout with better bang for your buck. read more

I went here after working the night shift with my work buddy. We looked at the menu for two nights in a row and were super hyped about going here. It opens surprisingly early on a weekday. It opens at 8am we decided to sit outside and the server was so sweet to put a umbrella up perfectly so the sun wasn't beating down on us. I ordered the berries French toast it was delicious I would of preferred more whipped cream but that's just me. I also ordered The Goat crepe and it was so good I never had a savory crepe before but I thought I'd give it a shot and I'm glad I did! I'm not always in the mood for sweet stuff at breakfast so I'm glad they have plenty of sweet and savory options. I will definitely be back here for breakfast next time I'm in the strip. read more

Absolutely amazing!! Such a cute interior, and the food was delicious. We came here during one of their rush hours, and the owner made time to sit down and talk to us, and he was gracious enough to warn us about being understaffed. Nevertheless, the food came out very quickly, and the quality and taste was above and beyond! Top notch service, food, and experience. Very pleased with it, and we will be here again. Also- the biscoff crepe was to die for, get it when you come here!! read more

The outdoor seating here is awesome and great for a weekend brunch, especially since there aren't a lot of dine-in options right now. The food is amazing and the brunch special allows you to try a couple different things. I will say that this seems to be a popular spot and, because of that, I think service could improve. There didn't seem to be a lot of communication between waitresses (one took our order and then another came ready to take our order again). I had the $20 brunch special with an iced coffee, fruit plate, polish hill crepe (basically a huge pierogi) and Nutella banana crepe. My savory crepe was supposed to come with a side salad, but it was so busy I didn't think it was worth asking about. Every single thing was delicious and I'd definitely come back just for the food alone. read more

Came here for the CUTE patio, but was so pleasantly SURPRISED by everything else! My friend and I each got a Brunch Special which included a drink, fruit/ salad, any entree on the menu, and a dessert crepe - all for $20. I had the iced chai latte, fruit plate, philly cheese steak crepe, and banana nutella crepe. They give you SO MUCH food. Everything was so FRESH, so DELICIOUS and 1 Brunch Special was definitely enough to split between 2 people. Still can't believe I didn't know about this spot until today. Go check them out if you haven't already!!! Ahh Lastly, I'm only giving 4 stars and not 5 because the service was very average. At the end of our meal, I felt like we got rushed out the door. He kept saying "let's go! let's go!" to get us to pay while we were still midbite. read more

Came here on a weekday for breakfast - parking was not easy (being right across from the hospital) so if you can Uber/walk id recommend that! Ambiance - cozy and quirky with lots of random art work. Has a patio which looks like it's be great in the summer. Friendly service. Food - came here for brunch with kids and adults. Perfect balance of sweet and savory options. I got the 3 course meal for $20. First course was a GIANT fruit place perfect for sharing with the whole table and the third course was a dessert option also perfect for sharing. For me entree had the savory cafe crepe which was pretty good - not amazing but I def finished it. Other food - the Berries French toast came with unexpected gummy bears which was odd but the rest was very tasty. Overall 3 for food but the giant fruit plate and the ambiancd brought it up to a 4. Overall large quantity with sweet and savory options. Get the 3 course to share. read more

Never have I been so thankful to go my dentist (a few doors down) and stumble across a breakfast spot. For less than $9 I grabbed a delicious coffee with some Nutella/banana crepes and was in and out in 20 minutes. It was one of those mornings that I ordered exactly what I wanted and enjoyed it immensely, so the five stars are awarded accordingly. Looking forward to stopping here again. read more

This place had a kitchen issue the day that I went. The service went down hill during our visit. Let me explain.... We were here for homecoming for The University of Pittsburgh and we were interested to try the restaurants in the new areas they revitalized. We saw this restaurant and it had decent reviews so we thought why not. We had a larger party and they were able to accommodate us fine. We were a group of 8. I will like to fairly note that we came at different waves. Half of us came first. Then two more and two others. We made our order and it started off fine. They were about 75% full. As we all came we ordered at different times. The timing of the food and the response by the staff is what brought my rating down. The food came at weird times. I recall my friend that came later than the friend that was here first got her food before her. Things like that. There were a slew of mix ups like this and they tried accusing us of their mistakes than just apologizing and moving forward. They said that we accepted the wrong dish that was meant for someone else. What????? You handed the person the entree and blamed us? I feel like a lot of people in the restaurant ordered similar things so they were all confused. They asked me several times if something was meant for our table but it was nothing we ordered. Side note: a tv with football on was in the kitchen. The staffing may have been off today, but the person that looked like the manager did not treat my friend who had the food mix up with great customer service. For the food, I got their $20 brunch combo that included a coffee, entree and crepe. It is a pretty good deal for what you get. I got the vegetable omelette, and the strawberry and Nutella crepe. I thought it was a good meal. Just too bad about the service. read more

Where to start... this place is a gem. I can't believe it's taken me so long to get here. I may even go as far as saying this is my favorite breakfast place in the city. Yes, parking isn't great. Keep circling the streets of Bloomfield until you find a spot. If you're lucky, one of the few spots out front will be open. You can sit outside at the counter window, inside or head straight to the back patio, which is exactly what we did. It was a super hot day, but the umbrella's give off the perfect amount of shade. The most important thing to know is it's BYOB! In addition to a mimosa I have to have a chai latte and here I had both! Don't be stressed when you look over the menu... you'll certainly be torn between the sweet and savory options. We did one of each! I'd do the exact same thing next time I go. They have so much to pick from you'll never need to repeat your order. If you've been putting off trying this place, don't. It's a must visit. read more

It looked so promising. I saw the cute outdoor counter/walk up window the day before and thought I'd give it a shot. Walking in, staff seemed a bit frazzled and there was small confusion about seating. They were apologetic and I was seated. I ordered a coffee as I looked over the menu. Another waitress came by and asked what I wanted. Mocha French toast, please. I sat and waited and watched more frazzled encounters with other patrons. I checked in on Yelp (free coffee) and was playing with my phone. A waiter comes by and asks about my check in redemption on Yelp after I've toggled away. It was a bit creepy watching what patrons are doing on their phones. After that strange encounter and over 30 minutes later did the two slices of French toast arrived. It's covered in chocolate syrup and that was all I could taste. I move some of it off while cutting the toast. Not exactly what I was expecting, but at this point, I've waited long enough and needed to get on with the day. The first slice is fine, but then here's where it went bad. Into the second toast, I tasted the egg batter and spit it out. Thinking it might have been a bad edge, I cut another piece and more egg batter and I immediately spit it out. I'm done and worried. A waitress sees my expression. I informed her it wasn't cooked completely and another waiter comes to examine the toast. Odd, but they take it away. I'm done. Yet another waitress comes by to check on me. I'm done, I say (Really? Why would I want more?). She comes with the check. Here's the kicker, they charged me the full amount even coffee! It wasn't edible! Raw egg batter!! Ugh. Tired of the experience, I pointed out the coffee check in and was told it'll be taken care of. I was still charged for the French toast. That's when the waiter comes with fruit and gummy bears to apologize for the toast. No, grapes, slice of apple, kiwi, nectarine, and a couple of gummies doesn't make up for it. I'm already worried, a hodgepodge of stuff isn't what I want now. Staff tried, but missed the mark. The French toast was covered in chocolate syrup for anyone to notice it was still batter. Avoid it. I ended up getting sick. Also, they charge 50 cents for water, without telling people. It's a mini 8 ounce bottle. So much hope for this neighborhood spot and it failed in many ways. read more

We walked in and seated ourselves. Looked like they had a walk-up counter from which you could order from the outside. Unfortunately the back patio was closed at the time so we settled for a high top table. The interior was decorated with large eclectic art pieces and empty picture frames. My friend and I ordered two coffees and two crepe entrees for under $25. We split one savory and one sweet, the Polish hill and the Nutella banana. Food came out with minimal wait. Presentation was great and the crepes were absolutely delicious! Very fulfilling. Good portions and an even better price. read more

Service was not good. The staff seems very disorganized. No free water. I came for a Sunday brunch with four others and while we arrived at a busy time, we were told to go to the back porch for seats, only to find there weren't any, and then redirected back inside to a table. Please have the courtesy to check for your guests instead of pushing them around! After sitting down, we examined the menu as we were handed small bottles of water. Apparently on the menu it said that these bottles were 50 cents each. I didn't want to be charged so I asked for tap water, but my bill on the end included the price for my water bottle, even though I did not open it. We placed our orders with our waitress, who seemed to be new. She was taking a while looking at my menu to write down the exact item names of what we were ordering. She almost hit me in the face with the menus when she was collecting them. She however was kind in handling our requests, especially when my friend kept asking her to refill the hot water in her tea. The food came out in maybe 15 minutes. It was decent, nothing too special or exciting. The portions were of varying size, the largest being the omelette. Not sure if the bagels were worth their prices. The salmon bagel itself had only one slice of salmon. The chai latte my friend ordered was actually a dirty chai. I thought the side salads were good though, and that the feta and honey crepe was interesting. I had never had something like it before. Overall, I don't think I would come back. The food wasn't outstanding enough for me to overlook the other problems I encountered. I do admit that the porch is very aesthetic, with all the colorful umbrellas hanging overhead. If anything, I think that will attract people looking for a good social media post. read more

I finally experienced Caffe Mona. We went with a group of 4 on a wednesday morning. As good as it gets. Also one of the brunch places where everything this perfect. They have many savory options. We ordered Buttermilk Caramel Pancakes, Veggie Omelette and Berries French Toast. The pancakes are very fluffy and ligth. By the end of our meal, we were full as well as content with what we ate.

Fruit Plate, Pancakes, Monte Cristo, Veggie omelet. Food was super good- will definitely order from here again!

Small little place where you can order to go or sit down. Not a ton of space to sit down but the patio out back gives off a great vibe. The waiter brought little bottles of water from Costco so I would much rather just have tap in a cup. The prices justified the quantity of food. The savory crepes were good and I also got the Nutella Hot chocolate, which was basically warm chocolate milk with unstirred Nutella, but I am not sure when chocolate and Nutella are ever bad. Great vibe and I would eat there again. read more
