We tried: Cereal Thriller Quilted Pig OG Happy Go Lucky Smashed Browns (get the sweet & spicy sauces on the side & mix them together.) ya welcome! Troublemaker (with cold foam) Honey Buns (with cold foam) And listen... everything was amazing but if I had to pick (which I don't want to, but if I had to...) #1 Happy Go Lucky #2 Cereal Thriller (If you want to be a big back like me,try them both together. Thank me later! ) What really made the experience even better than just having great waffles, was the people. General Manager Sharon and Assistant Manager Kelsey were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely seemed excited to help. The owner Len was EXTREMELY responsive to my email & text inquiries (which honestly is rare these days.) As a small business owner myself, I notice and appreciate that kind of effort immediately!! This place is absolutely underrated. Between the amazing staff, the aesthetic Instagram/TikTok worthy storefront, and food & drinks that are ACTUALLY delicious (because sometimes places only nail one or the other ), they've got the full package! Plenty of seating inside & out. clean bathrooms, self-service kiosks but they also have a register if you are lazy like me. Parking can be a little challenging, but there are several nearby garages that make it manageable. 10/10 experience. So grateful we got the chance to try smashed waffles. Pittsburgh needed this spot.

I ordered a coffee, a savory waffle, and a sweet waffle, and everything was delicious. I especially loved the glaze on the cereal killer waffle and the "secret sauce" served with their savory waffles. The cinnamon roll coffee I ordered was also fantastic and a very smooth and sweet drink. Everything was fantastic, and the owner was extremely kind and welcoming. I will definitely be back!

I went into the shop with my wife and mother-in-law, who'd been speaking their first language. My wife then asked in perfect English if the scoops were big so she could decide how many to order, but the corpulent, pathetic old slug of a "man" said "This is America", and refused to serve them. His accent was heavier and harder to understand than my wife's. I'm Caucasian and was born in the US. I enjoy meeting and befriending people from around the world. However, when an immigrant such as this jerk treats my immigrant wife as somehow lower, yeah, he's going to hear it from me. The coward hid in the back but I yelled loudly that I'm a native-born American and that he has no more right to be in this country than anyone else. I tried a sample of the ice cream before his bigoted hissy fit and it wasn't bad but there's MUCH better ice cream in Pittsburgh. They have a limited selection, too. Take your money elsewhere, this guy is trash.

We walked there but parking seemed available here and there on the street. Apparently they are a small chain and we were excited to try them out! Very busy even on a regular Monday morning. We got seated right away and overall it's a great and reliable breakfast place where you get good service and your coffee cup is always full. My friend had the bananas Foster waffles which he said were pretty darn good! I can't really eat sweet things like that in the morning but I had one quick taste in a definitely have that good bananas Foster taste you would get in New Orleans. I had The Benny which was amazing and full of flavor! Definitely a good way to start the day with a good protein laden breakfast with tons of flavor. Definitely would recommend again on a trip to Pittsburgh!

Told the young lady ok, I will call right back because we have a nut allergy here with the ordering party. She said "no problem, just call us back." I called back like 10 times with no answer. I assumed they took the phone off the hook because once I arrived I was told my order, to go will take 45 minutes and the phone didn't ring once. I never had a problem here since I've been coming here since the opening. Food is always good and the service is great also. But today, I was disappointed with how this was handled.

The waffle was light and fluffy, and soaked up the delicious maple syrup perfectly. I appreciated the lightness of the syrup, as it doesn't have corn syrup in it. The pecans were the perfect touch, and what brought it to the next level for me. Our server, Loraleigh was the best! She welcomed us in with a smile and offered excellent service. Very attentive and kind throughout our visit. You're in good hands with her. 10/10

I ordered their two person traditional breakfast with some Turkish coffee. The olives, cheeses and bread was delish. Their egg dish also hit the spot. It was too much for me to eat in one sitting and was perfect for a late afternoon leftover. The deal is perfect for two people and I highly rate the whole experience. The staff were kind and the cafe was quaint and all in Turkish style!

Don't sleep on the Turkish breakfast for two (choose the menemen--trust me.)

The veg was fresh and the flavors delightful. The cheeses were incredible and I could never decide what my next bite was going to be, I wanted it all. Alihan's has been moved to my recommendation list for Pittsburgh and I'm so looking forward to my next visit!

Mango Ice Cream" with my friend. The portions were pretty small, but mangos are pretty expensive, so I get it. The mangos weren't very ripe, so it didn't produce the natural sweet flavor we were hoping for. My friend thought there was a weird after taste with the mango juice, but it was fine to me. Overall, this was fine. Pretty pricy and small portions.
