The owners are incredibly kind, warm, and welcoming, which makes every visit even more enjoyable. I've traveled to Taiwan multiple times, and the breads and pastries here instantly transported me back to the bakeries of Taipei. The flavors, textures, and freshness are spot on. Everything tastes amazing right out of the bakery, but if you warm the pastries in the oven or air fryer at home, they become even more delicious. I never expected to find one of my favorite Asian bakeries in Pittsburgh, but Pink Box is truly a hidden gem. Whether you're craving authentic Taiwanese baked goods or simply appreciate exceptional food, this bakery is an absolute must-visit. Highly recommended!

I was very disappointed with Pink Box Bakery Cafe 粉红屋烘焙坊. The day I arrived in Squirrel Hill, I…read morecame to buy a taro moon cake for $3.00. It tasted stale. The only part with purple color was the tip of the shell. I can see grease soaked the wax paper on the bottom of the cake. Not sure how long it sat there on the shelf. So, I went back next morning to see if they have fresher ones on the shelves. I saw the one I left the night before. Ahhh... moon cakes must be shelf stable. Not! Each baked goods should have date time stamps. I felt cheated. Pink Box Bakery is the only Chinese bakery in Squirrel Hill. I think I'll go to Korean or French Bakery on my next visit.

After trying this for the first time I almost have to restrain myself from stopping by there…read moreeveryday. It's SO good. My favorite items were the Oatmeal cookie and blueberry frosted donut. The cookie was soft with just a touch of frosting which compliments it well. And the donut frosting wasn't your typical lathered on frosting, it sort of hardened and gave a little crunch to the donut. What I didn't get pictures of were the chocolate chip cookie, snickerdoodle and the frosted sprinkle donut. All of which I'd get again, I just ate too fast to get photos of. You walk in and it feels like you're in someone's kitchen. Small and cozy area to order from with just the right amount of options to choose from. Maybe about a dozen cookies and pastries. Staff was super helpful in helping pick out what to get and they gave a pamphlet on the way out to see all of the pies, cookies, pastries, etc they make. Really feels like these cookies were made from your mother's kitchen, with the same passion and joy.

I have been a fan of Sumi's since their original Murray Ave location (now closed)…read more I think being located inside the Novo Asian Food Hall is the perfect spot for them to be. I am telling you gang, they make some of the finest baked goods I've ever had. They're beautifully scrumptious and will always leave you wanting more. Shrimp toast, beignets, shaved ice, specialty cakes, cheesecake, basque cheesecake, cream loaves, varieties of breads, and egg tarts are some of the items you can expect to see. In addition, they have lunch offerings, sandwiches, bento boxes, soup, toasts, and salads. I love the mango shaved ice! It's so refreshing. The Oreo beignets are mind blowing! The coffee buns and salt bread are nothing short of incredible. I love going to Sumi because they make you feel like family when you're there.

After missing out on the most well known vegan spot in Pittsburgh due to the days of the week we…read morewere in town, I wanted to hit this spot. It seems too far for most people staying in downtown but it just so happens that we were on a road trip and therefore....had a car. Less than 10 min from downtown was all it took. No seating inside actually which gave me an excuse to wolf this shit down in the comfort of our rental car. Breakfast sandwiches were a given but I was struck by the adorable and enticing pastries and breads on display. There were a number of appealing contestants for my sandwich but the ubiquitous presence of my arch nemesis onions made it slightly challenging. We had spent the preceding few days in Cleveland and then Pittsburgh and while sauerkraut has a lot of nutritional benefits, it is somewhat lacking in protein so I felt comfortable with the "breakfast" with chickpea tofu egg scramble, roasted tomato mayo, vegan sausage and pickles on a nice, juicy bun. I admire the chickpea tofu egg it was a very nice replica for eggs. The sausage patty was gigantic and that mayo was so good. GF ordered the seitan melt with sauerkraut, red onion, oat cheese, pickles, toum, and roasted tomatoes. I tried some of the seitan which was doused in sauce and EXCELLENT. Our road trip bread supply was dwindling so we also got one of their whole grain sourdough loaves which is fantastic and still kicking 5 days later. Paired wonderfully with soup So good

I was so sad when Allegro closed but so happy when they reopened in 2020…read more The bakery of all bakeries, yinz guys! It's a vegan shop and I'm not even vegan but it doesn't matter. The goodness that comes from their ovens is beyond compare. The ingredients they use are things like oat milk, sunflower butter, and more. Everything is handmade on a daily basis. In addition to baked goods, they offer fresh salads and sandwiches on their in-house breads. I absolutely love the chocolate rugelach, chocolate chip cookies (best ever!), blueberry muffins, chocolate croissant, French batard bread, and sourdough bread. They really have so much to choose from and it's all wonderful. Drinks (juices, coffee, etc.) also available. Support local---they deserve it!
