Peace, Love and Little Donuts is a Pittsburgh icon of doughnuts and always is a joy to stop by and…read moretry a fun new topping! Starting in 2008, PLLD has taken Pittsburgh by storm with franchises popping up all over the area but the true start is right here in the Strip District... well two doors down, but who would fault them for moving into the corner spot when it became available. As humble of beginnings, the owner bought a donut machine from a friend's garage that didn't seem to work quite right. Finally working, all that could seem to be produced were this little donuts. Fast forward six months to the owner realizing he installed one component backwards... but the craze of little donuts had already been born! The shop is funkadelic! With the constant parade of fresh mini donuts being fried and topped right in front of you - you can be assured that yours will be hot and fresh. The toppings are always changing and they have display donuts right in front of you so you can eye up which you want to devour! Plus with mini donuts, you can grab quite a variety and tell yourself that 4 or 5 of these would equal the calories of a normal donut... right?! The employees greet you with a fresh cinnamon sugar donut to sample - a tradition that started last June on National Donut Day and they just never seemed to stop! For our Strip District Food Tour, we each got a little donut. We chose the Elvis, Dirt, Chocolate Chip Pancake, and Tres Leches. What a glorious little bite! Perfect combos of sweet and salty - that are almost as pretty to look at as they are to devour!

So many different flavors to choose from, they are tiny donuts though, individually hand dipped as you order and the batter is similar to a 'cake batter' which is denser and lightly crumblier than a typical donut. We tried a dozen for our boys. They also have a sitting area upstairs. They are good, however they are extremely sweet. I felt like my glucose level spiked 10x with the first bite!

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.

I'm a bit of a paczki snob and was told that they are great at Patti's. The reviews I had heard…read morewere correct! Their paczki are amazing. Full of flavor, filling and packed with flavor. You know it is going to be a good paczki when it is heavy and they didn't disappoint. They had several traditional flavors but also had two rotating specialty flavors. I've also had king cakes and various cookies and they have all been delicious. The place was packed. There was a line, but they kept it moving efficiently. There is parking available, but make sure you don't park in spots designated for another business in the same strip. I saw someone from one of those businesses monitoring spots and threatening a tow (which is obviously their right to do). They also have a cafe side with tables and some cute decor. I looked at the menu options and saw what some patrons were getting and it looked great. Something I'll definitely have to come back and try. Overall, a great spot for some tasty treats. And, in my opinion, the best paczki in Pittsburgh.

I did a chocolate crinkle cookie with a white chocolate almond (?) ice cream. I can't remember the fruit flavor in the ice cream. The ice cream was somewhat flavorless. I didn't really taste much to it beyond vanilla. The cookies are a flat cookie with a crunchy edge and more gooey soft center. Not my favorite as I love a thick airy soft cookie. Service was quick and friendly. The inside is colorful and fun. I have another favorite ice cream shop in the area so I can't say I'll be back but it was fun to switch it up and try something different.

This is such a cute and fun place! It is a bit overpriced (higher prices than many comparable…read morebakeries) but you also have a neat space to enjoy your goodies in and extended hours (some nights they are open until 10) so that outweighs the slightly higher cost. My favorite item I tried was their lemon bar. It had just the right combination of sweet and tart and the crust to filling ratio was also on point. I've also enjoyed their cookies, cinnamon rolls and cupcakes. I really enjoy that you can relax with a glass of wine and a baked good. not a combination that is possible at a lot of places. Service is friendly and accommodating. They answered questions and gave recommendations. This is a great spot for a date night or a girls get togehter.

I stopped by for ice cream, but noticed they have a full menu of savory items as well. I ordered a single scoop of coffeehouse cookies and cream. It was an extra $0.50 to pay with a card, but the prices are already very fair so it wasn't an issue at all. I waited maybe a minute and then my ice cream was ready at the next window. The service is prompt and friendly. The only downside is the parking lot is situated at a weird angle to the road that it's on. If you pull head in to the spot, it's very difficult to pull out again without worrying about all of the oncoming traffic and the line of cars waiting right behind you for the light to change at the intersection.

We also have really liked the caprese sandwich on their crunchy bread. On our birthdays, we have gotten all different types of cakes from chocolate to blueberry to carrot. They're all moist and delicious.
