We had a little bit of a wait but it gave us time to review the menu. Hubby had the chicken and waffles, my son had the salmon eggs Benedict, and I had the pancakes with berries.

We arrived at 9am on a Saturday which is when they allegedly open according to their website…read more(Google says 8am) and there were already tons of people seated and even a table that diners had finished eating at so there is definitely something inaccurate with their published hours. Thankfully we didn't have to wait for a table for 3 (the folks in front of us in line most have had a bigger table and were given a wait time). I really enjoyed the vibe here as well as the food. I tried the waffle Benedict and thought it was great. Definitely worth a visit for breakfast but their weekend hours should be updated if they open they open before 9am...

Geppetto Cafe is such a hidden gem in Pittsburgh. The café has this cozy, whimsical atmosphere that…read moremakes it feel completely different from your typical brunch spot, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming the entire time. Their crepe selection is honestly one of the best parts of the menu, with so many unique options to choose from, but the House of Crepe was definitely the standout!! It was packed with flavor, perfectly balanced, and tasted just as good as it looked. If you're looking for something sweet to balance the savory, the mixed berry crepe is delicious! Everything felt fresh, homemade, and thoughtfully prepared. Can't wait to come back!!

Nice, quick food with a cutely decorated cafe and a nice ambiance!…read more Service was quick and we got in even on a busy day with barely any wait, love the decor here with so many knickknacks and the books hanging from the ceiling too! They gave a lot of options, but the crepes are definitely what they are know for. The Sunny Side was a great sweet and savory crepe, with fruit, crispy bacon, eggs and cheese with the crepe, definitely would recommend and make sure to ask for hot sauce as they make their own. Only problem was that some other plates with salads had spotty and not so fresh greens. Overall, nice place for a quick crepe and would recommend for their fun crepes!

Genuinely loved this shop and will be back.

Happenstance is a woman-owned spot in Lawrenceville, which I genuinely love and want to support…read more The owner, Jill, is clearly invested in the business--any time I've seen her on site, she's greeting customers, checking in, and it's obvious she cares about people having a good experience. They catered an International Women's Day event for us last year and did a great job, and I've also been in several times on my own. When it's good, it's really good--but there is some inconsistency. I've ordered the same items on different visits and had days where it was excellent and other days where it was just so-so. My hope (and assumption) is that as staff gets more fully trained and gains experience, the quality will become more consistent. The space itself is very cute, and don't be fooled by how small it looks when you walk in--there's an upstairs and a back patio, which is a nice surprise. Pricing is a bit high for what you get, but that's pretty standard for Lawrenceville/Penn Ave. Overall, I'm glad this place exists and I'll continue to support it. With a little more consistency, it could be a standout neighborhood favorite.

Independant coffee shop close to home. All the food I have had there has been very good. Last…read morevisit I got a Cali breakfast wrap and a side of seasoned potatoes. Very good and price point is well within the market price range. The atmosphere is relaxing and eclectic. There is ample private parking, and the coffee menu is extensive. They also have assorted bakery items and offer vegetarian and vegan options. They also seem to host events for the community such as comedy and music events which I believe is all free. Worth a visit!

My experience was limited because I got coffee and a cookie…read more But this reeses cookie is one of the best cookies I have ever eaten in my life. I thought I was being gluttonous by ordering it but it was worth the billions of calories. Get one and thank me later. My macchiato is delicious, hot and well flavored, not too sweet. Service was quick and efficient and it's like most coffee shops in Pittsburgh, chill, quaint, and cozy.

This place feels like Alla Famiglia's younger sister with an Italian beach club vibe. The patio is…read moreabsolutely adorable and was one of my favorite parts of the experience! We stopped by while walking around the Strip District looking for a quick lunch. During lunch service, you order at the kiosk, find a seat, and clean up after yourself, which makes for a casual and easy experience. Food: The tomato sauce here is probably some of the best red sauce I've had in a long time. We ordered the Caprese Panzanella, meatballs, crispy potatoes, and spaghetti with red sauce. Everything was delicious, but the salad completely stole the show for me. It was packed with fresh ingredients, bright flavors, and so many different textures that worked perfectly together. Every dish tasted fresh, simple, and executed well. Service: For lunch, you're mostly taking care of yourself, but the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming whenever we interacted with them. This is one of those places that doesn't need a long review because you really just need to try it for yourself. I'd absolutely recommend stopping by if you're visiting Pittsburgh for either lunch or dinner. Fresh ingredients, great flavors, and a fun atmosphere. My only regret is losing my phone and all the photos I took here!

With that said, it is a bit tight with not that many seats, but the option of window seating and seating at the bar certainly helps. I got the cookie crisp cereal milk latte, raspberry almond tart, and cheese toast. It wasn't until halfway through my meal that I rememered to snag a picture. The food was sooooo good, all the flavours perfectly individual and shining through of each item. The tart wasnt too moist or dry, the latte had a lovely light espresso with the aftertaste of the yummy cookie crisp milk, and the toast was a delicious mix of salty and sweet. I was sooo full by the end of it. Before heading out, I had to check out their products and ended up leaving with some goat cheese with herbs and dried flowers and some gluten-free focaccia that I'm excited to try.

Really nice cafe with beautiful pastries and good food!…read more The crookie is absolutely massive, and I love that the cookie isn't just in the top but also in the croissant as well, though I think the drizzled chocolate is a bit much. Would definitely go with something a little less sweet next time! Unfortunately they didn't have regular drip coffee when I went, but the Americano was solid, and their specialty drinks all looked good! The get super busy and popular, not surprising, so be prepared to fight for tables, especially if you want to order food ( which is also really good!) Definitely will be coming back to try their delicious food options and other pastries soon!

If you're heading to Lincoln's P&G Diner in Millvale, come hungry, you'll definitely leave happy…read more This place feels like stepping back in time in the best way possible, with a classic diner atmosphere that's full of energy and charm. It is cash only, but, there is an ATM on the premises. My husband and I grabbed seats at the counter, which I highly recommend. It's where all the action is...servers moving fast, regulars chatting, and that lively, bustling vibe that makes the experience feel authentic. We both ordered the Big Lincoln, which is no joke: two eggs any style, your choice of meat (go for the ham--it's incredible), their nearly famous Lyonnaise potatoes, and a short stack of hotcakes. Everything was hearty, flavorful, and exactly what you want from a great diner breakfast. Add the amazing food to the fast and friendly service and you're in for a treat, Diner-style!!! If you're in Millvale, this is a must-stop spot. And seriously...sit at the counter.

The breakfast egg rolls have become my favorite breakfast item in Pittsburgh and my entire family is obsessed with the bakery! Today we had a Blueberry donut that blew our minds and we love that they bake new things all the time. There is so much in Lawrenceville and the Strip and this is honestly the first place in town my kids keep asking to come back to and we've made it a monthly tradition. Can't wati to get back soon.

The cafe is nestled in the upper Lawrenceville... where parking is simple and life is slower lol From first glance, this establishment is ready to make you feel right at home. With cute signage everywhere instructing you on there sustainability practices and fun flavors of the month, you go from first time to feeling like a regular instantly. The lattes... were.... DELIGHTFUL. We got a peppermint latte and a vanilla oat milk latte. The flavors were rich but not cloyingly overpowering. We also ordered a breakfast hand pie (why does life not use the term hand pie more often, you just feel so fun ordering one) and an Egg & Cheese Bagel. Both freshly put together and toasted to perfection. It is great when a cafe has actually delicious and intentional food. The staff was more than ready to give their suggestions and help. They kindly announce when your order is ready and wait with a smile to hand it off to you! There were plenty of cute places to sit and the decor was just so.. them. They have a restroom available and well marked as well. We may have a passport full of coffee places to try, but Caffe d'Amore might just have to be a regular spot during the journey anyway!!
