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...

This joint has been on my list of places to try for a while now. Was it worth the 53 minute wait on…read morea Saturday morning? Yes, yes it was. There was a friendly gal at the door taking names and numbers. I could hardly believe the wait time but decided to put down my name and do a little window shopping during the wait. We were eventually called and texted to let us know our table was ready. Our table was in the very back corner, next to a group of girls loudly talking about their drunken escapades the night before. It was entertaining to say the least. Our server was super friendly and accommodating to dietary restrictions/modifications. I ordered a Turkish Benedict on gluten free toast.... So. Good. Amazing flavors. My daughter got the croissant avocado toast which she loved. I also got a pistachio latte and was pleasantly surprised to see the used pistachio butter and not a syrup. It was lovely. I had to keep my child from drinking it all! While the wait was long, it was definitely worth it. The space is smaller than I imagined. The food came out fast for how packed it was. It's worth it!

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!

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.

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!

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.
