I particularly love how the bagels aren't too big and they have a good cream cheese ratio. I got a marble bagel with fig and honey schmear which was delicious. I also got a tasty strawberry rugelach pastry. Parking can be tricky depending what time of day you go. There is a nice park down the street to sit and enjoy.

Pigeon Bagels, worth the hype? Worth the wait? Yep & yep…read more Did you know they've been nationally recognized by Food & Wine as well as Bon Appetit? Pretty amazing considering they've only had their brick and mortar since 2019. Who remembers getting their amazing bagels at the Bloomfield Saturday Market before the brick & mortar opened? ME! I lived down the street & looked forward to getting them. Who remembers them selling at the Squirrel Hill Farmers Market too? ME! I have spent enough time in NYC to really know bagels and Pigeon has been at the top of that game from the start. Proper bagels...boiled & hand-rolled! Faves: Everything bagel Plain bagel Veg bagel sandwich Jalapeno schmear Herb schmear *they have a different bagel flavor of the month Did you know everything they offer is certified kosher? Yep! Donut Day is the second Wednesday of the month. Coffee served is from Redhawk.

Best bagels in Pittsburgh!…read more This place has plenty of options! I love their selections and they have " specialty" shmears that they rotate out. Everything is made in house and you can even purchase some of the schemers. The line can be long on the weekends! There is street parking but can be hard to find spot.

Also conveniently located near a T station, hop off at the Willow stop & check it out. Weekends = go early!! I visited to try a plain bagel & an everything bagel. I was blown away! Their cream cheeses are so fresh, creamy & light. They also enjoy taking Polaroids of their visitors to place on their wall by the check out area- love supporting small!

One of the best pickup spots in town. Great for a true bagel. I usually get The Burgh (sub bacon…read morefor sausage) because it has a great hot and crispy hash brown. The coffee gets great reviews. The bowls provide a nice alternative for healthiness with the flavor still intact. I don't like that they allow dogs in because the space is too small.

This Bruegger's is fantastic. I prefer Balena Bagels in Castle Shannon as my favorite, but…read moresometimes, this location is just a wee bit more convenient, since my gym is 1-2 minutes away. Sand sometimes I crave the taste of Jalapeño Cream Cheese, and you cannot find that anywhere else but Brueggers (or you can make it at home by adding Jalapeños into plain cream cheese). The managers and crew members here are always so friendly and professional. It's a great bagel shop ... Cheers!! P.S. Just downloaded the app., and joined the rewards program. I'm getting free stuff already !!! BIG Cheers!!!

Not much spice on the bagel but it was served warm and was the perfect bite, chew to the exterior but pillowy on the inside. Cream cheese had a TON of flavor and I will 100% try more based off this one. Service was quick and friendly. Sat inside to eat and loved the vibes, just quiet and cozy, a little different than all the coffee shops around.

I tried their cinnamon muffin which was yummy just a bit dry. I think you need to go earlier in the morning to have the most fresh pastries.

The food was definitely 5 stars. We got their "best of the burgh" breakfast sandwich. And if it's not truly the best of the burgh, it's darn close. The slaw and crispy bits of sausage take this one over the top. We also really enjoyed their homemade cinnamon rolls. Top notch. As for coffee, I got an Americano and had to order an extra shot since it came with only 2. A no no in my book. But they use 19 Coffee Company beans, which I like, so it ended up being a good cup. My wife got the "Caffeine in a jump suit", but ordered it decaffeinated oddly enough. She had no complaints. They do seem to have some interesting latte flavor combinations for people interested in that sort of thing.
