| - I love this place! I came here for birthday breakfast with my family after reading the stellar reviews on here. Another win for the Yelp community. The food was amazing and unbelievably affordable.
One of the great things about this place is that the menu includes pancakes, waffles, french toast, and crepes. I don't know a lot of breakfast places that serve all of those options. Not only do they have each of those options, but there are a variety of options for each. They also, of course, have a variety of savory dishes, omelets, and benedict.
We arrived a little after 11am (they are only open until 12:30pm), and the place was still pretty full, but we were able to sit down right away. I ordered the crab cake benedict after reading all the good reviews on here and I was not disappointed. I am a huge fan of hollandaise sauce and not only was this sauce delicious, there was PLENTY of it. The crab cakes were delicious and the eggs were perfectly poached. My dad ordered the french toast because I promised him this place was legit. He usually won't order french toast from restaurants because he is always disappointed, but he gave this his seal of approval, and I have to agree. Delicious. My boyfriend ordered the steak omelet. All I have to say is: wow. This omelet was HUGE and came with big chunks of real steak overflowing out of the omelet. Although they didn't ask how he wanted the steak cooked, he commented that it was cooked perfectly and said it was delicious(I don't eat steak, so I can't say first hand). My mom and sister both got the regular eggs benedict and were similarly blown away.
The only thing I really wasn't blown away by--and this is a personal preference thing--was the crepes. My boyfriend and I split a strawberry cream crepe. The strawberries were delicious and the cream was to die for, but I was just not a fan of the crepe itself. It was a little too fluffy and rich for my taste and didn't have that slight crisp that I have come to appreciate from other favorite breakfast spots in the city. It was very tasty and we ate all of it, it just wasn't my style.
I live in the south hills and I usually travel into Pittsburgh for a good meal but this place is sure to be a staple in my life from now on. I cannot believe how delicious and affordable this place is. I can't wait to go back and try something new.
