Daphne Cafe is another restaurant I always forget about until I walk past it on Ellsworth - and this place is worth remembering bc they've got lots of outdoor seating which is at a premium in Shadyside in the summer!
The first few times I came here the food was good but the service was kind of meh. The food has improved, and so has the service! I think they just needed to work the kinks out.
Let me tell you something: there's little I wont do for hummus, and they've got great hummus here. Everything tastes fresh and is inexpensive. It's not a fancy restaurant, but its a nice restaurant and the past two times I've been here everything has been great.
If you havent tried this restaurant I suggest you do so now, bc its been increasingly crowded with each return, I think word is getting out.
