I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet. It's my favorite bake shop in Pittsburgh, and the vegan cupcakes are all I go for most of the time. It's a real treat to venture out here and get a delicious red velvet cupcake or a mostess!
The atmosphere in Dozen is quiet and cozy. I love how it's decorated. I could easily curl up in a corner and sip a chai latte without distractions. In the winter, it's seriously one of the warmest little cafes. Which is a good thing! I hate being cold.
The employees here are always super-sweet and accommodating. I've never had a negative experience with an employee here, and that is huge!
I haven't tried any of the food options, but I look forward to doing so in the future if there are vegan options available. Dozen is a great place I've heard much about from friends who don't even LIVE in Pittsburgh! Yep, it's that good. Plus, outside of California, vegan cupcakes are kind of a hidden gem. You have to work had to find places that will have them.
The only thing keeping me from giving Dozen a 5 star rating is that they are slightly dry. I've had moist vegan cupcakes, so I know it's not an inability-to-achieve- moistness sort of thing. Step it up just a little, Dozen, and you will have vegan beating down your door for more cupcakes!
