| - After almost stopping in for weeks, and seeing the intimidating line out the door, we finally made the plunge and were able to quickly get seated. That said, we were here at 830am. While sitting here we've see the line grow out the door.
We ordered the mushroom chèvre, a mushroom omelette, and a savory waffle, the breakfast magic--their supposed best seller. You'd think if they've made it so many times they've have the process down pat. The omelette... I have never in my life had so much grease sitting around an omelette, and it was egg whites! The best part of my plate was the home fries, which were multi colored and delicious. The breakfast magic was nothing but. When you see a photo on a menu, when they take time to add a photo to a menu... It's got to look somewhat like that photo!! The waffle wasn't anything special and the egg was kind of sad. and small.
Even though drinks were refilled quickly, the kitchen must have been very backed up because it took almost an hour to get our breakfast. I understand waiting at other places, but this is breakfast... More likely than not you should be in and out. I had to add more money to our car meter twice while we were here.
Also, there is only one bathroom but there has been a line almost the whole time we've been here.
Most importantly, WAY too loud for a breakfast spot -- acoustics are terrible and bounce the noise, and because the tables are so close together you hear other people's conversations word-for-word.
Generally, staff is friendly and quick to refill the small coffee cups. The waitress upon leaving did offer us a to go cup for our coffee, which was much appreciated and honestly the best part of our visit.
This place claims to be a great waffle experience in Pittsburgh, but it's closer to a Waffle House experience than most would like to admit. And you're overcharged for it.
