| - Living in Morningside, it is worth battling the current construction traffic and multiple bridge detours, to get to "the other side of town" for some Onion Maiden.
Yes, it's Cash only. Yes, it's all vegan. But don't let that be a dealbreaker - because you'll be missing out on some of the most amazing comfort food. Our favorite is the "McMaiden sandwich" on Saturday morning brunch, however. It is PERFECT, and there is no sacrifice in taste or quantity of food - the "egg", the "cheese", the "bacon". Absolutely crave-satiating. The roasted potatoes give all other breakfast diners a run for their money. These potatoes don't even need condiments (and I'm a total Pittsburgh basic b*tch that puts Heinz on everything potato). I could also eat the Kale 'Em All salad every single day with every single meal.
Sometimes I want to be gluttonous and order two meals at a time for myself - but then I wouldn't have room for the donuts. And WHICH ONE TO CHOOSE FROM!!! #firstworldproblems There are usually some classic favorites to choose from (like the chocolate-mousse filled "Cronos"), and then some surprise flavors that have cereal, or pretzels, or "Blood Stains" on top. No matter what flavor we have tried, they all just seem to melt in your mouth.
The music, menu items, and atmosphere is also great for those who love Rock music, of all kinds. There's even a poster from Club Laga, for all of us old Pitt kids. Even if you're not a fan of Rock, the decor isn't obnoxious, and the music ranges from classic to metal to punk to ska. No one is left out.
If you're not willing to go to the other side of town for an amazing donut, then try them out at Artisan Café on Penn Ave. All of the deliciousness; none of the traffic.
