Treating your Pitt student to breakfast or brunch at Pamela's is a time honored tradition! Your student will appreciate the huge servings of delicious comfort food, and you will appreciate the moderate prices (but remember, it is cash only). Definitely try the some of their famous crepe pancakes! They are thin, crispy around the edges, and the size of a dinner plate. The strawberry stuffed ones are the best.
This location is right in the midst of Pitt campus and so is always crowded with college students. However, don't be put off by the wait, service is fast and the tables turn over quickly.
The ambiance is casual, colorful and fun, with old board game boxes and gameboards decorating the walls. Recommend!
