| - Allegro is my go-to bakery for challah. Just about every Friday my son and I make a thing out of getting our challah here. Usually we split a chocolate chip cookie and then head home.
Needless to say, I think this is the best place to get challah in Pittsburgh! I've tried four different places and Allegro has the best, soft, pillowy, reasonably priced, loaves. I also like that I can choose between a small loaf and more traditional larger loaf. Allegro has a stamp card that gets you a ninth loaf of bread for every eight you buy so my challah was on the house today!
Today, instead of a chocolate chip cookie, we got a walnut brownie. I was really disappointed. I got back to the car and tried to break a piece off for my toddler, expecting a nice soft consistency, but it had the crunchy consistency of a crunchy cookie ALL the way through. At first I thought it might be an off spot but the whole brownie was hard and crunchy. It was either a few days old or had really dried out in the display case throughout the day. Either way, it was a disappointing experience. I don't know if that's the desired consistency of the Allegro brownie or not BUT I will probably stick to challah, chocolate chip cookies (so soft omg), and the occasional Hamantasch.
