Prantl's is conveniently located in Shadyside and right in our path to our friend's house. Their waiting staff seems in a bit of a rush but is generally polite. That's about all the good things I can say about them.
I've stopped by many many a nights driven by an inconsolable need for sweet treats. What you get is sweet but not a treat: sugar and butter fluffed up. Even the mini cakes are dry inside, the frosting is identical regardless of the color. I have no idea how you can sell over 6 types of cup/mini-cakes and have them all taste in the same way. There are all these things called lemon zest and fruits that should make them taste differently.
