| - As a brunch fanatic, this place has a spot in my top 5 brunch spots in Pittsburgh.
Warning: make a reservation to be seated in the cafe area during the weekends because it gets super busy and you'd only be able to be seated near the bar section (if that area isn't packed already). Also, try to come on a sunny day as there are lots of big windows for natural lighting to shine through that really brings this cafe alive.
Sunday Brunch:
-Two Eggs Any Style-
I ordered two eggs over medium, toast, bacon, and home fries. It's a simple dish but oh so delicious! Dishes like these can come out too salty because of the bacon and home fries, but Whitfield brings out a perfectly balanced breakfast that was satisfying to my palate.
-Whitfield Breakfast-
Must get. It's beautifully plated with a pop of color from the chimichurri spread on top of the poached eggs. Another balanced dish on the menu.
-Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwich-
A classic but fried to perfection. Wasn't too greasy and the sauce inside really hit the spot.
Came for a second visit after seeing the popular -Olive Oil Chocolate Cake- on Instagram. I've got a sweet tooth for things like chocolate cake so my friend and I came for a spontaneous visit for this dessert. First off, it is so aesthetically pleasing. The dark color of the chocolate cake paired with the pop of pink, orange, and blood orange colors = . This cake is light and spongey, not too thick. It's topped off with a crispy cookie that brings a surprise in texture. The sour straws and blood oranges give a bit of tanginess, creating a good balance to the sweet chocolate cake.
Overall, this cake is bomb. And I've had it twice already
