Hands down one of the best parts of Pittsburgh. This is the first stop when I show anyone around the city. Brie tarts have never disappointed.
Ambiance: very quaint little store front that gets crowded very quickly. If the line is out the door, they like/expect to keep the door closed and have the line continue to form outside so always dress accordingly. No indoor seating, but has a few outdoor seats if you're lucky enough to grab one during the summer. Fortunately, Lawrenceville is a great place to walk around especially on Butler Street. It's also across the street from a park with plenty of benches and swing sets. Not a place where they love to recommend things, they like to keep the line moving so decide what you want before you get up to order. One of everything is never a bad call.
Food: The Brie Tart is hands down one of my favorite items in all of pittsburgh. Extremely unique with a fluffy Pasteur wrapped around slices of Brie and onion. Pain au Chocolat, Croissant aux Amandes, and all other pastries are delicious, I try something new every time depending on what I am in the mood for. Bacon Baguette is one of my favorite breads, it is exactly what it sounds like, you really cant go wrong.
Convenience: Hours can be odd but always easy to swing by on the weekends.
