Solid brunch spot for those who adore waffles like I do. They have ample savory and sweet options plus a good location (near South Side Works) with outdoor street-side seating. Definitely tougher to get a seat on Sunday morning but nothing the No Wait App can't fix. All-in-all, a solid brunch spot for a small group but a little skimpy on the portions.
Food:
I'll start here since this was the star of the show. Two words: Funky Monkey. I've got a killer sweet tooth and this one did the trick to appease it. Milk chocolate chips stuffed in the center with a very rich and not overly-nutty peanut butter chiffon. Big fan of the bourbon syrup too. I would die a happy man if that was my last meal. My only criticism was the portion- $9 isn't outrageous and for someone who eats small portions, I was fine. But it's subpar for Pittsburgh standards. Definitely not your Deluca's. A few others at the table had the savory ones and the chorizo stuffed waffle was a favorite.
Drinks:
Being in Pittsburgh, when places offer local goods, it makes me happy. Coffee roasted in Beaver Falls- good stuff.
Ambience:
I can't speak much to inside but outdoor seating was a nice find. It's street side so it isn't that glorious but when the weather is nice, it's a rarity to find in Pittsburgh.
Service:
Our waiter spilled water and coffee twice but he just struck me as a clumsy guy. Otherwise he was very responsive and friendly- no complaints at all there.
