Pros: Great and various food, attentive service, interesting decor
Cons: Not much except that you're in Pittsburgh not where I live now!!!
Tell me if I can find a place like this in the SF Bay Area. I miss you, Zenith Tea Room!
I have only come here for the Sunday brunch which starts at 11 am. This is one of the hidden treasures of Pittsburgh. The entire brunch is vegan and also dangerously unhealthy (read: tons of sugary treats). The buffet is flat-rate which includes the buffet, a choice of tea/drink and main dish (such as vegan french toast, if that's possible -- it's so awesome).
FOR TEN DOLLARS!
They use mismatched antiquey dishware and silverware. And even the chairs don't match! So in some way, it's like dining in an attic, but everything is tastefully selected. Of course, this place being in the Southside means it's mostly hipsters that come this way. But an incredible gem this is. It's easy to get a table for less than 4...but huge parties, expect to wait.
I really need to come back here just for tea there. They have an incredible tea list. I personally love the darjeeling, but that's the staple for me.
