Hear from our valued guests
Happy to have stumbled upon this place :) Such a fun menu with savory and sweet crepes, as well as so many other delicious looking meals. My family and I were visiting from Chicago, so not sure if/when we'll get back, but I very much wish we had this place in Chicago.
I came here for brunch with my friends. Being in the Strip district the parking is hard to find. Sunday was a little more lenient but it took me some time to find a parking spot. The restaurant wasn't crowded so we got seated first. The waiter was very nice and knowledgeable about the menu. I ordered a veggie omelet with French fries and my friend a crepe. Both were good and the food came out fast. The ambience was chill and loved the artwork. I would definitely be back.
Went there recently wth my wife for brunch and had the best experience since we moved to PGH. Its a cozy place with beautiful decor and atmosphere. Staff is very kind and the owner personally made sure that we had a pleasant time. Food was great and fastly served. Make sure you try the ‘nutella love’ when you visit. Overall 10/10 would go there again.
TLDR; Go here, right now, today, you won't regret it. This is an excellent and often overlooked restaurant in the Strip. I first came in because I saw they have Turkish Coffee. I love Turkish Coffee, it really brings out the flavors of the beans without the bitter and acid flavors of western coffees. They use good beans so the coffee is good, if you were to make it for yourself you'd select a bean for your preference.....I'm not really a coffee snob, I swear... Anyways, the food! The food is absolutely delicous. I have been here 5 times and had something different each time. If I had to choose my least favorite it would be the burger, it is a good burger, but compared to the OTHER food......the food is so good. The Brentwood Bagel, the Club, the Pesto Chicken Sandwich, the Pancakes, the French Toasted Croissant stuffed with strawberries and topped with Biscoff cream.....all so amazing. Every time I come here is a treat. The staff is great too, very friendly, especially to regulars. I have been introducing my coworkers to the cafe and they have been so welcoming. The atmosphere is calm and chill. A very pleasant and relaxing place. The service is very fast. Due to the "hidden gem" nature of the place it is never overwhelmingly busy, which is cool for fast service, but sad becuse this place deserves to be better known. There's a line out the door at Primanti's....PRIMANTI'S! It may be iconic but it is not worth that wait, yet you have this place with some amazing and downright decadently delicious food whose lunch rush is 4 tables. Get in here people!
Great little breakfast spot in the strip! Service was quick and the staff were so friendly! Very kind people that work there. I got the triple scramble with bacon and it was delicious! Eggs were cooked light and fluffy but flavorful. bacon was cooked to perfection! Their crepes are really good too!
It was a quiet day in the Strip District, so the restaurant was pleasantly quiet. We had breakfast; I had the berry and goat cheese crepes, and my husband had a Mediterranean omelette. Both were delicious and presentation was excellent. I don’t remember the server’s name, but he was personable and efficient. I would highly recommend this restaurant!
I love what we got, it’s a good portion size. The music it’s very welcoming, the server very helpful and the food was amazing!
Wonderful food, creative but classic, art covering the walls, lovely music, and amazingly attentive service from friendly people. Oh, and a full spectrum of coffee options !!
What a wonderful cafe. Plenty of food options and mine was perfect - the avocado toast, served with egg, salad, rocket, goats cheese, tomatoes, and toast. I got bacon on the side and it was so tasty. We even got treated to a free banana and strawberry crepe and Turkish coffee! It was absolutely delicious, a perfect end to the brunch. Not too sweet, and the fruit in the crepe makes you feel better about yourself ;) Eto was a fantastic host, he was friendly and chatty and hospitable. I will DEFINITELY come back. Great prices too :)
I went with a friend on a Monday around midday. The server Eto was very welcoming and invited us to sit down. The menu was relatively simple and the food, which came out very quickly, was top notch. Portion sizes were generous and the price was good value. The decor was unique with lots of artwork, decorative tiles on the floor and umbrellas on the ceiling. I would definitely visit again!
