Best breakfast in the city without a doubt 12/22/2008

As being a breakfast connoisseur, I can sadly say that Pittsburgh wouldn't know a good breakfast if it slapped 'em in the face. However, the Square Cafe seems to be the exception to this. The imaginative menu and good coffee stand in stark opposition to the standard bland, boring, awful breakfasts you'll find in most places. They typically have an interesting take on french toast that cycles in and out seasonally, they make delicious pancakes, their egg dishes are wonderful (bring back the green eggs and ham please) and the bacon. Oh the bacon it is so SO good! Never have I had thicker, meatier, crispier bacon in all my life. I would take a bath in the bacon that they make it is so good. Usually the limp, greasy excuse for bacon you find at most restaurants is enough to make you go vegetarian but not this stuff--this is THE BEST BACON EVER. Pros: BACON! Cons: Small dining room and sometimes having to wait in line more

Fantastic service 2/4/2007

From the minute my boyfriend and I walked in we agreed it was like we were being served by a group of our friends. Everyone from the woman who sat us to our incredibly bubbly, attentive (but not intrusive) server was so incredibly genuine. Pros: Service, atmosphere, pumpkin walnut pancakes more

Decent Food in a friendly, relaxed atmoshphere 8/15/2006

You go to Square Cafe more for friendliness, cleanliness and consistency than remarkable food. The owners and staff are lovely. With just a little effort, the food could be really good, too -- they seem to use great ingredients and have good culinary intentions -- but somehow it always just comes in at average or slightly above average. They need to hire a seasoning consultant or something. And for such a popular breakfast place, there's absolutely no excuse for their poor quality home fries (but that's a problem all over Pittsburgh). Still, the energetic, friendly attitude and warm neighborhood feel make up for a lot, and Square Cafe is defnitely worth a visit for that alone. Pros: Ambience, Availability of Vegetarian Options, Value Cons: Food is good quality but sometimes bland more

If it were only open more! 6/3/2006

The quality and presentation of the food is outstanding. The prices are very reasonable for what you get, and the staff is very friendly and personable. It's unfortunate that it is not open for dinner apart from Fridays and Saturdays, especially in the summertime because the outdoor seating is a prime location for people watching. It's also encouraging that they're supportive of their fellow businesses in the area, and of local artists and musicians. Pros: Veggie Omelet, Breakfast Specials, Service more

Square is Hip 6/10/2004

I go to Europe 3 or 4 times per year for biz and this place would fit in well in Zurich. The advantage is that its Pittsburgh gives you 5 months of weather to sit outside while Zurich gives you 3 (but let's stop the comparisons there). #1 - Lots of healthy food, vegetarian and energy/healthy drinks plus a hip design. That makes for a thin, hip crowd...VERY busy for breakfast on weekends but worth the wait. Pros: Vegetarian, Healthy, Design more

Not Square Meal Cafe 5/7/2004

This new comer to the Regent Square area offers a local eatery for the area's ""family"" members. The decor and location are prime though I wouldn't recommend the food. You may feel the need for clarification of your order and maybe some Tums afterwards. Do not order the home fires as they will be dark brown. PLACE IS GOOD FOR SEEING AND BEING SEEN RATHER THAN A GOOD MEAL. Pros: Decor, patrons, location Cons: , food, value more
