Everything looks amazing and I can't wait to go back. There's a groupon for them right now! I had the tofu scramble ! Restaurant is great for vegans , vegetarians , and anyone who likes breakfast !

Mike Busse

Their breakfasts are great! Anything, just order anything that sounds good, I've never been disappointed. Food is locally sourced , vegan and vegetarian friendly menu.

Michael Carpathios

Some of the best food anywhere! Lots of vegetarian options . The cheesy grits are the best thing I've had in my mouth. The veggie hash is amazing. The menu is always changing, so you must return.

Julie Stoops

Loved this place!! Colorful decor, super friendly service and the food was fantastic! Lots of unique and vegetarian options , local ingredients & great coffee .

Donovan Dasher

A Pittsburgh gem with incredible food and service. The breakfast quesadilla was top notch - try the sweet sausage . Call before coming with a group of 5+, it's more suited for smaller groups or dates.

Mollie Gannon

This is one of the best spots Pittsburgh has to offer. The food is consistently delicious & the staff is the best. Crepes , burritos , pancakes & coffee are all top notch!!

Jenya S

The Wicked smoothie , meat madness omelette , salmon crepes and pumpkin pecan pancakes are great. Matcha latte can be with almond milk and without any sugar ????

MacGirlie

Everything is amazing especially the daily specials . Fantastic craft coffee beverages and milkshakes .

Morgan S.

Best breakfast spot in Pittsburgh! Coffee drinks are delicious & come in fun shaped mugs. Sit outside on nice summer days, the lack of AC makes indoor seating a little warm.

Hensley Akiboh

The wait on weekend mornings is sometimes unbearable. But it sure is worth it. Great place if you want breakfast , but not typical diner food ! If you're craving smoothies , this is your spot!

Jenya S

Green protein smoothies , matcha lattes , gluten free protein pancakes and salmon scramble -mmm!

Mark R.

Highly competent waiters . Excellence in the details ie coffee and cream. Delicious and flavorful corn beef hash . Great atmosphere. Will come back.

Mmmm vegan berry pancakes and the chickpea burger with bottomless coffee ! They even had almond milk !

You can order the sweet special as a half order, so great for sharing. Fun, creative specials. I avoid the drip coffee but they make great specialty drinks .

All I can say is omg to the lemon ricotta pancakes and the best drink to ask for is a mint mocha . The drink was originally an oops but turned out to be the best drink ever! Cheers!

The chorizo is fine but the short rib Benedict is to DIE for. Do it.
