We came here for breakfast one day and lunch another. Service was great. The food was really good. I had the pumpkin walnut pancakes which was a special and paired that with bacon and eggs. Loved the pancake. We also decided to try the blueberry hush puppies. These were a miss for me. Very bland. They needed to be sweeter. When we came back for lunch I wanted to try their chicken tortilla soup and also wanted to try the lemon berry ricotta pancakes so I decided to get both. The pancakes are very big. One was enough for me. The pancake was good. The soup was just ok. I've had better chicken tortilla soup. It might have been better if it was hot. Great location. I would eat here again.

If you haven't tried the breakfast burrito at Square Cafe, you are missing out! I think about it maybe too often? It's super filled with amazing breakfast goodness! I opted to add crumbled bacon this time and I'll be doing that from now on! I really enjoyed my iced vanilla latte too. My only complaint about my most recent visit - I ordered a breakfast biscuit sandwich to go for my husband. I asked if they could just leave the biscuit on the side (not fully assemble the sandwich) so it wouldn't get mushy on the way home. I totally understand that they don't accept modifications, especially because they're so busy. But I felt like that was a really easy request, in my opinion. Our server told us she would try but couldn't guarantee. I was disappointed that they couldn't make this request. Overall, love Square Cafe and would highly recommend for a delicious breakfast and brunch spot!

The food was great and staff were nice! However, the waffle was little dissatisfying as it just tasted like wet flour- no sweet, no texture whatsoever... I did love the food shown in 3rd pic with grit! I don't remember what it was called.

What a fun cafe! We loved the decor so much. Our server was wonderful and quick with suggestions. I ordered the fall mimosa which was so delicious. We ordered the cinnamon rolls as a starter and they were perfect - so good I ate one before I took a photo! My entree was the fall waffles. Perfectly cooked and just the perfect amount of apples and cinnamon. We look forward to returning!

Stopped for girl brunch and I thought jt was good and really reasonably priced. I wasn't hungry so I got something small. It was cinnamon rolls with homemade vanilla icing (only 8). The service was friendly and the restaurant is bright and colorful.

This place is SO CUTE. Filled with local art and merch, you can't help but feel like you're part of the community when you're here. Veggie omelet is pretty hearty. My sister got the veggie burger and we split our meals. I'm not sure if I would get the veggie burger again - but at least its accompanying fries are Cajun and delicious. Husband got a salmon bene, but he wasn't a fan of an English muffin being subbed out for a latke. Maybe it's a preference thing, but otherwise it was great. We also got a hummingbird pancake special, and that was DELICIOUS. Drinks are also great! It's a fun and tasty menu, so be prepared for some hard decisions. Overall, I recommend this place. It's a cute spot.

Came for brunch and we were able to be seated almost immediately. I brought a baby carrier in so they accommodated us with booth seating, which I appreciated. I also really liked the menu that was clearly marked for allergens. Every drink we tried was fabulous and prepared quickly. I had the avocado toast on gluten free bread with salmon - yum! The rest of my group had short rib pierogies, warm cinnamon rolls, and the square breakfast. All were given rave reviews.

We met a friend at the new, East Liberty location for the first time for a late lunch on a Sunday. The wait was not too long, especially since the friend had put her name on the list; they won't find you a table until your whole party arrives, however. The staff are friendly and efficient, and the kitchen was relatively quick. We arrived, waited, got seated, ordered, talked, ate, and paid in 1 hour.The highlights were the large mugs of coffee, the lemon ricotta pancakes, the berry waffles, and (pictured here) the short rib eggs Benedict, which came with sweet potato puree and greens. At first I thought there was no way I would eat the while plate, but sure enough I did, and I enjoyed every delicious bite. Three adults ate for $50, plus tip. The only downside was looking for street parking. We didn't check out the restroom situation.

a nice corner breakfast or brunch spot with mc lots of selections - you'll get overwhelmed. however sometimes they don't have all the bakery/sweet selection which is a bummer. I got the square cafe burger. I asked for a medium rare but for a well done. the party wasn't the most appetizing in my opinion, tasted bland and what not.

You are short changing yourself if you're in Pittsburgh & don't visit the Square Cafe! We have been coming here for years when we are in town visiting our daughter. The main thing we come for is the lemon-berry ricotta pancakes on the breakfast menu; however, they have a yummy, innovative menu for lunch & dinner as well. Our food and coffees were served hot and fresh. Our server was friendly and efficient. The cafe itself is always busy yet super clean (even the bathroom) which is important to us. We highly recommend Square Cafe!
