Square Cafe & Resto Reviews

Local brunch spot with lots of good options including a few vegan. Their vegan peanut butter pancakes were awesome, and they have good tea and coffee. They get VERY crowded on Sunday mornings, Saturday is a better choice if you want to avoid a long wait. Also parking is street and limited, so you may be in for a hike.

The best vegan pancakes in the area... Don't pass them up.

Awesome food. Seasonal menu. All fresh ingredients. Quirky service.

Great options and convenient. Rwfreshing fruit salad

Three stars because they offer few options for those that remain Gluten Free. No GF breads though. Two stars in all honesty. Stopped in for breakfast. GF Pancakes with house made Berry Compote, Bacon and non-GF brioche French Toast. Have to say it has been a while since we had such good bacon ! GF Pancakes were heavy and grainy but made a carrying agent for some syrup or the somewhat sour berry compote. French Toast was just okay. Nothing offered here any more than the next restaurant. Oh....Unless you count he GF options?

So every time you drive past, you're all like "man, this place is BUSY. No way we'll get a table and I'm pretty hungry. Let's just go someplace else." Well let me tell you what a giant mistake you're making. The turnaround is really fast, you'll get a table pretty quick. And the food? Fresh and tasty. I'd go there for breakfast, but that's just me.

Way too hipster of a place, food was decent at best

Excellent brunch with a fun menu that changes frequently.

Thank you so much for delivering to Bridgeville!! We were able to get one of our favorite dishes, the brussel sprouts and grits, on Monday. Our delivery came earlier than expected our food was hot and just as delicious as when we are in Square Cafe. So appreciated. HIGHLY recommend anything from here. It's all good!

Delicious and unique breakfast/lunch options. A lot of drinks to choose from. Tons of vegan & vegetarian options. Large open space with accentric decor.

Food was good and service was great... Very busy for Sunday morning as expected but I appreciated that they only sat people who had their whole party! We were orginally told 20 minutes but got seated in 5 minutes.

Great food, not your typical menu, very generous portions

Loved the food, the people and the atmosphere! I will be returning.

Really friendly food staff, good food and even better ... good coffee.

Went here with my gf, loved the food and outdoor area.

absolutely the BEST brunch I have ever had. Gluten free pancakes, toast were A+. got the sausage and potato hash, the butter bean smoothie, and house coffee. Cannot wait to go back!!! even non-gluten free friends loved the pancakes too.

Not a bad thing can be said. Food is...Over.the.top. Atmosphere is cool. And it is central for a number of people I meet with.

Great coffee served from very cool homemade mugs. Perfect spot for brunch.

Always creative and tasty. Service is warm with just the right amount of attention given to a customer's needs and expectations.

Used to be excellent all around. Been here at least 50 times. I can t stand how they changed the outside sitting to sit you right next to random strangers where you can hear each other s conversations. I understand they want to serve more people but IMO, it s ruining the experience

Delicious food, served well with a lot of veggie options.

Amazing!!! Super friendly staff, great service and even better food

Delicious! The service is wonderful and the food is amazing. The perfect spot for a breakfast/brunch get together.

There is something for everyone! The food is always great, and the paintings as well!

The service was great, portions were huge, coffee was hot! Loved this place and even bought a mug on the way out!

Delicious food and friendly staff, and kid friendly. I'd make this a regular place to go.

Square Cafe is always great food and great service.

Amazing food with unique selections you won't find anywhere else. Great community feel and just awesome.

One star seems harsh but let's be honest. There's no seasoning. Bland food every time. I have no idea how they're still in business without making good food. It's like they're actively preventing their cooks from doing what they do best!
Service IS always great and since they moved there's way more space to fit customers but do you really want to pay for something you can heat up in the microwave at home and leave unseasoned yourself? You would make better food. I trust you. Save yourself the $20 and just go pick up some eggs or lunch meat and a nice loaf of bread. You got this.

Good food. A couple buck more than Denny's but vastly better

Awesome place! Coffee is great and so are the pancakes. A little pricey, but worth it for the quality ingredients.

I love the food and atmospher . They could be a little more generous on giving 2 chicken sausage instead of 1.

Best breakfast and lunch in Pittsburgh, large gluten free menu. We are in Pittsburgh a couple times a year visiting our daughter and eat at the Square Cafe when we are here

Well rounded, broad menu. Most people will be able to find something on the menu that interests them (vegetarian, vegan, and meat eaters alike).
This place is always super busy, and is a favorite for breakfast spot. The prices are somewhat high for me, but it's still a must try.

Delicious food, good service despite being quite busy on a Sunday morning!

Hands down best breakfast I've had in a while. I got the protein breakfast and was pleasantly surprised.

Wonderful local institution, although pricey and crowded

Best place for sweet treat brunch! Pumpkin pancakes, can I say more. Yum. Love the people and atmosphere here so much.

This was pretty nice. Food was delicious and service was great despite being really busy.

If you're the mood for a good ole homestyle breakfast, make your way to Square Cafe. Located in Pittsburgh's East End neighborhood, Regent Square, this cafe is serving up seasonal menu items using locally sourced ingredients. Be sure to get something off their espresso menu, caffeinated beverages are served in a beautiful mug.

Delicious food & service, super fast delivery.

5 stars

Good but very expensive, the staff was great and the seating was good.

Tasty innovative food pairings in a colorful , casual setting. Highly recommended.

Amazing food and service. When we got there, a bunch of people were already on the wait list, but it went very quickly. Once we were at our seats, they quickly took our orders and the food and drinks came out very fast, which was surprising because the whole restaurant was full. I ordered an Iced Machta Man Latte and my husband got a Berried Away smoothie. Both were really flavorful and pleasant. For food, I got the Pulled Pork and Grits bowl. It was so delicious, I would order it a million more times. My husband had a Corned Beef bowl, which was also very delicious. Everything we ate and drank exceeded our expectations, I can't wait to go back and try more.

Cute little cafe, qwerky coffee cups and decor, wonderful breakfast, great selection.

The food is good, but the coffee really isn't. I'm not sure that it's worth the wait when there are other good places nearby. I'd recommend Nancy's East End Diner as an alternative with far better coffee and equally great food.

The two words I would use to describe my meal and experience at square cafe is disappointing and confusing. The food itself was mediocre at best; the bacon though ordered crispy was soft and bland, the home fries were also soft and barely warm, and even the famous Lemon ricotta pancakes, though tasting very good, were over cooked. This is not my first time here and though my last few experiences were also very mediocre I thought I d give it a try again due to the high praise this restaurant is given, and that is where my confusion comes from. I don t see how this place is constantly receiving such rave reviews when every experience myself and some of my friends and family have had has been utterly disappointing. So if you are thinking of going here, don t listen to the hype, go somewhere else.

My boyfriend and I stopped at Square Cafe for brunch this morning. We arrived and waited about 10 minutes for a table to become available; however, there were two heaters outside to stand by to keep warm in the meantime. We got there just before a large rush of people arrived and were lucky to only have waited as long as we did.

Upon being seated, we felt a little crammed into the center of the cafe between two other tables. Im not a large person, but I really felt like i had to suck it in to get between the tables to my seat and try not to hover over our neighboring tables' food. Also, I felt the cafe as a whole was incredibly loud and it was hard to carry our own conversation because we were so close to two other sets of louder people talking over us to each other.

The coffee was tasty and our server was great with refills. My boyfriend had the breakfast burrito, which we both thought was average.. I had the French toast special which featured a banana cream cheese filling. We both thought this special was delicious (and not too sweet, like some other French toast fillings around the city). The host and waitress were very friendly and efficient.

For 2 coffees, a burrito, French toast and an apple sauce, I thought $45.00 was a little steep, but we would both certainly return if nearby and it happened to be an off time. Overall, I would recommend stopping into this establishment at least once. I feel like this concept would be better executed in a little bit of a larger location so guests could feel a little more comfortable while dining.

Great gathering place in Regent Square. Great food and excellent service.

Awesome food, quaint and friendly atmosphere. There is also outdoor seating with umbrella for covering. They are pet friendly for the outdoor seating area, they even bring a bowl of water for your pet.

I would eat here every day if I could. The wait can be a thing if you aren t prepared. The food is delicious and the coffee is served in the best mugs ever. Lots of vegetarian options! We love the lemon ricotta pancakes and they always have some crazy good special!

My favorite restaurant. Love the variety and specials.

Nice, quaint place with excellent coffee and breakfast options. If you out your name in for a table, do not leave the area! They will give your table away immediately.

Great vibes and good food! I've never been disappointed with anything I've ordered from here.They also have such great drinks.Love the white mocha!Theres also tables set up outside if you were to prefer some sunshine while you eat.Highly recommend!

Always delicious and fresh. Classic breakfast food with twists. Something for every eater (veg gluten free etc). And great coffee!!!

I always love my trips to Square Cafe. delicious food and very cool employees who often have great conversations and food recommendations. I also love seeing that Square Cafe does events and other things to support local organizations.

A favorite restaurant. Good food from simple to complex with a good attitude and welcoming atmosphere.

We enjoyed a lovely lunch outdoors in the cafe. It was beautiful setting to enjoy a lunch with my coworker. The menu offered unique seasonal items that would certainly appeal to anyone. They also offer vegan and gluten free items clearly marked on their daily menus. Our server was friendly and attentive.

Our 2nd time here and food was as good, unique and delicious as 1st. It's a wait..but worth it.. will return.

Love this cafe, it can get busy but it's worth a little wait and it's always best to go on a day with nice weather as there's outdoor tables! I recommend the shakes and the brioche french toast!

Delicious food! Worth the hype and the wait!
Also great servers

Tasty little cafe. Lots of vegetarian and vegan options, in addition to those that aren't. I was surprised at the punch of flavor in the ancient grains bowl. It was really good! Overall a little pricier than our typical breakfast, about $12-15 per plate, but everything was delicious and seemed like good quality ingredients.

Delicious food whether you enjoy savory or sweet. The espresso drinks and smoothies are very interesting and delicious!

Wonderful service and Exquisite food I would recommend this to many people as well as those with gluten or egg allergies.

Wow Sheeree is such a pleasure to work with. I know the square cafe cares about our environment and really cares about their customers. We are a local company who has the pleasure of working with these guys...Excellent place to grab some good food!

Clean, delicious restaurant for breakfast and lunch. Great options for vegetarian and gluten-free also. Wide-ranging menu of creative items and prepared wonderfully. Saturday and Sunday morning wait times can be challenging and though several shops to visit in the Regent Square area, you need to stay close to hear your name called.

Not bad. My food was a little bland but nothing salt and pepper couldn't remedy. The space is very small.

Food and service are always top notch. If you're looking for a place to eat in regent place, you absolutely must come here. There's a reason this place is always crowded.

Great food and atmosphere, will definitely be returning

Great food and service. There are plenty to select, especially for gluten free.

Excellent food. Hard to find parking. Very pricey. Vegan options.
