Holy shit! Greek in my neighborhood?! And I missed it for how long?? No longer. Now I'm a regular: breads are superb (olive I don't eat but buy for friends-superb), whole wheat sourdough (I gobble it up), breads with raisins/cranberries (yes, please), their orange cake (to die for), their cookies and all of their daily sandwiches (yumdumpalous-- I don't know what that means but it sounds like the best way to describe them). The proof is that the place is always crowded. So go early and often. And go visit the other stores nearby. It's a Gastro experience every step of the way. Anthros started something when it opened and it keeps growing. Don't miss it. Your stomach will thank you. read more

Absolutely LOVED every single moment of being here. From the decor to the warm greetings to the delicious meal, I wish there were more than 5 stars to give this place. I had the quiche of the day (quiche Lorraine) with a side salad and topped it off with a chocolate croissant. I won't be hungry again for days. It was so yummy and filling! Bonus - they have grocery items direct from Greece as well so be sure to check those out when you're here. read more

Anthos - Greek Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

This was our first time at Anthos. We went for Mother's Day brunch and the food did not disappoint. I am Greek so I always feel like I am over critical of Greek dishes, considering I grew up eating them my whole life. I really enjoyed Anthos traditional items and a few unique twists on some classic items. I had Tsoureki French toast which was sweet and savory. My only complaint is I wish the portion was larger! This dish is definitely on the sweeter side because there are cherries, it might have been ideal to add some eggs to my meal for balance. My husband had Croque Madame which he really enjoyed, everything was cooked to perfection. My boys had Mac & cheese and a kids cheeseburger. The Mac & Cheese was a little on the runny side, but my son ate every last bite. And I think we got the wrong burger for my youngest son, we ordered a kids slider and a huge cheeseburger was sent to our table. The burger itself was amazing, it reminded me of when my Papou used to make us cheeseburgers! All of the moms got free mimosas which was a sweet added touch. And there is plenty of items to purchase like olive oil, tea, honey etc. Although our meals were fantastic, I will say it is on the pricy side for kids meals. My oldest son had Mac & Cheese and added chicken. That made his meal alone more than mine. My youngest son had a kids cheeseburger but it ended up being $11. Once again I think we got charged for the lunch portion, which was okay we took the left overs with us. I also had a Greek iced tea which I highly recommend. I loved it so much I bought the box of tea and the honey! We also shared a piece of Galaktoboureko. The portion was huge compared to what you would get at a Greek food festival. It had almost an orange taste to it which was different, we all enjoyed it. I would absolutely go back, this is a fantastic spot for brunch with family or friends. The staff is very kind and inviting. read more

This place is so cute! And so very Greek! It's packed at all hours but they have a menu that keeps the crowds moving along. Coffee is decent but the food is so flavorful. They have a full on bread basket that seems like a joke on the menu but it's real and it's delicious. (More suited as a dish for the table) but the butter, honey and fig jam are a nice compliment. And some days you just need to eat all the bread. The salads taste authentic and fresh. You won't be getting any brown avocado like you see a lot of other places. And the herrrrrbs in it don't miss. And for your picky eaters. They have traditional style brunches so that everyone is happy. Can't wait to go back and try some new things. read more

Anthos is such a gem in the Castle Shannon area. You literally can't go wrong with any menu choice. Their food is fresh, and you can tell that they pour their hearts into it all. The owners will make you feel like family (that's my favorite part). Their baked goods blow my mind every time...and I'll never stop dreaming of the spanakopita. 10/10 all around. read more

We stopped at Anthos for lunch a few days ago. Like others have stated I was a bit overwhelmed when I walked in. The counter is filled with wonderful looking pastries bread and other delicacies. The menu is pure Greek and reminded me of being in Santorini years ago. I ordered the Moussaka and my wife had the Spanakopita, both came with a delicious salad. We loved both of them and had the Loukamades for dessert. On the way out I picked up a loaf of the sourdough bread which was also great! Can't wait to return!! read more

I had the mushroom toast and it was phenomenal! Very rich. And great coffee. The cafe is cute and a great place to hang.

This place is amazing! Perfect for a weekend brunch! They have a good variety food/drink menu - almost too many good things to choose from lol - and other Greek/Mediterranean product in the store. For my brunch, I had the avocado toast and the Anthos House Salad (added chicken), both are amazing! The salad had sautéed cremini and oyster mushrooms in it, also came with their special apple molasses dressing, amazing! Avocado toast is smaller than I thought for $10 but it's delicious. Also brought home their veggie Koulouri - the Greek sesame ring bread with feta, olive and tomato inside. Excited to have it for tmr's breakfast!! Love their atmosphere, the bright and Greek vibe interior is gorgeous and the people are lovely! Definitely recommend and will go back soon! read more

Visited today for the first time. We loved the coffee and pastries we had last year while in Greece, so I was excited To try this place. I had no idea it was here and now am glad it's so close to work. First impressions are fresh, clean and new. The place was immaculate and had a nice vibe. The interior was well laid out and cleverly decorated. I was quickly greeted. I opted for the traditional Greek/Turkish coffee that I loved so much while visiting Greece and the koulouri. The koulouri was new to me. To explain it would be shaped like a very large, but thin bagel with sesame seeds. I was pleasantly surprised that it was not as dense as a bagel but was fresh, chewy and delicious. As I sat gnashing on the koulouri and waiting my coffee, one of the folks came over and gave me a small container of Greek honey and suggested I dip the koulouri in the honey as a special treat. That put it over the top, delicious. The breads looked amazing as did all the pastries. I did order two pastries to take home with me. I did snag a quick bite of each before leaving and they were phenomenal. My wife lives almond croissants, so I selected one of those to take home. As I said, I snuck a taste and it was one of the best almond croissants that I've ever had. Fresh, flaky and delicious. The second pastry was apricot, it was very good as well. As I sat enjoying my coffee and breakfast I took on the sights of all the passing food, it looked very good. The place was bustling with couples having breakfast, families grabbing a bite and food simply enjoying coffee while working on laptops. It was bright and inviting inside. I studied the menus before leaving and everything looked good. I will certainly return. #yelppittsburgh. read more

We've heard such good things about this place so we decided it was time to try. When you arrive, you order at the counter then find a table. They request you don't hold tables until you order. The place was packed! I got the Mediterranean eggs Benedict and my husband got the croque madame a la grecque. We also got a mini baguette because the bread selection was irresistible. Both meals were delicious and there was ample. We didn't go home with leftovers but we were full after. We can't wait to go back and sample all the bread! Seriously, the bread is incredible. read more

This place is outstanding. I had been ordering from them online as I live out of town. And liked their stuff so well I made a point to stop when I was in town Every time I ordered online my order was great and there was a wonderful note and sometimes a little something extra in the box. Arriving at the cafe I wasn't sure what to expect. But it was the very same quality attention and friendliness that i had experienced online. Everything was so delicious. And really not like anything else I had gotten. The attention to quality and details really shows. So much love in this place. read more

I'm so glad Anthos was recommended to me. Went for breakfast and it was outstanding! We had the Breakfast Plate and Greek Island Bowl, along with a Freddo Cappucino.

Oh my goodness did not think I would hit an absolute home run with my first non fast food / primantis restraunt after my move to the steel city! Anthos, Anthos, Anthos it has it all, great ambiance, friendly staff, great food and yes it comes at a higher price tag but you get what you pay for! Now I'll tell you what, this is a teetering five star review it almost struck a 4 but the intangibles lifted it up to the additional star. For me I got a burger with fries - the burger is everything you would expect from a $17 burger - when I tell you I could taste the mediterainian I'm not kidding you, wow! Now for the fries, the fries nearly docked it a star, they were just not fried enough maybe, I don't know it was the only thing we fully left. I got a cappuccino as well it came in a cup less than 8 Oz and that is enough to buy me over! If the cappuccino comes in a bowl you could eat cereal out of then it's not a good cappucino, and luckily that was not the case here at Anthos - you can tell the barista is skilled in the art of coffee and flavors! Now for me lady - she got the hot chocolate, rich, creamy, heavenly - and for the main course a breakfast sandwiche with bacon, honeslty after a bite this was just above middle of the road needed to dip it in ketchup, the standard for breakfast sandy would be the flavor expels the need for ketchup! But otherwise a very solid sandy! For 'desert' if you can call it that at 10:30 am LOL the chocolate croissant - and they hit this one on the head as well, very good transported me to a European cafe 10/10 would recommend. Now as I conclude this up and down review I leave you the reader with 5 stars, the ambiance and life at Anthos pushes this over the top, I would recommend to any train rider passing by!

My wife and I had lunch here today. We were lucky to get a table the restaurant was filled with happy customers. The staff is friendly efficient and the food excellent! You order at the cash register pay for your order and then place a number on your table . A server delivers your order to you. We saw families with children, college students and seniors - the restaurant appealed to all . I tried the Greek entrée Moussaka which is baked eggplant beef with cheese it was outstanding . My wife ordered a salad, it was fresh and delicious. The restaurant has its own bakery so we picked up a loaf of olive bread to have with dinner tonight. I highly recommend this Greek restaurant. read more

I have been to Anthos a few times since my first five-star review and, after having breakfast there today, I am happy to report that it maintains its five-star review. While I only ordered "eggs your way," I took home monkey bread and a cardamom and cinnamon bun. The monkey bread, an originally Hungarian treat, was PHENOMENAL. The co-owner's wife rang me up and she couldn't have been lovelier. It DOES get crowded on the weekends. So, I highly recommend that you spread the love and visit during the week. You won't regret it! read more

An awesome addition to the neighborhood!! We ordered the mushroom toast, moussakas, chicken avgolemono soup, and cappuccinos. Mushroom toast: sautéed portobello, cremini and oyster mushrooms on sourdough bread topped with gruyere and a truffled leek béchamel. Moussakas: traditional casserole with layers of ground beef cooked in tomato sauce, onions and aromatic spices, grilled eggplant, and topped with béchamel. Served with side salad. Chicken avgolemono soup: Greek style chicken soup with chicken broth, deboned chicken, rice, egg, and lemon. Served with bread. Everything was delicious. I loved the truffled leek béchamel on the mushroom toast. They also have a large selection of breads, pastries, pre-made sandwiches, and market items. read more

I was blown away by the Freddo Cappucino as well. Would definitely return again! :) read more

This place is great. Authentic Greek food options that are very fresh and tasty. The atmosphere is super trendy and cute, loved that. Also very clean. The service was as fast as it could be (considering it was extremely busy) but they handled it well and kept things moving. Self-Seating looks intimidating when you enter but there's a good rotation as the ordering line moves. The Freeda Cappuccino was noticeably different than your average coffee shop and tasted authentic, which is a weird way to describe coffee but when you taste it you'll understand. No fillers and syrups. Very good. 10/10 read more

Located in downtown Castle Shannon, I finally got the chance to stop by when in the area. I would describe it for those familiar with the local Mediterra Bakery and Cafe chain as the Greek version. It's gorgeous and modern. There are a couple of tables with one side booth seating, the rest are either 2 or 4 seat tables plus stools at one end of the counter. There's a back patio with umbrella tables. It was a mostly full dining area during my visit on a Friday in August. They had their garage door style walls open allowing in the most pleasant breeze. Though being right at the heart of town intersection isn't ideal with train and auto traffic noise and exhaust. I scored a parking space right out front on the other side which is a 2 hour limit Mon-Sat between 9-6. There's more public parking spaces at the end of the block on Willow Ave (look for the little green letter P icon to the one-way entrance). I went before 11 o'clock and ordered from the breakfast menu. You order at the counter, they give you a number, and you seat yourself wherever available. There were several customers getting to-go orders as well. The staff were all courteous. If within the vicinity, I highly recommend checking out this eatery. read more

Anthos is such a quaint restaurant and we truly enjoyed it! It is located right off of Castle Shannon boulevard on willow avenue. You do have to either park on the street or in the parking lot down the road but it was no issue. The atmosphere is bright and cheery and truly feels like you're in a cafe in Greece. There is not only food and bakery items but also other items such as olive oil. The staff and owners are all very nice, welcoming and very knowledgeable about the menu. It is not your traditional sit down restaurant - you actually go to the counter to place your order and they give you a number and bring you the food when it is ready. We ordered the Eggs Benedict, breakfast sandwich and traditional Greek frappes. We also ordered the olive bread to go but we ended up eating it as an appetizer when while we waited and it was fantastic. I've never had fresher bread. When the entrees came, we were blown away. They were not just traditional breakfast style foods, there was a Greek twist on each one which made it unique and delicious. We will definitely be back for dinner very soon! read more

This restaurant is new and there is always room for improvement. So I'm trying to be fair, but just want to get my experience out there. First off the BREAD is EXCELLENT! Everything is freshly baked. It tastes as good as it looks. The brioche was soft and buttery. The side of toast was perfectly grilled. The decor of the restaurant is clean and modern. Now the places that need improvement: - wait time - food quality (besides the bread) - noise Sunday morning we ordered an Egg Sandwich and Eggs Your Way. There were two couples who ordered after us, similar items, and they both received their food first. We waited around 30 mins from the time we ordered. Their restaurant wasn't very busy when we came in. My breakfast sandwich, while very IG worthy, was was also very one note in flavor. Missing any type of seasoning. They also didn't include the cheese or side salad like the other yelp photos. The most frustrating part was the noise level. The room amplifies sound and the music volume was way too high for a small space. By the end of eating, noise was pretty unbearable, especially after waiting 30 min for our food, and we were unable to have a decent conversation. Adding a menu up front as well as relocating the coffee condiments will create a better flow of customer traffic and less of a bottle neck near the registers A few small changes will definitely improve the space! It has a lot of potential. read more

First impression when walking in was a Starbucks with Greek flair! Wonderful display of breads, sandwiches, and baked goods that make you drool. The menu wasn't easily seen, but we found paper copies before seeing the chalk board further in. We settled on their special Mushroom Toast and the Meze Dip Platter. Unfortunately after we ordered they came over to our table to tell us they were out of the eggplant dip (which was the main reason we chose that) so we switched to the Greek Salad. The Mushroom Toast was fantastic with a truffle flavor sauce and browned Gruyere cheese. The salad was good, slightly too much vinegar IMHO, and came with tiny bread pieces that were not much to dip with; nonetheless, the veggies were fresh and crisp. read more

What an addition to the neighborhood! Anthos is an authentic Greek bakery and coffee shop located right in Castle Shannon off the T line against ice castle. Anthos has a beautiful and modern interior with plenty of seating and Greek decor and design which makes sense given the owners came to Pittsburgh from Athens. Everything is handmade and obviously very cared for. After visiting Greece a few summers ago, the coffees match the coffee from Greece and there's a lot of passion in making each one. Servings are nice sized and it's comfy to sit in and relax. The Greek salad was very large with Plenty of each ingredient and delicious olive oil. You can tell the ingredients are carefully selected and imported for an authentic feel. The salad comes with a piece of bread perfect for dipping in the extra olive oil at the bottom of the bowl. The bread bowl had 5 fresh pieces of bread and for two people, we couldn't get near making a dent in the basket. The jams and honey provided is all imported and tastes perfect with each piece of bread. The freshness really stands ahead of the other bakery/cafes in the area. Looking forward to coming back! read more

Talk about amazing. For how busy it was... they were very fast and kind. The food is. Well worth the money but it is definitely a once and a while kind of meal. It was very loud in the bakery but that's just a good sign of a wonderful bakery. The pastries are phenomenal. I've had the pleasure of working at the French bakery La Gourmandine on Cochran rd and this places blows it out of the water. They did French pastries better than the French! read more
