Great food & friendly staff! A little gem in the mountain!! We love it there!! Love sitting outside enjoying the beautiful landscaping while sipping a sweet lemon mint tea!! read more

Visited on a Saturday in between tours at Frank Lloyd Wright properties. I love the ambiance, decor, and meaning poured into this place. The food was delicious. Servers were friendly and hospitable. The only downside is waiting in line to order and then waiting for your food. This is probably not the place to come when you have a time crunch, but if you can eat a leisurely meal, come on! I had the Bittersweet chicken salad sandwich and we shared a peanut butter mousse dessert, both were great! read more

Came to visit my friend in Mill Run and we both tried this place for the first time. I got the avocado toast with egg and he got the Belgium waffle. We were greeted by bob the cat on the patio who was so sweet and loved pets. We ordered and they brought it out to us, the staff was so nice and I love the decorations this place is so pretty, they have so many plants and I even saw someone cutting some herbs from outside, this is a great place to get a snack or meal and relax outside enjoying the peaceful ambiance. The food was great very simple and tasty felt homemade. read more

Bittersweet Cafe - Avocado toast with egg and Belgium waffle with strawberry - Cafes Near Me - Farmington, Pennsylvania

Omg. The absolute *cutest* cafe in the Ohiopyle area. The garden and flowers are absolutely gorgeous and we loved the little outdoor kitty! On a weekend, expect there to be a line but once we ordered it didn't take too long for the food to come out. They have an amazing selection of coffees and fresh teas and lemonades--get the lavender if you can!!! We decided to split the pulled pork grilled cheese--and wow. It was on fresh sourdough with an incredible homemade barbecue dipping sauce. My only regret was not ordering more things to try! 100% worth the stop when you're in the area--sooo cute and homey. read more

I was in town with my best friends last weekend for my bachelorette, and we came across Bittersweet Cafe during our visit in the area. It is a very cozy and lovely space with a wide variety of delicious sandwiches and drinks! We all were fans of the Angry Bird Panini as well as their Belgian waffles! Their iced tea offerings were some of the best I've had at a cafe as well! They have fresh squeezed lemonade which makes for a delicious Arnold Palmer, and they have a fantastic iced orange and pomegranate tea drink that we all agreed was a favorite! The service was welcoming and attentive, it truly felt bittersweet leaving Farmington knowing the cafe wasn't coming with us! The cafe itself is dedicated to the owners son and has a powerful story behind it, all are welcome at their cafe and it shows! :) read more

This is one of those diamond in the rough kind of places. On the side of a speedy road, you blink and are past it. But, if you are reading this review, go back! It's worth the visit. They have a beautiful outdoor garden setting and plenty of room inside. It's hard to give the outside seating the credit it deserves. It's obvious that they take just as much pride in the garden as they do the food. It's one of those garden retreats you rarely find at an eatery.. Staff was great, the coffee was perfect and the food was super tasty. We wish we had found this place on the first day vs. the last. read more

One of the best burgers Ive ever had. Just flavor flavor flavor. Tomatoes were ripe and sweet. Burger was savory. Sauce was zesty. Just an all around hit. BLT burger was a banger. Tomato soup killed it. Just incredible. This place is off the charts. Come here if you wanna get the best read more

The salmon sandwich was excellent but pricy ($18) and I enjoyed the lavender honey latte - but there was a $2.50 upcharge for non-dairy milk. The apricot cranberry oatmeal cookie was excellent - not very sweet. Staff was nice and let me connect to the WiFi so I could take care of some business on my laptop. All in all, great experience, but minus half a star on pricing. read more

Mother and son owners. Salt of the earth. Everything done with love and heart. If I had my ukulele, I'd write a song about this cafe. Their food is amazingly delicious, flavorful and fresh. I absolutely loved my salmon sandwich and delicious salad. We also got a berry smoothie and a lemonade to go. The decor has a lovely vibe. Cozy and country but modern. And their wall of kindness . PAY it Forward wall. It brought tears to my eyes to see how nice folks can be . Folks taking time to donate and be kind. Witness this kindness indeed, written offer to treat a person in need . This brought a tear to my eye... I had to join in and buy ( and fill out the dedication) This is a sweet sweet spot. My heart is full & my tummy too. read more

Cool space.. but pretty limited menu for breakfast options and the sandwich was overall bland. They provided 2 condiments which I used but still needed something, salt and pepper even.. the price was kind of steep for a sandwich $10 for an English muffin sandwich and nothing else. I think the English muffins were homemade which was appreciated but not something I would return for but was a quick stop as we were passing through. To each their own though! The space was very clean and serene .. nice outdoor seating and landscaping and a sweet shop cat that roams around. The staff were very nice. It may be someone's hidden gem but not my cup of tea. read more

When visiting Ohiopyle and the surrounding area, this place is a must! From their locally sourced goods to the friendly cats, I love everything about coming here. We got waffles and a burger on my last visit to Bittersweet with my son, and I got a seasonal s'mores latte. While we sat and ate, I noticed tags hung on Christmas garland that were donated by fellow customers for people in need. Some of the descriptions were "for someone who feels lonely," "for someone struggling with mental health", "for a single mother" and that was one of the most touching things I have seen this season. The workers have been nothing but kind any time I've been here, and the food is always 10/10. Highly recommend this place and can't wait to come back and visit again. Also, I got a handmade jar of their pear and ginger preserves and can't wait to bake with it!! read more

Our group of 7 stopped in for lunch before heading to Fallingwater. It was a beautiful day, and we were able to enjoy the outdoor seating. We tried several of the sandwiches and the apple salad, as well as the tomato cream soup. EVERYONE raved about the food. The gal working the counter was friendly and attentive without hovering. read more

The Bittersweet Cafe has so much heart! The owner' son passed away from overdose, and so part of their proceeds go toward helping addicts. There were a lot of encouraging notes and signs all around the cafe. The cafe itself is also super cute. We sat on the wraparound porch, which has a bunch of healthy looking plants everywhere. It felt like a place that's really loved. I got the Bittersweet burger and a blackberry lemonade. The burger has hot pepper jelly on it that made it a little sweet. It wasn't what I expected, but it was still yummy. The lemonade was great. They seemed a bit understaffed though. It was nice taking our time and staying a while. But if you're on a schedule, I wouldn't come during their busy hours. Overall I really enjoyed my experience here and would come back to try something else. read more

Stopped in here for lunch on our way to Fallingwater, I had a BBQ pork which was very good and my daughter had the grilled cheese which she liked very much. What I did not like was having to pay $5+ dollars for an ice tea and then not being able to get a refill without paying an additional $2.50, I have never been in a restaurant where you had to pay for tea refills. read more

Great people. Really great coffee - I have the Americano. Beautiful place. Great ambience and wonderful outdoor seating in good weather in mountains. Baked goods are good. Lovely house cat. Visits everyone who pays attention to it. I've only had the sautéed potatoes with hot peppers. It's of very good quality but too hot for me. I'd rather have chives and sweet peppers/carmelized onions. I don't eat meat or dairy. But I want to try the salmon and haven't yet. Will be leaving area but will return later when I move back to my home state of PA. Love these mountains and all areas around the Laurel mountains also. read more

It's a smaller, intimate place. They have a smaller menu (which I prefer) as food is made to order. I haven't had a bad experience yet there and have gone numerous times. They are more of southern style so you can find biscuits & gravy. Never had until at this place & a southern friend of mine said it's good. Food is always hot & if you need small modifications, they got you. They also have a small bakery counter if you just want a pastry. The tables are a bit close but it's to try to get as many people served as possible. It's a place I bring people to regularly. read more

After hiking in the snow at Ohiopyle all morning with a friend, we decided to get an early dinner here since it had gluten and dairy free options. This place was amazing and is worth going to if in the area! Their lattes are great and the food was delicious! The service was quick the ambiance was great. I really was not expecting this place in ohiopyle since the area is Sialkot just greasy fries and messy burgers but this place was far better and worth the extra drive. read more

I LOVE the ambiance here! Ohiopyle' some of my favorite parts of PA and I might have to add Bittersweet Cafe to part of that list as well. Yummy, interesting food options. I had a panini and it was delish. Coming here in the summer months and being able to sit outside and admire the plants and such is the best vibe. read more

The coffee was really good. The breakfast menu was puzzling and super expensive. I mean-more than my day breakfast place located in the upper west side of Manhattan. Puzzling because everything is side YouTube can have a huge bowl of potatoes drenched in black pepper....add two eggs and it's 14.00. No toast. That's another side and then your breakfast is 17-18....in PA. Also I don't want a huge bowl of just one thing. One of the reason I go out is to have a nice plate of a couple of items. Maybe lunch is better read more

Very cute place. Very long wait and the menu is not kid friendly at all. The food was good but pricey.

When looking for a place to re-fuel my body after a 5-hour hike in nearby Ohiopyle, Pennsylvania, this was by far my first choice. There is a seasonal sister cafe now in downtown Ohiopyle that triggered the recall of a Yelp Elite friend having reviewed their flagship location. It is conveniently located right on the route back to I-40. And may be because it is not right in downtown, it is less crowded. The Saturday in June I went, their space could easily accommodate our group and the communal seating style is also conducive for large groups. It is definitely a more relaxed dining atmosphere than the options downtown. Without the periodic road noise, it feels like a tranquil retreat with the surrounding trees, birds chirping, and log cabin in the country feel. You order at the corner and they come find your table number to deliver your order. Yes, the prices are high and yes, for that price they are using top quality ingredients and offering an elevated menu. I never like being forced to choose paying concession prices for low grade food because there aren't other options so I am thrilled Bittersweet Cafe offers an alternative. It's a plus that I love to support this type of fast casual small business eatery when I can. read more

I love all things Bittersweet Cafe! They have the most heartwarming pay it forward board. It is filled with items such as a breakfast meal for a teacher, $10 for a single mom, coffee for a first responder, etc. The world map to show where visitors have traveled from is a cute touch that makes you feel their sense of community. It's really just a standup place all around. All ingredients are local and fresh, some items straight from their onsite gardens. They make a genuine effort to keep their menu as humane and local as possible. I haven't had a bad meal there. Expect to wait, but enjoy the ambiance while you're there. It's a great spot to set up your laptop and work or have a conversation over coffee with a friend. They have adorable merch for purchase too. Coffee is always good and they have many variations to choose from. This was one of my favorite local spots when I lived in the area! read more

Everything about this place deserves a 5 star rating: the food is incredible, the service is friendly and personable, the atmosphere is lovely, the little cat that hangs around is even adorable. My partner and I were doing a weekend trip to hike and relax and this was the perfect spot to end on trip on a Sunday. It's not common to see London Fog Lattes on any menu, so I have to try one when I do, and this was one of the best I've ever had. If you're a tea lover, I highly suggest trying it. The Bird and the Angry Bird were both amazing, you can taste the quality in the food and the coleslaw is a must. I can't say enough about this place, everything they're about is positive. We were too full to try a smoothie, so we've decided that's just another reason to return soon. read more

I think it is hard to do traditional American food better but this place does. The Bittersweet Burger is spectacular. It's a different take on a classic still the same but just elevated. It has a nice beefy flavor from the well seasoned quality beef with a mix of cheeses an egg and a chili flake jelly that's sweet and just a little bit of spice. It's a flavor bomb that's what you expect with a burger but with a slight twist that just elevates. Highly recommend this place for the good food, the care they put into it and the hospitality of their staff. It's the perfect way to end a beautiful tour of Fallingwater it complements it. read more

Was here a few weeks ago after visiting Fallingwater. They have great out door seating and it was a nice day. The Belgian waffle is crispy, and the strawberries and whipped cream add some nice notes. The syrup is sweet and delicious. I also heartily recommend the bacon. To order you line up in the front room and they bring it to your table when it is ready. Overall it was a great experience. read more

Visited Bittersweet for the second time this past Saturday for my boyfriend's birthday. In one word, this place is "enchanted". Their menu is thoughtfully curated and the food is delicious. In response to other reviews that have stated they took too long for their order, I didn't have this experience, and I came on a Saturday mind you. It does get busy and is not your normal restaurant spot, so if you don't have at least a little time to kill, you might save this place for later. My boyfriend had the Belgian waffle and I had the sausage breakfast sammie. They did let his espresso sit a bit too long before bringing it out, so they had to remake it. Hey, everyone deserves a little grace. Our server was more than friendly. Side note, I also very much appreciate that they display Bible verses everywhere and are explicit about who they are as a business. As a fellow Christian, it is encouraging! Will return again and again. read more

The wait was worth it. Docking a star for the wait and inability of calling order ahead or ordering online ahead. We ordered the pulled pork grilled cheese and the bird sandwich. Both were delicious but the Bird was by far my favorite. They have an Angry Bird where they'll add a spicy aioli but they ran out when I got up to the counter which was disappointing. We waited in line for about 20 minutes to put in an order at the register. Then waited another 30 minutes for the food to come out. So it was a long time for what was supposed to be a quick lunch but at least the weather was nice and we were sitting at a table outside while we waited for the food to come. Technically, you can call ahead to order if you want to skip the wait, but they won't answer the phone if they're busy with in person orders because all hands on deck for those. We also ordered strawberry & cream smoothie and creamsicle smoothie- those were just ok. I would have rather ordered a pastry item instead. Overall the food is worth the wait and I would definitely return if I'm ever back at Nemacolin. Keep in mind- they are only open on weekend days, so plan accordingly! read more

Very disappointed! Very pricey for what you get! Grilled cheese sandwich with pickle $12.50 should have had a side dish. Will not return!

This place is well worth a stop in. The sandwiches are tasty and the drinks are original and delicious. This locally owned place has indoor and outdoor seating and is right in between Fallingwater and Ohio Pyle. They offer homemade fresh baked goods, wraps, dog treats, and a lot of great café options. I ordered the bird and a cinnamonMaple latte with soy milk. I loved it it was hot not too sweet and worth the price. read more

I have been here several times as I always try to stop in when I go to Seven Springs, Ohiopyle or Nemacolin. This place is what all coffee shops and cafés should strive to be. The owners are super friendly and very welcoming. The employees are all very polite, excellent baristas and great cooks. The interior is amazing and the exterior is all well. The food section is just right and so good and healthy and the drinks are delicious. This is one of the best cafes in the USA in my opinion and I have been to some of the top ranked ones all across the country. Thank you for always making my experience amazing. read more

We stumbled across this adorable lunch spot on our way to check out Ohio Pyles. With a little search, we saw there were some rave reviews to back up it's charm. After a light breakfast and workout, it was time for a substantial lunch and we found that here at Bittersweet cafe. They were masked up and asked that folks not pile into the storefront while waiting for their order to be taken. The food came out fresh and delicious! My husband's sandwich was crispy and flavorful along with a side of pesto pasta salad. Lemonade with refreshing! My salad was filling and very seasonally appropriate with juicy strawberry slices, meaty pecans and fresh greens with grilled chicken. We will be back! read more
