I've had this place on my radar for some time! I stopped in and purchased the "Elk county" hoagie, potato salad and a bowl of soup. (The hoagie and potato salad were for later!). The soup was so warm and delicious! Enjoyed the friendly ambiance as well as the soup! The hoagie and potato salad were devoured the next day! As they say...."I'll be back" read more

If you go on a Saturday morning while at the Bloomfield market, this place might look a little crazy! They serve soup (obviously), salads and sandwiches. People seem to go a little crazy for the sandwiches but alas I can't have them since I'm gluten free. They are very good about labeling their offerings so it's easy to figure out what's gluten free, vegan and vegetarian. I got the bean and chorizo soup and took some split pea soup to freeze (it's my favorite soup). The soup came out pipping hot that I had to wait a while before eating it. However it was good, not too spicy. My friend had a the girlfriend sandwich and it looked super yummy. They have limited seating so you might have to get it to go! They have some cute antiques in there, definitely a retro vibe. read more

I'm not even kidding, this is the best sandwich I've ever had in my entire life. From the bread to the combination of flavors between, it was incredible. The space is small but homey and the food is obviously homemade. There's also plenty of soups, sides and sandwiches in the to-go cooler. I will tell everyone I can to give this place a visit and will be back whenever I can. read more

Love coming to Brothmonger, because they change up their menu so often that it keeps everything exciting. Most recently they have a roast beef sandwich (roast beefy weefs) on their menu and it is AMAZING. It is stuffed with rare roast beef, has horseradish, onion and cheese on rye. It's honestly probably the best sandwich I've ever tried and I will be coming back for this. I hope they don't get rid of it!! read more

1/21/2026 SOOOOOUP. This is such a fun concept for a restaurant. I got the following: Boyfriend sandwich: 8.9/10 ($13) Potato and leek soup: 9.1/10 ($7 for a pint) The boyfriend sandwich was visually stunning and the taste did not disappoint. The pistachio pesto was very unique and tasted bright, fresh and nutty. The ricotta was creamy and fresh and the focaccia was herby and crunchy and airy.....I honestly regret not just getting a piece of it on its own. The potato and leek soup was so comforting and rich but not overly heavy. I am in love with this place. I want more soup now. read more

Went to Brothmonger recently for some soup and a sandwich on a cold cloudy day. This place gets a lot of foot traffic from the hospital and surrounding areas. My wife and I split a cup of the Minestrone and the Italian Wedding hoagie. The soup was decent at best, tons of vegetables packed into a cup, my one complaint was it wasn't piping hot like I enjoy my soup to be. The hoagie is served kind of cold, good flavor true to Italian wedding and no shortage of meat and toppings, the provolone and braised greens stood out on it. Little disturbing the amount of flies going around with no lids on the cans. It's counter service with a couple small tables inside, it's soup and speciality sandwiches with a passionate chef make this place worth trying out! read more

I got focaccia and butternut squash soup (4.25/5), which were pretty good, even though I'm not a huge soup fan. The soup had a great flavor, and the spongy texture of the focaccia helped soak it all right up! The service is pretty quick (4/5), and the interior of the restaurant is nice (4/5) but quite small, so be prepared to wait a bit or go somewhere else to sit and eat. read more

I got the boyfriend sandwich (pesto on focaccia bread) which was highly recommended to me by friends and pretty good, I will say my sandwich was much smaller than the buffalo chicken wrap for what was comparable pricing. The Mac and cheese was tasty- There was only one left in the fridge, they said another batch would be ready in a few hours, so we grabbed the last one and they microwaved it so we could eat it in the restaurant. read more

Run, skip, hop to Brothmonger, as soon as you can! Delicious homemade soups and stellar sandwiches! Everyone rightly raves about "the Boyfriend" -- a luscious combo of mortadella, ricotta and pistachio pesto on freshly baked focaccia. I hope this concoction will always be on the menu! But if they run out, I'd be happy to try other options. This is for now a small and sweet place with a limited menu but wow, it packs a punch! I wouldn't be surprised if it outgrows its current small shop. A perfect addition to Bloomfield's Liberty Ave. read more

This is more of a takeout place, very few seats, some without tables. Staff didn't seem very pleasant or happy to be there, definitely killed the vibe. Ended up going to a hotdog place on the next block and the chili for their hotdogs is prepared by Brothmonger and it was delicious. Will definitely come back if I'm looking for takeout. read more

I tried this place on 6/6 after seeing it posted all over IG. I went for the Italian Wedding Soup sandwich. It was everything I imagined and more! I got there at 11 and was maybe the 5th person in line. It's a small, cute place, but got packed and cramped very quickly. I didn't wait very long for my food. The sandwich was piping hot! My only negative was that my soup cup was leaking and spilled entirely into my bag. Other than that, I enjoyed the sandwich in my car. I will definitely be returning for more! I highly recommend this place! read more

This little shop is a total gem. They serve hot, fresh soup daily (clearly labeled vegan, vegetarian, GF, nut free), plus the best sea salt + herb focaccia I've ever had. You can also grab pints to go, and their chalkboard menu features rotating soups, sandwiches, salads, pastas -- and the most amazing pizza on their focaccia. Just ask for no parmesan to make it vegan! The space is small and cozy with a cute table inside, and they post their weekly soup schedule on their website and Instagram. Can't recommend it enough -- comforting, flavorful, and thoughtfully made. read more

Tiny soup & sandwich spot in Bloomfield with daily and weekly soup offerings and a couple staple sandwiches. I ordered a pint of the red pepper bisque, a slice of tomato pie, and a cucumber salad. Everything is super fresh and 100% made with love. The dining area is very small and intimately cozy, like you're at your best friend's house. I ordered my food to-go, and it came out quickly. The cucumbers had a Korean-inspired dressing on them and were very crunchy. The soup had so much depth and creaminess - it tasted like there was cream in it, but it was vegan! The tomato pie is insane. It's crispy, greasy with the olive oil drizzle, salty, tangy, and just overall amazing. I'd come for that alone, it was so good!! 100/10 experience. read more

The leak and potato soup is not a common soup to find and this place knocked it out of the park. I was in the neighborhood and soup always catches my attention. I bought a pint and enjoyed it later for dinner and voilà! It was wonderful. Perfect blend of cream, potato broth, and spices, including a lot of thyme. I'm excited to go back and get some more. My only disappointment is to learn about the inspection. Standard not met: Cleaning and Sanitization. I hope not to see that next time I'm doing my review. read more

Brothmonger has been on my list of new hot spots to check out for a while, so when I was running errands in Lawrenceville I needed to stop in. From the second I walked in, the vibes were excellent. The spot is fairly unassuming yet cozy. Very few tables for sitting down, but customers are willing to share their space with you. I ended up ordering the Hungarian mushroom soup and a slice of the tomato pie. Both were absolutely delicious. The soup was creamy and earthy, but not overpowering on the latter. The tomato pie was so flavorful and tasted extremely fresh. Hands down the best tomato pie slice I've had in the Burgh. Service was friendly and fast. I highly recommend this spot to soup lovers out there. I know I'll be back to try a grab and go quart from their fridge. read more

I had a few of their to-go soups a few months ago, and was blown away by their cold dill/summer vegetables soup so I was interesting in seeing what they churned out in person. I tried their Italian meatball hoagie which tasted exactly like the soup in sandwich form-- their meatballs were very juicy and the hoagie held up really well even when dipped in the side of chicken jus. It was packed even on a late Saturday afternoon-- come early to have the most options because by 2 pm their to go fridge was almost cleared out and they had 1/3 hot soups left. read more

So of course I move away and then decided to write a review. That is only because the last time I was home I swung by for all the goodness that is Brothmonger! I have been a fan and a customer since the beginning, long before the brick & mortar. And, how lucky was I to live just 3 doors down when the shop opened? Little Italy is the perfect location too. I mean I don't think it gets much better than a soup and sandwich combo for lunch. Amiright? In addition, you can buy soup by the quart. A lot of the soups are on rotation and it gives customers an opportunity to try a little bit of everything. Grab and go sandwiches are great when you're in a rush. Only the freshest ingredients with consistent quality. My favorite soup is the chicken tortilla, OMG. read more

9/19/2025 Ate List: Italian Wedding Hoagie - 9.4 If you read the menu Item and salivate- this dish is for you. This dish is so wonderfully executed that it might be an all-time top 10 sandwich for me. Brothmonger knocked it out of the park. Would be a perfect score if it were a touch cheaper. My only knock. Still incredible. read more

Soup soup soup! This is THE stop for fresh made soup in the city. They also offer a small menu of sandwiches that feature fresh ingredients. I haven't had a soup I didn't like! My favorite so far has been the coconut chickpea. I am a sucker for anything that includes ginger in the ingredients. Cute, hipster vibe. Local art features and a handful of tables for dine in. It feels like such a special cozy little spot to enjoy soup on a cold day. Parking is on street. read more

Definitely home of one of the best sandwiches in Pittsburgh along with many delicious sides and soups! Great lunch spot for a quick grab and go or they have a few seats inside too. The cooler is always stocked with lots of chilled to go items and they offer limited hit items as well. Always quick and friendly service! And bonus... every time I've been in, they are playing some cool music! read more

Everyone's go to soup plug for a reason! The soup options are amazing and will warm you up on a cold day or help you kick any illness away. I will be back to try their sandwiches and other menu items. Got to meet the owners daughter who told me a little bit about their backstory and I'm always happy to support small family owned businesses! read more

A real highlight on a recent trip to Pittsburgh. Brothmonger has taken up residence in a small space, with just a few tables and couches and a walk-up counter. If you're meeting a few people for lunch, you're rolling the dice a little -- there's not a lot of space here. But we were all very happy with our soups, and the grilled cheese as well. And I think a lot of the appeal here is getting a soup or two to-go rather than eating it in house. At $14 a quart, the price point is very reasonable. And they're guaranteed to have several warm options as well as some additional choices that are to-go only, as well as potato salad and the like in the refrigerator (unless they've sold out of everything). Something for everyone. For me, the real tip-off that there was talent working in the back was the focaccia, which I meant to eat with my soup but I had devoured it before the soup ever came out. I see a ton of places serving comfort food out there, but too often it's in the form of pizza or burgers. Soup season is every season, especially if the soup is this good. read more

Cannot wait to return to the Burgh to come here! Everything was so fresh, full of flavor. An excellent lunch spot!

I was a huge fan back during the Pandemic and she was an Instagram phenom. You have a choice of dining it with a soup and sandwich or grabbing a quart to go. Everything is delicious and heartwarming. It all tastes homemade, that is of your mom was a magical Brothmonger. The ambiance is casual and a rather Bohemian. There's just 3 tables and a couch. There are a lot of great houseplants. read more

I'm a fan girl, grabbing soup down the street at Gina's or at LID this summer. I'm so happy they have a spot in Bloomfield now. Needing some lunch on Friday, I stopped in Brothmonger to get a chicken noodle soup and grilled cheese. Seeing the fridge, I grabbed a crab bisque for later. The chicken noodle soup is so flavorful. The noddles are big and in perfect condition (not soggy that it can get when cooked in broth). The grilled cheese is so delightful and perfect for a cooler day. The next day I have the crab bisque for lunch. It's delicious. Rich and with good chunks of crab. Best crab bisque I've had! People are friendly and service is efficient. I'll try to actually eat in next time as it's super cozy vibes. read more

Pricey, but delicious. This cute tiny, quaint little lunch spot is ideal for when you need a quick comforting meal. I went here because it's close to my job and I had a COVID booster the day before and was feeling blah. It's a tiny little shop so don't expect a full restaurant experience. The menu is small too, so go for the feel-good soup and maybe a sandwich. It was like I was back home on a chilly afternoon after school and my mom made me a delicious bite before dinner. Those were often the best little meals. I ordered the chicken and greens soup and it was garlicky to perfection. I love garlic and it wasn't overwhelming, perfectly seasoned and made me feel great inside. I also got a sandwich to hold me over until dinner and the turkey was a little salty but still pretty good. A very classic homemade grilled cheese with buttery bread and gooey cheese. Will definitely be back when I need a boost! read more

We were craving soup since it was so cold out and found this spot. On a busy road like a Main Street in a downtown area we aren't familiar with. We found paid parking quickly. It was a busy lunch time since the hospital is right across the street but we found a small table. There are only 3. Limited menu. So, we ordered a minestrone soup and a grinder to share (Italian wedding grinder). There was one other "soup" on the menu, it was chili. Our minestrone soup that we ate immediately, wasn't hot it was only just warm. It was very chunky, very little broth. It was just alright. And the meatballs in the grinder were refrigerator cold. I'm conflicted because the flavor of the grinder was great, identical to Italian wedding soup. But it was hard to bite into such a cold meatball. It's possible that this is just how they serve it. Luckily it came with chicken broth on the side that we dipped into which warmed it up a little bit. Basically flavors good, just items not executed well. Lots of flys inside likely due to no covers on the trash cans inside. read more

The same day I made that the review I checked the Instagram page and they aren't doing the sandwich anymore for a while.

My girlfriend and I just got off the plane from LA, and were down the street in the rainy cold waiting for her hair appointment, and was immediately attracted to the idea of this place after a quick Yelp search. We got The Boyfriend sandwich and the Stuffed Pepper Soup to split. Both were delicious. The sandwich was right up my alley with the fresh focaccia, mortadella, ricotta and kale pistachio pesto, and the hearty soup warmed us right back up. It def took everything in me not to buy a pint of each of their grab and go soups in the fridge. Very cozy interior, not a ton of seating, but the service was fast so traffic is quick. read more

Wedding soup hoagie... an absolute brilliant creation! Praying this one stays on the menu and isn't just a seasonal thing.

I love this concept and a few things on the menu: BUT the wedding soup hoagie was so salty I couldn't even eat it. And I LOVE salt. I got the chicken and gnocchi soup from the cooler. Heated it up today and there were zero gnocchi and maybe two pieces of chicken. The last time I picked up a quart of Pastina it had almost no pasta. The Mac and Cheese is AMAZING. The boyfriend is AMAZING but I've been disappointed in the things that cost a lot that you leave blind on. Only be ordering MTO in the future because buying blind is expensive. read more

OH my goodness! such yum soup seriously the potato leek my super picky husband said it was one of the best potato soups he ever had the focaccia was salty and fresh and so good perfect dunker for the soup had a good old fashioned grilled cheese too took home a chicken noodle flavorful and hearty its a tiny little shop there is some seating friendly service you can have some hot soup or you can take some cold soup home prices are reasonable pay parking on the street read more

Absolutely killer sandwich (The Boyfriend). The focaccia makes it. Great soup (stuffed pepper). Snarky service. :-/ read more

Small shop with a relaxing vibe, soft seating inside, outdoor seating, order at the reg. Fairly limited offering, but quality was top-notch. Tomato Sandwich has a garlicky aioli, assertive (but balanced) saltiness, juicy/ripe tomatoes on fresh focaccia & was just the Summer sandwich I was looking for. Kudos - legit. Tomato Soup was very flavorful with some Romano cheese (I think). Lentil Salad with olives, almonds, kale and feta was really tasty. We appreciated the gf clarity on menu items and the music. The staffer was super sweet and helpful - thank you. Maybe start recycling and composting? Seems a small enough shop to be manageable - only point of constructive criticism. We'd happily come back and wish we lived closer! read more

This spot was awesome!! They are super cute and it's really chill in here. They have a rotating menu of soups that are all homemade from scratch. You can get a side of foccacia or chips and the foccacia really slapped. Definitely recommend this spot for lunch or just a good homey meal. I loved the clam chowder and my friend loved her chicken noodle. It was very dill forward which is lovely. They updated their hours recently too! They have some seating inside which I love. There's some specials too like sandwiches and grilled cheeses. My friend liked her grilled cheese. They also have a fridge you can get pints of soups to go too! read more

I have been to Brothmonger several times since they opened and have always had a delicious meal. Last week I placed a catering order for a small gathering I was having. The staff were so responsive and helpful in building my order with me to make the perfect menu. My guests loved everything, from the ginger chicken rice and coconut chickpea soups to the broccoli salad, fresh focaccia, and smoked gouda mac and cheese (which people were almost fighting over for the right to take some leftovers home). The portions were huge and there was plenty of food for everyone at incredibly good prices. My order was ready on time and they even helped carry it out to my car! 10/10, I recommend this place to everyone I talk to!!! read more

Brothmonger has the best soup in the area, without question. They only have two soups for sale in house at a given time (+several refrigerated options for takeout). The food itself deserves 5 stars, but I wish there was more seating to enjoy it. Great spot overall and definitely worth trying. read more

I had seen Brothmonger on Instagram and it was on my list for a few months. I finally went today and it was nothing short of 5 stars! It is so cute and cozy inside. My friend and I both got the BLT sandwiches. The focaccia is unbelievable! The best I've ever had! My friend tried the chicken & veg soup. The broth was so flavorful. I bought a grab and go quart of the Thai Chicken Meatball soup. It was tasty as well, but the chicken & veg was the favorite! I can't wait to try other soups! read more
