    Very good coffee and expressive-based drinks, hot or cold. Very cute, bohemian decor. Cozy neighborhood coffee house!

    Very cute full-service coffee shop. Excellent customer service. Very large selection of offerings, both food and beverages. At the corner of Virgina and Bigham. You might drive right by it because the outside blends in to its surroundings. That would be a mistake. Stop and give this independent some love!

    Coffee and reading material

    First of all the ambiance the people and young lady that works up front not sure if she is the owner but she obviously cares about her patrons the coffee and service. We came in from out of town for a festival and felt very welcomed . The specialty drinks ( Banana Foster and Creamy Caramel) some of the best coffee drinks I have had in a long time . Too bad I had to go 700 miles to get it lol

    Beautiful place

    A quaint, neighborhood coffee shop. The green tea chiller is absolutely fantastic and the women who work there are great people. When I come back to Pittsburgh, this will definitely be a stop. Thank y'all!

    Sometimes extraordinary service prompts an updated review. I have loved Cafe Cravings over the years, but during the Pandemic, their service and sense of community shines even more. On top of that, the food and drink are the best, they use the freshest ingredients. I tried their Sunday Dinner yesterday, and it was delightful. Make sure you RSVP by 11 am on Saturday so they can plan. Over the years they have been so friendly and welcoming, I hope you get more chances to visit, too.

    Adorable little coffee shop in Mount Washington. We stopped here before heading to brunch because I was craving a crafted coffee. The shop's menu is impressive considering the cozy size. The atmosphere is very beatnik meets eclectic. The brick exterior and tree lines sidewalks reminds you of simpler times in a small town neighborhood. It's so perfect it should be in every town. I ordered a French Vanilla Cappuccino. The pricing was in line with large chains but I am much happier spending it at a shop such as this than any of those establishments. We sat and sipped our coffees and people watched. Seems they have their fair share of regulars. One man came in with his French Bulldog and enjoyed his coffee while studying the morning paper. The dog was well behaved and oh so cute. I was a little surprised he was allowed inside but it certainly didn't bother me. They had many food items that looked and sounded quite good, but we were going to brunch afterwards so we just enjoyed our drinks. My only, and small complaint, would be I wish they had mugs to drink from. The paper cups are great if you're on the go, but to sit and drink there I would have preferred a mug. However, great shop, love supporting local shops such as this.

    Great little coffee shop that serves bagels, breakfast sandwiches and sandwiches or paninis for lunch. The sign posted indicated Boars Heads meats. It was late morning and just stopped in for a tea and bagel. Fresh bagel was great and tea was wonderful on a cold snowy morning.

    Really cool little neighborhood coffee place where you can get breakfast and different types of yummy coffee. Hung out for a little while to warm up and enjoy my chai latte. This place is dog friendly which is a huge plus

    Charming neighborhood gem for breakfast, lunch, or an afternoon drink. If you're a regular, the staff will know your name and order. Come early if you want a baked good, as everything but the croissants and biscotti seems to go quickly on the weekends. Can recommend the paninis as hot and filling (the potato chips that come with them are thicker than most but otherwise unremarkable). Fair prices and friendly staff. Flat entrance if I remember correctly, but the bathroom is not wheelchair accessible.

    Menu and service area.

    Terrific place for morning coffee, cooked breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea! Friendly service and good selection of teas. Espresso and brewed coffee available with a small selection of baked goods (bagels, muffins and such) and cooked foods available from their kitchen for breakfast or lunch- eat in or take out. I always stop to here when I am in town.

    BEST SMASHBURGER IN PITTSBURGH…read more It would be hard to convince me otherwise. As soon as you step into the unassuming, corner burger spot, you feel instantly teleported into a retro spot. The colors, dining furniture, even the menu transports you back in time and feels so cozy. Order at the front with the cashier and drinks are bottled in the cooler next to it.

I even talked to one of them while he was on break for a while. They seem like they really like to be there and enjoy their job. I ordered a cheeseburger with everything minus pickles, chili cheese hotdog with mustard and onions and some french fries and a chocolate shake..... don't judge me lol. It's a smash burger so if you're hungry, maybe get a double the onions that come with it are grilled, which was a nice surprise and the sauce they put on the burger was really good. The hotdog had a nice snap to it which I don't care either way, but I know some people are big on that the chili had no beans which is the only way to have it when it comes to a hotdog or french fries and it's made by the local restaurant up the street brothMonger. Everything is made fresh to order even the fries. And the chocolate milkshake was made with actual chocolate ice cream same with vanilla and strawberry. I'll definitely be back to try the onion rings because they looked delicious and served with ranch from a local spot.

The Speckled Egg provided the upscale and elevated breakfast, that was a nice contrast to the rustic and local breakfast we had the next day. Our waitress was friendly and professional.

He was courteous, well spoken and friendly. We sat there for about 10-12 minutes. No one approached the table. We looked over to what appeared to be a bar area and we saw two servers standing there talking and showing each other their phones. My wife said, "With our luck, one of those two is our server." Sure enough, when they were finally done talking, one came over to our table....no smile and a big audible sigh. She asked what we wanted to drink, we gave our order and she returned with our beverages. After another 10 minute wait she came back to take our order. When asked about a certain dish, came another big sigh, eye roll and and a rote description of said dish. The food arrived and one of the orders was wrong. Another wait to get her attention. We asked for the item to be redone as we had ordered it. And she even asked how we wanted it! You got it...another eye roll and a big sigh. At least she was well oxygenated! The dish came back with the very same results. On that issue we gave up. Then came the wait for the check. Once again the two servers were chatting, no heads turned to check on their tables. My son went over to get the check. When the check arrived, it was attitude city. She accused us of picking on her because she was only a server. It's obviously how she saw herself. We then asked for the manager who was quick to side with the server. She said that nothing seemed to satisfy us and that we had a problem. IN SHARP CONTRAST. I have been to the Speckled Egg on the South Side many times. From the Host/Hostess to the servers to the bus staff, everyone had a smile, chatted with their customers, laughed and it was always a great experience. The manager came over since he recognized me from being there many times and we chatted for a minute. We are talking Night and Day. Completely two different experiences from server to management styles. To me there is only one Speckled Egg and one complete waste of time (Downtown).

She appeared overwhelmed by her role and was not warm. We were actually told by the waiters that "she is serious about her list". Which would be great if she managed it effectively. When I brought concerns that we had been pushed down the list 3 times for other parties. She responded "well, how do you know that" to which I responded "we watched you take their names down after ours and sit them before us". Her response was to shoo me off and tell me to go find a table myself; to which I did. But what a poor way to manage your stress, responsibility, and consumers. On the bright side my waiter/waitress was awesome per usual.
