    Margaux is always one of my favorite spots in Pittsburgh for coffee and a little brunch. I love the vibe in there, staff are always so genuine and sweet, and service is incredible and quick. I always go for the Chicken Salad toast but my friend and i came and also tried the Sweet Potato hash toast and that was one of the most amazing things i've ever had!!

    I am here for more hours than I am at my home some days. This place has a great ambiance and is perfect for every vibe: hanging out with friends, getting work done, informal meeting, date, etc.... There are very few places you can get a beer and finish up some work and this is one of them. They also have great cocktails, coffee, and food. I mean what more could you ask for. I got the croque monsieur (8.9/10) last time which was very filling and good but the lemon vinaigrette on the side salad lowkey had me feeling some type of way....I couldn't stop thinking about it afterwards. It was so yummy, both fresh and tart. Anyways, tldr I love this place. It's everything you could ask for in a cafe/bar/third space.

    Beautiful bright and open coffee shop. It's great for meeting w friends, working or having a bite to eat. The space is very big and lovely. Staff was responsive and friendly. I got a good cup of tea and breakfast and breakfast sandwich. Food was great - high quality and delicious. My tea and sandwich were $17 w tax. Tip extra. I needed a place to work and really appreciated how much room there was and the plugs. It was busy but I still found space. I'd come back to work and snack again.

    Okay I need to come on and post an updated review since I came for brunch today. It was AMAZING. I ordered the avocado toast and jasmine tea. The brunch toast was a decent size and it was so good! My friend ordered the chicken salad toast and also loved it. There was a decent crowd but we were able to find a table without a wait. Also love that street parking is free on Sundays. Im 100% coming back for another brunch!

    A group of five of us stopped by yesterday at noon. It was a little tough to find a place for all of us but it worked out in the end. Pretty much every seat was taken but it never felt overly crowded since the space is so big. We all got coffee and a couple of people got food. We spent a little over two hours there planning a trip and it was the perfect spot to do it. They have free WiFi so it's also a good place to work from home.

    Okay, Margaux is a vibe! I met a friend here for breakfast. You go up to the counter to order and they will bring your food/drinks to you once ready. Seating I also self served. I ordered a chai latte and the Morning Salad, which has greens, fennel, tomato, cucumber, hard boiled egg, goat cheese, and lemon vinaigrette. My food and drink were not only beautiful, but also delicious! All of the staff we encountered were also very nice. During the day, this would be a great place to work at. That same evening I was driving by and noticed how Margaux looked after dark. The low lighting is moody and it just looked like a place to enjoy a cocktail at and just vibe. I will definitely be back in the evening to to check it out. Overall, it's a cute space with delicious offerings!

    Right around the corner from the hotel, this was the perfect place to walk for breakfast. I had an iced chai and the avocado toast on sourdough, yum! Service was fast & friendly, love the layout and decor of the space. It's spacious and room, sleek and comfortable. Can't wait to go back and try something else.

    Avocado toast

    I have nothing but good things to say about Margaux! I stopped in for brunch and we split the avocado toast on sourdough along with the waffles with strawberries. I've had this avocado toast many times before and I have to say it may be my favorite I've ever tasted! It's always so fresh and flavorful. They never skimp on the avocado or the toppings and the sourdough is such a delight. The waffles were a wonderful sweet treat, I was obsessed with the whipped cream. Phenomenal food aside, the atmosphere and service is simply outstanding here. I've also visited in the evening for cocktails which was equally as magnificent an experience. Highly recommend visiting Margaux day or night, you can't go wrong!

    My favorite part about Margaux is the space. I love how versatile it is, as it serves half as a bar half as a cafe. I come here a lot to study with friends, especially because it's open a lot later than most cafes are. The space is spacious and comfortable, with lots of natural lighting making it one of my favorite spots on a nice sunny day. The drinks and food are slightly overpriced and none of them really stand out. I think the food is slightly better. Their kitchen menu is the best of their food, with my favorite being the chorizo croquettes. They are pretty small croquettes though. Sometimes the drinks, especially the matcha, feels a bit watered down. They have pretty good happy hour deals though, and I would recommend that over the cafe menu.

    What a CUTE PLACE. Food was amazing. Service was efficient and kind. Ambiance was perfect. My friends and I went here to exchange holiday gifts and it was a great vibe especially with the casual seats such as couches and coffee tables. Will be back!

    Margaux in East Liberty is a truly great European inspired cafe!!! By day, it's the perfect spot to sip on a specialty coffee while lounging on cozy couches--by night, the space transforms into a sophisticated cocktail bar! Offering small plates, light bites, coffees, cocktails & desserts. I recently stopped by to try their seasonal café menu and was impressed. The root beer espresso float was so good--made with house-made sassafras root beer and oat milk cold foam infused with coffee and caraway. It was simple, caffeinated, and tasted just like a classic root beer float with a grown-up twist. I loved it! The sage latte was whimsical and floral but not overly earthy . I also had a croissant, which was flaky, light, and absolutely delightful. I can't wait to go back and experience the nighttime vibe at Margaux. If the cocktails are anything like the coffee, it's going to be a standout spot.

    beautiful ambiance! very nicely decorated interior with big beautiful windows which let in a lot of natural life. the staff were all very nice and helpful! the food was pretty good, probably on the pricier side, but that's pretty standard for cafe breakfasts:

    This is a review from an individual who grew up in the Bay Area, California, eating nothing but…read moresome of the best Mexican food. Both of my grandmothers were your typical Hispanic women who made the best Mexican food I had growing up. Living in Pittsburgh, most Mexican restaurants I have visited usually miss the mark and I typically never return. Not with Buenatarde! I usually avoid eating at Mexican restaurants in Pittsburgh, as I'm always disappointed with the quality of the food. Most restaurants seem to use premade ingredients, which is insane cause Mexican food cooked fresh is usually not that hard or expensive. Not with buenatarde, everything we ordered was made in house. The refried beans and rice tasted almost as good as my grandmothers use to cook. Not quite, but close! The carnitas tasted really good, the only issue we had was it was a tad dry. Not sure if it was overcooked, but it did taste good. Otherwise, everything else was great and we will be returning to try the brunch on a weekend.

    The restaurant was decorated fabulous! The staff was nice and friendly. Our waitresses wasn't sure…read moreof some of the questions we had but no big deal. The refried beans with cheese, queso on top of the chimichanga, and plantains were amazing! Unfortunately, the carnitas were dry and bland as you can see pictured. The tortilla could have been cooked longer as well. The chorizo was surprisingly spicy and good. The prices seem high but you get a decent amount of meat. We'd go back again and try the brunch menu or another protein.

    This is your typical Pittsburgh neighborhood bar. From the exterior, it definitely looks like it…read morewas once a home and when you walk inside, you definitely get the same type of feeling. Now it's important to know that this is a smoking bar. While there is ventilation and it's quite good if I say so myself, when you have multiple people smoking cigarettes as well as cigars, you're bound to smell like smoke when you walk out. With that being said it is tiny. There are a few booth areas and a few tables but most of the seating is primarily at the bar. They Have multiple different beers and ciders on tap. I was very very happy to see that they had bold rock cider available. They also have a full bar so you can craft whatever cocktail you may want. Prices are super reasonable as well

    I'm unsure why low reviewers complain about the smoke- this is a cigar bar. If you go to a cigar…read morebar, then expect smoke. It was exactly what my friends were looking for after dinner down the street. The cigars, drinks, were well-priced (although it is cash-only). The laid back vibe and tucked in booths were appreciated because we were in our own little world talking away. I don't have much to say about the bartenders because I didn't really interact with them. I think the only recommendation I have is to put the cigars in a humidor rather than a plastic bin. That was a bit off-putting.
