Pigeon Bagels, worth the hype? Worth the wait? Yep & yep…read more Did you know they've been nationally recognized by Food & Wine as well as Bon Appetit? Pretty amazing considering they've only had their brick and mortar since 2019. Who remembers getting their amazing bagels at the Bloomfield Saturday Market before the brick & mortar opened? ME!

I have spent enough time in NYC to really know bagels and Pigeon has been at the top of that game from the start. Proper bagels...boiled & hand-rolled!

I particularly love how the bagels aren't too big and they have a good cream cheese ratio. I got a marble bagel with fig and honey schmear which was delicious.

So when I say Burgh's Bagels has the BEST bagels in Pittsburgh... trust me, that says a lot. I tried the Mother Clucker chicken sandwich and honestly? Best chicken sandwich I've had in Pittsburgh so far. Perfectly crispy, flavorful, and stacked just right. I also got the onion bagel with regular cream cheese and the jalapeño bagel with jalapeño cream cheese. And listen... I'm picky. I need more cream cheese than bagel They DELIVERED. Loaded perfectly, fresh, soft, and packed with flavor. What really made the experience stand out though was the people. The staff was super friendly and welcoming from the second we walked in, and the owner was incredibly easy to communicate with and genuinely appreciative of every customer. You can tell there's a lot of pride behind this place. This spot officially earned the NYC approval stamp from me.

My bagel had a nicely toasted exterior with a generous everything seasoning and plenty of cream cheese, capers, and lox. The bowl was a colorful, hearty combination of eggs, greens, avocado, and potatoes, with the crispy potatoes being an especially big hit with my friends. The slick, modern atmosphere inside flows naturally from the design of the surrounding Arsenal development, and the friendly staff had our order ready promptly. No complaints about this solid Lawrenceville brunch option.

The different types of bagels are good, Jalepeno cheddar could have a little more Jalepeno in it, but solid. The real highlight was the sausage egg and cheese, the sausage being freshly pressed and made in house really made it standout, definitely recommend! Overall, it's a real good spot for a bagel sandwich, plus they got coffee and some other treats that people were raving about, def will try next time!

Instead of the usual heavy, dense frosting, it had a soft yet still wonderfully creamy without being too heavy. I later learned they use a mousse-style icing which complemented the moist chocolate cake and the thin outer layers of chocolate beautifully. The flavor was also rich without being too sweet. Altogether, it was exceptional: balanced, flavorful, and clearly made with care. If you get the chance, their chocolate cake is absolutely worth trying.
