This is such a cute and fun place! It is a bit overpriced (higher prices than many comparable…read morebakeries) but you also have a neat space to enjoy your goodies in and extended hours (some nights they are open until 10) so that outweighs the slightly higher cost. My favorite item I tried was their lemon bar. It had just the right combination of sweet and tart and the crust to filling ratio was also on point. I've also enjoyed their cookies, cinnamon rolls and cupcakes. I really enjoy that you can relax with a glass of wine and a baked good. not a combination that is possible at a lot of places. Service is friendly and accommodating. They answered questions and gave recommendations. This is a great spot for a date night or a girls get togehter.

Examples of menu items are brownies, Cuban coffee cakes, bundt cakes, breads such as pumpkin, cookies such as snickerdoodle and red velvet, cupcakes such as carrot and chocolate, and donuts such as apple cider and orange creamsicle. I was a customer of Mami's Bakes's tent at Pittsburgh's Veg Fest. I bought one Buckeye Brownie for $6. It was moist and had rich flavors of chocolate and peanut butter. I really liked it. I think that even if you have no special dietary needs, you will enjoy this brownie.

The food comes up quick and is served hot! The Ashley's breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel really hit the spot! I love all the local art around the shop and little boutique items that are constantly in rotation. My only complaint about this spot is if you're coming to work the WiFi either 1) never works or can't be found so plan to use a hot spot and 2) they have VERY minimal seating options with an outlet. Like many coffee shops today, they don't encourage "campers" or people who plan to sit for hours for work.

Cut out the middleman. Go straight to the source. Pros:…read moreSure, Mediterra sells their bread by the loading docks of their bakery. Sure, they are located in a business park. But when you can buy bread that literally just came out of the oven, or croissants, pastries, muffins, and scones that were just made an hour ago, you've got to come here. They will even slice your bread if you ask, which is service that goes above and beyond. Cons: You will not be blown away by the ambiance. The bread is sold literally in the entrance way of the business. You may be parking next to an 18-wheelers loading or unloading. But who cares, their bread is awesome! Summary: Mediterra has quickly become my favorite bakery on the west side of Pittsburgh.

Mediterra Bakehouse was founded in 2001, and they bake dozens of artisan breads that they sell to…read moreconsumers and other businesses. Products include deli loaves (e.g., multigrain, challah, pumpernickel, rye, and sourdough), sandwich buns (e.g., white, wheat, pretzel, and potato), table loaves (e.g., ciabatta, Italian, chili cheddar, chocolate cherry, focaccia, and pecan cranberry), dinner rolls (e.g., challah, French, onion poppy, and rosemary), and baguettes (e.g., sourdough, multigrain, and sesame seminola). I saw on their website that they also have a cakehouse that bakes custom cakes with various icings, fillings, and toppings. For my first purchase, I ordered five breads from Mediterra Bakehouse. All of the breads were a very large size and were fresh, and they cost about several dollars each. Here are my reviews for them: Farm deli loaf - 3 stars - The physical shape and design of this bread was gorgeous, but the flavor was a little plain. Challah hamburger buns - 4 stars - These hamburger buns tasted good. They were very large, so I had extra bread around my hamburger patties. Mt. Athos fire bread - 3 stars - This wheat bread was a generous size, but it tasted slightly plain. Hawaiian dinner rolls - 5 stars - These dinner rolls were moist and had a slightly sweet flavor. Parmesan pepper loaf - 2 stars - This bread contained way too much pepper and too little parmesan. It was so peppery that I threw away most of it. UPDATE on December 26, 2021: A few weeks ago, I rated this business as 3 stars, but I am now increasing my rating to 4 stars after I bought three more of Mediterra's breads. Here are my reviews for the breads: Stollen - 5 stars - This bread contained nuts and dried/candied fruits, and it was covered in powdered sugar. My husband and I really enjoyed the taste of this bread. Chocolate cherry - 4 stars - This bread loaf contained cocoa powder, dark chocolate, and dried cherries. I prefer milk over dark chocolate, but I still enjoyed the flavor of this unique bread. Pecan cranberry - 4.5 stars - This wheat bread contained cranberries and pecans. I really liked the combination of flavors.

Everything was different and tempting. It was difficult to choose just one sweet treat so I left with two. I bought a taro cheesecake bread and an egg tart. Both were slightly sweet and fresh.

If you're looking for something a little different, Amy's is a great place to try.

Quality depends somewhat on what you order, but there is some really good stuff here. Of everything I have tried here, the large cinnamon rolls are my favorite. They have the perfect amount of moistness and softness, use a good amount of cinnamon within the roll, and feature an amazing cream cheese frosting that is not overly sweet and does not overpower the comforting cinnamon flavor. The muffins are also high quality and stay moist throughout the week if you get a dozen. I especially like the almond and cherry flavored muffins. My dad says he cannot tell the difference between the muffins at Potomac bakery and the muffins at Giant Eagle, and that may well be true as Giant Eagle has some good stuff though I have never tried both to compare. They are even better freshly toasted with a little Irish butter on top. If you are going to get a doughnut here, the cream filled ones are probably your best bet because they use high quality cream. I would personally skip the scones because the scones can be a bit dry and bland and are probably my least favorite thing I have tried here. In conclusion I recommend the large cinnamon rolls, the muffins, and if you go for a donut you must get a cream filled one.
