Built omelet, rye toast, pierogi's and banana French toast
Christina D.

There's a few police vehicles outside, but unless you can arrest this place for great taste (in both food and decor) and friendly attentive service, it looks like they're just here to get a good meal like the rest of us. And with portion sizes this big at these prices, I'd be emotionally cuffed to this place too. We took a booth for two, my companion requesting a coffee (that was promptly topped off) and water (with ice and a straw in a mason cup) for myself, we took time looking over the menu, struggling to narrow things down. You have plenty choice of customizations, which I banked on when ordering my 3 egg omelet. I skipped the meat and cheese and went straight for veggie loading. This thing was jacked up with an impressive mount of salty black olives (no additional seasoning needed), caramel tinged onions and large slices of cooked mushroom. It was buttery without being drenched in the flavor, letting the ample egg fill my belly. I couldnt even manage to poke at my 3 extra large pierogies or my double slices of marbled rye with a butter sheen, which made it into a to go box. My companion got the pecan banana French toast. It came with decently sized bacon, in that sweet spot of crispy. The sweet level of the star itself was pleasureful without being cavity inducing. The thick bread wasn't overly eggy, rather buttery, layered with slices of banana between and on top. The caramel sauce had the right viscosity and quantity, holding the nuts. It was topped with whipped cream, a really solid showing. She tapped out about halfway through, also taking a to go box because this place does not play around (yet somehow manages to come off as playful all the same.) The leftovers will carry us the rest of the way on our long journey back home where we will mourn our lack of The Crack'd Egg, who are entirely what they are cracked up to be.

Crack'd Arnold

Looking for Eggs Benedict...? Stopped in for breakfast on Monday, around 11:00. Good music playing, we were seated immediately, and the server came right over with menus. We requested coffee's & ice waters. He gave us a few minutes to review the menu and brought our drinks. Kim ordered the Cracked Arnold ($9.99) and I ordered the Loaded Crack'd Fries ($6.99). The food came out nice & quick and was DELICIOUS! We would each order the same thing again... but their menu has lots more to offer.

Spiced Pumpkin Coffee
Cayla S.

I'm always looking for a fresh breakfast/brunch spot especially in Pittsburgh. While bottomless mimosas are really my thing, places like this still get the job done even when I can't live my limitless mimosa dream. The area where Crack'd Egg is located is super cute and quaint. The street in Brentwood has a small town, old-fashioned vibe with hints of modern culture with the GameStop across the street. We went on a Sunday late morning, and the wait time was approximately 20 minutes for two. There was a bit of line. When you walk in, the space is much larger than it appears from the outside. We were seated just under 20 minutes in the middle of the dining room. The noise level is quite moderate. Be careful of the floor, I almost slipped twice wearing my booties. The decor and atmosphere carries a comfy and homey vibe which is refreshing especially on a Sunday morning. I ordered the Spiced Pumpkin Coffee off their seasonal menu; the homemade cream was excellent! I savored it for the entirety of my meal. The menu is unique with the names of meals. For example, I ordered the Olive Oyl which is simply a tomato, spinach, mozzarella and olive omelette. It was good and made traditionally. My partner ordered the Steak and Eggs which he admitted needed A1 sauce. He still enjoyed it even though the flavor was slightly lacking. Overall, we found the food delicious even if needed a little more flavor. The staff was busy but very hospitable and helpful. The space and location are charming. Give this place a try for breakfast one morning; I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Having the Crackin' with Pierogies!
Patty P.

What an incredible meal. The server was amazing she recommended the Crackin' which gave us the opportunity to try their yummy pancakes and the delicious bacon, corn beef, and kielbasa. It was worth the travel from Beaver, PA there for brunch!

Great little place with indoor and sidewalk cafe dining. Unusual selection to chose from including ghost pepper omelets. Dog friendly (at least outside dining). Great tasting food at reasonable prices

I forgot to take a photo of the menu which I usually always do. :( Anyway, my son always wanted to try it here and we have lived literally a block down the road for almost 7 years yet this was our first visit this past Saturday morning. The only other time we have been here was when Mrs. Claus comes to the restaurant for the Brentwood Christmas festivities. The service here is just great - very attentive and friendly. I don't have a thing bad to say - we didn't have to ask for anything, he brought us everything we needed. I just wish we came sooner. The breakfast that my son got was the funfetti pancakes with sausage patties ($3.99). I had the 2 egg combo with sausage patties, fried potatoes, and toast ($6.99). My son had a large glass of orange juice which was pretty big compared to other diners - I was surprised. The coffee was delicious as I tend to judge breakfast places based on their coffee and breakfast meats. The meals were made just right (and came out at the appropriate time maybe only 15 minutes after we ordered) with the perfect portions that leave you satisfied and not overstuffed. The inside of the restaurant gives off a comfortable feel as if you are in your own dining room. There are a few tables to sit outside (and even water dishes for dogs!) - really cute home-y decor. I like the small tabletop trash cans for little trash items from sugar, milk, jelly etc - makes for a smooth cleanup for the staff. All of their prices were very reasonable. We often frequent First Watch but this restaurant is probably the nicest little diner in our community and I look forward to many more visits as I prefer to support locally. We really enjoyed our breakfast and even my 7 year old said - "this place is really cool."

This is what I receive after posting an honest review. Lol.

Now based on honest reviews am being harassed and threatened. The hypocrisy is laughable based on the reviews of the other user, and the lack of spine by commenting to me then blocking each time after. To be fair, I gave the restaurant a 3 star review as to not let this user affect it even more negatively.

the outside of the restaurant

If you're in the area, it's worth checking out. The decor is a mismatch of items. I feel like it's a personal and family type place. There is definitely some political statements on the shirts and merch which could be off putting to anyone on the opposite side of the view. I had a breakfast burrito. It was hot and big. I would prefer home made salsa rather than the store bought pre optioned pack. But not deducting points for that. I was full when I left and not unsatisfied

This was my first time here for breakfast. The food was fresh, the menu names creative and the server very personable! I knew it would be a good experience when our server just gave us four quarters for the parking meter and told us about the street behind the restaurant to park next time. The coffee was hot and not your typical water downed breakfast java. It was bold and delicious. They offer three different kinds of potatoes; cheesy, home fries and crispy potato pancakes. We had the latter two and they were both full of flavor. The toast options were more extensive than most as well. An added bonus included in the jelly selection orange marmalade and apple butter... again outside of the norm. I had the chicken and the egg. Two homemade chicken tenders smothered in a very yummy homemade gravy, two eggs (mine over medium for a little dippy action), home fries and two thick pieces of marble rye toast. My daughter had the Eastwood which was a stuffed omelet with all kinds of goodness. My only lack of five stars was the price. For two of us with tip $30 for breakfast. A bit steep. But you pay for the ambience and the quality food. Don't worry. I will be back! Well done!!! UPDATE I was here again a few times. Since my first visit I have eliminated carbs for the most part, in my life. I wanted an omelette but I did not care for the toast and potatoes (so many choices)! I asked to substitute a small side salad for the potatoes and toast.....they said yes for no extra charge!!! They have come through again. So if you are a KETO eater .... give em a try.

Capri Benedict & home fries
DJ J.

Stopped in for a quick B-fast to meet a friend who really liked the Crack'd Egg. Liked the service and friendliness of the staff. The menu has some creative takes on some old standbys. My Capri Benedict is two eggs on two thick sliced tomatoes with some Motz cheese, Hollandaise, and Balsamic Reduction and some great home fries. Really a nice B-fast.

I visited Coffee Etc. recently for an afternoon pick-me-up. Since this shop is close to my house,…read moreand everything they have is so good, it is one that I find myself coming back to time after time. Coffee Etc. is a locally-owned coffee shop located in the heart of Castle Shannon. It is near well-known places such as Ice Castle and just down the hill from Myrtle Elementary. They serve traditional and artisan coffees and teas, along with an extensive menu of breakfast and lunch items. There is always a selection of desserts and pastries on the counter as well. It is right along the T line, so it is easy to get to both by vehicle and public transit. There is not a private parking lot, but there are spaces along the street out front, as well as ample Street parking options around and behind the building. I have never had to park too far away when making a stop here, often securing a space right in front. The shop has both indoor and outdoor seating options. There are two-person and four-person tables that surround the front entrance. Inside, there are low-top tables, high-top tables and couches to choose from. On the weekends, it can be packed in here in terms of seating. I usually am able to find a table, but just be aware in case you are coming during a peak time! Overall, the vibe is a comfy and cozy cafe. It is warm, inviting, and makes you want to hang out for awhile. I always love the in-progress puzzle that sits at the counter where drinks are handed out. You can contribute a little bit to the work-in-progress in your idle moments waiting for your order to be ready. It is also fun to see what puzzle will be there the next time you visit. Something cool about this place is their dedication to their faith. They have free Bibles available for visitors, and they host different Bible studies and groups throughout the week. On this day, I visited around 1:45 PM on a Wednesday in September. It was not very busy, but there were other patrons in the shop. I took a moment to look at the monthly specials on the board outside, and made my way in to order a drink. The staff here are always so friendly and kind, and so it is no surprise that I was promptly greeted when entering. I was between a few of the drinks, but I ended up deciding on the Kettle Corn Iced Latte, since that is not a flavor you see everyday for coffees. As it was not busy at this time, I only waited a minute or so from the time I placed my order to when I had the drink in-hand. My drink was very good! I loved the unique flavor of the Kettle Corn, as I had never had that in a coffee before this latte. I truly have never had a bad drink or food item from here, and this visit was no different. They have so many different flavors and sauces to choose from, you will surely find one to your liking. I typically get one of the features/seasonal drinks, but you are able to customize any which way you want. Their breakfast sandwiches are amazing here, so I have to mention them in this review as well. I did not get one on this visit, but they are made-to-order and the quality is top-notch. There are several sandwiches on the menu, but you can also customize your own. I recommend getting the Chipotle Raspberry Jam on whatever sandwich you choose. It is wonderful! Plus, the sandwiches come with a little cookie as a sweet ending to your meal. The pricing here is on-par with what you would expect from a local coffee shop. I am usually spending between $6 and $7, depending on the size. I will typically get a custom sandwich, which starts at $7.50. It is not off-base with what you would expect for a local shop. I do feel the value is there, since everything is so tasty and the staff are so friendly and welcoming. I always love coming to Coffee Etc, and I highly recommend you give it a try if you are in the area or are thinking about stopping. The atmosphere, homemade sandwiches, variety of drinks, and the cozy vibes keep me coming back time and time again. Plus, they are always having new and seasonal drinks to try, so there will always be something different to enjoy.

First visit here as I had some time To burn between…read moreappointments and did not disappoint. Service was excellent and friendly. Coffee choices what you'd expect in a coffee shop but the food was great. I had the breakfast havarti guacamole sandwich and it was delicious. It's busy so be sure you are patient, eating outside, or taking to go. Highly recommend.

Beautiful historical location, prompt and friendly service, broad menu! Really enjoyed by breakfast…read morehere. Their drink menu is impressive and would be a fun happy hour spot. My Root juice drink was tasty; made me feel healthy after a week of dining out indiscriminately. The server recommended the Kazaam (shakshuka) dish, and it was solid! I eat a lot of this and it didn't disappoint! The toast was particularly good. Loved the fried shallots for a little crunch, too, otherwise it's a pretty slop-heavy meal, texture-wise.

The Speckled Egg was the first stop after arriving in Pittsburgh. My husband and I dined inside and…read morewere welcomed by the sweetest waitress. Angela was professional and attentive, she absolutely did an amazing job! Kindness goes a long way and she mastered that! The food was just as delightful. I enjoyed the Turmeric Chicken Salad - the moist chicken, sweet raisins, and strong taste of turmeric were shockingly well balanced in flavor. It was great. The French Toast was another interesting combination. The strawberry jam with syrup made this the perfect sweet treat. Lastly, my husband left no crumbs with his Patty Melt. He ate it just as quickly as it came! While I wish the interior design had been given more thought--such as displaying pictures, murals, and nicely arranged flowers on the tables to enhance the experience--the food more than made up for what the interior lacked. We both had a wonderful experience here and would highly recommend it to others.
