Square Cafe borrows its name from its neighborhood, Regents Square, a posh little shopping district just outside city limits. This adorable breakfast spot takes that name to heart, using the right-angle geometry of the walls, tables and plates to emphasize its, er, squaredom. Square Cafe is bright and vibrant, always packed with thirtysomethings and their young families. (Baby strollers often are parked between the Formica-topped tables.) Serving up delectable breakfasts of buttermilk pancakes and eggs Benedict, as well as weekend dinners of wonton soup, fried zucchini and grilled chicken marinated in rosemary, Square Cafe offers top-notch, if occasionally pricey, dining. The BYOB policy makes for a nice addition to dinner, and the bread pudding, soaked in vanilla sauce and Jack Daniel's, is unparalleled.

The best

We don't live in Pittsburgh, but visit there often and no visit is complete without a trip to the Square Cafe. They have cottage cheese pancakes that I would walk 500 miles for. It's the best.
Add CommentVery Disappointing

We used to stop in on our way to the food co-op every month and the place has gotten worse every time. Long waits when there are empty tables, they are unable to fill menu items at 11 am because they have run out - talk about poor planning! then our food was cold when it arrived after 25 minutes. We had a coupon and gave it to a waiting diner after deciding to never return!
the best don't miss this one!

very family friendly outstanding service with a smile and a very innovative menu. the owner really cares and it shows in every way.
Yummy!
I could dine at the Square Cafe every weekend. It's unique menu, angly ambience, and friendly staff add up to a satisfying mealtime for my and my family.
What ever happened?

I am sorry to say that this place has really gone down hill. There used to be friendly staff, great service, and fairly priced food. Changing the menu and slipping in a price increase with no increase in better service is not something I would recommend. I have been there over 4 times to give it another chance, but that last time was MY LAST TIME.
HORRIBLE SERVICE
I have been here three times and each time I WANTED to like it because it was an attractive, much needed cafe in Regent Square, and it also had tasty food. But all of these qualities did not matter each of the 3 times I left the cafe. The horrible service made everything good about the cafe meaningless. The wait staff were flakey, slow, neglegent, and unapologetic for obvious mistakes. Sure, the food tastes good, but it is certainly not worth such a bad experience.
Excellent

I have been to the Square Cafe three times and all have been great experiences. The food is fabulous and service excellent!
so good

This is easily the best little diner/restaurant you never heard of - really the jewel of the regent square area, with tantalizing breakfasts and hearty lunches that go beyond the standard fare. I love living near this restaurant! I also had a good experience with their catering service when I asked them to cater a department brunch.
