This is cash only place!
The Sunday brunch was great, it was our first time and saw a line waiting to get inside before 11:00am. So plan ahead, if you arrive later you may have to wait for sometime.
Food and the ambience is amazing, so many antique things to buy and look.
It’s an amazing family owned store and the servers are so amazing and polite. Since it was our first time, they helped us in understanding the brunch.
Indoor Sitting is plenty but communal.
The selection of one entrée is upto you, and you can get everything from the buffet.
The cake selection is huge, loved the coconut-cardamom flavour and their pesto sauce in the buffet was amazing. Amazing Bundt cakes!
Again, it’s a cash only place. Please carry your cash.
12$ for the Sunday brunch per person.
They also have washroom, which was clean and tidy.
A must visit place in the South side!
Would be back, again!

Really great food, all vegetarian options it seemed like and a very funky interior. Great prices and would definitely recommend to anyone to try! The bundt cakes were delicious and really enjoyed the pasta salad.

I live 2 hours away or I would be here every week! First time there I had the lasagna, which was great and my second time I had the AMAZING hot roast beef sandwich, absolutely exceeded my expectations!! The portion sizes are generous, food is spectacular and the owner is always so kind and friendly. This place is a gem and I couldn’t reccomend it more!!

The food and service here are both great! Portion sizes are generous and the prices are extremely fair. The atmosphere is EXACTLY like the pictures so if you are not into a vintage atmosphere you may want to reconsider. BUT…if you like to patron small, local shops, relish in vintage, and don’t mind the OLD stuff being everywhere then do not pass this place up. Go!!!! We will definitely be back!
The menu changes weekly so you don’t know what they are serving until you get there (I think you can look on the internet but I’m not sure if they keep it current) but they had several options. My husband and I had grape leaves for an appetizer and we both opted for tofu lasagna and could only eat half of it! Also ordered a piece of cake to-go…it was super moist and delicious.
Thank you Zenith for a pleasurable lunch while we visited Pittsburgh from Ohio.

It feels wrong how little customers there are when I visit. The dining experience is wonderful and they do an amazing job curating a weekly vegetarian menu with both vegan and gluten-free options. The antique shop is also very eclectic with lots of clothing. This really deserves so much more attention.

Quaint and hearty vegan gem.
Full of charming antiques for sale and flavorful homestyle meals!
Sunday brunch + buffet was only $12, and we were greeted by kind staff 🙂
Buffets are all entirely vegan, with an entree included
Try to get there early on Sunday to get first pick of the wide bundt cake selection!

MMMMMM absolutely delicious!!! The scallion peanut noodles and the vegan cake especially were INCREDIBLE! The atmosphere is so neat, the portraits decorating the walls are very eye-catching and there’s lots of interesting antiques. Love it! Street parking was pretty easy too!

So far my best vegan experience in Pittsburgh!! Everything was full of flavor and very fairly priced!! I’m blown away!! Small menu, taste is prioritized over presentation but I’d prefer my food to taste better than it looks rater than looking fantastic and tasting bland. If you’re in the area a enjoy yummy food in a funky environment don’t miss out

On a scale of documentaries to romances, The Zenith is Alice in Wonderland. With an eclectic and thoughtfully laid-out collection of items sprawling from floor to high ceilings, The Zenith welcomes guests into an alternate reality.
Walk deeper into The Zenith, and you’ll arrive to the restaurant portion of the shop where they offer a weekly menu of Vegan and Vegetarian options. My partner and I ordered the Peanut Noodle Salad, Wedding Soup, Red Bean Tacos, and the Ratatouille. Every bite offered an explosion of flavor, and we were well pleased.
Service was wonderful, but it’s good to note that this is a more homey, mom-and-pop style restaurant. It’s comfortable and intimate all at once.
Pro Tip: Walk all the way into the back because they usually seat the far dining room before the mid-dining room.

Unique place for a brunch buffet. You order an item off the menu (pic attached) and the buffet has salads, pastas, fruits, noodles and pastas. The off buffet item was by itself so filling and the items on the buffet would make your tummy REALLY FULL. Eight different cake varieties for dessert and they were all yummy. Except for the scrambled eggs everything else is vegetarian/vegan. Its actually cheaper for the food varities it offer. Place is beautifully creepy in my opinion. Must dine/experience if you are in Pittsburgh. Oh and one more thing. They charge 3.5% surcharge on cards so dont forget to take cash.
