It’s a very nice looking spot, lots of seating outside and inside with a trendy style. Ordering is done at the counter and then your name is called to retrieve the order. Orders offer a default tip of 15% for the service of accepting your order, maybe making your coffee if you ordered that, and calling your name, which in my opinion is a reinforcing a toxic tip culture. Your employees, who are not servers, should be paid properly such that customers aren’t requested to leave server level tips. They were out of chicken curry and the only soup they had for a side bowl was vegetable, which was not flavor packed, but tasted watered down. The Vietnamese coffee also seemed watered down. We ordered bahn mi, which were served with all vegetables pushed to one side meaning bites were 1/3 pure meat, 1/3 mixed properly, and 1/3 vegetable only. This led to a soggy bahn mi as the vegetables did not form a barrier against the sauced meat, an easy fix in preparation, but a miss that significantly lowered the quality of the sandwich. Pho options did not offer a great selection and did not include authentic options. Is a trendy place to grab a coffee, but not a great place to have a Vietnamese lunch.

I tried the chicken bánh mì sandwich here and it was pretty good. Service was friendly and quick. They have plenty of seating options, both outdoor and a spacious indoor area that works well for larger groups too. Parking is available, and the restaurant is attached to the Enson Market, which has reopened. Overall, a nice spot to grab food and hang out!

First visit to Ineffable with a mixed experience. Service was friendly and prompt. The space is warm and inviting. The breakfast sandwich was small but tasty. I did not care for the pho which was overly salty and only had a small amount of fatty chicken leg and thigh. Plan to give them another go.

This place is a hidden gem! The coffee and Thai iced tea were spot on rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a lovely spot to unwind, sip your drink, or get lost in a good book. A peaceful little escape from the everyday hustle.

I’m actually mad at myself for discovering this place so late. I have to say this is probably going to become my number one spot to work from. The reasons are pretty clear.
Space is extremely large, and there are multiple types of seating where you can work solo or with a group. There is free Wi-Fi as well as plug points.
The coffee is delicious and they have Vietnamese coffee, which is one of my favourites.
The banh-mi was delicious and although not entirely traditional, it was extremely tasty.
Everyone was becoming and nice. Will be back again for sure.

Unfortunately, the pho leaves so much to be desired. They only had a chicken or vegan option. The portion was so tiny for $17 with tiny pieces of chicken. There was barely any flavor. There are much better pho places in Pittsburgh. The Vietnamese coffee was good.
The atmosphere was not it. I was planning to do some work and spend a few hours there, however, Mid November they were playing Christmas music all day, it was quite annoying. Also, beware when you checkout, they have the tipping preset to 20%. The customer service was not outstanding, the food was quite expensive and I accidentally hit 20% so I was quite perturbed by this.
Unfortunately, my experience here was less than pleasurable.

Positives: the Thai tea was on point and not overly sweet.
Negatives: food was mediocre at best and portions didn’t make up for it. The banh mi had good flavor but almost nothing in it, definitelynot woth $15. The chicken pho was bland and generally disappointing. While the staff was friendly, we didn’t hear them call or order out and they never tried again.

Finally got to go to this place and it is ADORABLE! There is a wonderful variety of seating, not too loud, and decor is cute. I got the Sunny Banh Mi and it was delicious. Great portion size, great cost, great taste.
