Reviews
They have fresh produce and a grab and go for sandwiches, salads, and other things. Place is very clean and well organized.
The café has brunch on Sat and Suns but you can either order to dine or take out. My first favorite was the roasted Brussel Sprouts salad with spinach, arugula and pine nuts. They have baked goods and well as dough covered entrees.
This is a great addition to the Fox Chapel area. Highly recommend if you are looking for quality food in the area.
My friend and I ordered food and beverages, sat down, and began eating. We had been there for less than an hour when, after finishing most of our meals, we took out our laptops to study while my friend was still drinking her iced tea and I was taking a break from my noodles. A staff member approached the table next to us to clean it, then turned to us and, in a noticeably passive-aggressive tone, said, “Girls, there is a line of people who want to sit down to eat, so we’re going to need this table soon.”
I was taken aback. I pointed to my food–which was still in front of me–and my friend’s beverage, and stated that I was still eating. She walked away without further acknowledgment. What made the interaction even more confusing was that a nearby four-top opened up shortly after and remained empty for at least 15-20 minutes, with additional tables becoming available shortly after.
This was especially upsetting because my friend joined me from school for fall break (her first trip to Pittsburgh), and we are both professional graduate level students who were quiet and not disrupting anyone.
There was no signage indicating restrictions on laptop use or time limits for seating.
Right before leaving, I approached the staff member respectfully to explain that I did not appreciate the way we were spoken to and treated. She did apologize, though initially attempted to interrupt and reiterate that “people were waiting.” At that point, I did not find it worthwhile to note the flaw in her justification, since multiple tables opened up and remained empty around us for a significant amount of time. My goal in saying something was to create awareness about how the interaction came across and how it made us feel as customers.
This experience left me feeling unwelcome in a place where I have always previously felt comfortable. Although I’ve had many positive experiences here, this encounter was disappointing enough that I don’t plan to return in the near future.
I come here for the vibes!! Please ensure your staff is kind to its customers.
