I went to Square Cafe for lunch and had a great experience. I tried a few of their March specials and really enjoyed everything. The food was delicious, and the service was friendly and welcoming. Definitely recommend stopping in!

It is always cold so take a warmer sweater/jacket. This is however the second time I ordered the cinnamon rolls that didn’t come before my meal like requested. I did enjoy my breakfast of lemon berry, ricotta, pancakes, and the chicken sausage. Their coffee is really good as well. They’re a latte is very strong. Overall great food. They did waive the fee for the rolls since they didn’t come out in time.

We ordered buttermilk pancake and corn beef Benedict, they are both very very delicious! Pancakes are huge ($4.5 per piece is not very expensive for the size).
I love the unlimited cold brew – most place doesn’t do it anymore.
The menu design is very good, it is very easy to understand and make decisions despite they have many items available. They have a bunch of vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free stuff.
The service is very fast and friendly. We will come back.

Ive been here before and it was great! This review reflects my most recent visit.
The good:
The matcha lavender Latte and blueberry pancake were great
The bad:
The square breakfast is a miss, and should be taken off the menu. For a restaurant like this, there needs to be more value than what you are given. I received what seemed to be half an egg, some very dry potato cubes and plain sourdough bread with no jam on the table. The sausage links were fine, but overall this meal just does not belong on the menu, especially at the price point (around $15).
Please fix!

Always delicious, seasonal specialties that are worth trying but hard to commit to when I have so many established favorites that never disappoint! Highly recommend the white bean hash (current special menu item) delicious and perfect for this cold weather. Their lattes are wonderful but opted for their London Fog (Earl grey) and it was perfection! Staff are always wonderful and attentive, so cannot recommend more. Also pictured my usual fav, short rib eggs Benedict!

I had a great time at the Square Cafe!! My best friend and I stopped by for a quick coffee. It is more of a sit-down establishment but they still had a bar that we were sat at immediately for some drinks. The menu is amazing with so many different options that are creative to satisfy all taste pallets especially those who like complex and fun flavors. We ordered the pistachio mocha latte and the turtle latte which the waiter was so so so nice to split two larges in four cups so my friend and I could share equally. This service was AMAZING! We love both drinks and had so much fun trying new flavors and comparing them. We wish we could’ve stayed to try the juices, smoothies, and food but that just means we have to come back! The decorations we also so cool with bright colors and designs. LQBTQ+ friendly

I originally left them a great review for the first time we went and the pictures in this review are from them. However our most recent visit changed my opinion a bit.
I got the veggie omelette which came out to be a soggy mess. Because they’re so behind in the kitchen they didn’t actually cook the vegetables down enough which in turn left all their water in my omelette. The omelette itself and the home fries were very under seasoned, honestly probably not at all.
My wife got the Florentine Benedict. The Benedict itself was really good which is ironic considering that’s the most difficult one to cook I feel like. The salad it came with was old and wilted, the dressing was overpowering to the point where she couldn’t even eat it.
Service was okay our server was busy but I also couldn’t get a hold of him for a while. It also took quite a while to get our food and drinks. Coffee as well was very mediocre.
I’d love to give them another try because I was so wowed the first time, really hoping it was just a one off day. But just know you’ll be waiting for quite a bit to sit down and I think they’re still understaffed.

Great breakfast spot near the Shadyside area! The menu is quite vast but it seems like they have their style nailed down pretty well. It’s popular for a reason. I got to try out their lemon blueberry pancake, home fried, and bacon and egg breakfast sandwich.
The lemon blueberry pancake was huge. Not a ton of lemon flavor to it, thoughm but a good amount of blueberries. It’s fluffy and well made. The syrup it came with was kind of caramel iced at the bottom, with some hard pieces present. Pretty decent overall, especially for the price.
The sandwich was delicious. I loved the biscuit: bit of herbs, well seasoned, and well cooked. Just really good, even though it was starting to fall apart a bit. The eggs and cheese were great, and the bacon was perfectly crisp.
The home fries were nice as well. Nice portion size and crispy on the outside while soft in the middle. Would recommend. All in all, a very nice spot.

Square Cafe nails that perfect mix of cozy and lively. The space feels bright and welcoming, and the service is quick without rushing you out. Food came out hot, fresh, and clearly made with care.
Everything we ordered tasted great and felt thoughtful from the presentation to the balance of flavors. It’s the kind of place where you can linger over brunch without feeling like you’re in the way. A solid spot for a casual meal that still feels like a treat.

I love the vibe of this place. They offer a great variety of both savory and sweet dishes! I got the breakfast burrito, and it was filling and delicious. My husband ordered a single buttermilk pancake, a Nutella crepe, and we shared some fries. The pancake was fluffy and delicious. The fries were perfectly crunchy. We were a bit disappointed with the Nutella crepe, though, the crepe tasted bland.
We also grabbed the French toast latte to go. It was a bit too sweet for me (I’m not much of a sweet tooth), but my husband really enjoyed it. I’d definitely go back again, great service and friendly staff too!
