Saturday Brunch: Square Cafe

Readers, I apologize. I finally tried out the Square Cafe in Regent Square today and utterly forgot to bring my camera. It's a shame, because both the cafe and the food were beautiful. If you haven't been there yet, seriously, check it out. The place just has a good vibe. Bright, clean design, funky and modern but very friendly, neat art on the walls. Cheerful, attentive staff. Amazing menu -- I wanted to try everything on it. (I ended up going for a plain old breakfast sandwich, which was nonetheless remarkable -- egg, bacon, and provolone on ciabatta.) It's not particularly cheap, as breakfast goes, but it's well worth it for a weekend brunch splurge. I never thought anywhere in Pittsburgh could compete with Pamela's for my breakfastly affections -- and it's got the added bonus of being conveniently close to my neighborhood in Swissvale! Then again, they don't have chocolate chip banana crepes... Pamela's? Square Cafe? There is room in my heart for you both.
