You go to Square Cafe more for friendliness, cleanliness and consistency than remarkable food. The owners and staff are lovely. With just a little effort, the food could be really good, too -- they seem to use great ingredients and have good culinary intentions -- but somehow it always just comes in at average or slightly above average. They need to hire a seasoning consultant or something. And for such a popular breakfast place, there's absolutely no excuse for their poor quality home fries (but that's a problem all over Pittsburgh). Still, the energetic, friendly attitude and warm neighborhood feel make up for a lot, and Square Cafe is defnitely worth a visit for that alone.
Pros: Ambience, Availability of Vegetarian Options, Value
Cons: Food is good quality but sometimes bland
