As being a breakfast connoisseur, I can sadly say that Pittsburgh wouldn't know a good breakfast if it slapped 'em in the face. However, the Square Cafe seems to be the exception to this. The imaginative menu and good coffee stand in stark opposition to the standard bland, boring, awful breakfasts you'll find in most places. They typically have an interesting take on french toast that cycles in and out seasonally, they make delicious pancakes, their egg dishes are wonderful (bring back the green eggs and ham please) and the bacon. Oh the bacon it is so SO good! Never have I had thicker, meatier, crispier bacon in all my life. I would take a bath in the bacon that they make it is so good. Usually the limp, greasy excuse for bacon you find at most restaurants is enough to make you go vegetarian but not this stuff--this is THE BEST BACON EVER.
Pros: BACON!
Cons: Small dining room and sometimes having to wait in line
