So happy to finally try this place! It’s a cute find in the union trust building for brunch with great service. Make a reservation via Yelp to make sure you get a table. It sounded like the wait was about an hour without a reservation. We were seated within 5 minutes of our reservation. The lounge area was cute to wait in and there was eclectic charm everywhere - even the bathroom.The food was delicious and a good price. The plates were also a decent size to share. We did a toast option as an appetizer and each shared a plate. We will certainly be back to try out more of the menu!As a side it was Halloween and they offered candy after the meal and the staff was dressed up and super friendly.
We came here on a whim and I’m so glad we did! The atmosphere is cool and clean. The waitstaff is very friendly, and they were even nice enough to recommend other restaurants in the area if people didn’t want to wait for a table. They kept the restaurant, tables, and bathrooms spotless. I was dining in with three others, we all shared a great experience. All of our plates were empty and we were satisfied. I wish we had this back home in Cleveland. I would love to be a regular at a place like this! Maybe we’ll have to come back next week.
I’ve been coming here regularly since they open and I’ve been happy to see how they’ve grown! I’ve ordered a few different things and everything has been great. I think my favorite is the breakfast sandwich, though! I come somewhat regularly for a matcha latte because their team does such a great job with them - not gritty like some places, really well done. Great staff, great place! Can’t recommend them enough.
Stopped here when visiting Pittsburgh for the weekend and this brunch spot did not disappoint! Loved the coffee, food, and drinks. The service was amazing and the wait time was really short for not having a reservation. I also love how they let you substitute any meat on the menu with avocado! If you’re looking for a brunch spot in Pittsburgh I highly recommend trying this place!
Ok, when I visited this restaurant I said to myself why I didn’t know about it earlier! Such a good place. I had breakfast with my wife, the food was fantastic and I’m definitely going back. I had Hens Hash and I loved it. Highly recommend for couples and friends, located in a historical building in downtown PGH.
This place has a great atmosphere and an awesome brunch selection. The bartender made my Bloody Mary pretty strong, and I kept thinking about my chicken sandwich for the rest of the day. Expect a bit of a wait after you order your food because the chef is definitely taking their time to bring you the best experience they can offer.
Great brunch! High energy staff that takes care of the customer. Awesome Bloody Marys and fantastic locally sourced food.
Fantastic place to chill and have Brunch on a Sunday! Note, make a reservation on Yelp if you know you are definitely committed to a time.I went knowing it was whatever time I was getting up 😴😪!Home fries are a must and coffee, both inebriated and non, were excellent!Looking forward to going back and trying more!!!
My husband & I made brunch reservations for our sixteenth wedding anniversary this weekend (10-08 to 10-10) we arrived about 8 minutes late & they told us they too were running behind & we couldnt be seated for an additional twenty minutes.They suggested we get a cup of c☕ffee from theirc☕ffee bar, my husband went to get he & i some. He came back 10 minutes later to inform me that after being ignored for about 9 minutes by the barista, she spoke to him very rudely as she tersely explained to him that drip c☕ffee is only refillable while dining, & that it wouldnt be transferable after being seated for brunch.At which time we decided it was promptly time to make an exit stage left... While the pandemic has hit everyone hard, us too, the complete lack of customer service let alone civility is entirely unacceptable...
Incredible prices and great food. Great service to top it all off. I’ll be back on my next Pittsburgh trip. The building this restaurant is in is worth the trip alone. You won’t be disappointed with the classic architecture and recent renovations!
Sunday brunch in the lobby of the elegant Union Trust Building in downtown Pittsburgh is a memorable experience. Before your first pre-brunch Bloody Mary arrives look up at the architecture that climbs for stories above you. Drink it in. Then hit that bloody because its one of the best in town.While I enjoyed my bloody, my brunch partner sipped an Alexander Rampilton: Dont Throw Away Your Shot - get this one quick before ramp season is gone and so are the pickled ramps.On to the food. Beautiful twin poached eggs perched on serrano ham on top of excellent housemade gluten free toast (normally on toasted English muffins) with an outstanding hollandaise sauce was my choice. Perfection. My companion dug into a satisfying bowl of Hens Hash. The hash consisted of a melange of potatoes, mushrooms, tomato, snow peas, jalapeno and red onion which was at once hearty and fresh, bright, and zippy. Crowned with two eggs with bacon and marble rye on the side, it was a substantial breakfast!If youre visiting Pittsburgh, or if you live here, dont miss this gem of a breakfast and lunch spot! (And the views all around are the icing on this lovely cake.)
Great staff, great food, really pretty place, too. I had the incredible eggs Benedict-- one of the best Ive had. Perfect hollandaise (not crazy thick like mayo, and not breaking, either), perfect poached eggs (whites fully cooked, yolks runny), plus serrano ham which is more flavorful than the classic Canadian bacon. We shared a baby pancake order of the poppyseed pancakes which was super cute and delicious. And my guest had the French toast with the truly wonderful strawberry cardamom jam. I will be back.
I dined here with a friend the other day and we marveled at the quality of the food and excellent service. I had the lox and bagels with a grapefruit and a cappuccino; my friend enjoyed the shrimp salad on a beautiful brioche bun. The details were impeccable, the coffee was perfect. This restaurant is special enough to be anywhere, how lucky for us its in the Union Trust building. I cant wait to visit again.
I made a reservation on Yelp, but it didnt go through. Fortunately the host was able to fit us at an open table. Our waitress was so sweet! I hate that I forgot her name, but she was the female with the purple hair. She answered questions about the menu and gave her honest opinion.I ordered the kombucha mimosa. It was surprisingly good--so good that I ordered 2! I got the Henny hash with avocado as well as a short stack of lemon poppy seed pancake. Im ashamed to say I ate ALL my food🤤. I havent had a brunch that great in year! Im not usually a big eater but I couldnt decide, if I could go back, I would do it all the same again.The restaurant is in the hallway of the Union Trust Building. The space is colorful and the staff are extremely friendly. I like that a lot of the food was local farm to table. I would HIGHLY recommend this spot for breakfast or brunch!!!
You can get better tasting food at Denny’s. It is not worth the price or the wait. It’s nice but not tasty. Personally, I would recommend somewhere else. The staff is super nice and totally saved this place from scoring less.
Today was our first time eating here and definitely won’t be our last. Highly recommend this spot for a delicious and comfortable brunch!
I had a pretty unpleasant experience at this place that was mostly centered around the unbelievably uncomfortable seats they used. I genuinely cannot comprehend the poor decision making skills that went into choosing these hard metal stools with no backs. The worst part is that we made a reservation and they still chose to put us at the worst seats in the house (most tables did not have such awful seating).The food itself was totally acceptable diner food. The eggs came out hot, the toast was warm and crispy and the bacon had an interesting herby flavor that I enjoyed. I was disappointed that the only potato option they offered included onions, which I do not eat. My meal definitely could have used some potatoes to mix up the flavor palette.Overall I think someone could definitely have a good meal here, but it was not for me and I dont think Ill be back.
New restaurant located in Union Trust building. Has full bar as well as limited indoor seating and takeout. Coffee compliments of Commonplace coffee. Great breakfast and lunch selections. Catering also available. Homemade daily soup is tomato which is so good!Had turkey sandwich on heartland grain bread. Delicious! Also had a holistic juice which was very good! Excellent customer service. Open on Saturdays as well as weekdays. Hoping to expand to Sunday in near future for brunch. Great place to enjoy a good meal a descent price. WiFi available as well.
Had brunch while exploring the city and it was one of my favorite spots I visited during the trip. The strawberry cardamom jam on the french toast was so surprisingly good it had me thinking about it all day.
Solid 3 stars (or dollars). Been here a few times and the service is great, food is good but there is a disconnect with price. Long story-short, expect to pay 40-50% more relative to what you get. For instance, you want a fried chicken biscuit, that’s $13. But the biscuit is super dry and the chicken over cooked with little flavor, at best worth $9. You want a local cider? That’ll be $8 and you’ll get 6 oz in a nice wine glass. Great place to go if you’re staying in a nearby hotel, but no need to make the trek downtown if you live locally.
The Speckled Egg is one of my favorite spots not only in Pittsburgh, but really anywhere!The ingredients are always high quality resulting in fantastic meals. The dishes are traditional enough to create a lot of nostalgia, but chef focused bringing out the best of each meal.I love the fried chicken biscuit and the French toast. The service is always top notch and a fantastic spot for a weekend brunch.
Been here twice so far and its been an excellent experience every time. Great food, creative and tasty cocktails, gorgeous location. Very open and airy and service is great. Looking forward to many more visits!
Loved the food!!!! And its a woman owned business + practices sustainability which was an added bonus. Get the Aloha Pudding and thank me later :). Will definitely be returning!!!
Visited this place in the last month and was surprised about my experience based on all the good reviews. This place has wonderful decor but theres no place to easily book reservations through either a quick link or the website. Walked in and was rudely greeted by Samson (?), when I asked How are you? he replied umm..reservations ? I get it, Im sure you deal with a lot of stuff- but youre in customer service. The conversation then went something like okay great, I can seat you 2 hours from now and condescendingly looked upon my friend and I. There also were plenty of tables open. Went to another breakfast place around the corner and had a way better experience. This seems like a cool place but this was extremely off-putting.
Worst services very discriminative staff.Have our family waiting one hour and after one hour they try to give us bar sitting so they can give table to another couple…. So many tables were free but they kept lying….. folks better watch it out they not friendly at all
First time here so after all the good reviews I decided to walk 10 minutes in the rain because their website said they were doing pickup, then waited in line for 15 minutes to have them tell me theyre not doing carryout. Excellent customer service right there.
Great breakfast and attentive staff. If you want the poppyseed pancakes but have your eye on something else, they can do a smaller portion of the pancakes which I didnt see listed as an option on the menu (but I may have overlooked it). The barista can also make a mean cappuccino (extra dry, for me). The setting inside the Union Trust Building is pretty cool in itself, as well.
Would have given a 5 if only talking about the food. However, waiting close to 1.5 hours to get a table was ridiculous.Beautiful setting.
This was a wonderful restaurant. The staff was so welcoming and thoughtful. During my visit in Pittsburgh, I came here twice because it was so good. Each time, I had a great experience and even better food. The atmosphere was so beautiful as well. Highly recommend.
About breakfast here, I had an omelet, the other people in my group also had dishes with eggs. All were overcooked. The only thing that was tolerable to eat was the bread.By the way, since I cannot reply to the owner, its not a crime to say someone messed up the food.
This was the best brunch I had in Pittsburgh! Definitely check it out!
In town for a wedding and found this gem with some friends. Amazing food and unbelievable coffee that makes you want to take your shoes off while sipping. Cant wait to come back to Pittsburgh to visit as this will be our go to for brunch. Ask for Jesse, great service and recommendations.Photo:Johnny Lopez
Great food, awesome location, extremely helpful and generous staff. Would love to go back!
Great breakfast spot in a really cool building. Feels like something out of Breakfast at Tiffanys. Modern twists on breakfast with a little urban snark and some of the best coffee. The coffee felt like it was from the other side of the pond. (The Atlantic one). I had the Goat cheese omelette and the biscuits and gravy (What I was hungry!) And it was absolutely spot on.
Very nice and unique spot for a delicious food, we had a tasty and flavorful breakfast! Friendly staff clean restaurant .. it was our first time and wont be the last .. highly recommended !!
I have read amazing reviews and unfortunately I didn’t find it to be anymore than mediocre at best. Cute spot, amazing espresso martini but very blah food. I mean confit duck in an omelette, how could you go wrong? Well you could overcook the eggs and put two mushrooms in the entire omelette. And the chicken and biscuit sandwich was extremely dry and flavorless. I’m sad I didn’t have the same experience a lot of others have had.
Loved my latte and eggs Benedict with the house hot sauce.
Lovely little place with excellent and friendly service. Food was phenomenal! Can’t say enough good things.
What nightmare of a place! This place is a disgrace to Pittsburgh, after making a reservation and being 10 min past due to traffic we were then forced to wait 30 min and treated very rude. The building is not posted in regards to there mask policy and you are treated like prisoners as I both have been fully vaccinated and have a medical condition but was forced to wear a mask and become sick to the point I had to leave. The staff shows no regard, are beyond rude I hope this place gets Shut down! Oh the food ha if you enjoy being sick, being treated like trash and sitting in a lobby with a guard like prisoners of war you will love this gem. Other wise I’d strongly advise any and all to stay clear of this place you’ve been warned !
Open and friendly atmosphere located inside the beautiful Union Trust Building. The food and coffee were fresh and hot. The service was super friendly and accommodating. We will be coming back. We highly recommend this place. Very clean!
The best breakfast in downtown Pittsburgh. Great friendly staff. Excellent coffee. Very good food. Don’t miss this place for breakfast.
Wonderful food. Attentive service.
I was surprised at just how good this spot was. Good wait staff too
Great food and cocktails. Try the espresso martini
Fabulous breakfast here. I got the French toast and my friend got the duck omelet. Pleasant staff. Very willing to cater to your every need.
Inventive menu, excellent and friendly service (thanks Jesse!), clean and pleasant atmosphere, and above all, delicious food. We had the the Hen Hash, avocado toast, yogurt and fruit. Even the coffee and latte was excellent (good coffee can be hard to come by). Definitely on our list of regular breakfast places.
Outstanding brunch in a very open, safe atmosphere. Reservations essential on weekends to avoid a wait, as its now very well known as a fantastic spot for breakfast/lunch. I highly recommend the Hen Hash!
Absolutely horrid do your self a favor and stay far away from this terrible restaurant! After making a reservation for 2:00 we were told it would be a 10 min wait when arriving at 2:00, at 2:30 stillWaiting! What’s is the point of making a reservation? After finally being seated and the restaurant closing at 3 15 min from when we were seated, the food was garbage, the fresh juice is a joke. This place needs shut down absolutely terrible save your self!
A friend invited me to brunch for an early birthday celebration and we wanted to try something new so I suggested The Speckled Egg and Im so happy that I did. Jesse our server (love him!!! What a lovely person!) was delightful and very attentive. The coffee was rich and satisfying the way good coffee should be. We both ordered the Hens Hash to our own customization with a side of bacon and we shared the Millennial which was a delicious avocado toast. I am already planning my next visit because I cannot wait to share the wonderful atmosphere, tasty food, and fantastic service with my other friends and my family!
Such a great venue. Fun, casual and super cozy. Food was great, service was quick. Venue was stunning!
Cool place for a hot meal. Check it out. Reasonably priced and awesome atmosphere
We ordered food to go, the goat cheese omelette and poppy seed pancakes. The pancakes are different and tasty. Service was very prompt and nice. I plan to go back for the mimosa
Breakfast Sammy is legit.. def add bacon and avocado. You won’t regret it. If you’re into spice make sure you throw some of the house hot sauce on your thangs. 🔥🔥
Excellent service and staff. The breakfast was very good as well. We just happened upon the place but would definitely go back.
Not a great breakfast selection. Slow service
Went to this restaurant today and wow for the reviews and hype I was shocked how bad this place was! First off the host whom walks around aimlessly with his iPad barks reservation at you before you can even say hello. Once it’s established a reservation was made it seems like reservation to this place and what the term actually means are two very different things. I was not late I was 4 min early and proceeded to wait 32 min after my reservation.my fiancé and I were hungry so we waited after asking the host again barked at reservation, when my fiancé said yes we have been waiting we were told oh just waiting on a table? Hm okay, so after being seated and ordering a drink and waiting an additional 13 min we could wait no more. This place could offer water from the holy grail and I wouldn’t return! The owner should be present and really tighten up the employees that are employees esp the host before he or she ends up with no business.Times have been tough and with the mandates lifting and more and more people going out and spending their hard earned money I think it’s fair to expect good customer service above all else. The speckled egg has the worst service and most rude in helpful customer service that Mc Donald’s seems like fine dinning compared to them. I hope this saves another couple from wasting their time. And if the owner reads this some advice get a better host and remember without customers and great customer service you have nothing regardless of the food.
French toast was wonderful. Nice house made sausage!
The Speckled Egg was a great little surprise. It was located inside one of my fave downtown architecture buildings, the Union Trust building. So thats always a great treat. The menu was disposable or digital, so that gives you peace of mind if youre nervous about germ spread. And the menu was so good! There are classic breakfast items, or more upscale brunch type items. The Eggs Benedict was delish, and a decent size. I was also tempted to try the Lox n Loaded bagel dish, but opted for the servers recommendation instead. I stand behind my choice! The atmosphere was pretty cool. With a name like Speckled Egg i expected a more rustic vibe, but its more modern chic, which was a nice surprise! Anyways, Id definitely go back! Great service, great food. Really nice variety without it being overwhelming.
I work in the Union Trust Building and decided to stop here for a quick to-go meal... So glad I did. Best brunch food I have had! Atmosphere is awesome and service is impeccable. The Classic Breakfast combo (2 eggs, home fries and toast) Delicious, and the perfect amount! Coffee is also good (and it actually tastes like coffee). So glad theres finally a place right where I work to get good food and what I like. Will be returning to try more menu items! :)
It’s one of those places that just try too hard. Don’t mess with classics. Tell me why the biscuits and gravy were sweet? The michelada was disgusting. The hash brown is mixed with random vegetables, it’s not just hash. The fresh juices are bottled. Service was ok at best, friendly tho. Would not recommend.
Waitress had an attitude when taking my order. I ordered the classic which consists of two eggs, bacon and toast. Took them nearly 25 minutes to bring it out to me. Food was tasty however.
The waitstaff is amazing and super helpful. Some of the best Ive ever dealt with. The food is delicious!!! The fried chicken biscuit is my favorite, followed by the patty melt. There hasnt been a dish I havent liked yet.
Amazing place! Great food, coffee, cocktails and staff. Been looking for a good cafe in pittsburgh and now Ive found it.
The Speckled Egg is located inside the Union Trust Building. First of all, this is and Old School business building that is absolutely BEAUTIFUL on the inside. A huge stained glass Medallion in the center lobby high above in a round gkkey. T is stunning. Very ornate architecture and it is a marvel to see. The service was great. Our server was Ray, she was a doll!!! It has a very dynamic Breakfast, Brunch Drink menu. My crab hash was sensational!!!! The poppyseed pancake were great as well and the thick sliced bacon was a treat. My dinner partners said the french Toast was most definitely delicious and worthy of a visit back. This restaurant was a gem of a find and I am excited to have a go to Brunch location to now frequent and bring my guest that visit from outside of The Burgh!!! Well done guys!!!
Awesome wait staff! Food is good.
1st time, quick breakfast with a friend, will be back 🙂
Great brunch and cocktails!
Great food and service inside one of the most beautiful buildings in the City
10/10 brunch!! Only had the weekend in PGH and we’re so happy we found this place. Food was delicious (we had the eggs benedict and patty melt), coffee tasted like real coffee, and service was excellent (thanks kayley! Everyone else was incredibly nice as well!) pleaseee head on over here if you’re looking for your next brunch spot
Food was delicious, service was great, establishment was clean
Great food and drinks and awesome setting for kids
Atmosphere beautiful. Drinks delicious and creative. Food was very good. Lots of options if you’re a picky eater, vegan/vegetarian, or gluten free! Service was incredible, in spite of how busy it was!
Came here with a group of 5 for breakfast and they said they don’t accommodate groups of 5. Asked to split up the group and they don’t do that either.
Been here a couple times now and on each occasion the food and service was excellent.
Very cool atmosphere and great food.
Meter parking outside of building and around the corner. Food was delicious, we ordered the hens hash, pancakes, the goat omelette, the Irish coffee, cappuccino. Great customer service. Check our the building too, great architecture.
Amazing food and coffee! New favorite brunch spot in Pittsburgh for sure.
A good breakfast always starts the day out nicely. The Speckled Egg does not disappoint.
Loved the atmosphere and the food was wonderful.
Support this new restaurant! The food was wonderful, the service was too. Jessie, our server, was so friendly. The location was a great idea! We will be back.
Went here with my family on a Sunday morning, and it was a delight. Even though the restaurant had opened a mere week before, the restaurant was great. Our server, James, was incredibly caring kind and accommodating to our table, and was such a genuine guy. The owner later came up to introduce herself and had a nice conversation with us.A great restaurant owned by great people with great food, too. (I highly recommend getting the Americana sandwich)
We had a great experience, everyone was friendly. We had the brown butter French toast and the chicken biscuit, both delicious. We cant wait to come back and try more of the menu
Unique menu and always delicious
Wonderful service and great food. The eggs were perfectly cooked. Definitely coming back!
