Best bacon egg and cheese sandwich in Pittsburgh!Fast friendly service. Ryan the owner was super friendly. Love to support other small business and this guy / business/ is worth supporting.

I love brunch. My daughter loves brunch. This place -- we loved. The food is interesting, thoughtful, and delicious. This is definitely not a place where you would go if youre looking for table service -- its very casual, you line up to order, and the food is delivered to your table....wherever it may be. We sat outside, and shared a picnic table with another group, but its all good. I thought it was one of the most imaginative brunch menus Ive seen in years.

Finally made it out to their Friday Fish Fry and was BLOWN AWAY. House made ciabatta bread, perfectly fried and seasoned fish on the perfect bed of greens. Looking forward to trying their brunch.

Without a doubt this is by far one of the top restaurants that I have eaten at. Its not fancy, but it has a lot of charm and very very good food. Its very small and has the most attractive staff working there. They use the best available ingredients and even grow a lot of what they use. They have berm around for about 18 mounts. Whenever Im in town I make sure to always eat here.

The best vege/ vegan burger I’ve ever had! Went in the Friday evening for fish fry but they just had the vegan burger and I’m not disappointed. This is not the usual burger with an impossible patty, but very flavorful fried veggies with a bomb sauce. Felt like $13 is too much for a burger but it was filling and for that flavor definitely a reasonable price.It’s a cute little place with outdoor dining. Very friendly staff.

Bitter Ends have good breakfast and lunch food. I always order here. The food is always fresh. The tea is great.

Bitter Ends is arguably one of the best spots on the face of this green earth. The food is incredible, the donuts are sublime, the coffee is great, the people are the friendliest youll ever find. There is so much good concentrated in that tiny little shop. I will go out of my way to visit here when Im in Pittsburgh. Keep up the fabulous work you beautiful people.

Im not the kind of person who will go out in the morning unless I have a commitment like work or whatever otherwise Im staying in. Bitter Ends is the one exception where I will actually go out for breakfast, because that is how good the food is.

Best food in the burgh. I live for all of this

This is such a cute place to eat! I really enjoyed my food. The only thing is this place is very small inside and with how popular it is, it can be hard to find a place to sit! I think that they should try to expand the place. The food is fresh ingredients and you can tell everything is very clean.

My first time there and I will definitely be back. The menu is huge, the service is great and the food is excellent. Their donuts are amazing! The value is tremendous because the portions are huge. The staff is great. I couldnt believe how great the restaurant is, I expected a long wait and there was no wait.

Don’t eat the food to go. Wet mess.

BREADNow that I have your attention, this place is wonderful. I love breakfast sandwiches, and this place is particularly top notch. The sausage patty is generously sized, and not too chewy. The bread is fresh (they are baking fresh loaves 6 feet away), a little sour for flavor, and not sliced too thickly. To top off the sandwich, the mesclun greens add a wonderful freshness to the sandwich. And of course the eggs are cooked to order. I’d prefer a slice of sharp cheddar too.While pricey and small, the food lives up and I’d love to return.

I would have never stopped in here, if a friend hadnt invited me. I usually skip on these sort of hipster spots, but boy would I have missed out. I ended up ordering the breakfast salad, it is a bit small, but every single bite it delightful. If you are just looking for a breakfast or light lunch, this is a delicious spot to grab your coffee and a must have meal. I will be back.

We sat outside in the sunshine with our dogs. The waitress brought us fresh water for the dogs. Our food came out fast and warm on adorably mismatched plates. The sandwich was delicious, full mostly of pickled cabbage family vegetables, hummus and a runny egg on crispy thick toast. The potatoes were deliciously fried with onions and garlic.

This is my familys absolute favorite spot to eat in all of Pittsburgh! I cannot say enough good things about what Becca has done with this concept both pre and post pandemic. We have eaten here, averaging at least once a week, for almost two years now and I can truly say that every single item weve gotten here has been incredible. Highest quality ingredients, prepared straightforwardly and combined creatively.The staff have always been awesome and the service great. Any weekend without a Bitter Ends breakfast sandwich (and donuts of course) is a sad sad thing for us.

Great food, wonderful atmosphere. Definitely stop in and check them out, you wont be disappointed!

This is an absolute hidden gem! Stopped for lunch on a Wednesday, tried a veggie sandwich, a breakfast salad, black bean soup and honey and goat cheese toast, every single one of them were so delicious and well made with tons of attention to detail. The servers/ chefs are fantastic, can’t wait to come back!

Went here for lunch. Not bad for fast quick on the go at Bitter Ends.

Great food with a very casual vibe. Primarily vegetarian.

Great forward thinking diner. Lots of healthy options and some really unique takes on classic dishes. A great addition to Bloomfield.

Not too pricey for a super creative modern breakfast in quaint atmosphere

Always excited to come here. The food is simple enough to be ready soon after ordering, but yet with complex flavors and first-rate ingredients, so that even a sandwich becomes an adventure!! My gorgeous wife and I frequent and enjoy the best restaurants in Pittsburgh, and when we travel (see all my other brilliant reviews). Bitter Ends is one of our favorite destinations.

Farm to table...doesnt get any better than this . Great smashed potatoes and chicken soup that evokes grandmother nurture- magic. Wow...feel the love, eat here

Stopped in for breakfast and was not disappointed. I got their take on a sausage egg and cheese sandwich, which was so wildly different than others I had, its hard to compare to others. Fresh greens and the toasted sourdough made it unique and delicious. The space is small, but packed with charm and character to make a fun ambiance. If no seats are available, they do takeout as well. Will be back.

Great eating at The Bitter Ends! Such fabulous fresh tasting food! Love the presentation and the farm to table concept. Everything brought out was delicious! Beautiful Fall day so we ate outside. We would definitely come again! Everyone there was so friendly. Kudos to the chief.

Holy cow, what good food. All farm fresh and homemade. My kind of place.Id never had a breakfast salad before, but I loved it. Came away feeling healthy and happy. Staff were friendly and helpful.I will definitely be back.

The most amazing breakfast spot in Pittsburgh. This is not Pamela’s and that’s a good thing. Go here for the tastiest griddled sandwiches and baked goods and friendliest service. Pick an eclectic mug and get some coffee and stay a while. There is always a line but it’s worth it.

Going to Bitter Ends is such a treat, especially on a weekday when it is quiet. You can sip your coffee and smell the bread bake and watch the food get made.Everything there tastes delicious but I would recommend the breakfast salad. It’s filling and tastes so good. You can finish your meal off with a donut, if the salad isn’t enough. Can’t wait to go back.

The food here is delicious. The people here are really nice and themselves.I had a traditional eggs and potatoes and was happily eating away while my friend had a zucchini sandwich. Im no big fan of zucchini so I stuck to what I knew. But hot dang was the few bites of that sandwich delicious. I have thirsted for it since and need to make my way back to what Id consider the best brunch place in pgh.The ambiance here is also nice with tables outside and in. And the people working here are refreshingly weird in a way so fitting to Pittsburgh. All the staff was friendly and nice. This place was only a good experience.

Epitome of fresh ingredients prepared simply and competently to let the ingredients shine. This place lives up to the hype.I ordered the breakfast sandwich, chicken soup, and a cup of tea. The pea shoot greens are fresh, and the sunny eggs just delicious. The little bit of grated sharp cheddar added nice dimension to the flavor. I found the bread crust a little chewy, personally, so it was nice to be able to dip it in soup.My husbands french toast was pretty good as well, but its definitely not a traditional french toast. It is made with the same sourdough bread and is more buttery.

Went for brunch on a Sunday. My wife and I got two breakfast sandwiches. Food was spectacular and highly recommend trying it.On the other hand, there are two things that we really hated. First, the setup for coffee is just ridiculous. Its all you can drink but you have to go up to the counter each time to get a refill, and if there is a line of people either getting coffee or ordering food you have to wait and it greatly slows everything down. It would be so much easier to just put the coffee carafes in a place that is accessible to refill your mug yourself. Second, the motif of Bitter Ends is hipster hole in the wall diner. One (My opinion) I am over the whole Hipster thing and two, (Also, just my opinion) it just doesnt seem natural. It looks like a hole in the wall, but a very carefully crafted hole in the wall to achieve the right image, which I hated.

One of my all-time favorite places to eat! Before covid19 would eat in, but not very comfy with someone who has to use a cane. But the food is fantastic!

What a nice place. The staff is very kind and their food is very good and high quality. Their bread is phenomenal as well as their salads and soups. Definitely a good place for a quick lunch!

I stumbled across this place during some research on donuts in Pittsburgh, and man am I glad I ate here. The place is tiny but I managed to snag a seat by myself at the counter. I started off with an incredible pumpkin parsley donut that was spongy and rich with flavor. The egg and cheese sandwich on toast with greens was salty and eggy and crunchy; one of the best breakfast sandwiches I have ever had. Lots of vegetarian brunch options here. Whatever the donut of the day is, be sure to get it.

I have been a fan of Beccas food for a long time but this is my single favorite place in Pittsburgh now. The fact that they have a farm and really are sustainable while making amazingly tasty food is all you can ask for. The potatos and french toast just make for such a warm and cozy meal not matter when you go. People will complain about price but the quality you get is completely justified for what you get.

Food is delicious, service is great. On the pricey side.

If you are vegans or vegetarians, this place is for you. There arent many meats options on the menu. The price is a little high but it is reasonable from using homemade and fresh ingredients. I ordered veggies hoagies which was amazing. There are tons of vegetables inside and the sauce went well with the hummus.

Super cute! Was the old sandwich shop. Great addition to a great neighborhood. Accommodating and friendly. Great small business, & local. Seating is limited, food was delicious.

Griddle cakes to die for, plentiful onions, excellent hoagies... the list goes on! One of the best breakfast experiences I’ve ever had.

Simple, fresh, and good. Their menu is small, as is their space, but its adorable and thoughtfully chosen. I was impressed by the variations thry invented on the same core ingredients--an excellent strategy for a small kitchen using fresh items. We had a butternut squash, crouton, and egg salad; a butternut squash grilled cheese, and a grilled ham sandwich with red sauerkraut, as well as eggplant-walnut spread on toast. Surprisingly, I liked the ham sandwich best; the sauerkraut added a really nice note. You get to pick your own mug when you order coffee or tea, and there are cute little chicken baskets and statues everywhere.

Bitter Ends Garden COULD HAVE BEEN a great first time experience but honestly, the counter girl who is the front of house staff has a very hairy chin. Although I love supporting local businesses, I could not stop thinking about her chin hair getting into my food. You should really think about having someone else represent the face of the restaurant.

Had the tots, sandwich and donut. All pretty tasty, great balance of flavors.

Yes you should eat here. Yes they have amazing reviews. Yes their food is actually amazing. You wont regret it. This is what every neighborhood needs.

Small menu. A nice hip place. Flavorful food. Good veggie options. Especially nice to sit out on a nice day and enjoy the food

Amazing! Best food in town. I would eat anything on their menu, especially the donuts. I would do anything for those donuts!

A nice cool place. Flavorful food. Especially nice to sit out on a nice day and enjoy the food. Good veggie options.

Great food

Ive eaten here three times, and Im in love. Its where I take all my out of town friends for a cozy unique weekend breakfast and coffee. I have never enjoyed chicken salad, but their chicken salad sandwich is extraordinary-it is the stuff sandwich dreams are made of. Dispite the limited seating, there always seems to be an open seat by the time your food is ready. Excellent food, atmosphere, and service!

Pittsburgh vibes through and through. No frills. Great music, food, people.

Best breakfast sandwich in the East End (LOVE the sweet potato, goat cheese) + you cant beat the awesome staff!

Should be Bitter Ends Bakery as thats the focal point of their food. Great bread. Good coffee. Almost nowhere to sit - just a couple 4-tops and a few diner seats. Waiting in line is part of the experience.

Unbelievably simple and perfect. Wonderful space l, people and food.

What can I say? The freshest, most unique lunch spot in Pittsburgh. Get there early if you want a seat for lunch, and definitely get a donut.

Incredibly friendly staff and great farm-to-table food. If I’m passing through town again this will be my stop! Sarah rocks, this may be the friendliest cafe I’ve ever been to.

Super small but food was near perfect. definitely worth a stop for the squash, goat cheese, and egg sandwich. all homegrown greens to boot.

Really enjoyed the tasty simple meal. A big change from the greasy spoon diner that used to be there.

Wonderful breakfast!

This is, by far, the best breakfast/lunch spot in Pittsburgh. The city is lucky to have the brilliant, James Beard semifinalist Becca Hagarty and her industrious and innovative team slinging the freshest eats in town.

Get the soups, griddle cake, but really you cant go wrong here, everything is delicious. And the coffee is damn fine.

The food and service are both fantastic here. Could not be happier.

I ate one thing here. A donut. It was incredible. If I could give them 10 stars, I would. Its got me jonesing for another, which is terrible because this place is on my walk in to work and Im going to drop hundreds at this place on these light, fluffy donuts.

Very cute, super eccentric eatery! Ive never been to anything like it. The food was great-just make sure to get there early before they run out of things!

The Breakfast Salad was delicious and I absolutely loved that you picked your own coffee mug. It really has a very homey kind of vibe to it and the staff was extremely friendly.

I ate at Bitter Ends Garden & Luncheonette this morning. It was one of my best food experiences in 2017. This place goes right to the top of my list of recommendations.

LOVE this place. Its almost disgustingly hipster but their food is amazing and the people are great. So far Ive tried a scone (so good not sweet at all) and the goat cheese peach toast which Ive been craving ever since. Cant wait to go back!Update: I’ve been back a bunch of times. Absolutely my favorite place to eat in Pittsburgh. Great soups, sandwiches, and salads. DONT leave unless you grab a griddle cake or birthday cake. They make this cake with a brownie base and potato chips on top. Top 3 cakes i’ve ever had ever. And I’ve had a lot of cakes.

I have eaten here 1 time. but the breakfast sandwich I had is still haunting my dreams and stomach. I must have another. seriously,freakin delicious.

So fresh! Loved their homemade bread. Ill be back!

Every time I eat here it is the best version that I could hope for of whatever I order. So great.

Truly my favorite restaurant in pittsburgh. this place is the bomb. cool people, farm fresh ingredients, rockin playlists, eclectic decor and a whole lot of spirit and love. place is pretty small so seating is tight sometimes but the vibes are always warm

The beignets and donuts are absolutely amazing. Slightly crispy and hard on the outside light and airy on the inside.

Pardon my French but the beet and pea donuts are hecking good 😙👌

Your friendly folks with responsibly sourced food that tastes delicious. Big fan.

I cant get enough of this place. The food is so damn tasty, the coffee is top notch and the service is great

You can taste the love in the food. Go here, you won’t regret it.

Great cozy place. Ingredients from local farms. Super tasty food.

Delish....veggie vegan sandwich is unbelievable

Eat the Bread and have some coffee/tea. It’s good

Not enough good things can be said about this place and all the great folk who help run it

Great folks and great food. Really like what they did with such a limited space

Amazing coffee, atmosphere, sandwiches, and a special shout-out to their ludicrously delicious donuts

A quirky place with a fabulous vibe. They use quality ingredients and the food is delicious.

If you dont eat here, youre only hurting yourself

Amazing breads, freshest veggies and eggs, creative pastries, cant lose at this adorable, homey spot.

Amazing food, service and atmosphere

I love everything Becca makes. Homey, unpretentious, great handmade, local food.

Food so good, and fresh. A small little dinet with limited seating, friendly staff, and endless coffee.

That was really tasty especially the goat cheese and honey toast

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. PERIOD.

Delicious toasts!!!! Reasonably priced too

Loved the brunch here! Amazing experience!

Deliciously prepared fresh food all from a local farm

Just had the breakfast salad for lunch. Fantastic! It was kind of small but that works for me.

Easily top 5 places to eat in Pittsburgh.

Charming local diner with unique and surprising specials.

Good place if you are about healthy food.

A+++, chicken noodle soup, egg Sammy, donuts, cake were all on point. Great addition to B’field

Literally the perfect breakfast sandwich.

If i could give them 10
