Best crepes in town hands down! One of my favorite places to get breakfast because of their AWESOME outdoor seating and cheap delicious food. Highly recommend the smores crepes. All around amazing experience and I will be back. Thanks for the great service.

What a charming place to eat! I came here after seeing pictures of the beautiful umbrellas. It was as beautiful as I had hoped and the food was great! We both ordered gourmet crepes, the Farmer and the Salmon. Both were delicious and I would absolutely order both again.

This place is destination, just so you can sit on their patio deck! 🌈 And not just a nice atmosphere to enjoy, they have amazing breakfast too 😍We had crêpes and omelettes! You can’t go wrong with anything you decide to try there! Seems like a popular place, so I would try to make reservations for when you try to go!Peep 👀 the photos for a peek at their outdoor dining + some tasty food 😋

This restaurant is lovely. Interesting decor/artwork but the food was even better. Id never had savory french toast before and the Spanikopita was delicious. Service was great too.

Cutest spot in Pittsburgh for breakfast/brunch/lunch. Try a delicious sweet or savory crepe in the ecclectic cafe or beautiful patio. They also had delicious looking sandwiches, salads, and pancakes. It was truly one of my favorite hidden gems of the trip.

Delicious food and great service! Enjoyed the Turkey Fig Sandwich

Just went with a friend this morning on a Saturday. I would get there early if you are worried about social distancing. Starts to fill up around 10:30am.So vibrant and eclectically decorated on the inside. Warm, friendly staff, relaxing laid back atmosphere, yummy 🤤 food. The portions are large and reasonably priced. There are vegan options if that’s important. So disappointed with the weather, what a shame, we’ll have to go back again to enjoy more food and hang out under the umbrella’s ☂️.

Excellent…. Feels like a european cafe…. Highly recommend ❤️❤️😋

Saw this place on tik tok and decided to try it out. The food was delicious. Make sure you come with an appetite because you get a lot of food! We got the brunch special and had to get to go boxes because we didnt want to leave our delicious food behind.The staff was friendly and our food came out quickly. The back patio has great esthetics for a social media photoshoot . I would definitely recommend this place

I found this yummy spot on TikTok and it was 100% worth coming. Food was amazing and we loved sitting on the back patio deck. If youre shopping or find yourself in Lawrenceville, you have to come here!

I enjoyed sitting outside (beautiful day and space) and the staff were very welcoming. The protein (meat) omelette was great with toast and a side salad, and the Nutella and banana side crepe was a nice way to finish. Looking forward to visiting again!

Excellent cuisine. Fair prices. Great service. Lovely patio area. Would definitely go back. Several times.

They are always making the best food and their service is great. Everyone working there is very friendly. I highly recommend them!

Ordered breakfast from there and it was very deliciousThey used Gouda cheese in the omelette which was very nice

Good food, bad service. Food was good, not worth the price though. What made the experience unpleasant was the rude waitstaff and long wait times. Waited extremely long for our meals while others who had been seated after us received their food first. Not to mention they charge for the tiny bottles of water they place on the tables before you sit down, instead of offering water glasses and free water like any other restaurant. Much better brunch places in the area to spend your money at.

Honestly not that great. The crepes were more like pancakes than actual crepes. They took an hour and a half just to seat us, which by that point we just ordered takeout. Bear in mind the restaurant was pretty empty, so I’m not sure why it took that long. Wouldn’t recommend going here as there are better options in Pittsburgh

Lovely environment, chill music, friendly staff, and delicious food. The fig marscapone crepe was out of this world and fluffy as a cloud. The iced mocha came with a mini Snickers! Definitely coming back to try everything else.

Tried the Eiffel salad. Not a fan. Looks like taco bell guacamole. If anyone has a lead on good salads around the area please lmk!

Wonderful spot with great food. Try the crepes and enjoy the back patios ambiance.

Adorable atmosphere, delicious, fresh food.

What a great Eatery. Food was amazing. Back deck, tables on sidewalk out front. Inside seating with interesting art. Get in there!

Great atmosphere. Pretty busy on the patio and inside by the time I left. Great food and exceptional service. I got the meditterean omelet, salad w balsamic and wheat toast with an orange juice. I generally dont go for feta as my first choice, but the grilled onions and peppers put the dish over the top. Delicious. After a morning run, I left feeling full but not stuffed, so I was able to make it home. A great start to my Sunday morning. Will definitely be going back.

Wonderful food, wonderful staff, excellent atmosphere.

They have good coffee drinks, I like to pick up lattes there. The crepes are good too. I only dined in once, in the cozy main room, but will have to go back to check out the umbrella porch.

Quant and eclectic with good inside and outside seating. Great for brunch foods. Fun decor. Great walk to spot for breakfast.

Great place! The food was delicious and the server was very nice and friendly.The only thing that was uncomfortable is the weather in the patio. It was supper hot.

Good salad options. Friendly staff. I appreciate them letting me work through some surprise meetings.

Went for brunch on the first good weather day of the year. We could have sat outside, but opted for indoors. We were able to immediately find seating which surprised us. The inside is decorated nicely; without ever visiting it feels familiar. The food was really good as was the coffee. They should be seeing us again in the near future!

Really cool place and fresh ingredients everything awesome unique breakfast experience highly recommended

An amazing cafe to have a delicious breakfast.

We were searching for some healthy food in the area and found this spot! I ordered French toast (regular, as they offer many options of French toast with fruit and other sweet options), over easy eggs and bacon. We also got a plate of fruit which was fresh and delicious! I didn’t really care for the French toast, it seemed as if it was not made fresh but out of a prepackaged box. The eggs and bacon were fine though. Our server was pretty timid and seemed a little frustrated. We had to ask for a refill for water and napkins instead of it just being offered. I can’t say I would return, the umbrellas on the deck was cute but nothing wowed me about the food.

This is the third time Ive been to Caffe Mona -- and its just getting better. The people are friendly and very eager to ensure guests have an enjoyable experience. Evidenced just yesterday (Sunday) morning, walking past the kitchen on the way to the back deck with beautiful umbrellas --all staff, including the chef -- saying, hello and good morning and welcome. On the way to the back deck, the main dining area is very non-commercial and more like a coffee shop.

Friendly service and delicious food!

Went to brunch today at this cafe with a friend and quickly put our name in to be seated at 12:15p. The man at the counter said it would be about a 20 minute wait. My friend and I patiently waited to hear our name called and intentionally sat at a patio table outside the front counter so we could easily here my name. After a little while I hear “Carrie” “Carrie” being called (my name is Cassie). So I make eye contact with the man but see another couple head to the counter and get seated. No other gesture from the man at the counter indicating that he was ready to seat me, so I continue to wait. I look at the time and it’s now 12:50p it’s been way past the 20 minutes so I go to the counter and I don’t see my name written on the list of names. I ask the man politely about not seeing my name on the sheet and wondered when he thought a table would be ready. He replied it’s right here I called your name twice and you made eye contact. I said you were calling out “Carrie” “Carrie” and that’s not my name. Ultimately at this point you should just apologize to the customer about the mistake and not blame them for the issue. Also don’t cross out someone’s name from the list if you haven’t seated them yet.

The food was decent, however the crepes are not the most authentic ones Ive had, it was a little too thick and doughy. Service was okay, outdoor dining area was nice. Maybe wouldnt specially revisit.

Great food! Absolutely delicious. The omlete was spectacular and food was so flavorful. Service was great aside from fruitfly season. Highly recommend the food.

Delicious food. Polish hill crepe was awesome. Service and people were friendly and attentive. Bagel with lox was tasty. We will definitely go back to try some more menu items. Great atmosphere inside.

Hidden gem that does not look like much from the outside. It has a wonderful outdoor area in the back with hanging umbrellas that provide the perfect amount of shade and sun. The lunch menu is small, but a good selection of sandwiches, salads and crepes. I had the Street which is advertised as a Philly Cheese steak. The sandwich came on a toasted bun with chips and a side salad.

My first time here for breakfast with friends. The breakfast, hands down the most incredible breakfast Ive ever eaten. The melding of an unexpected combination of merged melted flavors, exquisitely fresh ingredients, robust coffee in a wonderfully inviting environment on the patio. Caffe Mona creates a memorable, delightfully surprising dining experience!

Found this spot on google by typing in “healthy options near me”. This spot was interesting in that they had some really nice PROs but also some very glaring CONs. PROs: 1) Location- the location is nice and it’s right off of Penn Ave nearby Children’s. The outdoor seating is really nice and I love the umbrella roof they created 2) Fruit options on the menu- they had a large selection of fruits. The fruit platter was amazing it consisted of: apples, pears, cherries, bananas, and strawberries. All fresh. 3) simple menu. CONs: 1) Quality of heated food- the chicken used to make my chicken sandwich was frozen chicken pieces. The French toast seemed frozen too and then reheated on the flat top to keep it 100. 2) Inaccurate explanation of items on the menu- this is minor but a con nonetheless but they say they offer avocado for their sandwiches but in reality it’s an avocado paste. Not the same and it may have been from a bag. They need to say it’s a paste and not mislead. Overall I think this spot is better for lighter meals as their salad and fruits were nice. I’m iffy on their meats except for their bacon, their bacon was pretty good.

The food was very disappointing. The nutella love crepe had VERY little nutella. The veggie omelet was under seasoned. So bland - I stopped eating after one bite. Avocado toast - again - no flavor - so bland - so boring.

Cute cafe. Good service. Tasty pretty food. Still awesome a year later!

Place is really nice. It has what you need to start a day with a tasty breakfasts. You must try the cappuccino and the oreo crepes.

So very good, I believe it’s a french inspired bistro. The menu is vast and interesting, the coffee is superb. Also the portion sizes are big in my opinion so be ready to eat! I ended up getting a bagel and it was fabulous. Side salad included too which is a nice touch. I can’t wait to go back! I highly recommend!

I want to start with the fact that while the food was good, the staff is extremely rude. They are not at all toddler friendly . One of the staff members was extremely rude and obnoxious. They gave us an undesired table and when we requested another table, a lady from the staff was kind enough to help us with our request. On the other hand that the rude staff member, insulted us and created a huge scene. Well it’s really sad that a good cafe has such bad energy . I don’t think we’ll ever go back . Other staff members were great, however insulting your customers isn’t the best way to do business

There was a good selection on the menu, and I got the protein omelet and it was delicious! The serving sizes were good, but not to big... We brought a bottle of champagne and asked for a pitcher of orange juice and glasses . Overall we enjoyed the restaurant and the ambience and will plan to return soon!

First time going to a restaurant since the pandemic began. Good food and vibes.Got a starter of avocado toast - this turned out to also be an entree, basically. Fine by me.

The food was good but service was really poor. On top of that, the head chef was extremely rude to us. We confronted him before leaving but he didnt even bother to apologize for his behavior. Definitely wont visit again.It is the customers that make you who you are today. If you dont serve them right, in no time you will go down.

Beautiful back patio with colorful umbrellas over head. I had an excellent fig and mascarpone crepe!

I went with my friend today around 10:30-11am. The food was good but the service was absolutely aweful. The waiter was very rude. He complimented my purse when greeting us, very odd, but ok. When I asked for an extra cup of ice for my Chai late he said, Can I just put it together to make my job easier. I politely stated that I wanted it on the side. When he brought our drinks he then spilled orange juice on my purse and didnt even say sorry which kinda makes me think it was on purpose for inconveniencing him with the ice. He was very short and rude the entire rest of the time. After we got out food we saw him once, when he tried to take my food before I was done, then not again until we were ready to leave. When we asked for separate checks he told us to just go up front to pay. We didnt even get a receipt so I dont know his name. All in all we will NOT be back.

Great bunch food, friendly service, wonderful atmosphere! Art on sale at a reasonable price.Picked up your beauty for $40!

Awesome outdoor space, great service and delicious food!!!

Tues morn about 930 am. Not crowded. 2 tables inside, 1 table outside beside us(party of 6). Waited 7-8 min for the table and yet there wasnt anyneed to wait. Putting water bottles on the table before being seated and being charged for them( even without opening them) is wrong. Bring water if its asked for..such a petty way to upcharge me. Asked for side of bacon( wasnt served until we finished meal and asked for it.). Would have asked earlier but our server never made a check back once during the meal.Omelet was good, nothing extraordinaire though. Better to go on weekend and get the brunch special...

Went on a recommendation while having a test done at Childrens. The french toast was fantastic, will definitely stop again when in the area.

Absolutely amazing experience. Kind staff, delicious food, and amazing coffee. I’d recommend it to anyone, trust me it’s worth the experience.

Phenomenal Food and Service. Loved It

A different change of pace breakfastvlots of good choices

Wonderful food and atmosphere. I had a pesto crepe and then a fig/mascarpone one for dessert. Staff is super friendly and the back deck is lovely!

Great food and Sarah our waitress was awesome!

Great value, tasty food, and extremely friendly service. The decor is interesting as well.

We unfortunately had a negative experience at Caffe Mona. We were there for Sunday brunch and the food was pretty good. We had the chevre omelet, french toast, waffle and two fruit plates. However, the waitstaff were dismissive, unhelpful and even rude. They would not make eye contact so that they wouldnt have to stop at our table, so I said hi to one waiter. He looked at me, unsmiling, and quickly walked by. We had to ask for silverware and the waiter who brought it to us waved it in the air at us before setting it down, no smile. We asked our waitress if there were any vegan menu options and she looked at us like we were nuts, then said no. She did not come back to top off my coffee, so I had to ask the guy at the front end for some. I realize it is difficult for restaurants right now to find enough staff to work for them because of the pandemic, but there really is no excuse for an eatery to have such a snooty vibe. Wont go back.

Hands down the best breakfast I’ve had in all PIttsburgh . The owners are very personable as well. Highly recommend !

Caffe Mona rocks. Great crepes and coffee. Cool vibe. I’ll definitely be going back.

Waited nearly 10 minutes for a normal cup of coffee. Not sure where the girl went after we ordered it. Let me be clear, absolutely no one was in the restaurant but one other table. So, my friend asked one of the guys inside. He quickly brought us the coffee and took our order. We both ordered omelets, a veggie and the chèvre. The eggs were over cooked (rubbery) and no flavor whatsoever. They looked amazing though but truly disappointing. I mean literally there was no flavor. The omelets were served with dry toast, no butter, had to ask for it, which came out ice cold and wouldn’t spread on the toast.Lastly, we ordered a single slice of Brie and fig French toast. Again, sadly no flavor. It wasn’t sweet or savory or anything. The fig jam was bland. Each took a bite and didn’t finish it because it was so blah. But it looked amazing. Not sure what the deal is here? A true disappointment considering most reviews were amazing. Also... waiting for the check... took forever. I get it if it’s busy but no one was here and it was a Thursday morning.I will say the atmosphere is great. That’s why I give it 2 stars instead of just one. Sat outside on the porch and the coffee was delicious (even though they never refilled cups until I had to ask). I would recommend skipping this place and try somewhere else.

Great service and the crepes were wonderful.

Very lovely place with outside patio with colorful umbrellas. Food is delicious😋😋. My favorite is Berries French toast(highly recommended)! The staff always nice and attentive. I couldn’t find pic of FT so just posted crepe which ordered also (Holy crepe😋)

Great outdoor seating option, and pretty good food too!

Amazing place I highly recommended. I think it’s the best place in Pittsburgh for breakfast and brunch. Inside and outside pretty and creative decoration. Price is very reasonable.

Fast friendly folks. Love ya

Nice spot for a meal. Friendly staff and good selection of breakfast and brunch fare.

Very busy on Sunday, took a long time to be seated (to be honest, we were a party of 6). Food was nothing special.

Delicious food at a reasonable price with a fun (if somewhat eclectic) atmosphere.

Really enjoyed breakfast. Im not a coffee lover, but husband said it was good coffee. He was quite pleased with his Protein Omlette and I loved my Nutella French Toast. I asked mine with berries instead of banana and was really happy with portion size, taste and quality!

The entire staff is wonderful, and everything on the menu is delicious!

Fabulous food. Great service. Loved the patio dining.

First stop in and wow amazing foods, service was great, chocolate milk was the bomb! Will for sure be back here, if its nice out highly recommend sitting on the back under the neat umbrellas

Pretty good brunch spot. Split some great crepes and omelette. The umbrellas weren’t up yet when we went but still sat outside and it was nice. Nice staff.

Nice spot, superior breakfast, awesome decorOutdoor dining front & back. Who serves a salad with breakfast? Cafe Mona! Bagels, omelets, pancakes. Dont miss this.

Absolutely lovely experience! Got the avocado toast & the banana and nutella crepe - both were amazing. Topped off with a caramel oat milk latte, it was the brunch experience I needed.

Yes place is a treasure...a celebration of thoughtfulness and joy in food presentation

Easily one of my favorite cafes in Pittsburgh! Their coffee is delicious, they have both wonderful sweet and savory selections on their menu and the service is fantastic- everyone is so pleasant! Has a very European cafe feel with pretty artwork on the walls and a knowledgeable staff.

Delicious crepes and French toasts, cute and cozy atmosphere, great service, friendly and well informed servers.

Great atmosphere! I could spend all day here! Hands down the best coffee shop in Pittsburgh!

Great food, great place, great service! Very friendly people.

They make the most delicious French Toast and crepes I have ever had!!

This an awesome hidden gem of a restaurant that you should check out. Very instagram friendly with a patio mimicking the umbrella road in San Juan. It was a classic Pittsburgh overcast day when I went, but I feel like this would be the perfect breakfast spot on a nice Saturday morning! I got the Mr. Green savory crêpe and it was great. A really light crêpe that was filled with a balanced amount of spinach and 3 cheeses and topped with a glaze of some sort. Overall, really a good place that will definitely fill you, but you’re still able to walk out feeling a little healthy. It was served with a side salad that was a little heavy on the balsamic, but to eat their own. I also got a cup of hot chocolate that was perfect for a slightly cool morning. I couldn’t taste the Nutella all that well, but as hot chocolates go, it was really good! Like I said, the back patio is where it’s at. You’re seated closer to other diners because they’re trying to maximize space and I think it’s always good to interact with strangers and to put down your phone, so it was a plus. It was kind of busy when I went so the kitchen was probably slammed, but i would definitely come back and show off this hole in the wall that everyone should visit.

Best brunch in Pittsburgh! The food and service was great and they have the cutest outdoor patio

Great breakfast joint and great drinks. Def sit outside on the patio if you can!

This is my favorite place to eat at!! The service is great!! I go there at least twice a month! Every time I go there I receive the best service, the waiters and waitresses take our orders right away and the food gets to us quickly. The owners are so nice and very welcome. Besides the service the inside and outside seating areas are very welcoming and homey.

My daughter recommended that me and my husband try this place out. What a great place! The food is wonderful, our favorite meal to order is the street sandwich (steak, mushrooms, onions, cheese). Plus you get a side salad and Pringle’s! Owners are friendly and the back patio is beautiful! We’ll definitely be back!

Amazing crèpes.

This was a quaint little place the had grea rye outdoor seating. The service was fast and the food was excellent.

Caffe Mona is the best place for brunch! The food is delicious and reasonably priced. I have never had a bad meal here. On top of that, the waitstaff are attentive and the owners make everyone feel welcome. Dont miss this place!

Ordered here from uber eats. Was excited because Ive always heard good things. We ordered three salmon crepes and one sweet French toast. Everything was inedible because it was unbearably salty and the French toast (how does anyone mess this up?) was so dry we could barely swallow it.We called the restaurant hoping for some reconciliation but the chef took it personally and literally couldnt believe us that his food was too salty. The food ended at the bottom of my garbage bag 🤷🏻‍♂️. From the food to the service it was all so poor, and I will not be returning! If anyone would like a suggestion .... Just go to Gepettos Cafe on butler street for crepes and French toast.

This was our first visit and it was amazing. Yes- we had to wait (for the patio. No wait for inside) However, we were told up front. The owner offers free coffee, water and chocolate while you wait. I watched the incident mentioned in most recent review. People are out of line. It is a good restaurant with good food and very cool patio. If you want quick- try McDonald’s!

Love this place! Their coffee is great and the food is even better! Seriously have enjoyed everything Ive eaten there, but personally love the savory crepe options the best! The patio out back with the hanging umbrellas is really neat. Our church jas also used these guys for catering and events. They were fantastic to work with for those things too. They made some amazing food for us! Cant recommend them enough.

Delicious food with very friendly and fast service... Coffee is excellent... One of the best places for breakfast or a quick lunch bite...

Good place for a relaxing brunch.

Pretty unique spot to grab some breakfast and coffee.

Very good food. Highly recommended for breakfast, brunch or lunch.
