They seriously don't take visa or any type of plastic, but the food here is worth a trip to the atm. -& worth a 15 min. wait on a busy Sat. morning.
I had the California cinnamon vanilla french toast & my husband had chocolate crepes that we're both equally amazing. Our server was friendly & didn't seem to mind little changes.

Great pancakes, even liked by the Obamas. The chocolate chip & banana ones are really good too. Affordable prices, with discounted prices during the week before 11:00, however, beware, they are a cash only restaurant. Also, they can get crowded, so my advice is to go early, especially on the weekends!

I took the cash-only as a sign this place would be a good place to meet for breakfast. I was wrong. So wrong, in fact, that this place deserves 10 stars, not 5. My family enjoyed the crepe hot cakes and I enjoyed my waffle. I haven't had better service in what feels like 1 million years. I totally recommend it. I'm sure Space Cat agrees.

Had to come here on our last day in Pittsburgh after reading other reviews on it, and we were not disappointed! The wait wasn't too bad for that time of day, plus the place was considerably large so it worked for us, and it was a nice morning so why not wait? I had ordered the croissant french toast, and it was amazing. Very light and didn't make me feel stuff like i could with pancakes or other dishes. Didn't want anything too heavy and this fit the bill.
