Best bread baker in Pittsburgh!!! Wow! Breads are fantastic. Pastries very good and if you are lucky to be there when sandwiches are available, they make a great lunch. Coffee available onsite too.

The food at Five Points is genuinely excellent — the baked goods, in particular, are outstanding and worth the trip on their own. Unfortunately, the service is consistently abysmal. The staff treat guests with a level of passive-aggressiveness that makes you feel like a third-class citizen, which really takes away from the experience. If only the warmth of the food matched the coldness of the service.

Best bakery in Pittsburgh, hands down. Incredible bread, cookies, and pastries. Real bread, properly crusty and full of character. I love supporting this little local shop. I think their pecan sandies might be the best cookie ever.

The bread and coffee were amazing. I wish I would have stopped in sooner. This place will definitely be my go-to for my morning coffee from now on.

Very long wait just for a coffee. I thought maybe they forgot about it but the barista was just extra slow. Maybe they milk the cow themselves, I don't know. Sometimes no one was at the espresso machine, even with multiple orders waiting so I don't think speed is too much of a concern. Coffee is okay.

I stopped by Five Points Artisan Bakeshop this Saturday and it absolutely lived up to the hype. Their loaves are started well in advance (they emphasize long fermentation—at least ~20 hours for many breads), which you can taste in the depth of flavor and that crackly crust. The baguette is outstanding—Pittsburgh press has called it among the city’s best—and mine was warm, fragrant, and perfectly balanced between a crisp shell and airy interior. Beyond bread, the pastry case is hard to resist (think croissants, cookies, and seasonal specials), and they also do simple, tasty sandwiches Tuesday–Saturday—great if you want to turn your bakery run into lunch.

A year ago today, my cat Muffin passed away. I wanted to do something to remember her, so I decided to get some muffins from a local bakery. I looked up some places in Pittsburgh and found this one…I got three different kinds of muffins, and they were exactly what I needed today. Thank you, and five stars well-deserved!

Loved it, quick pit stop and grab and go pastries! The rhubarb pie was my favorite! Good croissants also!

Great pastries, great coffee and service too! Came later in the day so they didn’t have much left, but still absolutely loved the cranberry oatmeal cookie flavor, one of the best I ever had! Also note that they stop most coffee by the afternoon, but the staff was super nice and still offered cold brew later in the day! Will be coming back to try more of their pastries soon!

Worth waiting in line. Bread is fabulous.

What a gem, an absolute favorite of mine. Pittsburgh has an unusual number of excellent bakeries, but this is my favorite. They excel in croissants, danishes, etc. but also make outstanding sandwiches and coffee. One of the best anywhere.
