Attended a board gaming Meet-up in the back room. It was a great space. Food was amazing, although a bit on the pricey side. Staff was polite & knowledgeable.

Great place for breakfast and a coffee. Always cars parked in the lot but adequate seating. Never waited for a table.

Very solid spot for a snack or some coffee and a treat. Solid prices and a nice atmosphere. They have most of the classic coffee shop creations. I tried their hot cocoa, brownie, and chocolate chip cookie.Their desserts seem to be made in house. The brownie varieties vary from day to day, and this time, it was just a chocolate frosted one with sprinkles. The brownie had tons of pieces of chocolate in it, and the frosting was tasty as well. A tad dry, but still good.The chocolate chip cookie was only $1! What an amazing price and deal. It was very tasty as well, also having big chunks of chocolate in it. I’d definitely recommend.The hot cocoa was quite milky and honestly didn’t have much flavor. I was hoping for a chocolatey flavor, but it wasn’t there. Still, solid, and I’m sure the coffee is probably their specialty and likely better.All in all, I definitely enjoyed this place. Reasonable prices, solid portions, and a nice assortment of in house desserts. I’d return!Vegetarian options: Flatbreads, salads, desserts, etcKid-friendliness: Lots of desserts that could be used in a birthday celebration

1st.I wanted to just order waffles non-vegan apparently you can't do that here I don't mind people being vegan but don't force it down my throat give customers an option. 2. your coffee Stirrers don't stir the sugar in the bottom of the coffee because they're too short, and when you try to stir large coffee you burn your fingers.. 3. Serve Sweet and low for diabetic people. Stevia interferes with metformin medicine which most diabetic people take. 4 . Have some different flavors that you can put in your coffee like those little cups that you can pour creamer. And also have a sign outside saying if you have an event that you don't serve anything to eat or coffee like I was told. I can honestly say that your breakfast sandwiches are wonderful as long as I get my season potatoes when I order your product.

Mike at the Ruckus Coffee Gallery & Café was engaging and friendly, giving us out-of-towners great recs and pertinent suggestions, (we're traveling poets,) and the coffee, programming, and atmosphere at this place is exactly what I want out of my impulse stops. Would definitely recommend!

Had a great sandwich. Big portion (not skimping the meat), nice buttery toasted sourdough bread. With a Cafe au lait.. I was a happy camper.

What a fantastic little gem! Food was real and fresh, coffee was quite tasty, and they seem to have a philosophy of community to enrich their area (allowing people to use space, etc). One note is that some of the pricing doesn't make sense. Getting a full breakfast is just $2 more than getting just avacado toast. A small coffee is $1.50 (best coffee deal in Pittsburgh!! ), a large is like $3.50.

Ruckus is one of the few places you eat anymore where the food is homemade and tastes homemade. What you get is definitely food made by a REAL PERSON and not out of a bag or freezer. Their lunch paninis are addictive. Nice breakfast sandwiches with REAL HAM. House made pickles!The coffee is a good price. Staff is very kind.I’ve never been to any of their events but they have a nice community focused calendar of events.I am gluten free and twice I have gotten a sandwich to go and it wasn’t on gluten free bread. But considering how often I go there, it is a small mistake on the volume of orders I have placed.

Cool place! I came for the blood drive, found great food, decent seating options. Coffee was good, though I’m not sure I’d come seeking single origin beans.
