Wow, the Benedicts here make square cafe an absolute must try! This place is super popular, but the short rib and corn beef Benedict’s were some of the best brunch dishes I’ve ever had. The meat was so tender and flavorful, really amazing!
Breakfast sandwhich was also solid, with their chive biscuit being tasty, and the juices were fresh and paired nicely with the food. Lemon ricotta pancake was very fluffy, could have used more lemon and ricotta flavor though. But for the Benedict’s alone, definitely don’t miss out!

Lunch for three a couple weeks ago. Considering the crowd, the slow-ish (but friendly) service was understandable and restaurants all over town are dealing with short staffing. All three lunch dishes were delicious and very high quality, on the higher end of the price range, but worth it. Also, the atmosphere is very fun and colorful.

Great breakfast spot near the Shadyside area! The menu is quite vast but it seems like they have their style nailed down pretty well. It’s popular for a reason. I got to try out their lemon blueberry pancake, home fried, and bacon and egg breakfast sandwich.
The lemon blueberry pancake was huge. Not a ton of lemon flavor to it, thoughm but a good amount of blueberries. It’s fluffy and well made. The syrup it came with was kind of caramel iced at the bottom, with some hard pieces present. Pretty decent overall, especially for the price.
The sandwich was delicious. I loved the biscuit: bit of herbs, well seasoned, and well cooked. Just really good, even though it was starting to fall apart a bit. The eggs and cheese were great, and the bacon was perfectly crisp.
The home fries were nice as well. Nice portion size and crispy on the outside while soft in the middle. Would recommend. All in all, a very nice spot.

Square Cafe nails that perfect mix of cozy and lively. The space feels bright and welcoming, and the service is quick without rushing you out. Food came out hot, fresh, and clearly made with care.
Everything we ordered tasted great and felt thoughtful from the presentation to the balance of flavors. It’s the kind of place where you can linger over brunch without feeling like you’re in the way. A solid spot for a casual meal that still feels like a treat.

I love the vibe of this place. They offer a great variety of both savory and sweet dishes! I got the breakfast burrito, and it was filling and delicious. My husband ordered a single buttermilk pancake, a Nutella crepe, and we shared some fries. The pancake was fluffy and delicious. The fries were perfectly crunchy. We were a bit disappointed with the Nutella crepe, though, the crepe tasted bland.
We also grabbed the French toast latte to go. It was a bit too sweet for me (I’m not much of a sweet tooth), but my husband really enjoyed it. I’d definitely go back again, great service and friendly staff too!
