Lots of great vegan options!! - Edit
The Square Cafe has lots of vegan options including burgers, salads, pancakes, scrambles, bowls and more - I got the Vegan Square Breakfast which came with scrambled Just Eggs, crumbled vegan sausage & single vegan pancake - a bit on the pricier side but incredibly delicious

Great mixed crowd spot - Edit
I had to laugh when the tofu scramble came out - I was expecting the scrambled up tumeric colored tofu and it was more like a stir fry with blocked tofu - BUT still really good. For a mixed vegan / non vegan crowd this place is tough to beat.
Read morePros: Super cool local spot, Awesome proprietary coffee mugs

Great for Brunch! - Edit
One of the best vegan breakfasts that I've had. Their soy chorizo is amazing! They also have delicious smoothies made with plant-based protein powder.

Just okay - Edit
They don’t have the tofu scramble anymore, which was a major bummer, but they do have vegan menu items clearly marked. Several of the vegetarian items can also be made vegan with a small swap (ex: tofu instead of an egg). The food was fine but nothing to go out of your way for, especially considering that the long waits on weekends are the stuff of Pittsburgh lore.
Read moreThe staff was polite but every single one of them looked like they’d rather be anywhere else, which makes me wonder about how great employees are treated. Service was fast enough but it was basically dropped on the table and the server disappeared immediately after making sure everything was fine.

Get there early - Edit
This place is popular, especially on weekend mornings. When I ate there it was hopping at quarter to 9 on a Sunday morning- I don't want to think about what the after-church rush must be like.
Read moreThat said- Square Cafe is sure to please the whole family, veggie or omni. They serve some of the best tofu scramble I've ever had (you know how sometimes it's gets little overwhelmed by the nutritional yeast? Not a problem here.) Also, the vegan breakfast tacos are *fabulous*.
Pros: Nice atmosphere/local art work, Great food, Reasonable prices
Cons: Busy, Long lines
