The Café Carnegie
4400 Forbes Ave, Pittsburgh, PA
Crema's Take
“Tucked inside Carnegie Museum, this café punches well above typical museum cafeteria standards with a genuinely diverse menu and coffees that reviewers rave about—it's a legitimate destination, not an afterthought. The split personality works beautifully: grab a quick espresso and pastry at the café bar, or settle into the lovely dining area for something more substantial like their inventive pasta and crepe dishes. Fair warning though: portions on the fancier plates can be surprisingly modest for the price, so manage expectations on the full meal front.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Wifi.

I have tried this cafe twice now. I ordered the special braised pork belly and was shocked with how little food I received for about $25. I was really excited too when I heard the visiting chef was serving pork belly (one of my favorites). I then tried the cafe again a month…
Amazing service by Megan! We chose seating outside which is very nice and not noisy at all. They have unique dishes, we enjoyed the vegetarian agnolotti pasta, chicken crepes and a very filling chocolate mousse.
Stopped in the Cafe at Carnegie after my museum visit. They have a Cafe bar for quick bites and coffee, along with other beverages. They also have a lovely dining area. The menu has a variety of choices. I opted for a turkey club and it was delicious. My hubby had a falafel.…
