Famous Cafe

Crema's Take
“This Pittsburgh gem celebrates intellectual curiosity through both its walls and its kitchen, with a gallery of famous scientists, artists, and musicians creating an ambiance as memorable as the food itself. They've earned their reputation with creative breakfast dishes like their signature Einstein and Newton French toasts, alongside expertly executed eggs Benedict and thoughtful requests honored with precision. Whether you're settling in with wifi for focused work or gathering with friends over specialty drinks and pastries, there's a warmth here that makes you feel like you're part of something a little smarter than the average coffee shop.”

I already feel more intelligent. I enjoy the French toast Einstein style requested eggs over medium and bacon. Well done. Everything came as requested. Good combination Friends at the table enjoyed the homemade biscuits. Eggs benedict and homemade potatoes. Sweet attentive waitress fast service. Good food recommend
Had the Newton French Toast. Absolutely amazing. It was so good and I don’t usually have French Toast at restaurants it just seemed that it would be good and it really was!!
The restaurant had beautiful decor with paintings of celebrities all over the walls. It creates an ambiance that’s almost as good as the food itself. The eggs Benedict were delicious and the French toast was fluffy and rich. We also tried the ice cream latte which was a very fun start to the meal. 10/10 we will be back!
Came here for lunch the other day and unfortunately wasn’t very impressed. We had sandwiches, so I can only hope that the breakfast is better. I had the smoked salmon sandwich and it had one lonely piece of salmon on it. The sandwiches also come with hardly dressed greens unless you want to pay $2 for potatoes, which were pretty good.
Our first time at the cafe. Loved the atmosphere and the wall graffiti depicting famous people from scientists, to musicians to artists. I read a previous review saying the art on the wall was AI generated, must have been before the wall graffiti was done. We were a party of 3 and each ordered a different menu item. There is something for everyone. The bread for the sandwiches and the bread accompanying the egg dishes is sourdough bread. The salad portions with the egg dish was very generous. The fruit with the French toast bread was mostly berries and generous portion. This is not something you see in other breakfast places where fruit portions are small and mostly banana. Waitresses were frindly and accomodating. We all loved it and will be coming again.
