Ahh our favorite time of day… Brunch Time! We know it’s not an official meal, but it definitely should be. Brunch combines all the best parts of breakfast and lunch to create the best food at the best time of day. It’s truly a match made in heaven and we are here for it. Pittsburgh has an eggceptional brunch scene and we came up with a few that you should try. So don’t go bacon our hearts and try them all! Check out our list of the best brunch in the Burgh!

Smashed Waffles

Gourmet waffles, lattes, and an Instagrammable dining area…what more could you want for the perfect brunch?! Smashed Waffles is the latest addition to Oakland restaurants and our current brunch obsession. All their waffles are made fresh daily and their menu offers an extensive variety- everything from the Swirly Sin to the All Cracked Up (yes, they offer waffle breakfast sandwiches!). Grab your friends, and your camera, and be sure to check out Smashed Waffles for your next brunch adventure.
