My daughter recommended this place and it was an outstanding breakfast/brunch with both my kids!!! Located in the Lower Lawrenceville neighborhood of Pittsburgh, The Nook is a cozy and inviting restaurant that serves up delicious breakfast and brunch dishes and with a creative twist. It's a popular spot for locals and visitors who want to enjoy a creative and wholesome meal in an inviting, warm, busy and friendly atmosphere.
Their menu features a variety of options that appeal to a big variety of different tastes and preferences. Whether you are in the mood for a classic breakfast, a hearty sandwich, a fresh salad, or a special waffle, they've got something for you. Some of the most popular dishes include a surprising Southern Benedict, which has two poached eggs on top of buttermilk biscuits with sausage gravy and bacon, yep that's southern. There's Eggs Florentine, and the Chicken and Waffles. They also offer vegan and gluten-free options, like the Vegan Chorizo, (no thank you) as well as the Gluten-Free Pancakes, that's are made with rice flour.
The Nook's drinks menu is equally impressive, with hot and cold beverages that complement the food. You can choose from coffee, which is not bad at all, tea, juice, smoothies, milkshakes, or alcoholic drinks like a mimosa, bloody mary, or beer. The Nook also has some specialty drinks that are worth trying, such as the Nutella Hot Chocolate, which I need to try, and the Lavender Lemonade, which is an aromatic lemonade infused with lavender and #1 daughter's fave.
The ambiance is warm and welcoming, with a rustic but modern decor that lives up to the name The Nook. it's relatively small but comfortable dining area that can comfortably accommodate up to 40 people. The tables are wooden and cozy, with flowers and candles that add to the charm.
Now onto the food, I went with the Eggsuberant which is a classic combo of great breakfast faves with a waffle sub, it was all good and I'd have it again. #1 son & daughter went with the Southwest Sunrise omelette and the Nook Burger. Everything was hot, well prepared and seasoned just right and that made us a very happy family trio.
The Nook is open from Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and from Saturday to Sunday from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. You can make reservations online through their website or by calling their phone number. You can also order food online through Uber Eats if you prefer to enjoy eat at home or at work.
Bottom line: The Nook's motto is "food forward meets fresh", that means high-quality ingredients for dishes that are innovative and delicious. If you are looking for a place to have breakfast or brunch in Pittsburgh, you should definitely check out The Nook. Highly recommended!!!
