Not a problem. Cheerful staff offered to get (13) us a large table with about 5-10 minutes, and they did, and checked with us twice while waiting. Good coffee, attentive servers, great assortment of breakfast treats...everyone was happy. Pancakes, corned beef hash, chorizo, eggs,...all got high marks. A stop we had to make while visiting w local college graduate!, and... More

The pancakes are crepe thin and oh so yummy! Lots of great old shots of Pittsburgh too. We had to wait about ten minutes for a table, but it was well worth it.

We stopped in late on a Friday morning and sat right down. Great hotcakes and french toast. A fun place for breakfast!

The pancakes (more like crepes) are a local institution. Delicious! Splurge and order the specialty ones: chocolate chip with whipped cream and sliced bananas are sinfully good. The Tex-mex omelet with chorizo, salsa, and guacamole is my favorite. Enjoy!

Pamela's is a MUST for anyone traveling to Pittsburgh. Their crepe-style pancakes are to die for and dining in their cafe is a true Pittsburgh experience. Be advised - they only take cash! There are ATMs nearby, but don't walk in thinking a credit card will work! (Trust me - it is worth the possible ATM fees to draw cash... More
