Very slept on spot in Pittsburgh. It's a Top 3 breakfast spot for me and I've tried to hit everyone I can think of The reason I'm not giving it a 5 star is because my eggs Benedict were cold which is unfortunate but nonetheless they were still good. Not spectacular but good for sure and tons of options for the style of them. We got the Da Vinci and Donatello Never do I order French toast when I get breakfast but I had to here and if you're a French toast slut you must get these. We got the Edison which was stuffed with brie cheese and topped with a blueberry compote and fruit. The perfect level of sweet and savory and very filling. If there was another spoonful of the compote it would've been too overpowering The pancakes themselves were a solid pancake and can't go wrong with those. Fluffy and not dry Inside has a bunch of famous philosophers and inventors throughout history on the wall and what their specialities are named after. Our waitress was very helpful with what to pick when we were between a few things and gave us her favorites and the most ordered dishes

I liked this place! Food came out fast, server was friendly, it was bright and cheery in the dining area. My parents and I stopped in for a quick bite and each ordered a meal. Portions were big, so I think we could've split 2 plates between the three of us. Each dish is named after a famous person, thus the name of the cafe. There were also photos (AI perhaps) of various famous people around the restaurant. It's a little cheesy, but clever as well. If I lived in Pittsburgh, I'd definitely stop back again. I think you could sit for awhile and do some work if you needed to here, or go in and out for a quick meal. Easy to find at the intersection and plenty of street parking when we were there.

Very cute spot! Service is super fast and the girls were very nice. The food came out fast and good. I really liked my eggs benny since they were perfectly poached and the hollandaise was done right! Liked the side salad too. It was a Sunday morning and we got seated pretty fast, there was no wait at all. Definitely small inside so I would recommend this spot for smaller groups. The menu is also decently big so you can find something for everyone!

Absolutely love this little breakfast place in my hood. Their sandwiches are super fresh, as are their omelettes. Be sure to get the "fluffy eggs" one. It's incredible. There's always a fresh green salad with a light vinaigrette. Yum! Great coffee drinks. The service is attentive and fast. The ambiance is quirky and charming. There's always a line on the weekends. Get there early!

Reasonable, but not spectacular. While I appreciate the naming convention around items on their menu and the corresponding themes around historical figures, it didn't really seem like the names were particularly inspired or particularly focused on aligning historical figures with particular dishes. That's really a minor concern and not a big deal. In terms of the actual food, it was fine. The vegetables on each salad were fresh, and the various brunch items on the menu were reasonably well constructed. That having been said, nothing was particularly inspired. Every dish really needed some additional condiments and additions to deliver a good flavor and texture experience. Many of the dishes seemed like combinatorial variations on the same set of ingredients. I realize that's a bit of a necessity in a professional kitchen, but I would have expected a bit more variety. All told, this was a perfectly reasonable destination with a small space and a staff that was very helpful and clearly trying to deliver a good experience. It was reasonable enough, but somewhat short of great.

Our families go-to brunch place! Oh myyyy their eggs Benedict is scrumptious- no words needed! If you are thinking to go on the weekends, go as soon as they open because there are always so many people. Especially if you go as a group, make sure you go in super early to grab a seat

We ordered the Graham Bell and Van Gogh (I got smoked salmon instead of ham). The Van Gogh was incredible, and the potatoes were delicious. The waitresses were really nice. I will say, the AI generated pictures of the famous people on the walls was a little off putting. I wish they had just used actual pictures of them.

Hipster vibes upon check-in. This place made me want to know what they had to offer. As soon as we were seated a waitress stopped by for drink orders. As we read over the menu, a different waitress checked to see if we were ready by to order food. We both had lattes (delicious.) I enjoyed the Picasso (eggs Benedict) breakfast and my husband had the Constantine (omelette). Everything was great! We'll definitely go again.

A friend and I enjoyed a quick breakfast at Famous Cafe during the weekend. We saw a bit of a rush but we were still seated quickly inside. We both ordered an entree and split the pancakes. My entree consisted of poached eggs and salmon with potatoes on the side, it was tasty and came out fresh and hot. My friend got an omelette, it was a huge portion she could barely finish it all. I really liked the pancakes, they were very well made and soft. I also ordered an iced coffee and I liked that they have coffee options outside of just hot drip coffee. The cafe has cool decor featuring a variety of famous, iconic people like Salvador Dali, Marilyn Monroe, Edgar Allen Poe, just to name a few. The staff is also very nice and we had no customer service issues during our visit. The prices were fair and I thought the value was great for the amount of food you get.
