I jogged by here many times, and hadn't a clue about what was inside. I took my family for breakfast today based on reviews I read here. As mentioned, it is very small. We had to wait a bit, but it was completely worth it. For as simple as it appears from the outside, it has a great decor inside. The food was fantastic! My daughter loved the blueberry pancakes. My wife and I both got omlets, and they were perfect in every way. I don't know how they made the home fries as good as they were, but the did. There are more unique omlets that I can't wait to try when I go back.

We found Cafe on Main through a serendipitous drive. It was a great find! The omelets are amazing, and a complimentary mimosa was very welcomed. Our server Marshall took great care of us. We plan several return visits, despite a half hour drive.

the food is amazing. truly. the breakfast options are standard fare with inventive twists: why, yes, i would like brie with my eggs and peaches with my pancakes. my friend and i *had to* order the stuffed french toast as a brunch appetizer bc there were just too many extraordinary things from which to choose. her friend potatoes were the best i've ever had. the waitress was friendly and attentive. if i lived closer i would definitely be a regular!
(5)Hombre D.
Awesome Spanish omelet and the bacon is unbelievable! Chef greeted us at the door when they opened and the wait staff is really friendly and efficient. I'm coming here every time I come to Pittsburgh and you should too!

Good food and fine people. There breakfast is awesome, but their catering could be better. I was very happy with the food, but my family was rather disappointed. Go there for breakfast first and explore from there.

This place really is a gem, tucked away on Main Street in Sharpsburg, Pa. My two experiences have both been with brunch, but let me tell you.....each time it has been unbelievably tasty! I have ordered their steaks and eggs which is out of this world. My table had eggs benedict, and some other egg dishes which were all greatly enjoyed as well. Not to mention you get a free mimosa with your meal! What makes the place even better is the atmosphere and service. Both are outstanding! Can't wait to come back.

So so so so GOOD! Really might be the best breakfast/brunch I've had in Pittsburgh. I've been there a ton to visit my sisters and we always try to hot spots (Pamela's, Kelly O's, etc etc). The nutella/banana pancakes at Cafe on the Main are to die for. Large portions (too large to handle but hey you have leftovers!), perfectly cooked pancakes, perfect sweetness. The potatoes with onions have an amazing flavor. The coffee was delicious. And the service is excellent - really friendly - really down to earth place. I come back here for brunch each time I come back into town now!
(5)Koose V.
Good eats, nice staff, great for family or friends, all that stuff, I had the Norwegian eggs Benny, it was good enough for me to ignore the hair in my plate which usually I get pissed about.

Unfamiliar with the Aspinwall area and not wanting to brave the brunch scene in the East End, I turned to Yelp to help guide me towards a close spot to get brunch. Perfection! This quickly became a weekly brunch spot and Gina even remembers my and my usual dining partner's names. The food is phenomenal every single time. You can't go wrong with any of it!!
(5)A S.
Delicious breakfast! Had a goat cheese, zucchini, tomato, & spinach omlette that was giant and delicious. Had a side of fresh fruit-yum! Hubby ordered eggs/potatoes/bacon/ and blueberry waffle. Everything was so fresh and tasty. The staff was super friendly and made you feel like family. Will be back as much as possible!

We found this place using Yelp! We are always liking for options other than your typical chain restaurants around. Sometimes they are hard to find even In Your own backyard. Look no further than on Main Street in Sharpsburg! Located right off the bridge headed to route 28. We were looking for a place on our way to Pittsburgh Mills shopping center. Also it's an Easy entry back on to 28 after your done. Charming old building on Main Street provides for a comfortable setting inside. Specials listed on blackboard as you enter. They have some amazing offerings for breakfast. (See photos) With so many different options, you are certain to find one for everyone in your party. we choose the pancakes with bacon, dippy eggs with yummy spicy, but not too spicy sausage, and the amazing omelette filled with roasted red peppers, provolone cheese, asparagus and ham. everything was delicious! The omelette was amazing! The potatoes were seasoned perfectly! We now can't wait to now try lunch if we are nearby. Service was fast and efficient. They were not warm and fuzzy, but food was properly prepared and we never waited for refills. The only recommendation I could make would be to tell the servers to smile more! :) hence, the 4 instead of 5 rating. Summary: Do yourself a favor and break away from the chains and go here! Who wants to really wait for 1/2 hour or more to eat at Eat-n-park anyway???? We didn't even wait here, just sayin.

Been there once and plan on going there again. Gets four stars because of its hours of operation being limited. Wished it was open for most of the day

I've been to Cafe On Main twice now and I just keep wanting to go back. When you walk in and see that the specials board is as long as the menu, how can you decide? Part of me wants to go back every day just to see what new items are being offered....but then again, part of me is afraid to because it all sounds so good. I've selected the Eggs Benedict special both times. The ingredients are fresh and delicious, and you can tell that great care and thought has gone in to each dish. The home fries were some of the best around. Most recently I was there on a late Sunday morning. Imagine my joyful surprise in learning that a complimentary mimosa came with my menu selection that day! As if the fantastic food and great service weren't enough. I can't wait to go back. Drool creeps down my chin just thinking about it...
(5)Debbie Y.
I'm a regular here and Aaron and Gina know my family just from coming here frequently. The home fries are the best I've ever had.............I try to go elsewhere, but keep coming back!! I love this restaurant!
(5)Kate C.
I'm new to Yelp. Otherwise, I would have reviewed this place years ago. Found it by accident after going to St. Vincent de Paul's thrift store. My favorite place in all of Allegheny County for breakfast. It is a cute, well maintained, clean place. Love the atmosphere. Gina is an exceptional, friendly waitress. Knows me so well that she has a can of Coke for me as I'm coming in the door. Always asks how my mother is. The food is always very good, made from fresh ingredients. Hard to get breakfast anywhere else after eating here. Try one of their many fancy omelets. And their breakfast potatoes. Lunch is also very good.

Adorable little brunch spot in the heart of main street Sharpsburg. It's decorated beautifully with charming garden decor that makes it feel incredibly homey. It is quite small inside (probably only 10 or so tables), so expect a bit of a wait on the weekends (they do turn tables over quickly though). The food was phenomenal. They had a huge list of specials chock full of seasonal ingredients, as well as a comprehensive regular menu. We each couldn't decide what to get, so we went splitsies -- among the two of us we ordered the peach and brie stuffed french toast, banana Nutella pancakes, and an order of home fries -- and we shared it all. Everything we ate was divine. The french toast was made with thick bread that was cooked just enough to give it a lightly toasted outside while still remaining soft and tender inside. The brie cheese was velvety and mild and nicely complemented the spiced, succulent peaches. Yum x 1000! The banana Nutella pancakes were also heavenly -- soft and tender, spiked with real bananas throughout, and covered with tons and tons of Nutella. It was sweet and sinful and everything a good breakfast should be. And let's not forget the home fries. They consisted of chunks of beautifully seasoned red potatoes that were cooked to perfection so that they had a nice caramelization on top, but remained fluffy and tender inside. We left completely stuffed and satisfied, with motivation to do little else for the rest of the day but nap ;) Service was fast, friendly, and efficient. Our waiter was very attentive and even offered us a complimentary mimosa while we waited for our food. The owner's father chatted us up while we were waiting in line and after we were seated at our table. He was really friendly and seemed genuinely interested in getting to know us. That really added an adorable element of "mom-n-pop-ness" to this place. I do have to take off a star in this area though, because at one point he yelled a joke to us from across the room that contained an ethnic term that is outdated at best and at worst could have potentially offended someone. I know he wasn't trying to make anyone uncomfortable (I think it's probably a generational issue), but I'm taking off a star just because I think you have to be sensitive to that sort of thing. Overall though, we had a great meal in a great setting, so we'll definitely be back. This is an awesome alternative to some of the more well-known and overcrowded alternatives in the East End brunch scene.

Consistently my favorite breakfast place in the area. The omelette specials always taste fresh and the old standbys are expertly prepared. Friendly service and very fair prices as well!
(4)Jim H.
Great breakfast! Ordered the Dublin Benedict with grits, and it was great. Potatoes & onions were perfect, as was the bread. Nothing terribly unique, but each item done right. Drive by and you'll think no way. Walk in and it's unassuming. But you won't be disappointed. And service was nice. She was busy, but come on, it's not a factory, it's people.
(5)Lori B.
We recently ate here on a Sunday afternoon. We had Peach Cobbler Pancakes. Truly enjoyed these! They were a thinner pancake with delicious peach fruit and peach syrup drizzled over the top. We also tried the potato pancakes, but they were nothing special. Service was good, the atmosphere was very family friendly oriented. Complimentary mimosa was a nice touch. Definitely recommend for brunch!

This little spot is very accommodating and friendly. The host was very friendly and helped suit us with a table right away. Even though there was a line we managed to be seated in only 10 minutes. I'm sure the group behind us wasn't to thrilled to see us seated before them but there was only 2 of us and 4 of them so the larger tables were limited. There was a small dining area when you first walk in . Only 3 tables mostly for 2 guest. The one we sat at could seat three but after order our food and beverages there was no more room on the tables. We ordered our breakfast in a timely manner. I took notice in the corn beef hash special. It came with the hash, sunny side eggs, and toasted ciabatta with grits. At only $9.00 i was very happy with the meal. My hubby ordered the Mediterranean omelette that also came with ciabatta and he ordered potato pancakes. Everything was delicious. The bread was perfectly toasted, the hash was so delicious and not greasy, the grits had lots of flavor and weren't over cooked or dry. I LOVED IT!! the omelette had kalmata olives in it that made this dish burst with flavor and it was a pretty big omelette. The main seating area only had about 9 tables so it's a pretty small place. But, the one thing i love about small places is the attentiveness that the servers have for you. They came back to the table frequently to make sure we were enjoying our selves and they even offered us complimentary mimosa's. i couldn't turn down that offer. I especially enjoyed how the host came and sat at our table telling us stories from his past while also boasting about the great eats this place had to offer. He was about 70 and so generous to sit and talk with us about his restaurant. We loved the conversation and would definitely return again for sunday brunch. I only wish that this place would stay open a little later but given it's location i guess business would suffer more than succeed.

Came here for breakfast on a Saturday. Solid, unfussy menu. I was very happy with my mushroom omelette, and the coffee wasn't bad either. Very cute place.

I was disappointed with my visit to Cafe on Main. My husband's Belgian waffle was cooked to a crisp. It wasn't burnt, but it wasn't fluffy at all. I was hard and dry. It was supposed to be lemon poppy-seed flavored, but I couldn't taste it. I ordered the eggs benedict special, but without the meat, and with the eggs cooked so that they practically hard-boiled. My meal was delivered with meat on the sandwich, so I sent it back. When I finally did get my order, the eggs weren't cooked as well as I like. While not runny, they were still pretty gel-like. I know they probably rushed to get them out due to the mix-up, which I appreciate to a point, but... The hollandaise sauce wasn't impressive, either. It missed that tanginess that makes hollandaise sauce so irresistible. This was just bland yellow goo atop the egg. I did like the potato pancakes, but they were tiny. I left hungry and bored. The server was pleasant and prompt with refills, and the dining area was cute, but those small positives aren't enough to outweigh the fact that food was mostly boring and/or bad.
(2)Erica W.
My boyfriend and I come here for Sunday brunch whenever he visits. I love the Man Waffle and he's never had a bad omelette there; they're always perfect! Their Snickerdoodle coffee is the best. Not to mention the complimentary mimosas!
(5)Patrick P.
Yummy food at a great price! I walked into this restaurant with really no expectations. The menu had a some interesting options for breakfast. My waitress was extremely friendly and made sure to introduce me to the owner. I felt very welcome. There was a line but was seated pretty quickly in this cafe setting. I ordered the German omelet with Potato Pancake. The german omelet was a corned beef and kraut. The mix was surprisingly very good. The potato cakes were not great - after tasting the omelet - I had higher expectations. The sour cream and applesauce provided me a oktoberfest memory that made me long for a stein of beer. Though I was full and my big boy pants were stretch to capacity - I did order one apple spice pancake. WARNING - THE BELOW COMMENTS WILL MAKE YOU IMMENDIATELY HUNGRY AND LONG FOR A STACK OF PANCAKES ... Okay - maybe the above commen is over the top but the cake went down so fast - there are no pictures. Maybe it did not even exist but oh boy - was it good. I believe they sautee paper thin sliced apples in butter seasoned in cinnamon. After the apples are softened, they pour their pancake batter. The pancakes are thin. Summary: Atmosphere - nice - 12-15 tables in a small room. You are pretty close to your neighbors but still a nice atmosphere. Service - Great / Super / Friendly - My waitress made me feel welcome and ensured my food was hot and coffee plentiful. Price - $9-$13 - I did order a pancake with my breakfast All was awesome and I cannot wait to go back!

The Cafe on Main in Sharpsburg is often overlooked when Pittsburghers are pondering where to go for breakfast. I've always thought it was a shame that this place wasn't more popular as they serve a very good breakfast. Their pancakes are flavorful and come with many options (blueberry, banana & chocolate hazelnut, choc chip & pecan, etc), their omelets are loaded with fixin's, they use a quality ciabatta bread for their breakfast sandwiches, their corned beef hash is outstanding, etc. The only breakfast item that I would ding are their sausage links. They look, taste, and have the texture of pre-made, pre-cooked, links that have been microwaved. In fact the sausage links seem like what you'd get at McDonalds. So, you're probably wondering why did I give them just 2 stars? Well, I brought my brother, sister-in-law, & nephews in from out east and my mom & Dad in from the North Hills to enjoy a Father's Day brunch at the Cafe on Main. My Dad arrived early and took a seat in their waiting area. Dad gave an older "gentleman" who appeared to be running things (the owner?) his name and the size of our group and was curtly told "we don't seat you until everyone is here." My Dad clearly wasn't asking to be seated in the dining room yet - he had settled in on a chair in the waiting area. A few minutes later my Dad asked this "gentleman" if he could have a cup of coffee. The response? "I'm waiting on customers." So I suppose an elderly man who has told you that a group of 7 will be eating at your establishment on Father's Day isn't a "customer"? Our full group arrived and after waiting about 15 more minutes (Dad had patiently waited, with no beverage, over 45 min) , we were seated. Our waitress was nice and helpful. She would disappear for long stretches but we knew it was a busy day for them so we didn't get frustrated. As various people finished eating she was quite prompt with clearing the table, which we appreciated. As our meal was winding down, I paid the check so that would be taken care of and we could leave as soon as everyone finished eating. Given that it was a holiday and I could see how hard she was working while keeping a smile on her face, I left a 30% tip. So, it seems we have a delightful Dad's Day, right? Well, almost. Despite the fact that two people in our group were still eating, the "gentleman" who was running the show came over to our table and quite rudely told us that "people were waiting" and we needed to "move on out." His tone was abrasive and there was not even a hint of courtesy. Please keep in mind that we had waited to be seated too, once we were seated the waitress did quickly ask for our order but when we asked for a "few more minutes" we ended up waiting almost 15 to get her back to the table. The food was also slow to come out. What I'm saying is that we weren't dilly-dallying and holding up progress. We were at the table a good 30 minutes with no food. We had been at the table about 1 hr and 15 min when the "gentleman" essentially kicked us out. About 40% of that time was waiting on his restaurant to serve us. Two of us were still eating when he asked us to leave! I understand that small restaurants need a turnover but there's a polite way to encourage your guests to finish up and there's this "gentleman's" way. Both my brother and father, the two we were celebrating today, were disgusted by this "gentleman's" behavior and told me that they would never come back here. A lovely meal ruined by a crabby ol' man with a sharp tounge.

Went here for Sunday brunch about a week ago. The food was pretty good but the service was a quite slow. We waited about fifteen minutes just to order. For what it is, I think it's a bit overpriced. I probably won't return.
(3)Abhishek G.
food-average at best ,wife had pancakes-dry and chewy,I had a chicken sandwich-atleast 2 day old ciabatta roll and loads of olive oil dressing in the sandwich.say whattt??saving grace-fries! That speaks for itself. service-POOR.we stood 15 mins to be seated while atleast 7-8 tables were empty.the server (who was doubling, tripling as other roles) chose to clean the tables before leading us to our table, which by the way didn't need clean up.Absent minded or plain insensitive? We almost left because of the server's attitude.
(2)Robert T.
This is a hidden gem. I would recommend you get here a little early because the place is small, but if you have to wait a little it is worth it. Priced very fair and the menu is great, not overloaded with too many items. Give it a try you will be pleased.

I'm not even a Pittsburgh native, and plan to move back to Philadelphia soon....but the thought of having to leave Cafe on Main makes my decision that much harder. I don't think I've ever liked a breakfast/cafe more. And trust me, breakfast food is definitely my thing. It's not only their fresh, huge, amazing omelets with the best cheeses and vegetable combos you could imagine. It's not there perfect breakfast potatoes or complimentary mimosas, or delicious ciabatta toast. It's not because it's one of the few breakfast places in Pittsburgh to serve Eggs Benedict, which is on my list of top five favorite meals. Actually, those all definitely add to it. But really it's just one of those places that I don't think I'd ever mind waiting, or sitting by the door when the dining room is too full. It's got character and you can tell everyone who works there seems proud to, even if there a little stressed out from a Sunday crowd.
(5)Andy R.
Great food and nice atmosphere. The wait staff is very nice and take care of you. The pancakes and sausages are awesome.
(5)Kate S.
Excellent Eggs Benny! This place is family run and the have specials everyday. The free mimosa was a nice bonus as well (I believe this is only on Sundays). My husband had a chorizo omelet that was made perfectly. We also loved the hotcakes! We got there at 8:30 (also a nice bonus that they open early on weekends) and parking is free and easy. It was so much fun to find a new breakfast place --I love Pamela's, but it was fun to switch it up and visit cute Sharpsburg. They are located really close to Bona Terra (another gem that I'd like to try).
(5)Dee C.
I especially love the italian omelette. Nutella and banana pancakes are delish. So they mix the banana with the pancake and cook it as such and generously drizzle Nutella on the top most pancake. Also the French toast is good but I was kind of sad I didn't see the Brie and peach option on the menu :(. It was good too. Even without he aforementioned. I haven't been able to walk since 3 hrs ago so hope you have good food coma pills handy. Try it out. I always do take out.
(4)Josie G.
Used to love this place, and went almost every week. About two months ago the service got really slow on weekends. There would be a huge line and open tables, but the tables took 20-30 minutes to get bussed. For a small place, that needs to be taken care of a lot quicker. The food also went down hill. One time, both of our orders had 2 cold potato pancakes and 2 warm ones. The eggs Benedict specials were always my favorite, until the eggs started to be cooked poorly. Last week I actually got sick after. I would still go there for pancakes and scrambled eggs, but nothing else. The people are super nice, but too slow and too few staff on weekends.
(3)Brian K.
Nice service, decent price, very good food ! Gotta love the well run family resturants, they have a personal feel to them.
(4)Chris H.
Service sucked. Manager too busy with cross word puzzle. Food has been better. Omelet was dry.
(2)Amy W.
We went to Pittsburgh this summer for a few days to visit relatives, and we found this breakfast place. We loved it so much that we went back every day we were in town. Excellent food, great service, and an all around great time.
(5)sarah k.
I was super disappointed by this place. We got there and there were plenty of 4 top tables available, but since we were a table of 5 and their 6 top tables were taken we had to wait. Even though they could have easily pushed 2 of the 4 top tables together. I understand they'd rather not waste a 2nd table, but there were 4 or 5 empty tables, so it didn't make a lot of sense (and there were still empty tables when we left). They finally squeezed all 5 of us onto a 4 top, which was fine, but sort of awkward. Following this, they didn't take our order for more than 15 minutes, even though they really weren't very busy. These were both mildly annoying and I wouldn't have thought anything more about it, but the worst part is that they included the gratuity and made it a presumptuous 20%, which was sort of the end for me. I'd been there once before with a party of 6 and they did not include the gratuity then (which is usually the minimum for when they'll include gratuity, but is still traditionally only 18%). I think they assumed we were unhappy and wanted to make sure they still got a tip (which we would have, but the whole point of a tip is for service. Had I known you could just add your own, I would have done that a lot more when I was a waitress). I just thought the entire visit was rude and left a bad taste in my mouth. They made a point of saying "please come back again" when they gave us our check, but frankly I'm not sure why I would. The food was good, but then there are plenty of other breakfast places with good food that have far better and friendlier service.

Had breakfast there today and it was fantastic. Great Food with unique selection of omelets, nice portions, wonderful service, friendly staff, not too loud (but it was full), plenty of parking on the weekend. I have found the best spot for breakfast without paying a lot for a fancy brunch. I would go back there anytime.

I happened upon this charming little cafe when I used to live near and shop in Sharpsburg quite a bit. I am always attracted to a good Main Street! The first time I walked into the dining area I was struck by the neat, simple, colorful decor and various pieces of original art on display. The dining area is separated from the walk-up service bar, so diners are blissfully unaware of the churning in-and out traffic of Main Streeters and other locals dropping by for coffee fixes and take-out pick-ups. Cafe On Main's menu is a lovely mix of salads, sandwiches and wraps, with delightful home-made dressings and in-house roasted corned beef on the reuben and in the Irish Omelet. This artisan quality food proves that attention to detail makes all the difference in a fast-paced world, and that quality needn't be sacrificed for quickness. Breakfast and Lunch are served daily, with an extensive menu of daily specials that are terrific and tantalizing additions to the staple menu. Most breakfasts are served with toasted foccacia, which is a treat in and of itself. I also enjoyed that while this cafe hosts quite a number of professional diners on lunch breaks, they always take the time to make sure that my child is having a good time and enjoying her meal. They even have a cache of toys and coloring books to keep little ones patient. The service is friendly and does a great job of anticipating needs without being pushy. They truly exceed expectations and it is my privelege to recommend this restaurant.
(5)Tom K.
We've really enjoyed food I've had here - specifically the fresh peaches & cream hotcakes and the grits! However, the small cafe charm ends there as the service has been very poor 3 of the 4 times we've been there. We've basically stopped going as it was just too frustrating.
