Reviews
"This is really a gem in the North Side. We had brunch at the restaurant, and I don't think anyone left with an empty stomach. The food was delicious, the drinks were incredible, and the staff was so on top of it and polite!"
"One of the best breakfast meals I’ve ever had in Pittsburgh! Food was seasoned well. Service was pretty good. Great location."
"Friendly place to relax, listening to some excellent Jazz music and have a drink."
"Lovely place for book shopping, hanging out with your friends and have a delicious meal or during from their cafe. We went there to watch a movie downstairs from the City of Assylum program. Will definitely go there again."
"They have an excellent environment whether you’re looking for a special programming, a bookstore, a place to work, or a restaurant - Brugge in North is located at this place. I usually come here when they announce an artist off mainstream and I never leave disappointed."
