Geppetto is hands down my favorite crepe place. The food is phenomenal, the drinks are delicious, and the staff is so friendly. Its a cute little place that is always worth the wait. I like to go around the 11 oclock hour since the wait is usually pretty short then. I definitely recommend the Gone Fishing savory crepe, La Pistache (MY FAVORITE!!!) sweet crepe, and a London Fog drink! Often, I split a few crepes with my best friend so we get to try a few extra each time we come! You wont regret that order at all!

Cute cafe with affordable prices. The brunch tasted great as well as the tea and coffee we ordered. They have a variety of different buckwheat crepes, waffles and French toast with delicious gruyere. We waited some time to be seated as it was a busy day, but it was well worth it. The seating area is artsy and fun with books hanging from the ceilings and other colorful decorations. The staff was friendly and food was served quickly.

Great place for breakfast or lunch! Awesome french toast and crepe options as well as sandwiches and salads. The coffee was amazing too. It gets very crowded so expect a wait, but its definitely worth it!

I never heard of this place but I’m a huge fan of s’mores french toast. This place did NOT let me down. I’ll definitely be returning! Granted, it’s small in there but it’s a nice atmosphere. Friendly staff & very professional.

Average crepes, good lattes. They don’t have crepes that will make me come back but overall I had an enjoyable time eating here. I do think if the owners put more effort into their crepes they could have great success. There isn’t much crepe competition in Pittsburgh.

This was hands down the best french toast I have ever had in my life!

Can Pepsi 2.00, small orange juice 2.50, tea 2.50. We waited over an hour for food because who ever owns this place thinks 35 tables should only have one tiny 20 inch grill and one crepe disk to make every single order. There was a 45 minute wait just to get a table and the waitress was near topless. If I come eat, especially with my wife, I dont need to see inappropriatly clothed female waitresses everytime I want something. The waitress also took almost 30 minutes just to bring me my BOTTLE of orange juice. The food was subpar at best, cold, and stale.

The food here is excellent. The servers are very friendly and nice. The cafe has an interesting vibe. Pinocchio, books, artwork for sale... but the main attraction are the crepes. I had the smoked salmon as well as the chicken with gruyere cheese.. absolutely incredible. Will definitely return.

We went Saturday morning around noon and waited about 15 minutes before being seated outside. They took our number and called us when the table was available.The staff was very friendly. We ordered a savory ham and cheese crepe and sweet banana dulce de leche crepe as well as an iced coffee. The ham and cheese crepe was good, love gruyere cheese. The sweet crepe was interesting. There was nothing inside, everything was on the top.Crepes were alright, wouldn’t go back. It’s a cute spot in Lawrenceville.

Very very unique experience in this cafe! Not many places have books, puppets, and green foliage hanging from the ceiling, AND also serve amazing breakfast! 😍If you are looking for good crêpes, like super good 😌, this is the place to go. With so many different varieties of crêpes and so many options for toppings, you really can’t go wrong with anything you order!Our order for DRINKS: 2 London fogs (one hot, one cold)Our order for BREAKFAST: the Geppetto signature (crêpe plate with sautéed caramelized apples, cream cheese glaze, and topped with cinnamon & caramel sauce 🤩🤩) and the Nutella Classic (obviously Nutella, strawberries, banana, and chocolate sauce! 😋)Both amazing choices! They are known for their signature crêpe plate because of those apples with the cream cheese glaze… yummmmm.And finally, our order for SIDES: eggs 🍳 and bacon 🥓👌I will also add that I was very impressed with our server! She was very timely and attentive to us! 🤗I would suggest going in the mornings when they open. That’s when we went, but by the time we were heading out they were getting pretty busy!Peep 👀 these photos for some yummy food, tasty drinks, and “It’s GOOD!” faces 😬

Theres some interesting food here with the crepes and challah french toast. Many of the items are a bit too sweet for my tastes but I enjoyed the savory panini and toast options. Unfortunately, you have to hit the perfect amount of each ingredient in each bite of a sandwich to balance the strong sweet and savory flavors between the french toast and ham. The ham was also not great on its own when it was overwhelming the bite.

The food was great, the service was great, it was worth the wait. The savory crepe we ordered was fantastic but I felt the sweet crepe was very rich and difficult for me to finish.

Absolutely WONDERFUL!Favorite breakfast for our weekend in Pittsburgh. There was nothing on the menu that didn’t look good and made it so hard to decide what to order. Our group of 5 all raved about our food and service the whole weekend. 100000 stars if I could!! Go here!!!

A fantastic spot for breakfast or brunch. Definitely try an ice-ice baby or sriracha chicken panini. The coffee is locally roasted as well! Fantastic owners and staff, all around a great place to start your day.

A really quaint cafe, really friendly and helpful staff. Our server was nice, kept checking on us to make sure we had all we needed, and really timely. The food was delicious too, we had the prosciutto crepe which was to die for, as well as the tiramisu waffle. Highly recommend, and cant wait to try it out again some time!

Review №25

They bring your drink orders out in fun unique mugs, and the drinks are delicious! The real star of the show are the crepes, though -- its hard to make a well-balanced dessert crepe in my opinion, because they can easily go overboard on the chocolate and make it too rich to eat as your first meal of the day (imo), but every time I get the Nutella crepe it is the perfect ratio of fruit to chocolate, which keeps it from being too heavy. Theyre absolutely delicious and I cant wait to go back!

Review №26

Great breakfast/brunch spot! We were greeted by very friendly staff as we walked into the door! The dishes were solid except for my veggie crepe(would have loved for the spinach sautéed instead of raw). Nevertheless, I still give it an overall 5 star!

Review №30

My husband loved his crepe. My chef salad was a bit unconventionally made but tasty. I ordered toast with it as it didnt come with any bread or roll. Interesting looking place. It was a bit odd that a second waitress kept asking if our orders were taken even though she wasnt our primary server. It got a bit annoying after a while. Id go back easily.

Review №31

Cute place with good food. I had the prosciutto crepe and my wife had a salad. The service is a little off. One waitress took our drink order and the second waitress came by a moment later to ask of we ordered drinks. Same thing happened when ordering lunch! They need a little bit more organization. But at least we had service, which is more than I can say about some other places weve been!

Review №33

I love this place! it has such a wide variety of food and everything seemed to taste amazing. there was such flavoring in everything, it is also very reasonably priced. the food is also very fresh. the only thing is that the panini was a little too small (i was expecting it to be bigger) and the salad had no dressing. i also sampled the pumpkin ice cream and it was so creamy and good! def coming back to get some more~ the place inside is also decorated in such a cute fashion. highly recommend this place

Friendly service with a different take on my morning meal! Geppettos is sure to please and features LaPrima coffee in addition to sweet or savory crepes, waffles and French toast. We each chose the Bonjour crepe served with bacon, a shot glass full of real maple syrup and the fruit cup. The brie cheese subtly complemented the scrambled eggs within the crepe and made for a nice, filling breakfast.

One of my favorite breakfast spots in Pittsburgh! Super affordable and everything is delicious. My favorites are the croque madame French toast and the house of crepes. Also all of their drinks are super tasty (see mocha in photo)

Review №42

One of those places where, from the smell alone, you know youve picked the right place. The crepe I had was wonderful, not so thin than it was hard to eat but definently thinner than a flapjack. They were nice, fluffy and light and the fruit was very fresh. Quick service, especially since the bar kitchen is in the front space of the restaurant so you can see the food being prepared.

Love this place, delicious food and friendly staff. Wish they where open latter.Most of the places do not have a changing table for babies... I am a regular customer and they notice that they needed one and next time I came they proudly said that now they owned one and was the best thing they could do. Very happy customer.

We visited the cafe on Valentine’s Day morning before we left the city. The cafe was cute, had its on vibes, older style aesthetics. Our server Juan was great! He was very friendly and checked back with us many times! Which I love from a server. The workers seemed to be working well together and as a team, we had another kind server deliver our food. The food was good. The menu had a wide selection and the servings were huge. I saw this from someone’s else post and I would agree, the coffee was okay.

I’m so glad this was the place we ate at before we left Pittsburgh. Put the cherry on top to my whole experience while I was visiting the city. The cafe is so nice and comfy. The people are so kind. And the food is so delicious. I ended up purchasing one of the paintings on the walls and even downloaded the playlist that was playing. We ordered some crepes and my fave was the Tiramisu crepe. 1000% recommend this place.

My friends and I are visiting Pittsburgh and we found this place from Google Maps. The food, atmosphere, and server were all wonderful! I ordered the grilled chicken and gruyere cheese crepe with the spicy sauce (not too spicy, definitely acceptable for a non-spicy food lover) with a side of fruit and earl grey tea. This was probably by far the BEST savory crepe that Ive eaten. The aesthetics were Instagram worthy and cute (pictured below). I wish this was down the street from where I live! I would love to come here again in the future if I ever return to Pittsburgh.

A truly charming brunch spot in Pittsburgh. The service staff was excellent, we barely had to wait longer than 5 minutes on a Saturday morning, and everything was reasonably priced. You cant go wrong with anything on the menu. My friend and I ordered one savory (Pesto Chicken Panini) and one sweet (Nutella Crepes) and split it to get best of both worlds. So yummy! Also, if youre a coffee guru, try the Turkish coffee; it is so rich and dark.

If you are in the area, go here for brunch or lunch. The food was amazing, the service was excellent, and the people in general that were around us were great!

I really love the Crepe here. I ordered strawberry with chocolate which tastes very fantastic! But it is hard to find a parking lot in this neighborhood. We spent around 30 minutes to find a space. We went here during work day so there were only few people.
