Incredible - Edit
Pastries and bread are amazing, particularly the cinnamon roll. Also great sandwiches (super filling!) and they often have rebel cheese and house made spreads in cold case! Always look forward to going when I’m in town

Best Bakery in the Steel City - Edit
Dang. I wish we had come here every day of our trip. So many delish pastries, massive sammiches, tons of variety, & locally inspired Eastern European noms. The “Brookie” cookie was maybe the most delicious cookie I have ever eaten. The breakfast sammie was the size of my head, but I still wolfed it down in like 5 minutes. The cinnamon roll was made with light & flaky layers like a croissant!! Really wanted to go back to try the focaccia, bialy, & rugelach.
Read moreThey also have a lil fridge of to-go picnic snackies like fancy vegan cheeses & homemade dips & spreads to pair with their many amazing loaves of bread.
No indoor seating available, so be prepared to sprawl out in the nearby park, or take it home.
Would also love to get an espresso machine up in this joint, but they do have drip coffee to go.
Pros: Top notch pastries, Giant portion sizes, All vegan & tons of variety
Cons: No seating, No espresso (but they do have drip), Closes early

Obsessed with the seitan melt - Edit
I’m obsessed with the seitan melt at Allegro! It is absolutely delicious. Everything here is vegan, and all their pastries are amazing. You cannot go wrong with any choice!

Fantastic goodies! - Edit
Got a plain croissant and apricot rugelach to eat—both excellent and well-priced! Non-veg partner said he wouldn’t know that croissant was vegan if he wasn’t told… super flaky! We also had coffee with oat milk 👍

This is a great bakery with some options for breakfast and lunch. The bakery case is a feast for the eyes. Everything was delicious! Staff was great and happy to pack stuff in my containers to limit packaging. I will definitely return again.

The best vegan bakery and sandwich shop in Pittsburgh - Edit
Every bite of their delicious sandwiches, pastries or bread is simply a joy.
Read moreI recommend seitan sandwich ( shaved and roasted seitan with oat cheese, red onions, pickles, roasted tomatoes, sauerkraut and toum). It's an excellent mixture of flavors.
Mushroom sandwich shares almost same ingredients with seitan one. Everything on a fresh seeded whole wheat bread. It's incredibly tasty.
Avocado sandwich is mild but also yummy. Same seeded wheat bread with mixed vegetables, cucumber, red onion, Toum, Tahiti and Shiitake bacon.
As a dessert we tried apricot and chocolate rugelaches. They can't be more delicious 😋.

Get one of everything! - Edit
Allegro is top quality. Everything, and I mean everything, is delicious!
Read moreAs an out of town visitor, this is one of the places you will lament not being in your own city.
Try the breakfast sandwich and an assortment of bakery items if you don’t know where to start.
Just note: this is not dine-in. There’s a park up the street where you can sit outside on a nice day.
Pros: Sandwiches , Cinnamon rolls, Baked goods

An absolute gem. - Edit
My wife and I live in California and make a few trips a year to Pittsburgh to visit friends and family. Any time we are in town, making the drive to Allegro is a definite must. I can’t say we have ever had anything from Allegro we didn’t love (and felt the same way when their sister restaurant B52s was around). Our go-to’s are the seitan melt, breakfast sandwich, apple galette, cinnamon rolls, rugelach, cookies…honestly, you name it, it’s probably great. I seriously can’t recommend Allegro enough. One of the best vegan spots I’ve ever been to.

Superb little Bakery/Cafe - Edit
If you’re ever in Pittsburgh make sure you visit this amazing little cafe! The food is awesome—we ordered a Seitan Melt and Mushroom Melt on Sourdough bread and they were both so delicious! The flavors were really good and the portions are huge! You could probably share one sandwich with another person. We didn’t get any of their baked goods but everything looked really tasty. The only downside is that there’s zero seating and we didn’t know so we had to eat in our car. The food comes wrapped in foil and it can get messy! Still, this place was a 10/10!
Read morePros: Friendly staff , Nice variety of sweet and savory foods
Cons: No seating whatsoever , Metered street parking only , Long wait time when they’re busy

We were in town during Purim and had preordered hamantaschen from Allegro and it was incredible. We also tried some sandwiches off the menu that was so good. This is a place you have to try!

Fresh & Authentic - Edit
What a gem of a find in Pittsburgh! From ULTRA FRESH croissants, chocolate croissants, raspberry and chocolate rugelach, blueberry danish, tofu sandwich on homemade sourdough, a reuben-esque recreation and a breakfast sandwich with inhouse chickpea tofu slices and homemade sausage. Happy, friendly, welcoming staff with smiles to greet you and the fresh bread aromas fill the entry. Beautiful Eastern European neighborhood just a stone's throw (or drive as you may) from Carnegie Mellon and the University of Pittsburgh. Go early to ensure they don't sell out of your favorites!

Best cinnamon roll ever - Edit
So so so good. The cinnamon roll is to die for, best I’ve ever had. I’ve heard high praise for the sandwiches and can’t wait to try them. I wasn’t blown away by the chocolate chip cookie but the chocolate itself was fantastic.

Lovely little bakery with lots of nice options; enjoyed their sweet baked goods more than their savory, but didn’t get a chance to try their sandwiches (which I will next time!)

A must-stop in Pittsburgh - Edit
I stopped here a few years back and had their pastries. They were delicious, by the way - but I was never able to come for a proper lunch. I hear recommendations for them often, but don’t often make the journey to Squirrel Hill from where I live in the South Hills. Today, the stars aligned and my schedule allowed me to come in and try a sandwich.
Read moreI ordered the seitan melt, and it. Was. Life-changing. Quite frankly, I’m not sure how their grassroots, word-of-mouth notoriety is even possible, because once you bite into one of these sandwiches, you will be too busy stuffing it into your mouth as quickly as your body will allow you to chew. In my eyes, this is a sandwich anyone would love, whether they are vegan, vegetarian, or omni.
There are a lot of cuisines that are easy to adapt when you give up animals: Thai, Indian, and Mexican are all easy enough to veganize with delicious results. One thing that is difficult to find: A good, old-fashioned sandwich. I’m so happy I gave Allegro a try, and will absolutely be back to try other items on their menu.

Pros: Lots of options, both sweet and savory, A cold case with condiments and vegan cheese, Wonderful staff and a welcoming atmosphere
Cons: Although portions are generous, it’s a bit pricey, Selfishly, I wish they had a south hills location, Wait time(but worth the wait)

BUSY. No where to sit, barely anywhere to stand even. Got some little deli fridge items like hummus and cashew cheese, as well as a breakfast sandwich that kicked ass. Delightful and friendly staff.

Had some great sandwiches (seitan melt and breakfast at sandwich) at allegro bakery and was surprised at how filling they were! I wanted to try all the breads and baked goods, would go back if in Pittsburgh again. Also really enjoyed the chocolate chip tahini pistachio cookie, thick crunchy cookie with just enough chew. Best vegan cookie we tried in Pittsburg so far.

Frequent breakfast - Edit
Allegro Hearth is so good I end up there at least a few times a month. The pastries are to die for, their breakfast sandwiches slap, their soups are great, everything they offer has been truly incredible. This place really proves that pastries can be made fully vegan without any loss of flavor, and arguably better than non vegan versions.

Pros: Everything

Everything is amazing!! - Edit
I had the seitan melt and it was the best sandwich I've ever had. I've been a vegan for 37 years. I'm originally from Pittsburgh area and I can't wait to go back again when I visit in a few weeks. Everything about the sandwich was perfect, the shears, the vegan cheese, the seitan was the best I've ever had as well, the pickles. The cinnamon roll was fabulous. It was so big, it took me all day to eat and I shared bites with family.The lamination in the roll and in the blueberry danish was unbelievable. The cinnamon roll was caramelized on the bottom which made it even dreamier. I also had a chocolate chunk cookie that was amazing.
Read morePros: Seitan, Bread, Cinnamon roll
Cons: It was perfect. I can't wait to go back.
