Mattress Factory Café

AMAZING. I was so happy with the avocado and tomato toast (it had a drizzle of honey on top) and the banana walnut bread (came with honey maple cream cheese and fruit). It was honestly such a healthy and delicious brunch and the cheerful ambience of the café is also quite exquisite. Definitely want to come here again.

I tried the veggie chili at the Unilocal bash. So tasty! I will be back for more!

Stop in here after checking out the museum exhibits or just stop in for a cup of coffee, avocado toast, and relaxing atmosphere. Tables are plenty big to get some work done, so it is a great place to meet up for business, as well as pleasure.

Delicious food and happy people. Split the quinoa salad and a black bean burger with a friend — both were yummy! You could see the beans in the burger and it had fresh sliced avocados making it even yummier! Vegetarian chili was also very tasty. I’ve been to hundreds of museum cafes all over the world, this is one of the best. Fresh, real food.

Great iced tea! Helpful staff but not overly friendly. I would suggest sitting outside! It is was just lovely out on the patio!

Passionfruit + coconut + cupcake = decadent mouth party
That is exactly what happened when I tried that delicious treat after my tour of the Mattress Factory one afternoon. The passionfruit frosting was one of the most delicious creations my taste buds have ever witnessed. On top of that it was beautifully presented and the café is quaint and lovely.

Finally a museum café that doesn’t have pedestrian chicken fingers and fries.
After spending nearly two-​and-​a-​half hours in the museum, my friend and I were ready for some food. We decided to see what the café had and were impressed. I had the day’s quesadilla which had smoked trout, scallions, and horseradish cheese. My tastebuds were thrilled. The field greens salad was also a delight.
I am sure I could have easily paid more than $ 10 for the same meal at any other museum café. Worth every penny. And those pennies saved can be used to buy something at the gift located right next to the café.

I’m so jazzed about this café I could yell from rooftops. Located in the lobby of a Pittsburgh must-​see, Mattress Factory Art Museum, this tiny café is a hidden treasure in a building already chock full of wonders.
The day’s menu featured a fig and cheese quesadilla that was surprisingly delightful and unnerving and a bargain at $ 6.95. It came with a side of a wacky hybrid orzo/​couscous pasta with a dream inducing nutty flavor.
The field greens were fresh and bright and the soup was stupendous if not on the cool side. It’s really hard to get over the prices. A soup/​salad combo is about 5 bucks which is unheard of for a museum and anywhere really.
Coffee is rich and strong and service was just icing on our little cake.
I will make it a point to eat here even if I don’t go into the museum. Mmmm, I drool at the memory.
