Hot Spot: Bartram House Bakery

This week’s Pittsburgh hot spot is Bartram House Bakery! I love this place so much because their locations have a cozy, authentic feel and great pastries as well as great salads. It is a great place to go for a morning treat, or your lunch meeting. Even if you are feeding a crowd, their quiche is delicious and great for when you are hosting a brunch. When it comes to the sweets, they do custom cakes as well as small treats like French macarons. And just so that you can get your fix no matter where you live in Pittsburgh, they have three locations: Southside, Wexford, and McMurray. They are a family business that was founded in 2008, but they have been baking since 1976. Their business becomes even more impressive when you know they serve three meals a day, and make more than 100 different desserts and cakes! Have you ever been here before? What was your favorite Pastry or dessert? For more info about Bartram House Bakery, check out their website here! http://www.bartramhouseb
