Bittersweet at the Falls — Restaurant in Ohiopyle

I eat at Bittersweet every chance I get. Listen, you’ll never go there and get your food and drink in ten minutes or less. It’s not fast food! The owners, the staff, the ambience, the food and the beverages are TOP TIER! It’s going to be a wait especially at peak times and it’s going to be pricey. Do you shop organic? Notice the price tags? It’s not cheap to eat well. At their Farmington location there is a wall dedicated to coupons whereby people donate money for people who can’t afford the full price tag or are just going through it. It’s a beautiful place. It was her mother’s antique shop moons ago and now she’s made it into a warm and cozy place to have gourmet meals made with love. The Ohiopyle location is only open wkds in the warmer months and if there is a festival. It will always be a little slower as there’s usually only one to two ppl there. It’s all that can fit tbh. Always worth the wait...

We went on Saturday May 23rd, 2020, which was Memorial Day Saturday. The place had a crazy line formed outside, and I half didn't even want to go there. I waited in the line, and it was very much worth it.

The food was great, and the smoothies were just what we needed after cycling the trail. My kids got grilled cheese, which was great. It was two large pieces of bread, lots of shredded cheese, and a panini press. I got avacado toast with an egg, and the egg was from a local farm. Very fresh and perfectly prepared.

The service was excellent, especially considering that they should have been overwhelmed with how many people were there and how long they were waiting.

When we go back to Ohiopyle, this is where we are...

I really wanted to love this cafe as it’s so cute. After having gone twice, I’m not sure I will return. The first time we waited so long for a breakfast burrito that we ended up cancelling the order and leaving. The second time I ordered two coffee drinks and was stunned when the total was $17. Prices aren’t on the menu but I never could’ve imagined it would be so expensive. We also waited an incredibly long time for the coffees. This place has a lot of potential but something has got to be done about the wait times and please post the prices so people know what they are getting themselves into...
