Very very good coffee! Really good food too. Everyone was also super nice. I am visiting from out of town but if I was local this would be my go to spot on the way to work.

My everyday sandwich! If you’ve never been there, then you are missing out. Great food, coffee and the best staff. My 3 yr old grandson demand to stop at the “coffee shop” daily before school.

Visited Pittsburgh after completing the GAP trail. On our way out we wanted something quick, coffee, food and with a cool atmosphere. This place had it all! We got the turkey club sandwich, pesto chicken sandwich and strawberry salad and a white mocha and chai latte with vanilla all were delicious. If we lived here we would be regulars. Also love the community vibe.

My first meal in Pittsburgh, and what a good one! Friendly staff, good wait time, and they know their regulars. Love the decor and the library nook! I had the turkey bacon and egg croissant sandwich and a dirty chai latte. Delightful!

I love this place! I tried it the first time at the recommendation of a coworker and I’m glad I did. I’ve only ever had the food here once, but it was great, and if you don’t eat pork, they’ll typically have turkey substitutes for their dishes. More often than not I get a Carmel late from here nowadays which always hit the spot. I took this pic real quick because I had to get back from my lunch break, but trust me when I tell you this place is amazing.
