LaBella Bean Coffee House & Eatery — Restaurant in Bridgeville

Finally got a chance to return to LBB and indulge in their HUGE beef, cheese and horseradish mayo on a crusty bun sandwich. As DEEEELISHUSSS as ever and that mayo really sneaks up behind your eyes and hits you!!! GREAT!!! The bench outside was an interesting presentation. Last year the "fellow" was (I called him GEORGE as he looked like a guy I know) someone I almost talked to but I guess he caught the bus. This year it's two senior ladies having a chat. TERRIFIC!!! My comments from last year remain unchanged. If you are travelling through the Pittsburgh area on I-79 you REALLY MUST stop here in BRIDGEVILLE and treat yourself to a comfortable, cozy local coffee shop which has been family-owned for 27 or so years!!! You LUCKY LOCALS!!!!! If you are driving it will be a delightful reward before or after the chariot races of crazy drivers through Pittsburgh or entering the mountains. A vast food menu for breakfasts, salads, sandwiches and lots more. And coffee which actually tastes like the real thing and not the watered down stuff at food chains. If it's nicer weather maybe buy a coffee for the traveler outside on the sidewalk bench and chat with him for awhile!

AN ADDENDUM: I was through here again this past week and stopped in to have a FABULOUS beef and cheese sandwich. One of the best I have had ...served on a crusty bun and with a nice (and unexpected!!!) KICK of horseradish which was lovely!!! ( I will ask for extra next time !!!) The sandwich was both lunch and dinner later on!!! Delicious LATTE to...

Have been thinking over this review for a while to try to sort out my thoughts on it. The shop is right next door to a place I get my nails done. I have stopped in on two occasions to grab coffee and breakfast before my nail appointments. Both times I arrived 30 mins before my nail appointment and both times ordered a hot latte and a sausage, egg and cheese on a bagel, not a big order. The first time, I got my coffee but had to wait another 25 minutes for my sandwich to be done. They completely forgot about my sandwich, causing me to be late to my nail appointment. While at my appointment, I was urged to give them another try. Upon my second attempt here, I got the same thing. My latte didn’t take too long, but my breakfast sandwich was forgotten about again. It was funny too because both times the staff of girls came out, looked me dead in the eye, and then went back to the back. The second time the one younger girl was too concerned with counting her tips, then to ask me if I had gotten everything I needed. Seems like all the employees want to just sit and talk rather than make breakfast sandwiches. Safe to say they fooled my not only once, but twice, and I will not be returning. The only reason I gave 2 stars was because a girl (not the tippper-counter) was kind enough to give me a pastry item to go as well. Safe to say, I will never...

I found the espresso here sub-par to the quality of other coffee shops in town. The servers did not understand questions related to making different espresso drinks (e.g., different proportions of milk to espresso), so I decided to get just espresso. I asked for a double shot and got a single. The espresso itself had a very light body and mild taste. When I asked for heavy cream or half and half, I was told there was only creamer, giving the impression of limited milk options. Overall, this visit was a big disappointment, but I will add that their coffee cake was good.

Per the owner's response, it appears my experience was due to a training issue. Because of the owner's explanation, I have decided to re-edit my review so it is not as harsh and to add more detail of my experience so they understand where their servers lack knowledge. I may be back here again if I am in the area to see if they have improved. I appreciate the owners are paying attention and care about the quality...
