Tú y Yo Café ® — Restaurant in Indiana Township

Over a bridge and 16 miles later one-way, I arrive at my favorite place in the Burg’ —Tú y Yo Café (Spanish for You and I Cafe) nestled among other small businesses in a tiny strip mall with easy access straight into the cafe.

First, I order the cordatido. It’s espresso with sweetened milk and I crave it between visits! It is my absolute favorite and the only place where I can find a “properly” prepared one in the city. I savor each delectable sip while pondering what to enjoy on the premise and what I’ll take with me to-go later. I commonly see others that do the same as I.

They also offer a Toddy; a non-coffee drink; high-quality tasting chocolate milk with origins in Venezuela. There’s nothing like it!

That’s easy. Now it’s decision making time and it becomes more difficult with each visit. I have my favs, yet the delightful owner Grace continues to expand and offer more delectable items to the menu. So, if you see a menu online, know there are likely more choices! Also, Grace welcomes all questions to aid in making a decision.

I chuckle because each time I visit I hear customers declare, “this is so delicious!” and I mirror their sentiment. Today I begin with something new. It’s a warm, hand held savory that’s delicious on its own. The bread is light with a great texture and inside it’s packed with tasty minced ham. Then, tequenos which come in a set of three. Sticks of warm cheese nestled in a savory dough and they are sooo yummy alone or with some Pico de Gallo sauce. Or, opt for the sweet chocolate hazelnut option.

Generally, I always get a beef empanada in-house or to-go. Upon arriving today the aroma of chicken filled my nostrils as they were preparing to make more chicken empanadas because they sold out. It may sound a little crazy for a less adventurous eater, but, I suspect you’ll fall in love with the delicious taste of a beef empanada without identifying the raisins, capers, and green olives. Oh my. I am salivating just thinking about them right now!

The pan de bono (or pandebono) is made with yuca (not yucca) is also outstanding. The small balls of dough have a texture that is just right and served warm, not too sweet, and lovely with a warm beverage.

The cafe ambiance is airy and cozy with many seating options. There’s a gorgeous colorful mural on one wall, a wall of windows on another packed with a myriad of live plants. Packaged international items are available for purchase throughout the cafe. And, there are always really cool inspirational “trinkets” to consider as well.

If only they were closer to home. Dreaming until...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Tú y Yo Café, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The moment I stepped into the cozy and inviting atmosphere, I knew I had found the perfect spot for my business meeting.

To kickstart my morning, I ordered the scrambled egg arepa, and it exceeded all expectations. The arepa was perfectly cooked, with a fluffy texture and a delightful combination of flavors. The scrambled eggs were light and fluffy, providing a satisfying and protein-packed start to my day.

The chicken and beef empanadas were equally impressive. Each bite was filled with succulent and well-seasoned meat encased in a perfectly crispy shell. The attention to detail in the preparation was evident, as every aspect of the empanadas showcased the culinary expertise of the kitchen.

Accompanying my meal, I enjoyed a cup of their black coffee, which was simply outstanding. The rich aroma and robust flavor of the coffee awakened my senses and provided the perfect boost of energy for my meeting. It was evident that Tú y Yo Café takes great pride in their coffee selection and preparation, as each sip was a delight.

The location itself was ideal for a business meeting. The ambiance was comfortable and conducive to conversation, allowing for a relaxed and productive atmosphere. The staff was friendly, attentive, and respectful of our space, ensuring that we had everything we needed throughout our meeting.

Overall, Tú y Yo Café left a lasting impression on me. The quality of the food, the attention to detail, and the excellent service all contributed to a truly memorable dining experience. Whether you're looking for a delicious breakfast, a quick bite, or a spot to hold a business meeting, Tú y Yo Café is the perfect choice. I highly recommend this charming establishment and look forward to...

Absolutely amazing food and highly reasonable prices! This place is relatively new, but it is some of the best Latin American food I have ever had, even though I didn't order much. It is also family owned and the atmosphere is very cozy.

I ordered the tequeños with hazelnut chocolate spread and the cheese bread (pandebono). The portion of tequeños was more than adequate. These are the perfect sweet treats to satisfy your chocolate or hazelnut craving. The filling is similar to a thick Nutella, but significantly higher in quality. The dough is well made; perfectly crisp, with some softness inside. Reminds me a bit of pain au chocolat but with a very dense, nutty, chocolate center. It's filled to the brim with chocolate, too, and came out perfectly warm.

I have never tried this variety of cheese bread, but it is now one of my go-to Latin American breads. It's chewy from the yucca, which makes for a great texture. You can definitely taste the cheese, too. Great side order, and an awesome size for the price!

I must also comment on the customer service: it was some of the best I've had in a while. The ladies running the restaurant are very friendly and insightful. The service here was more personable and individualized than at even upscale restaurants.

Overall, I will undoubtedly return to Tu y Yo. I love that there is a Latin American cafe near Glenshaw, and the owners are amazing people. Their food is excellent, prices are great, and portions are perfect. Can't wait to reorder the food I had today, and also try out their empanadas as well as other desserts, like...
