The Spot (Foxchapel-Glenshaw area)
My daughter and I are big fans of acai bowls, and we’ve been to a ton of places that make them. The Spot is the closest one to us, and while their bowls are good, the overall experience could be better. They offer about 3-5 pre-created acai bowls, but I usually go with the build-your-own option. My daughter has her favorite on the menu, though nothing here really stands out compared to other places like Kosta Bowl , which I love.

The prices were extremely reasonable, and the store was nice and clean! I’ll be saving The Spot to my list of favorites in Pittsburgh, and will absolutely stop by again if I’m...
Read moreThe folks that work here are SO NICE!! I got stuck in a snow storm and came in to get out of the cold while waiting for a salt truck. They stayed open late for the people looking to get out of the cold. The young guy and girl working that night were so nice, and understanding! I liked it so much I came back a few days later for some breakfast. THE COFFEE IS SO GOOD! I tried a bowl of oatmeal, so delicious! I showed up one morning before 7am, they did not open, the coffee was still brewing but he made me an espresso anyways! So sweet! The owner is such a nice guy, very welcoming! Great atmosphere the staff here has...
