Little City Coffee — Restaurant in Monongahela

Second visit: See the photos. The coffee remains great and the staff superb. But what is the deal with toddlers running all over the place? It was happening again and the parents were constantly telling them don't pull this, don't touch that, that's going to fall, etc. It's surreal. This was early afternoon on a Friday.

It's also gross that there are dirty kids food bowls and blackened banana peels just left on tables to rot next to a toy plastic snake. Who wants to buy a coffee and sit around a table littered with half-eaten kids food? The parents need to be more responsible and clean up after their kids. It's rude to the owners and other patrons not to do so. I like the place. I love the coffee. I wish it were a little more adult and less daycare. I'm confused.

FIRST VISIT: I want to give it 5 stars because I initially loved the shop and the coffee. However, the night I visited was an all you can eat pizza and coffee event. It started off ok but then the place was taken over and I mean taken over by families with toddlers. Suddenly, the serene vibe that's typical of coffee shops was shattered with screaming, crying, toys being thrown all over the place, kids falling off chairs and parents putting them in time out. There were a lot of kids in this little shop, like 7. It was very odd. You couldn't hear the music anymore over the screaming, crying and parents trying to rationalize with toddlers. Maybe they're related to the owners because the toddlers were behind the counter at times. I'll give it another chance because it's cool but I noticed when the kids and parents came in, many of the adults with laptops, books and such left. Seems you want that crowd since they buy the coffee,...

When I am in the Monongahela area this is always my go-to cafe in the area to get some good coffee. The menu has lots to offer and there is always seasonal or special drinks. They also have bagels, pastries, and other sweets. I usually get something new every time but so far I have liked almost everything i have gotten so far. There is also bags of different coffee bean roasts along with other drink related items like mugs and honeys. All the prices are reasonable. The vibe is warm and comfy to sit around, talk, read, or play board games. We usually stay for a while if we have the time. The staff are always super nice and accommodating to requests or questions. Everything is clean and tidy. They take cash and card. There is no parking lot but there is...

This place is great. Everyone should go here all the time. So cute and fun, and an awesome place to hang out or work. Coffee was amazing, honestly some of the best I've had anywhere. It would be a great place to hang out with friends (they have puzzles and a ton of games/board games for you to play) and also seemed to be pretty kid friendly. (They had children's books on the shelves...May have had some kids games but not sure) Also great for anyone who needs a quiet place to work or have a meeting. If I lived in the area I would be there all the time--absolutely would be my go-to spot. Will look forward to...
