I thought everything was pretty average. From the coffee to food to the ambience. It is located in a modern building and the space itself is pretty spacious, but it lacks any character. Think of plane table and chairs. The good thing is, they have power outlets close to quite a few tables, so you can get some work done. I ordered a cappuccino and it again was pretty average. Not sure what the reason was, but the coffee felt quite watered down. I personally like my cappuccinos a little bit stronger. Also, I was hoping they would give me my cappuccino in one of the ceramic mugs since I specifically asked to have it in the cafe, but I guess they use takeaway cups for everybody. I also ordered one of their breakfast sandwiches. It was pretty good. The service was quick and efficient. When I went, it was pretty empty, but then within an hour, it started filling in. This is the solid neighbourhood cafe, which you only visit if you live in the neighbourhood like 61C for squirrel Hill. I wouldn’t go out of my way to...
Read moreFood is great , there is a girl who works the register most mornings who always have the worst attitude! Today I walked in and asked if they had bacon because a couple days ago I tried to order a bacon sandwich she said "we don't got that so..." Like a simple we are out would have did. TODAY , I asked if they were still out she responded with WHAT and rolled her eyes.

I will not be back, I can't deal with people's attitudes for absolutely no reason . Maybe she should work in the boh instead , since she can't seem to smile or ask her customer how they are today . Or better training for her , no customer should feel uncomfortable to eat in the restaurant after a bad experience...
Read moreAs a barista myself, I loved the setup and was pleased with the quality of their espresso machine. I was excited to try their coffee plain, but the barista told me it'd take a little longer to make decaf coffee, so I changed my order to a decaf white mocha. The barista was friendly and polite and let us know he was a little backed up so it'd be a little while. I understood. Looked around and saw the couple that came in before us and three others seated in the cafe. On average, it's two minutes a drink at a casual coffee shop. Waiting didn't bother me. Until we'd been there forty minutes, waiting. Our lattes (both "hot") were between 115-125 degrees, max. Milk is meant to be steamed to 140-150 degrees. I think it's probably just a training issue, but it was hard not to...
