So I moved to Pittsburgh 18 days ago, and I am here to admit, I have a serious caffeine addiction. What's more, I have a caffeine addiction and I'm wicked lazy. I've had espresso machines before, I never used them. I have a french press (which I use for brunch) but mostly it collects dust in my cabinet.
So I've been here 18 days and probably 10 (probably more than 10) have been spent with Mr. Cat and Mr. Dog and an iced coffee with a shot of espresso. Why? because I'm lazy (true). Because their iced coffee with a shot of espresso is precisely how I like my coffee? (true) Because they are great guys? (true) because their shop is cute? (true) because it feels like an extension of my kitchen that exclusively makes coffee. Yes. It is all of those things and more. Their shop is the perfect place to just grab a cuppa and hang out, or grab it to go, and it seems highly likely that they will be part of my daily routine.
Mr. Cat and Mr. Dog have gone above and beyond to make me feel completely welcome in the neighborhood and in their shop and have really added to the joy that has been my first few weeks in Pittsburgh. I am very glad they are my neighborhood coffee shop.
