I'm kinda chiding myself for not stopping in earlier! Let's blame it on the ultra steep hill next to it. It just drags me down! But this place is a great pick-me-up!
I love the fact that it's a non-profit, so the proceeds go back into the community of Beechview. Great idea, right? And just knowing that concept made me excited! But walking in it doesn't give you a vibe that it's not a fully functioning coffee shop. There's a full menu and even sweet treats!
I was pleasantly surprised to see horchata on the menu. I was excited at the prospect of it being freshly made. Although it's not, I can vouch that it's still pretty good over ice. Add a shot of espresso for a dirty hor (shhh don't tell Mom!).
I love the inviting environment like the chess game that was going on while I was there. Or the bring your own mug shelves. That's right... you can bring and leave your own mug to grab while you sit and relax. I love that personal touch!
Since Sugar closed in Dormont, I was looking for a place to call my "home" coffee shop close to home. This could fill that void finally!
