This place is one of the best coffee shops in Pittsburgh. It has an amazing atmosphere that is very welcoming, including a working fireplace to sit near on cold days. The coffee is as good or better than any corporate chain in the area, and definitely better than the Beehive. If you have any reading or studying to be done, grab a table or a chair and relax. They also have wonderful desserts, a friendly staff, and keep a tidy place. Summer features a nice ( though unfortunately placed right by a shitty building and a dumpster. ) porch area.
