CTR has always been one of my favorite coffee shops in Pittsburgh.
The coffee is always fresh and strong. Plus they have some cool unique brews from around the world as well as a plethora of teas.
The atmosphere and service is always great, but the one thing that puts this place over the top is the hours. Unlike many shops that close at 5-6pm, CTR is often open until 11pm, making it a place I frequent for late night work or meet ups with long lost friends. There are plenty of tables plus free wifi!
