It has been quite a while since I stopped in here and the first thing to greet me was "Chatty cupcakes" Pittsburgh's first ATM cupcake machine! Unlike Sprinkles which I have visited out of town this kiosk shows you individual wrapped cupcakes or you can purchase a small box of them. You press a button and the available flavors light up Prices range from $3.50-$4.00 on individual cupcakes. You can pay with cash or card and the machine "serves up" your cupcake. There is a contact number on the side of it in case you encounter problems. I wasn't in the mood to try them yet but will be back to purchase one. Looking it up on the web they are a made to order bakery in Waynesburg, PA and this machine is their "storefront." It also appears they do everything online. From what I'm seeing this online bakery is pretty pricey but will definitely try one of their cupcakes on a future visit.
On to the mall itself. This Mall contains some of the better stores you would normally find at Ross Park Mall and or Shadyside. I noticed that the Yard restaurant will be coming here but don't know where they plan to place it. Other food offerings are Mitchell's. Houlihan's, BRGR, Panera Bread, and Starbucks to name a few. There are some upscale shopping such as Footloose and Williams Sonoma-separately reviewed and some affordable places like Charming Charlie's. One of its perks is that it has an underground garage and a multiplex cinema on the 2nd floor. There are kid related stores as well.
Located at the corner of Washington and Gilkeson Roads I normally don't come here unless there is something specific I need or want to dine at one of their restaurants.
For more information on the cupcake ATM just search for it online under its name Chatty cupcakes.
