CTR is your Pittsburgh-local Starbucks alternative. They roast their own beans which is great, but my own impression is that they've been at it for so long that they're stuck in the prescribed-profile roasting philosophy. That may be a misconception, but when/wherever I see a Dark Roast option, I get that impression. Plus, they seem to be roasting in larger bulk that I would expect one to be able to produce using a true-to-bean method.
[Stepping down off my coffee high horse] This location in particular is a great stop if you're racing out of Pittsburgh on Penn Ave trying to hit the turnpike before rush hour or waiting for your wife to finish her business at Anthropologie [ you know, like you do ].
