The tl;dr version of this review: darn good coffee + lots of windows + reading room/nook. Out once more on the quest to find new coffee haunts around the 'Burgh, I made my way up to Troy Hill to check out Pear and the Pickle. I was pleasantly surprised to find a beautiful area with lots of space and tables of all sizes to choose from. I enjoyed a Stumptown (!!) coffee in addition to a breakfast sandwich, which was made to order on a Mancini's bun with crisp bacon, egg, and a generous slice of pepper jack cheese. Service was not the most welcoming to start (hence the 4 stars), but I did receive an apology for the wait on the breakfast sandwich--though I gotta say, it was just about worth it. The market portion is cute and could be handy to pick up any pantry staples you might be short on. This would be a nice spot to meet friends for breakfast or lunch, and I hope to come back soon to do just that.
