Authentically independent coffee shop featuring strong brews and quick, friendly service. I admire the shop's strong personality (as expressed through dark decor, Giger- and Kahlo-inspired art, and intense metal soundtrack). My favorite aesthetic detail is the iPad register holder/swivel that's made of an animal skull and pipe wrenches. Whether it's your scene or not, we're lucky to have Black Forge in Pittsburgh. I'll go back for sure.
