| - This place has got all the basics down pat...great coffee, espresso drinks, good service, free wifi, a clean and inviting atmosphere for chatting or working, and shaded outdoor seating. It's the less hipster (and, ironically, the original) version of Commonplace Voluto -- not surprisingly, considering its location.
But to me, the real draw of this coffeeshop (and its sister location), the thing that sets it apart from other great coffeeshops like Espresso A Mano and Big Dog Coffee, are its BAKED GOODS. Drew's Pie Supply, you have got major talent. Your baked goods are better than almost any others I can find anywhere in Pittsburgh, actual "bakeries" included. Inventive and creative, always delicious. I have yet to try an item I didn't love. Grapefruit vanilla bean muffins? OMG. Parmesan black pepper scones? Sign me up! Spicy chocolate cookies? How did you know that chocolate and spiciness are two of my favorite things?
Ok, seriously, there are times when I don't need coffee at all but I'll come here for one just so I can pick up a baked good... or two... or three.
