This place is absolutely adorable! It's right up the street from my parents house. Since they opened up last October I make sure to go every time I'm in Pittsburgh.
They refinished this old building so nicely. It's so big inside but they've managed to make it incredibly cozy with all kinds of comfy couches, chairs, and lounge areas. It comes complete with all kinds of historical Ben Avon and Pittsburgh artifacts, including a lot of stuff from the Ben Avon fire department.
It's about time Ben Avon got a place like this, I really wish there were more people inside every day. But there are always at least 4 or 5 people hanging out taking advantage of the free Wi-Fi they offer!
The food I've tried has been good. The chili is BOMB but be careful it's pretty spicy! I also tried the buffalo chicken wrap and enjoyed that. The rice crispy treats are awesome. I don't like coffee so I haven't tried it..but my friend said it wasn't that good. But they have a very wide selection of teas, smoothies, and other coffee drinks.
Everyone that works here is extremely friendly, and if you live in Ben Avon you'll probably know who they are.
There's plenty of books and magazines around if you just want to hang out and read for a while. And a lot of artwork from local artists to look at too! I've also seen that they've brought in musicians and had a book reading there as well.
Seriously, check this gem out! Keep this place running, it's too good for the neighborhood to lose!
