I have fond memories of this place. I was truly introduced to Italian Expresso and dry Italian snack pastries etc. Coming from small town Ohio and moved to the big city of Pittsburgh in the mid 90's I did not understand but got to know their product line. My best friend at the time worked for LPE for about 7-8 years and traveled around to all of their Pittsburgh branches. I have been to them all. Hard working family owned I have a fondness in my heart for this coffee. Ground right when you order. I remember the friends and the family sitting out front until close on a Saturday afternoon parlare italiano in front of the store. K sitting out front with her table of illustrated greeting cards. It was always packed on Saturday. I will probably add an addendum as I remember more.
