My FAVORITE coffee shop in Pittsburgh. It checks all of my coffee shop must-haves.
Good coffee? (Passengers, commonplace, Maquina) - CHECK
Aesthetic? (These guys are into the details, and it pays off. I love the way that they serve pour overs: a mug + glass coffee pitcher served on a personalized wooden tray. Bonus: equals out to 1.5 mugs of coffee.) - CHECK
Good work space? (ample space + WiFi) - CHECK
Out of the box experimental drink options for creative days? - CHECK
Great space to come with a group? (Several "large group seating options) - CHECK
Kind, engaging, helpful staff? - TRIPLE CHECK
You are doing yourself a disservice by not stopping by to check out (or return to) this place. I personally stick to pour over coffee, but every once in a while I venture into Cafe Con Miel territory. I am always pleased with the result.
