Food-wise Pittsburgh could really do no wrong during my recent weekend trip and Coca Cafe was the perfect way to end the time I spent there.
My boyfriend and I drove up to see a line of people waiting to be seated as the place opened up for business on Sunday morning. We ended up heading over to Espresso a Mano to wait for 30 minutes until a table freed up. The staff called us right on schedule and was extremely friendly.
The decor is cute and eccentric. Exposed brick, art on the walls, mis-matched furniture, all very cute and welcoming.
Our service was a little spotty, the girl forgot a few things and seemed distracted but the food made up for that.
I had the goat cheese and red pepper polenta cakes with poached eggs. The eggs and the grilled potatoes that came with were perfection. The polenta cakes were a tad too rich though. I wanted them to have a bit more solidity. They were so rich, in fact, that I could only eat one. I also got a side of bacon and let me tell you it was the BEST BACON I have EVER HAD! I could have had just that and been happy.
My bf ordered the black bean and andoullie sausage hash and it was incredible..it made me wish I had ordered that. His buttermilk biscuit, however, was a tad bland.
Over all it was a delicious meal and I'm a little sad I didn't get to try their sweeter menu items. If I'm ever back in Pittsburgh this place will be on my repeat stop list!
