| - Stopped by here on a recent trip to Pittsburgh... liked it so much I snuck another trip in the morning we left! The barista was very friendly and accommodating, she had no problem doing special requests with drinks. The atmosphere was just the right mix of relaxing and funky-- The walls are decorated with handmade art pieces from [I'm assuming] one collection, and the pieces are unique and really blend well together with the character of the building. The floors are hardwood, which doesn't seem like it would be a big deal, but I believe it really adds something.
The first time we went, I had a peppermint-almond French soda ((don't knock it till ya try it; they're amazing)), and a friend of mine had a white hot chocolate, which was so good that I HAD to get it the next time. The second time, we went in early in the morning, and I was happy to see a place open at 7am-- you'd be surprised how many places here in MI aren't open till 8 or 9!
This time, I had the white hot chocolate and spent a minute or two perusing their many kinds of biscotti. There were so many, and they all looked so good! A nice change from the usual chocolate-plain-or-vanilla that you get elsewhere. I had an orange-cranberry... it may have had vanilla, but I honestly can't recall. At any rate, it went incredibly with my drink, and I've been craving the combination ever since.
I agree with the statement that the place is great for people of all ages and walks of life to hang out, and I'm definitely looking forward to coming back when I move to Pittsburgh in the fall. Thanks for adding to the great memories, Crazy Mocha!
