| - I travel to Pittsburgh for business 5-6 times a year and pretty much eat my way through the city. Last trip, I grudgingly stayed on the north shore because most hotels were booked. The Hotel breakfast was brutal and the Post Gazette led me to this little joint five minutes away. First impressions? Hip, warm, and comfortable with a lot of smiling faces...not something usually seen down here in Florida. Second? The breakfast bagel was freaking amazing. I see that has been said a few times. It's true. They don't screw around with the ingredients, instead letting them speak for themselves. Ham edges crispy. Big fluffy layers of whipped eggs. Excellent quality cheese. Also, the coffee smelled so good tht I decided to veer from my norm and opted for a flavored blend. Delicious. As I sipped on Green Mountain at the office later that afternoon, I wish that I could have called in a delivery.
The next day, I worked from the hotel in the morning and then stopped by again to try lunch before heading to the office. Got a steak and cheese sandwich, chips, and some oatmeal moon pie cream cookie....which was staring me in the face and broke my will. Everything was just as good as the previous morning. And the value is amazing.
Finally, it's awesome to see owners and workers that so obviously care about their place, the community, and most of all their customers. Why wouldn't you want to support that? These are the type of people that are needed in areas that are rebuilding or have potential. Cheers guys. I'll be back on every trip.
