I had the chance to check out Biddle's Escape just three hours after they opened on their first opening day. We live in the neighborhood and have been eagerly awaiting the grand opening. The inside of this place is fantastic. It has a bold, bohemian feel. I was happy to see a lot of thought went into the patio seating area. There is a nice garden, with wood carvings and even a metal, dinosaur skeleton. I asked if it would be alright if I brought my dog next time, and was told they had already had dog visitors that day and it was no problem. I love places with outdoor seating for that very reason. For those of you who aren't familiar with the neighborhood, this new coffee shop is on a quiet street, with beautiful trees surrounding it. I think using "escape" in the title of this coffee shop was perfect. This place has a much more relaxing atmosphere then when you sit outside and sip your coffee in Squirrel Hill or directly on Braddock St. in Regent Square. The prices are great, and I am happy to support this new local business. We'll be returning here often.
There is also beading section in this shop as well. Maybe it's time to take up a new hobby?
