| - I thoroughly enjoy this place and am disappointed that in all my years living on the South Side of Pittsburgh, I've only started coming here this year. Their menu is a good variety between hot or cold coffees and lattes, teas, muffins, bagels, scones and more. I've tried a few of their coffees and teas and have yet to have a bad experience.
Everyone I've met there was super nice, friendly, and helpful. I'm not exactly a coffee connoisseur so their help was well accepted when I had questions. I usually try latte's when I go to new places and when I got a vanilla latte here it was delicious. It was smooth, sweet, and rich at the same time. Not too much foam either, just enough. Their teas that i've had also have been pleasant surprises. Instead of being given a mug and a bag of tea, Big Dog uses loose leaf teas and actual tea brewers so I could let the leaves sit for as long as I like to absorb the flavors and aromas.
The coffee shop is set up in what looks like a home remodeled into a business with two separate rooms. The front room with the barista counter and register with a cozy fireplace in the corner, love seats, chairs, and casual tables. The open window to the street is nice and relaxing on a quiet day. Also, this place also isn't called Big Dog for nothing - it is a pet friendly establishment. They even have a small doggy biscuit pail by the front counter and 'doggy parking' out front.
