Big Dog Coffee is the BEST kind of cafe: one that's kind to dogs and people alike, casual, but beautiful & cozy inside, with delicious teas, rich Intelligentsia coffee (the best, really!), homemade soups, delicious cookies and scones, and plenty of tables where you can nibble your food, talk to friends, study, or peruse your laptop with Big Dog's free DSL. Parking is admittedly difficult, but Big Dog Coffee is sooo worth it. The care and quality in atmosphere, food, and service really shows. If I lived in Pittsburgh, I'd be a regular regular! ;)
