Slightly better than Starbucks, but that's not saying much. It's sad to me that someone would open a coffee shop like this. Apparently a while back, someone had a "brilliant" idea. "Hey we should start a coffee chain that's just like Starbucks."
So I decide to try a Coffee Tree for once. I walk in, look around, look at the menu... Hmmm. No I'm not interested in a pumpkin, caramel, iced, double, almond frappuccino right now. Sorry, just not interested. So I got a smoothie. It must not have been bad because I don't remember anything about it.
Whatever, there's not a lot of options for coffee in Shadyside. Minus 4 stars for not being much better than Starbucks. An extra star for not being Starbucks.
