"1"^^ . "One of my favorite non-chain coffee shops in Pittsburgh. It is a small venue, yet there are usually some seats and tables open. However, I did have a lapse in judgment when I visited in the middle of the World Cup. They have a television set on one of the walls, so the place was packed; all the tables taken, seats being shared, and people standing, all fixated at the game.\n\nAnyways, their espresso drinks are great, their ice creams are heavenly, and their staff are very warm and nice. They provide free Wi-Fi, but the password changes occasionally. You need to ask the barista for the password. Speaking of which, the bathrooms also require a key code to enter, and they are different for the male and female bathrooms. Again, ask the baristas for these all-access passes.\n\nOverall, a great place to meet with friends, clients, your visiting relatives, or your next door neighbors. It's also quiet enough to do some studying; however, their choice of music may be distracting occasionally. Bring some headphones just in case."^^ . . "2014-08-17T00:00:00"^^ . "1"^^ . "4"^^ .
