The strawberry latte was great, the baristas knew what they were doing and were super friendly, and the coffee chia pudding was honestly one of the best chia puddings I have ever had.

I'm on a quest to find the best coffee shop to study/do work in in Pittsburgh and this place was…read morenext on my list. For the purpose of this task, I give it a three out of five. The ambience is calm and somewhat cozy, there are couches to sit on and tables to focus with. I went in the morning/early afternoon, the lighting from outside was not great, typical Pittsburgh fashion. The light fixtures inside were way too dim. I found myself tilting my notebook to try to catch some natural light. Outlets also aren't easily accessible which is huge for being able to do work of course. The coffee was great, I tried the hibiscus cold foam latte, or something like that. I paired it with a bacon egg biscuit sandwich which was very filling. Definitely satisfied with the food products. Customer service was also fine, the women behind the counter were cheerful and pleasant.

I met up with someone here today and the interior is bright and welcoming. I noticed a couple of small exterior tables outside the café for nice weather, too. The people are so kind. They have an assortment of delicious looking pastries like croissants, muffins and donuts. Most importantly the drinks are delicious. Housemade syrups and they had about five seasonal specials of both lattes and Matchas! I had a double pistachio Matcha and when I asked about it they told me how they make the syrup and the foam and my goodness it was amazing. I will be stopping by here frequently!

Cons: I wasn't a fan of the syrups used for the latte, as they had a very artificial taste (you know the one) and it was overly sweet for a combo of fall savory flavors.

I stopped by here this past Saturday morning with my wife and our twins for our morning coffee…read more Normally it's every Sunday morning that we try to hit up a new local coffee shop but on this day we happened to have some free time on a Saturday. Since we were in the Mars area, we decided to head over to the Mars Brew House. This shop is located in downtown Mars on Pittsburgh Street. It is located in what looks to be an old large house and I think that you were able to go in at one point in time but only the window was open on this morning. The gentleman that was working the window as super nice and introduced his dogs to both of my kids. After looking around for the menu, he had to take a picture of it with my phone so that I could see it. After looking at it l ultimately decided on a large latte and after being asked about a flavor chose toasted marshmallow while my wife also chose a latte and went with hazelnut for her flavoring. It wasn't long before we had our coffees and headed to our car. My coffee here ended up being alright. The flavor of marshmallow was good but I found the coffee itself to be mostly lost behind it and the milk. So it wasn't bad but I just wish that I had more flavor coming through on what should have been the star. My wife did at least enjoy her hazelnut coffee. The bottom line for me is that I might stop by here again in the future. While my wife enjoyed her latte, I definitely could have used more coffee flavor in mine.

The women behind the counter were nice so no service issues. I'd love to try a breakfast sandwich next time. Good little place, worth swinging by (street parking only, FYI)
