My wife and I recently stayed in Pittsburgh for a few days in the Mount Washington neighborhood. We…read morewere just a block from Grand Brew and LOVED stopping in for coffee! The owner is super-friendly and has some delicious iced coffee options. Admittedly we stayed with iced vanilla lattes during each visit, but everything else looked really good too. They are located right in the heart of Shiloh Street where the majority of "The Mount's" shops, cafes and businesses are located. Great location, great coffee, great people. Grand Brew is worth a visit. Keep in mind that Grand Brew is CASH ONLY.

He showed me some of the antiques inside and let me smell one of the old perfumes in there. Had to try one of the pastries because they looked amazing. The chocolate chip cookie is probably one of the best cookies i've ever eaten in my life it was so fresh!! Should know that this spot is cash only, and there is an ATM inside if needed. Just got myself a large cold brew and no complaints at all! He raved about his homemade chai so I will be coming back just to try

Inside there is this warm and cozy vibe, where you are encouraged to do something creative or productive. Service was fast and there were several nooks and crannies where people were comfortably getting work done, with seats still available in the upper area. The coffee felt refreshening and awakening at the same time and gave me the pep in my step that was needed to finish my 10,000 steps for the day. They also have options where you can take high quality tea or fresh squeezed juice with you for later. I will have to come back and try their breakfast menu while having another amazing coffee from them!

We started near the Hot Metal Bridge and walked until it dumped us out to 18th Street. This location is busy. If you come during the school year you will find a ton of college students here; this would seem to be a favorite for that demographic. Not much else to say, a delicious coffee house and really good service. Inside it is pretty busy as we were there during the school year.

A few tables available inside to do work at but plenty of tables in an adjoining workspace. I definitely recommend a visit for a tasty brew and to support Mr. Delgado's expert work.

This is a top-tier Pittsburgh bakery in my opinion. I really enjoy the cakes here. There's…read moresomething about the frosting that is so light and delicious. It's kind of a cross between a whipped cream and buttercream. They have a great assortment of pastries, cookies, cakes and more. Today I bought a Memorial Day cake but seriously considered adding the babka bread, which looks like a long danish. I inquired about the chocolate one and was told it was filled with chocolate and hazelnut. Next time for sure. I can often find an easy parking space around the bakery but if not there is a lot across the street, make sure to still pay via the Go Mobile PGH app. The individual cupcakes are piled high with frosting and so decadent. I also find prices here very fair. They have also recently added a little section to the store with Pittsburgh souvenirs for anyone on Mount Washington visiting the city. The interior is a little dim and dated and could use a refresh imo but the treats are first rate. Pro tip, if you are on the Too Good 2 Go app, they frequently offer a surprise box of leftover pastries from the day. Look them up and sign up for notifications because you will need to be on any drop from them right away or it's gone.

Had to take a couple donuts "to go" so I could just get out of the elements of the weather. I'm so glad I did. I learned that all of the donuts are made fresh in house DAILY with real ingredients... and there was a wide variety of options! You can tell just by looking at them, that they're fresh and different than others you've ever tried before. Check them out. Truly, you can tell that these are handmade donuts. Yum! The shop is cute, a bit rustic looking, but suits Carson Street so well. There are some little stickers and nick nacks around the shop, but nothing too crazy, just very particular and with purpose. Please stop in here next time you're around for a visit.

This coffee shop is located in the Allentown neighborhood of Pittsburgh and my wife and I had visited it before in its previous incarnation. In any case, this shop definitely caters to an interesting crowd and that is reflected in the somewhat dim lighting inside. Besides the usual coffee bar and a merchandise area, what sets this place apart is that it has four pinball machines. For my coffee I went with the Vlad the Impaler while my wife went with the Bloody Kisses. The menu described mine as espresso with toasted marshmallow syrup, honey, hickory smoke, cinnamon and clove, topped with marshmallows and a hot honey drizzle. My wife's was described as espresso with dark chocolate sauce, French raspberry and cookie butter syrups, milk, and topped with whipped cream and raspberry drizzle. My coffee ended up being quite good. The flavor combination was one of the more complex ones I have had, and the hot honey added a bit of heat on the finish. That said, the coffee itself was not lost and still came through with a nice rich flavor. My wife also enjoyed her Bloody Kisses, especially the combination of dark chocolate and raspberry. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Grim Wizard definitely has a unique vibe, but I liked the pinball machines and the coffee was good as well.
