Cory made my drink and his mom was in the shop as well. What a sweet place I'm excited to come back to! read more

A true treasure in the city of Pittsburgh! Brother Andre's is located in the basement of Ephiany church right next to the arena. The space is decorated very cute with a variety of seating options. The menu features typical coffee shop drinks, monthly specials and a variety of breakfast and lunch options. One of my favorite things about Brother Andre's is that if employs individuals with mental and physical disabilities. These baristas are full of joy and wonderful people who likely would have a challenge finding employment. If you are in the downtown area, definitely visit. But even if you aren't, it's worth a visit! read more

This cozy little coffee shop gave me the feels!! I work downtown and sometimes park at PPG. I was jonesing for a cup of coffee on the walk to my building and saw a little blue sign for Brother Andre's. I followed the signs into the back door of a church. At first I thought it was a little strange and didn't know what sort of place I was going to end up in but after entering the church basement there is a legit adorable coffee shop located there! The people, including the patrons, were all so friendly and welcoming. The prices and the ice coffee I got were good. It was clean. They had a little shop where they sold coffee and trinkets. My favorite thing about this coffee whip is that they employ people with Intellectual disabilities. It's so nice to be able to support a good cause! read more

Imagine: You are in a new city. You know no one. You have no car. You have no breakfast. You set out on foot to the local Starbucks, which should be only steps away according to the maps app. (insert sad horn.. waa waa waaaaaahhh) Starbucks has been closed for business. But alas, a friendly citizen of Pittsburgh offers an alternative. She suggests I walk across the street to the big red church, go around to the lower level, and check out the coffee shop there. Wait... so there is a coffee shop in the church basement, and you think that I will like it as much as Starbucks? Mmmmkay. Suuuuuure. But, I needed coffee. Badly. So I gave Brother Andre's a try. Listen. This is the real deal. The coffee is DELICIOUS, dare I say my drink was BETTER than the shaken espressos I have been getting all week at the chain, and I didn't contribute to any corporate greed. If you just want to be a great person, Brother Andre's employs amazing people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, who are sure to brighten your day with a friendly hello! The place also offers Wi-Fi and free parking, and along with the amazing coffee, you can grab cookies, scones, breakfast sandwiches, fruit cups, salads, and other goodies! Honestly, I'm going to miss Brother Andre's when we head home. read more

Pittsburgh's best kept secret church basement café. Coffee: A+ : can't get much better than La Prima beans Cookies: 5-stars : gluten-free peanut-butter is actually tastier than any glutenous cookie I've ever consumed Employees: Three-thumbs up : genuine people who care less about your money and more about you knowing you're valued. Incredible opportunity for adults with IDD to have meaningful work and for people like us to share in their joy. On Wednesday's, they've got these beignets that'll take you to France and back in one bite. A humble, homey place that deserves to keep growing. read more

Brother Andre's Cafe is an absolute gem! The bites we had were amazing! We loved the cookies, but the cinnamon scone was hands-down our favorite. The coffee was also fantastic, the perfect complement to the baked goods. The service couldn't have been better--10/10 employees who were incredibly kind and helpful. We will definitely be back to try more! read more

The latte was just sweet enough and the sandwich hit the spot for an on-the-go quick breakfast. The wait for my items also wasn't that long and it gave me enough time to admire the Mediterranean vibes in its space.

Coffee Etc.

I visited Coffee Etc. recently for an afternoon pick-me-up. Since this shop is close to my house,…read moreand everything they have is so good, it is one that I find myself coming back to time after time. Coffee Etc. is a locally-owned coffee shop located in the heart of Castle Shannon. It is near well-known places such as Ice Castle and just down the hill from Myrtle Elementary. They serve traditional and artisan coffees and teas, along with an extensive menu of breakfast and lunch items. There is always a selection of desserts and pastries on the counter as well. It is right along the T line, so it is easy to get to both by vehicle and public transit. There is not a private parking lot, but there are spaces along the street out front, as well as ample Street parking options around and behind the building. I have never had to park too far away when making a stop here, often securing a space right in front. The shop has both indoor and outdoor seating options. There are two-person and four-person tables that surround the front entrance. Inside, there are low-top tables, high-top tables and couches to choose from. On the weekends, it can be packed in here in terms of seating. I usually am able to find a table, but just be aware in case you are coming during a peak time! Overall, the vibe is a comfy and cozy cafe. It is warm, inviting, and makes you want to hang out for awhile. I always love the in-progress puzzle that sits at the counter where drinks are handed out. You can contribute a little bit to the work-in-progress in your idle moments waiting for your order to be ready. It is also fun to see what puzzle will be there the next time you visit. Something cool about this place is their dedication to their faith. They have free Bibles available for visitors, and they host different Bible studies and groups throughout the week. On this day, I visited around 1:45 PM on a Wednesday in September. It was not very busy, but there were other patrons in the shop. I took a moment to look at the monthly specials on the board outside, and made my way in to order a drink. The staff here are always so friendly and kind, and so it is no surprise that I was promptly greeted when entering. I was between a few of the drinks, but I ended up deciding on the Kettle Corn Iced Latte, since that is not a flavor you see everyday for coffees. As it was not busy at this time, I only waited a minute or so from the time I placed my order to when I had the drink in-hand. My drink was very good! I loved the unique flavor of the Kettle Corn, as I had never had that in a coffee before this latte. I truly have never had a bad drink or food item from here, and this visit was no different. They have so many different flavors and sauces to choose from, you will surely find one to your liking. I typically get one of the features/seasonal drinks, but you are able to customize any which way you want. Their breakfast sandwiches are amazing here, so I have to mention them in this review as well. I did not get one on this visit, but they are made-to-order and the quality is top-notch. There are several sandwiches on the menu, but you can also customize your own. I recommend getting the Chipotle Raspberry Jam on whatever sandwich you choose. It is wonderful! Plus, the sandwiches come with a little cookie as a sweet ending to your meal. The pricing here is on-par with what you would expect from a local coffee shop. I am usually spending between $6 and $7, depending on the size. I will typically get a custom sandwich, which starts at $7.50. It is not off-base with what you would expect for a local shop. I do feel the value is there, since everything is so tasty and the staff are so friendly and welcoming. I always love coming to Coffee Etc, and I highly recommend you give it a try if you are in the area or are thinking about stopping. The atmosphere, homemade sandwiches, variety of drinks, and the cozy vibes keep me coming back time and time again. Plus, they are always having new and seasonal drinks to try, so there will always be something different to enjoy.

Also love their cold brew range of their baked goods and food options, the focaccia was really nice and would definitely try more. They have a ton of seating inside, a few outside too, but definitely a great space to hang out or get some work done. There was a bit of a wait for the drinks, but only because there was only one poor barista handling a huge rush, and they did an incredible job despite that! Overall nice neighborhood spot for fun drinks and catch up!

My husband and I ate a small breakfast here. The exterior and interior of the restaurant were nicely decorated and clean. I saw a large dining area and a children's play area. Two employees promptly and politely served us. I ate a banana-nut muffin, which was moist and tasty, and my husband ate a breakfast wrap, which contained bacon, eggs, cheese, and potatoes. The total price was $10 plus tax and tip. We really liked the flavors of these two foods. I encourage other people to stop by and support this small, local business.

They had a free plant section which I loved. There were about 4 small tables inside so don't expect a ton of seating. The prices were super reasonable - I got a peppermint mocha with oat milk and a pumpkin spice latte with oat milk. Coffee was great and the sweetness was perfect - not overall sweet. I wish they had more food selection but it was still good. There is not a fixed menu and they rotate what they make I believe. We all had a sourdough breakfast sandwich with bacon, egg, and cheese which they heat up for you. All of their food is displayed in the cases. They had pepperoni rolls, muffins, croissants, scones, etc.
