I stopped by 61B Cafe in Regent Square recently with my daughter to grab a quick coffee and see…read morewhat all the fuss was about. It is right on Braddock Avenue. It has a really nice neighborhood vibe that makes you want to hang out. As for the menu, they focus heavily on coffee and tea, they have an extensive loose-leaf tea selections. I ordered one of their fresh juices because I am always looking for something healthy without processed junk. They also have lots of cookies and pastries like homemade scones and biscotti for my sweet tooth. Verdict: This is a charming small local spot with a great community feel. If you are in the East End and want a fresh juice or a solid cup of coffee, give it a try.

I stopped by here this past Sunday with my family for our morning coffee. Every weekend we try to…read morehit up a new local coffee shop and on this morning it happened to be 61B Cafe. This coffee shop is located right on South Braddock Avenue in Regent Square and has both an outdoor ordering window and an indoor space. Since my wife and kids were waiting in the car and the sign said the window was served first, I decided to go that route. Because of that, there is not much more to say about the space itself other than I ordered from the sidewalk through a window. For my coffee I went with a large blueberry latte which I had seen recommended on Yelp. My wife went with an iced brown sugar cinnamon latte. Both drinks were ready within a couple of minutes and I was quickly on my way. Both my wife and I really enjoyed our coffees. The coffee itself was strong, bold and present. The syrups were flavorful and well balanced so they came through more on the finish and lingered nicely. They were not overly sweet and added a nice layer of flavor. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Both my wife and I really enjoyed our coffees, so it is an easy return for us.

The cream cheese of the week is such an amazing idea and all flavors I have tried so far have been phenomenal! My drinks have been made well - I have gotten the Afters Latte, a Smores Latte, and a Blueberry Matcha. It did take a bit of time when there was only 1 employee but when the second employee came to help, things got moving! It's small inside but super cute and aesthetically pleasing. I just discovered you can purchase their house made syrups to use at home - love this!

Very solid coffee and a few more exotic items as well. I tried out their Turkish coffee as well as…read moresome of the Turkish delights/lokum. They were both quite good. The Turkish coffee was served in a very unique way. They brought out the general coffee separate from a foam, which you could then mix or drink separately. Very cool, not too bitter, good texture. Bit on the expensive side but not too much. The Turkish delight was also good, but a bit overpriced in my opinion. They come straight from a box. I honestly wanted to try another one of their special drinks, but they were out. I recommend the special menu! The space itself is decently small but nice, and the girl working there was sweet and the spot is open late!

This is a nice-enough coffee shop in the Omni William Penn Hotel. The dining area is reasonably…read morespacious, comfortable and relaxing. But if I am to be brutally honest, the shop overall is really not particularly special. This is why the 3-star rating. There's nothing wrong with it. It just does not stand out. The coffee was fine, maybe even a bit above average. The food selection was quick-bite in nature and rather work-a-day. I also thought it was a bit expensive as my large brewed coffee was over $6 and there was a tip solicited on top. The service was fine, but there's not much opportunity to go above and beyond when drawing coffee from an urn. They do get a thumbs-up for serving Peets coffee, but otherwise this was essentially a standard spot. It probably works better, and is designed for, those staying at the William Penn rather than those coming in off the street.

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!

My husband and I are frequent visitors of this library and are past customers of other locations of Commonplace Coffee, so I felt excited to come here. The menu listed coffees, espressos, lattes, teas, hot cocoa, smoothies, milkshakes, juices, baked goods such as cookies and scones, and other foods such as yogurt parfait and sandwiches. An employee promptly and politely took our order and payment and made our beverages. The dining area contained some seating. I felt thankful that a table became available. I drank a hot Super Fruit Tea, and my husband drank an 16-ounce Iced Chai Latte. We enjoyed both beverages. According to my emailed receipt, the total price was about $9 plus tip plus Indiana County tax (!) *and* Allegheny County tax.

We ordered an iced latte with oat milk and an iced orange blossom latte with whole milk - Both were extremely watered down and had no flavor to them - also, the drinks were just not mixed well, and there were little 'chunks' just floating around, which was super gross. We couldn't even finish them. Staff could have been more friendly and more attentive.

I was a customer here one time. I loved the cat-themed wall art, serving plate, sponges, and stickers. An employee politely took my order and payment and then handed over my foods and drink. Many indoor tables and chairs were available. Here are my ratings for what I ate: Chai Latte - 5 stars Cat Sugar Cookie - 4.5 stars Chocolate-chip Cookie - 4.5 stars Penn State Peanut-butter Swirl Ice Cream - 5 stars (My husband and I were undergrads at PSU, and I really liked the flavor of this ice cream.)

I'm obsessed with this coffee spot. I was hosted here once for Instagram posting purposes, but have…read moresince visited twice more on my own spending my own dollars. The vibes here, as the kids say, are immaculate. Warm lighting, a couple of barstool type areas, small table seating in the back. They make the most out of the space they have in this bustling shady side neighborhood. The folks in charge clearly love vinyl as do I, and there are tunes spinning; they have good taste, with classics from the likes of Amy Winehouse and Jeff Buckley. The coffee drinks are made with first rate equipment and they are thoughtful and unique. You'll find ingredients like smoked salt and peppercorn (Smokey Robinson) and delicious specials like a banana caramel latte. Where they really stole my heart was having a full nonalcoholic bar with complex drinks like takes on an espresso martini and old fashioned made with NA spirits. So so good. They are going to rotate food concepts in their kitchen here but first up was Mortadella and I got a veggie sandwich that might be the best I've ever had. It was on a focaccia bread that was beyond to die for. The next time I came I needed that focaccia again and got it by itself. It looks like they are introducing some pastry concepts which I look forward to trying soon. There are so many places in this general area competing for your business but this is truly a spot worth checking out.
