    My go to neighborhood coffee shop. No frills. Fair prices. Off the beaten path. Dog friendly. Real locals place. Good people, making good drinks & breakfast sammies. Local vibes perfect for getting some work done or sitting outside chatting with friends.

    Latte, drip coffee, and breakfast sandwich

    Super cute place, good prices, and even better coffee & breakfast sandwiches. We will be back!

    it's cute! I wanted a chocolate protein shake but unfortunately they were out of the chocolate, got a vanilla instead. the vanilla was still pretty good I just would have preferred chocolate :(

    Berry muffin
    Mark L.

    Cute neighborhood coffee shop which was a gas station in its former life. Coffee was good. The berry muffin was a home/store baked (not Costco-y). Great location on the Pittsburgh's south side. It was a steady stream of customers, but still plenty of places to sit and enjoy a coffee. Inside and outside seating. Various chairs. For working, there are limited power outlets. Friendly service.

    Paradise tea
    Mark M.

    Great coffee and tea. Paradise tea was excellent. They let me smell the tea before ordering it! Was very helpful with deciding on if that was what I wanted to go with. The coffee with all the different flavors in there was surprisingly not syrupy and not hidden by the coffee flavor. Honestly a perfect blend. Wish there was one closer, but then again it might just be our reason to take a trip to the southside on a Saturday morning from now on. ;D They are very DOGGO FRIENDLY and offer PUP CUPS w/ BACON in it!! Admittedly, a mistake on my part for not snapping a pic of it. 22 outa 22 worth it for you... and your dogs.

    Staff was incredibly kind as soon as I had walked in to order a drink. I opted for a smoothie, and the berries and other fruits were fresh and delicious. They also have a patio area that's nice to enjoy you're coffee & drinks at when the weather is nice!

    Carmel Latte

    Great Carmel latte! Highly recommend. Very friendly barista. Clean sitting area with plenty of room to work.

    I'm so thankful for this local Cafe in the South side area. I had the mocha latte with banana bread. This spot is a great location for hanging out with friends or business associates. Not far off East Carson. The latte is very good! I hope to comeback and try their tea offerings and milkshakes!

    Iced coffee
    Katherine L.

    This place is an amazing value deal. I swear that their prices are the lowest for iced coffee in South Side. They have plant milk options as well as different sweetness. The coffee is consistently good - not knocking me out of the park, but gets the job done! Go on a warm day and they open up the garage doors to have fresh air flow throughout the entire building. A pretty decent amount of tables available compared to the other spots. Also, they have on-site parking which is a rarity.

    I was having a real "Pittsburgh Proud" moment at this ice cream spot. I loved reading about the…read morehistory of the business and looking through all of the vintage advertisements and memorabilia outside the shop. My first thought after visiting was that I should have come here sooner, and my second thought was already deciding what I want to order next time. I am already planning to order the peanut butter soft serve with warm fudge and a warm cookie after being inspired by their chocolate chip cookie sundae advertisement and will need to ask about what the strawberry shortcake situation is all about as well. For years, I watched the long lines outside and wondered what all the hype was about. Sometimes you don't get it until you "get it" - and now I get it. Fortunately for us, there was barely any line when we arrived even though it was a hot summer day. Even better, it's only about a one-hour walk from my house. The service was also fast and friendly and the employee who helped us was pleasant the whole time which added to the overall experience. I was especially impressed by the peanut butter soft serve. The flavor was rich and pronounced without compromising the smooth, creamy texture of the soft serve. It was everything I would want peanut butter soft serve ice cream to be. I was also surprised by how many soft-serve flavors they offer. Most places have only a few options, but there was plenty to choose from here. That said, it's hard for me to order anything other than the peanut butter soft serve now that I know how much I love it. One thing to know is that they do not offer free samples because the flavors are made to order. Something else to know is that the small sized cone held noticeably more ice cream than the small cup despite being the same price - so if you can I suggest the cone over the cup if you want more ice cream for the same price. I originally chose the cup because my hands weren't clean, but I later realized the cones come with a plastic protector around them anyway. All in all, this is one of those places that lives up to its reputation, and I highly recommend coming here if you are an ice cream aficionado.

    Came on a rainy Sunday and the line was not too long! It moved quickly and the workers were really…read morefast and efficient in trying to get everyone's order. I got the strawberry shortcake sundae and it was huge! I did not expect it to be so big so if you're looking to share something this would be it! It's a staple and delicious. I will be coming back to try to different flavors they got going on.
