We ordered the hot chocolate which unfortunately wasn't what we were expecting. It had 7-8 ingredients including caramel syrup, cookie dough syrup, and more.

It's dog-friendly if you want to pop in and grab your drink with your pup, and they post mini Polaroids of the dogs that have stopped by on the wall. The drinks are excellent and crafted by talented baristas. You can sometimes get a bit of a line but they move it along quickly. The best motivation to stop by is that I can nearly always find street parking within a block of here on East Carson, convenient and it costs maybe $.40 for the amount of time you need on the Pittsburgh parking app.

Anyway, I eventually figured out and found the place (surprisingly, Safari Maps was correct, not Google Maps). Once inside the cafe, it was warm and inviting, and the barista was very kind. I tried their matcha latte, and it was delicious. The cafe is connected to a co-working space that's open to anyone, which is nice. They also offer free public WiFi that doesn't require a password. Heads up, parking is a bit tricky. You can park near the railroad tracks and walk over, or take a chance with the 30-minute loading spots and hope you don't get towed. Or, for a peace of mind, you can park inside the garage and then pay when leaving.

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.
