Coming from California, this place absolutely blew me away! The selection is top-tier, but the…read moreprices are what really shocked me--back home, a bakery of this caliber would easily cost 4x as much. Even with the lower prices, the quality is incredible. I picked up several Tigertails, chocolate chip cookies, and the carrot cake, and everything was amazing. I'm honestly glad I don't live nearby because I would live in this bakery! I visited midday on a Wednesday, so it wasn't too busy and parking was easy. The staff was excellent, very friendly and patient as I took everything in. It's a beautiful, clean spot that would even be great for a casual date. A must-visit if you're in the Pittsburgh area.

I've tried their donuts, their cookies, their pies, their cupcakes, and everything ranges from not being fresh, to lacking flavor, to being just downright awful (seriously, how do you screw up a chocolate chip cookie?). Your best bet is to actually just order a sandwich or a salad, but it you're coming here for pastries, I'd recommend you don't.

Pros and cons Pros-…read morehave been there about 3-4 times. And it's some of the best vegan sweets I've ever had, especially the cream icing/filling. Cons- it's a little far out of the way for me to travel to go weekly. And the interaction with the staff has always been awkward, not sure what to make of that. Summary- even with my listed cons above, it's worth the trip out of Pittsburgh or anywhere to enjoy a really good sweet treat.

Stopped here on a whim looking to yelp about a Bakery because it's Sunday…read more The shop is in a plaza with plenty of parking spots and it's small. The store has three cases inside filled with cookies, decorated waffles, cupcakes, cakes, donuts and a few other things. Two ladies were inside and the one greeted me asking if I was looking for anything in particular. After looking in the cases and asking what the first two cupcakes were, I decided I could get one chocolate with delicious chocolate icing and one peanut butter chocolate. When in doubt- choose the cupcakes! Both were very delicious and slightly different. The peanut butter icing was EPIC. Such a sweet, nutty flavor but not overkill sweetness. The cupcake was tasty but not as moist as I expected. It had a delicious chocolate icing filling in it which made a fun surprise when cutting inside. The chocolate cupcake with chocolate icing was more moist (perfect moisture actually) and the icing on top was fun with the chocolate shavings! I think I loved the peanut butter icing most with the moisture of the chocolate cupcake from the chocolate icing one. I'd love to note that the lady asked me if I had been before and I told her no, it was my first time. She told me these cupcakes are on her - which I couldn't believe and SO appreciated this sweet gesture. Overall, I'd be interested in getting their items again. I also plan to ask what the staple is next time I go, as I feel like all places have one thing they are dying to rave about. This seems like a small business worth supporting!

Best breakfast sandwich I've had in my life and big enough to feed you for breakfast lunch AND dinner.

As always, this is a staple for my first stop while home visiting. The parking was rough and I sure hope something gets figured out but if I have to drive around for 20 min until someone moves, I'll do it! Especially for what's inside. I picked up 2 cold brews for my bff, banana pudding for my pops and for me a cookie butter pudding (I think) for myself. To top it off I picked up a banana smores iced latte. No wonder this place is a diamond in the rough. I have never and I mean never had anything bad here. And it def put a smile on my face that the owner knew who I was and knows my love for her business. Please do yourself a favor and go here. Take a day drive and try it out. I promise you - you will not be disappointed.

Cute! Excellent espresso and they make their own syrups!…read more The coffee syrups are made in house, aside from the sugar free options. This is a sure way to get bonus points in my book! A homemade syrup goes great lengths. I had the homemade raspberry in a mocha and it was absolutely delicious, rich, and divine while still being able to actually taste the espresso/coffee flavors. This is just the way a perfectly crafted latte should be in my opinion. Space is small, standing room only inside. More of a grab and go situation. The man working on the Sunday morning I stopped in was friendly, quick, and efficient. Service wasn't the quickest since there was a small line inside and only one person working, but this was not an issue for a Sunday morning coffee stop where I was willing to take my time!

This was my first visit to the Verona location after having been to their Ellsworth Ave shop, and…read moreit lived up to what I expect from Mechanic. Parking was easy with 2 hour street parking right nearby, which made this a low-stress stop. I was greeted by festive holiday decor when I walked in, which made the space feel warm and inviting. There are a few small tables outside for nicer weather, and inside there are three high tables meant for standing only, so it is more of a grab and go spot than a place to linger. I ordered my usual iced London Fog with almond milk. It took a few minutes to brew as expected. While waiting, I looked around and noticed a limited selection of pastries like scones, plus a small fridge with to-go sandwiches. Along one wall they also had branded merch and coffee brewing equipment for sale. Overall, this is a solid neighborhood coffee shop with quality drinks and a streamlined setup.

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.

Other products include gummies and Philadelphia Water Ice, which I believe is Italian ice. As soon as my husband and I entered the store, an employee kindly greeted us. He told us about his products, and he offered free samples of his fudges. I bought two products, and here are my reviews for them: Chocolate-caramel-pecan turtles - 4.5 stars - Four turtles weighed 1/4 pound and cost $8. I would prefer more chocolate and caramel and fewer pecans, but I thought that these turtles tasted good. Bourbon Cherry Chocolate fudge - 4.5 stars - This fudge cost $5 for 1/4 pound. I enjoyed the sweet flavors. I saw many other chocolates and other sweets that looked delicious, but I try to have a generally healthy diet, so I will wait to buy more sweets here until I am in the neighborhood again.

I was walking through the streets of Oakmont when I stumbled upon this little sweet shop. The man…read moreinside of the shop informed me about all of the different flavors of fudge and other sweet treats which were being sold. You also have the option to try out some samples before you buy. Although all the truffles and chocolates looked delicious, today, I decided to just try the penuche fudge, peanut butter chocolate fudge, and the chocolate covered popcorn. The penuche fudge was delicious, but also quite sweet (on the verge of being too sweet). When describing what the fudge tastes like, the shop owner said it is similar to a Werther's caramel. I agree; there is definitely a caramely taste. I tried a sample of the plain milk chocolate which was absolutely amazing. The triple chocolate fudge is also great and consists of white, dark, and milk chocolate. The next fudge I got was the peanut butter chocolate fudge. It is made with Belgian milk chocolate (all the chocolate they use is Belgian). The chocolate flavor is perfectly sweet. The peanut butter flavor is strong and creamy. The texture is on point in both of the fudges. And, the price is quite reasonable with a 1/4 pound costing $5. Finally, the chocolate covered popcorn was also great. A whole bag is just $3! The chocolate is by far the best part of this sweet treat. I believe it is the same high quality milk chocolate they use in their fudge. The popcorn itself was okay, but it was too buttery in my opinion. All in all, I will definitely return to the Boulevard Sweet Shoppe. The service is friendly, there is a great sweet selection, and the flavors are quite good. When it comes to Oakmont sweets: get your baked goods at the Oakmont Bakery, and stop by the Boulevard Sweet Shoppe for candies, fudge, bark, and other sweets.
