    Nicholas Coffee is my favorite coffee shop to go to downtown. It's always fresh, and made perfectly. The inside is so nostalgic and smells amazing. It's a coffee lovers dream. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable about all of the different beans. Don't sleep on Nicholas Coffee & Tea!

    COFFEE Pumpkin King - good pumpkin flavor. Good temperature and coffee taste. The drink wasn't that sweet, which I personally like better. VIBES This place has a lot of coffee beans that you can buy that are lined up along the wall. Place also gives a nice vintage/older vibe. More so grab and go then sit down. SERVICE Service is great! I asked the guy for suggestions on a sweeter coffee and he recommended the pumpkin king, which was honestly amazing. They were quick to get drinks out as well.

    Solid coffee, I came in before work and there was a line which is always a good sign. I decided to try their Spring flavor - Banana Pop. It was pretty solid so I recommend giving it a try while you have the chance.

    We come to market square around the Holidays every year. We do the shops and the kids always skate around the giant tree. I feel like we do this tradition at different times each year (morning, afternoon, or evening). We did morning this year, so I held off on coffee to grab one by the rink. My wife originally said Dunkin, which usually does not disappoint. I walked down to Dunkin and saw Nicholas Coffee Company, so I figured I would give it a try. The smells are unbelievable as you enter. The employees were really friendly and helpful with selections and questions I had. My wife and I both got the coffee of the day, which was only $2 for a 12 oz. My wife described hers as ok. Mine was good, but for my liking was not hot enough. Overall, a decent experience.

    If you want to step back in time and be a kid again then visit Nicholas Coffee and Tea, because other than selling coffee they sell candies and snacks you'll probably recognize from your childhood. And walking into Nicholas is like walking into an old general store--I love that feeling. I visited Nicholas because I love coffee and I loved the nostalgic experience I had looking at the non-coffee items. I stopped by just for a cup of coffee while in the downtown area for a conference. I ordered a cappuccino that was good and really hot. I really liked how they also sell lots of good coffee equipment for home brewing. I saw a Chemex pour-over glass and filters and an Aeropress and filters. They also sold filters for drip brew machines. Of course you can't miss the huge selection of coffee beans. In addition to coffee they sell an assortment of tea bags.

    New here! Payton took our order and surprised us. Super sweet super helpful. We told her what we liked and didn't like and I dont know what she ended up making for us. But my goodness it was delicious. You walk in and immediately smell the coffee and it was amazing. Anytime I'm back in town, I'll definitely be back! Thank you for exceeding all expectations

    They had pound bags of oops.  I am happy.

    Today is my lucky day. I was intending to buy chocolate raspberry because my supply in Columbus is getting low. Then I spied a bin of oops. Raspberry crumble which the nice employee said is was raspberry with cinnamon, kind of like a danish. I bought them out. 5 pounds of fabulous Nicholas Coffee at a reduced price. This place has been a favorite of mine since I was a toddler and mom would buy me some huge prunes. Dont know if they sell those anymore but when I am in the Burgh, I stock up here. They have a HUGE selection.

After walking around the neighborhood, this one had seating, so we went inside. First, I'll say the coffee we tried was pretty good - a cappuccino and a brown sugar cinnamon latte. The barista asked "for here or to go" and the drinks still came in a paper cup anyway despite us saying "for here". I really enjoy having a coffee in an actual glass/mug when I say "for here". The ambiance was a bit confusing... not really sure what they were going for in the space, things were a bit choppy and thrown together. Kinda felt like you were in someone's garage with cluttered items on rickety shelves behind the counter. Our barista was very nice, but an awkward moment occurred when they were ringing us up - barista asked for a tip but then told us not to put the tip on the credit card because the owner steals from them. We felt this was a little uncomfortable and gave some unwelcoming energy. We also tried a Nutella croissant, which was very good! I think this shop has a lot of potential with some changes to service and decor.

    LOVED our dinner at this place…read more We came here for dinner while visiting Pittsburgh. The first thing that struck me was the interior decor. Very industrial and moody with an open kitchen/preparation area that adds some intrigue. I do like to see the happenings of what's going on as someone with zero attention span. Service was excellent. George was fantastic. He kept a close eye on us without being overbearing. He anticipated what we might need so we didn't spend one second waiting to order anything. The menu is not endless or overwhelming which, presumably, allows them to focus on the items that are listed. I have decision panic so it was kinda nice to have less things to choose from. They asked if there were any allergies or dietary restrictions so I mentioned my vegetarianism. George went through the menu and pointed out the vegetarian options including what seems like it is vegetarian but isn't. They had TWO vegetarian entree options and fortunately the non-mushroom one was something I probably would have ordered anyway: pesto with walnuts, arugula, and a very generous amount of grated cheese. To start, I ordered the Brussels sprouts whichc I was warned had fish sauce. This was fine but nothing that blew me away. GF, on the other hand, loved this. GF ordered the wedge which was brought to our attention as vegetarian with the bacon on the side, which was her request. We ended up sharing both, a large part of that was because hers came out first and I couldn't wait but I'm so glad because the wege was FANTASTIC. The dressing? holy fuck pure ecastasy. The wedge was more like a filet shape which was much easier to eat. Who decided on the wedge shape anyway? The lettuce was so fresh and crisp and went wonderfully with that orgasmic dressing and breadcrumbs. Back to my pasta. Also delectable. Noodles were al dente. The sauce was creamy and packed that pesto umami flavor. The walnuts were a really nice contrast in texture. Everything about it absolutely fucking slapped. GF ordered the mushroom entree which came served on a bed of barley which, don't mind if I do, had a few forkfuls to "sample" for "my review". Again, so fucking good. Because it was my birthday, George provided a dessert (yuzu maybe?) that was served inside a meringue-esque igloo, creamy perfect balance of sweet and tart custard with some berry business underneath. Wonderful. I almost forgot their spectacular cocktails! Holy shit, literally they have a CORN CHIP cocktail that I could not pass up. It comes with two massive cornchips on top of a flavored foam. When you bring the glass up to sip, the cornchips are right in front of your nose and their aroma sets the stage for the drink which was STRONG. It wasn't as corn chip forward as I expected but I understand that flavor is probaly hard to create. For my second drink, I ordered the blue one which was refreshing, light, and really good. GF ordered a spritz which was gorgeous "it was good". For second round, I picked out some uranium thing that was very cucumbery, GF says, "it was good". I just read it outloud to her. "it's true!" Fantastic meal at a great place.
