I love Brushes and Beans! Usually paint your own pottery places are BYO for food and drinks, but…read morethey are half coffee shop, half pottery pain. They have a huge selection of items to paint and prices and pieces range from around $8 to up to $80. You pick your piece and paint colors and then go to work. To get the true color you need three coats, so it can tale awhile. But it is a really fun experience and the staff is really helpful. They fire your piece and you come back to pick it up in a week or two. Great for something to do with the kids, a date, time with friends or even a fun solo activity.

Located on Mosside Boulevard across from Dollar General. Great tasting coffee at reasonable prices…read more This store has a drive thru and a walk up window to order. There is a small outdoor patio in front of the store. This location was previously a small car wash so space is limited. Their menu is mostly coffee and drinks but they're a couple breakfast sandwiches that are premade and bagels and doughnuts are also available. Prices are reasonable. Staff is always nice and friendly. Service is always quick and easy. I definitely will return again soon!

The drink menu is extensive and full of fun. We went with friends and grabbed Dirty Cherry Pop Lotus Energy Drink, Oatmilk Cold Brew, and Oatmilk Chai Latte. The drinks are so flavorful and fun to sip on! We also grabbed food - a croffle should be more recognized. Croissant waffles rival the popular cronut - croissant donut. We grabbed a Ham and Cheese Croffle and a Cookie Butter Croffle. Everything was made quick even with a large line for the entire time that we were there! The interior is gorgeous. Murals on the walls, photo booth ready in the corner, different size and types of tables and chairs, open air to the back patio with tables right on the bike trail. This Saturday, they even had a pop-up table with Cookey inside the shop too!

I really wanted to love this place because visually, it's beautiful. Everything is super aesthetic…read moreand photographs really well. The baristas were incredibly friendly, kind, engaging, and welcoming, which I genuinely appreciated. While the staff was friendly, the owner didn't come across as friendly, which changed the vibe a little. I ordered two coffees and a matcha, and unfortunately all three drinks tasted more like watered down milk, than actual coffee or matcha. The coffee-to-ice-to-milk ratio is way way off, and the flavor just didn't come through for any of the drinks. I'll also say, the sign claiming "The world's best canned Matcha" set the bar high... and it absolutely didn't deliver. That's a huge reach. I tried the croffle flight as well. Again, it looked great in pictures, but for $20, it was...meh......just okay. Not horrible, just not something I'd go out of my way for again. Overall, if you're going here for aesthetics and photo ops, this place nails it. But if you actually care about how your coffee or matcha tastes, you will likely leave disappointed. As a trusted Yelp Elite Member, this is not a business I could or would recommend.

The barista did a nice job on my drink, invited me to look around and check out the vault (former bank), and I got to talk with one of the co-owners Rob for a bit.

For a community as big as Monroeville, we really lack local/non chain coffee houses. (yes I know…read morethis is in Pitcarin).. This used to be called Vault because of being in an old bank, but they embraced their veteran owned status and rebranded. The decor is fun and not over the top and they have comfortable seating.

They have. fairly standard coffee shop menu plus they always have fun seasonal specials. Yes things like peppermint mocha and pumpkin spice latte, but also firecracker latte for patriotic holidays. They have a nice selection of pastries and sandwiches as well. They taste fresh and are a nice size. Staff is friendly, informative and attentive. They are great at helping you make decisions if you are stuck on what to get or might not be a regular coffee drinker. A real gem of a place I am happy to have nearby.

Lunch was fine, but I was really looking forward to the Boston cream pie. It has always been one of…read moremy favorites, and I actually hyped it up to my friend and encouraged her to get one to go as well. Later that evening, when I finally had mine, I was extremely disappointed to discover that the custard filling was full of chunks/curds. It was nothing like the smooth custard I expected from a Boston cream pie. I called the diner later to let them know because I wanted them to be aware that something seemed to be wrong with that batch. I wasn't looking for a refund or a replacement--I simply thought they should know. Unfortunately, the manager who answered did not identify himself, and when I asked for his name, instead of simply telling me, he asked who I was. When I told him I was a customer who was there earlier in the day, he then identified himself as Chris. I also found his response to my concern to be very unapologetic, which was disappointing. From a place that prides itself on its desserts, I honestly expected better. I'm hoping this was just a fluke with one batch, because I would hate to see a longtime favorite change for the worse. But since the new owners took over, I have noticed that there just doesn't seem to be the same consistency that I remember from the previous owners. Very disappointing, especially because I had been looking forward to that Boston cream pie and had even recommended it to my friend.

They have so much selection, it's overwhelming! I have been on a hunt for the best tiramisu in…read morePittsburgh and I read that their variation was very good so I had to try it. It is called a Tony misu, and I would argue It is like a cake...So ditch the idea of ladyfingers overall. It didn't have much coffee flavor at all, the frosting/cream or whatever it was wasn't bad. I wouldnt come here just for this but I'd eat it again if it was in front of me. I'm honestly disappointed, when you call yourself an Italian pastry shop but can't make classic tiramisu. Maybe that's just me, but I think that's all of Pittsburgh. Service here was great, parking was easy.

CARROT CAKE BEST CARROT CAKE IN... EVERYWHERE…read more If you don't like carrot cake, you probably jut haven't had Moio's. Okay, Moio's is more than just carrot cake, but I wanted to make that clear just so you know. Tucked into a centrally located plaza of Monroeville, this place is an oasis of fresh made, delicious cookies, cakes, and pastries! My favorites are devil's delights, butter sandwich cookies, tiramisu, and the carrot cake!! They always have a line because they are popular, but you never are waiting long. The place is decorated in fun decorations and is a nice throwback of an Italian bakery. Always worth a stop and a great place for a holiday treat!

Well the drive thru line has been out to the street every morning for a long time so that's not a great option - you can't even navigate the parking lot! So if you opt to go inside, they turn the names on the receipts towards them so you can't see the names but then the entire staff avoids making any eye contact with you at all so you have to like lean over the counter and turn everyone's stuff around. , Also, if you order donuts, they are never ready with your coffee at the counter, so you may be able to find your coffee order, however, the donuts that you've already paid for are not there, and back to the no eye contact thing, you can't get anyone's attention so someone can grab your donuts. I've been coming to this DD for years, I'm not sure why it's gotten so crazy

It was very tasty and ample enough that I took some home for the next day's breakfast. The booths have cushions that sink down so much that your chin approaches the table and makes for an uncomfortable experience. The interior is quite pleasant but the booths need reworked. Another minor issue is their opening time. If you are offering breakfast then open before 9 am. Even an hour earlier would be more acceptable.
