I visited Coffee Etc. recently for an afternoon pick-me-up. Since this shop is close to my house,…read moreand everything they have is so good, it is one that I find myself coming back to time after time. Coffee Etc. is a locally-owned coffee shop located in the heart of Castle Shannon. It is near well-known places such as Ice Castle and just down the hill from Myrtle Elementary. They serve traditional and artisan coffees and teas, along with an extensive menu of breakfast and lunch items. There is always a selection of desserts and pastries on the counter as well. It is right along the T line, so it is easy to get to both by vehicle and public transit. There is not a private parking lot, but there are spaces along the street out front, as well as ample Street parking options around and behind the building. I have never had to park too far away when making a stop here, often securing a space right in front. The shop has both indoor and outdoor seating options. There are two-person and four-person tables that surround the front entrance. Inside, there are low-top tables, high-top tables and couches to choose from. On the weekends, it can be packed in here in terms of seating. I usually am able to find a table, but just be aware in case you are coming during a peak time! Overall, the vibe is a comfy and cozy cafe. It is warm, inviting, and makes you want to hang out for awhile. I always love the in-progress puzzle that sits at the counter where drinks are handed out. You can contribute a little bit to the work-in-progress in your idle moments waiting for your order to be ready. It is also fun to see what puzzle will be there the next time you visit. Something cool about this place is their dedication to their faith. They have free Bibles available for visitors, and they host different Bible studies and groups throughout the week. On this day, I visited around 1:45 PM on a Wednesday in September. It was not very busy, but there were other patrons in the shop. I took a moment to look at the monthly specials on the board outside, and made my way in to order a drink. The staff here are always so friendly and kind, and so it is no surprise that I was promptly greeted when entering. I was between a few of the drinks, but I ended up deciding on the Kettle Corn Iced Latte, since that is not a flavor you see everyday for coffees. As it was not busy at this time, I only waited a minute or so from the time I placed my order to when I had the drink in-hand. My drink was very good! I loved the unique flavor of the Kettle Corn, as I had never had that in a coffee before this latte. I truly have never had a bad drink or food item from here, and this visit was no different. They have so many different flavors and sauces to choose from, you will surely find one to your liking. I typically get one of the features/seasonal drinks, but you are able to customize any which way you want. Their breakfast sandwiches are amazing here, so I have to mention them in this review as well. I did not get one on this visit, but they are made-to-order and the quality is top-notch. There are several sandwiches on the menu, but you can also customize your own. I recommend getting the Chipotle Raspberry Jam on whatever sandwich you choose. It is wonderful! Plus, the sandwiches come with a little cookie as a sweet ending to your meal. The pricing here is on-par with what you would expect from a local coffee shop. I am usually spending between $6 and $7, depending on the size. I will typically get a custom sandwich, which starts at $7.50. It is not off-base with what you would expect for a local shop. I do feel the value is there, since everything is so tasty and the staff are so friendly and welcoming. I always love coming to Coffee Etc, and I highly recommend you give it a try if you are in the area or are thinking about stopping. The atmosphere, homemade sandwiches, variety of drinks, and the cozy vibes keep me coming back time and time again. Plus, they are always having new and seasonal drinks to try, so there will always be something different to enjoy.

We were so excited to learn that Pour Johnny's was opening right near the border of Bethel Park and…read moreCastle Shannon, so of course we had to try it out soon after its opening! Pour Johnny's is a locally-owned coffee shop that features coffee, different drinks, and some food items. For the drinks, the feature hot coffee, iced coffee, smoothies, quenchers, chillers, teas, matcha, and some prepackaged options. They do not have hot food items, but they feature baked goods from other local businesses, such as Brown Bear Bread, Jonesy Cakes, and more. The business is located on Library Road, very close to the Bethel Park and Castle Shannon border. Specifically, it sits between the Library and Connor Road intersection, and the Library and Rockwood Avenue intersection. It is also very close to the St. Anne T Stop. Due to the location, there can be some traffic from time-to-time getting in and out of the complex, but that is just due to the natural traffic patterns in this part of town. Pour Johnny's is in the Center 88 Strip Mall, being the right corner unit for the building on the left side. It occupies the space that was formerly South Hills Nutrition. There is adequate signage for the store both on the Center 88 road sign, as well as above the shop entrance. So, you should have no issue locating it! Since this is located within a strip mall, there are a lot of parking spaces all around. There are also some on the right-side of the building, since it is a corner unit. We had no issues finding our parking spot right in front of the entrance when we visited. My visit here was shortly after the business began operations. It was a Friday morning in October, right around 11:00 AM. My fiance and I were the only customers in the store at this time, so it was not at all busy. I imagine we came during the non-peak hours, since this is a coffee shop after all! The ambiance of this place overall is just darling. It is a quaint shop, but full of life, fun colors, artwork, and lots of goodies to explore. There is minimal indoor seating, but there are also some tables on the covered patio outside to enjoy your drinks at during nicer weather. I really like all the color and personality they brought into this space. One of the owners waited on us during this visit, and she was so kind! You can tell that she really loves what she does, and is the perfect person to be running a business like this. It was so nice to meet her, chat for a bit, and support her business. There are a lot of different options for drinks here! There are different coffee options, several fruity drinks options, non-coffee options, and more. To add to those drinks, there are several flavoring and syrup options to choose from. They even have root beer on tap! We took a few minutes to look at the menu and go through everything they have available. After placing our order, we only had to wait a few minutes for it to be ready. Considering they hand-make all of the drinks, it was prepared pretty quickly! I ordered a 16 Oz Cold Brew with light cream, which I very much enjoyed! The coffee was good quality, and it was a nice size for a midday treat. My fiance ordered the Featured 16 Oz Italian Cream Soda. I thought this was a unique menu item, and he did enjoy giving it a try. In terms of value, I believe Pour Johnny's is on-par with the other local coffee shops in this area. For our two drinks, we paid a little over $10 with tax. A 10 Oz Latte was $5, and most drinks had an option under that $5 price point. I think it is worth it to come here, when taking into account the product received along with the price. This shop is a great addition to the South Hills! I enjoyed my drink, and it is cool to see the creative features and unique menu items they carry. I can see myself becoming a frequent flyer here, given how much I enjoyed my visit and the shop's proximity to my house. If you find yourself in Castle Shannon/the South Hills and want to support a local coffee shop, look no further than Pour Johnny's! I would highly recommend giving a it a try.

The menu lists several flavors of donuts of "raised"/stick donuts and "round" donuts. Raised donuts include the following flavors: Cream Sticks (marshmallow filling with chocolate topping), Jelly Sticks (raspberry-jelly filling with sugar coating), Cinnamon Sticks (cinnamon glaze), and Glazed. Round donuts include the following flavors: Glazed, Powdered Sugar, Chocolate, Peanut (with marshmallow cream), Cinnamon Sugar, Plain Old-fashioned, and Sprinkle (with marshmallow cream). I chose the Raspberry Jelly Stick, and my husband chose the Chocolate Cream Stick. The employee provided excellent service in greeting us, patiently waiting for us to decide our flavors, and processing our payment. I do recommend that the business add labels near the donuts, but the employee did explain the flavors to us. Each donut cost $1.90. Both of our donuts tasted very good. This business also had a refrigerator of bottled beverages, including milks, teas, Gatorades, coffees, and water.

Big shout-out to the staff because my order has always been ready, and has always been perfect. They are on top of things here! The menu is the standard Dunkin' fare that we all know and love (at least I'm assuming you love it if you're visiting a Dunkin'). So donuts, breakfast sandwiches, and coffee. Lots of stuff to satisfy my sweet tooth, for sure, although I'm also a big fan of a good bagel breakfast sammie! Only bummer is that this location has no drive-thru, so no matter what you'll have to park to get your order. I do recommend the mobile app (especially if you're a regular, gotta get those perks!), but the Dunkin' store itself has lots of space so even when they're busy, I've never gotten the claustrophobic feelings that have come up when waiting in line at a jam-packed smaller store. All in all this is a solid Dunkin' and a good place to go for donuts and coffee. Here's to my future sweet-treats and pick-me-ups!
