I discovered this place from a quick Google search, and am so glad that I did. The shop is situated on a back road, but has plenty of parking and is easy to locate. There is a nice porch with some outdoor seating. We went on a Sunday evening in April, and it was not terribly crowded. The line moved fast and service was prompt. All of the girls working were nice and professional. It seemed like one of the girls was in training, and even with this the service was great. Being that it was my first time visiting, I had a lot of questions about the menu. The girl cashiering was kind and willing to answer all of my questions, as well as give product suggestions. We both opted for parfaits with the vanilla custard - the Apple Pie and the Strawberry Pretzel. They were huge and so delicious!!! We also got a pup cup to-go for our dog, and he loved that as well. I thought the prices of everything were very fair, and it is a fantastic value for the quality of product received. In addition to the custard offerings, there is a gift shop to patronize. There is a lot of country-themed gift and novelty items, and it was fun to peruse while waiting in line to order. There also were various other types desserts (pies, cookies, cupcakes, and more), as well as pepperoni rolls, for purchase. I believe these are all homemade by the business! There really is an offering for everyone here. This place is truly a hidden gem! I can't wait to visit again and try some different items, and maybe even some baked goods.

Classy Pittsburgh Gift SPOTTTTT!!!…read more We need to shout it from the parking lot and let the whole city know!!! Stop going to Sports Stores for yinzer merch - gifted hands has your fix! An unassuming boutique store - Gifted Hands is an epic find for Pittsburghers who need a gift for their Steel Nation friends. Yes, the store has jewelry, bags, and beadwork items lining the front windows and the front of the store... but if that intimidates you... close your eyes and wander to the back of the store. Primanti's sandwich dog toys! Steel cutouts of the Pittsburgh skyline! Mister Rogers children's books! You won't be let down! You will find a gift. The prices are pretty equivalent to Amazon and you can peruse the curated selections to find things that you normally wouldn't think of. To top it off, the employees are always the sweetest! When checking out, they will offer gift receipts... and gift wrapping!!! We bought a Pittsburgh children's book - and they offered baby wrap (colorful tissue paper) or the Pittsburgh mix (black and yellow colors) FOR FREEEEE!! Amazon wouldn't do that!! Stop being lazy and cheap with gifting - come out to a local establishment and get your gift here!!

The staff are friendly and attentive and will even gift wrap your purchase! If you don't need it wrapped, they still carefully package it for you to take home. Definitely check it out if you are looking for a unique gift!

I regret ever selling at this shop. They never asked for my PayPal email so they could pay me, so…read moreafter a while, I gave it to them on my own. They often left messages on "seen". I went about three months without any payments. I got very worried when I saw they had left my last message asking (again) for an update on when the next payment would be on "seen", after I was already told I would've been updated weeks ago. I finally received a payment after I brought up my inventory sheets and calculated what I'd be owed. They agreed to send my products back, but then began another waiting game. I was told it either would be sent, or was sent, and that I'd get tracking over and over. Instead of admitting it wasn't actually sent, they'd leave me on "seen". After weeks, they said they were looking for the tracking slip, and then they found the package of my products in an employee's car. They then said they'd be delivering it early the next day. Little did I know, they meant they were driving to my apartment building, uninvited, on a VERY busy main Pittsburgh avenue, and leaving it, while I would be at work for hours, in a bright neon blue mailer, accessible to anyone. You could've just mailed it, as you said you would for weeks. They told me they had been looking for the tracking slip, so tell me why the package had no postage and no tracking? I ended up with body shakes at work worrying about $250+ worth of my work being stolen. I ended up buying my neighbor a gift card, which I couldn't afford, for rescuing it. My fragile handmade jewelry was loose in the mailer, and my necklaces are tangled. I even took a video of myself opening the package. I always keep every record, inventory list, receipt, screenshot, message, etc, I have between anyone I do business with, to protect myself, indefinitely, until I die; no exceptions.

Not to mention the presentation, the tiered serving trays? The different pieces of vintage china settings? The crystal goblets? Omg, take me back to the days of dreaming of having a tea party like this! My inner child is jumping up and down! This venue is small, but the perfect size for a more intimate gathering, my party was 22 people and we fit just fine. The waitress was adept at explaining the tea flavors and describing what was on the serving trays as they were set down, and the owner, Sherry, was a joy to work with. Her friendly and professional demeanor helped assuage the stress of throwing an event, and her contracts were well drafted and easily understood. I can't wait to go back in my own time just for lunch and tea! Once again, I highly recommend this lovely tea room, whether it's for an event, a luncheon or a princess party, I will be telling all of my friends about it.

There are a ton of lovely gifts to get here for others or yourself. Many are imports from France or Italy. I wanted to get multiple candles, but left with one candle, one really nice shoulder bag (this is what drew me here in the first place, as I had seen it in the window and returned when they were open), and a lip balm ahead of the chilly winter weather that has arrived! I will say the prices here are a bit high, but everything here is of very high quality, and in comparison to the manufacturer or brand websites of the items I purchased, the prices were actually very close in comparison. It also always makes me feel good to support local businesses that are creating the flavor of the city we live in.

I was so happy about it and they are so comfortable. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. Next time I'm in town, I will make sure to be able to spend more time at the store. I'm sure I could've found way more things that were right up my alley! It's in a beautiful shopping center and it's nice to walk around. Kudos to the staff for being so nice to us! The jewelry options are plentiful and I wish I had more time to look at more of the Brighton items. However I'll be back! Thank you!

(I'm allergic to nickel so I was hesitate to wear it, I tried it and since it's loose and not tight on my wrist, I think it would be okay.) At any rate, I can't see wearing the bracelet with just the one charm, so I thought I'd stopped in to look around. The store has some really cute jewelry, purses and bags, scarves, accessories, etc. Let me tell you, this place was really hopping! I spotted at least 5 sales people and around 8 or 10 customers. Not bad for a little shop in an outside "strip mall" type atmosphere. Actually, the store is quite bigger than it appears from the outside and, for the life of me, I can't remember what was here before this boutique. But I digress... I spot the jewelry counter where two sales women were waiting on customers. Both said that they would be with me in just a moment. However, noticing that the two customers both donned an extensive amount of jewelry and bracelets on each on arm, both wearing a Pandora bracelet choked full of charms....I decided this might take a while. So, I did what anyone else with the patience of toddler would do...I butted in. I asked, politely, the price range on the charms. The sales lady, who didn't seem to mind the interruption since the customer was busy looking through a gamut of charms, told me that the charms run $30 and up. Hmmm I was discouraged. She said that I could look around and when she was free, look over some charms with me. I said thanks, but I was in a hurry. She handed me a thick catalog of jewelry to take home with me. I have to give the store 4 stars for the following: cleanliness, friendliness of the staff, selection, and quality of the products. I can't really fault the boutique for my cheapness or lack of patience. I may be back to purchase something for myself when I have more time to look around or if I was looking for a special, unique gift.

4.5 stars. Serendipity Tea Room currently offers High Tea for $30 per person, Lite Tea for $25 per…read moreperson, and Princess Tea for $15 per child, plus tax and gratuity. I made a reservation for the High Tea for my husband and me. An employee promptly seated us. I felt disappointed that this tea room gave us plain white teapots without loose-leaf teas and that they did courses rather than use a three-tier stand of foods, but we did have some choice in the teas and foods, and they did taste very good. The High Tea consists of the following: pots of hot water with a large selection of tea bags, choice of cold drinks, scone with devonshire, choice of soup, salad, three sandwiches, and choice of three desserts. For drinks, we chose four teas--cinnamon plum, peach and passionfruit, English breakfast, and salted caramel--not just two teas like at other tea rooms. We received colds teas, peach and sweet, included in the price. For foods, we chose two scones, M&M and one other that I forget. We chose two soups, which were chicken noodle and cheesy potato. The salad contained greens, cheeses, peanuts, cranberries, and raspberry dressing. The three sandwiches were cucumber, tomato-bacon-basil, and my favorite of chicken salad. For desserts, we chose lemon cake, carrot-cake cupcake, pineapple cake (?), cheesecake, brownie, and my favorite of cherry-chocolate ice cream. I appreciated having a cold dessert in the middle of the hot summer, and it was one of the best ice creams that I have ever tasted. The employees' service was mostly good. However, I had asked them in my reservation if I could film a video of my meal, and they said yes. But then an employee got an impatient tone of voice when I was still filming my food and they were bringing out the next course. On social media, my video got over *27 times* the views that their compensated influencer had gotten months earlier!
