“Nice, personal service and fantastic food!!“

“The lack of Wi-Fi is confusing for a coffeeshop. It was the only reason I came in“

“Stopped here for a drink since I was in the area. I had the Vietnamese Cold Brew and it was really good. Unfortunately the location isn't convenient for me but I would visit again if I was in town. Great service as well!“

“Great coffee, excellent staff and delicious food.“

“Love this hidden little gem! Always loved chatting with the owners and workers, but always just passing through and got my coffee to go. Today my internet went out at home and I got to work there for a few hours - just the nicest people and great coffee!“

“Best lavender vanilla latte I've ever had. Super cool vibe!“

“We love Ka-Fair. The staff are wonderful, and always quick to accommodate any special requests. And the food is wonderful. (We are OBSESSED with the crepe cake!) It’s such a unique spot, and we’re glad to have it within walking distance.“

“Great casual vibe, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Very high quality ingredients and dishes, well prepared, and a nice variety of things. We’ve done brunch (amazing!) and dinner, and it’s a great value as well (a no-tipping business).“

“Inside Ruckus Coffee Gallery & Cafe is a great event space! So grateful for Chris who helped me to coordinate a wedding shower for my friends. From planning the catering menu, to allowing me to come a day early for setup, to being so kind and accommodating day-of, very pleased with the choice to hold this event in the Ruckus Room. Food was delicious, Nevada who bartended for us was great, and the space was big but still cozy and easily able to be elevated with minimal decor. Will definitely think Ruckus for future private events and, in the meantime, for good coffee and cafe vibes!“

“Fantastic tea and hip atmosphere.. A++“

“DELICIOUS! Lunch was fantastic! We had a California Burger, Chicken Sandwich, and a Caprese Sandwich, all were fantastic! Besides the incredibly memorable meal the service was top-notch. Everyone went above and beyond to make our visit relaxing and enjoyable. The whole staff was cheerful and accommodating. PS …get the PB Cookies, eat them as an appetizer even. yummy 😋“

“Super friendly service and a great place to hang out!“

“We absolutely loved our vegan wedding cake from The Butterwood Bake Consortium for our Summer 2023 wedding. The team at Butterwood Bake Consortium was kind and communicative. Our two-tiered orange olive oil cake with vanilla semi-naked buttercream was so delicious and the florals were the perfect touch for our wedding theme! I highly recommend for all your wedding cake needs!!! Photography: @nicoleviews photography“

“Very welcoming place. Great food and friendly people“

“Amazing food and the owner is an absolute gem“

“Fantastic tea and hip atmosphere.. A++“

“Went to breakfast today, eggs Benedict was delicious, daughter and wife loved the pancakes and fruit. Nice menu with lots to try. Place was busy but they are super friendly and work together. Got a cookie to go was also delicious.“

“I stopped in last night, there were two young ladies behind the bar that didn't acknowledge my presence. But when I came in there was a young man sweeping the floor because it was almost closing time and he put the broom down and came behind the bar to wait on me. He's the superstar in this story! Even after he got my drink, the young ladies behind the bar never made eye contact with me. Hard to believe you can go to a place in East Liberty and be treated as if you are invisible.“

“I've been wanting to try here forever and could kick myself for not! Best western omlette I've ever had. Everyone is super friendly here. Can't beat the prices either.“

“I ate here yesterday !!! and could'nt get past the GUMBO. And that cornbread on the side, just made me do a MAMBO. Soon I looked down in dread as I lowered my head to see the bowl, empty,below. The quick thinker I am, to get out this jam, I just ordered four more to go! ( with peach cobbler and carrot cake for dessert).“

“Fantastic tea and hip atmosphere.. A++“

“Took my daughter to The Nightmare before Mixtape Tim Burton themed event. The hosts were wonderful!!! Beetlejuice and Lydia absolutely nailed it. The decor was super cute and very well done and the mocktails were perfect. The games were also a nice touch. I think the time slot was the perfect amount of time for the price!“

“I’m actually mad at myself for discovering this place so late. I have to say this is probably going to become my number one spot to work from. The reasons are pretty clear.
Space is extremely large, and there are multiple types of seating where you can work solo or with a group. There is free Wi-Fi as well as plug points.
The coffee is delicious and they have Vietnamese coffee, which is one of my favourites.
The banh-mi was delicious and although not entirely traditional, it was extremely tasty.
Everyone was becoming and nice. Will be back again for sure.“

“Great atmosphere, comfy & clean seating, delicious food that is beautifully presented.“

“Wonderful evening at cafe Momentum. The service, the food,the environment was amazing. The kids who are learning were so friendly. Will definitely be back. And if you needed another reason to go to this restaurant it BYOB.“

“Al wealth management has a proven track record of success, with impressive returns and a strong commitment to risk management. Their AI-driven approach is cutting-edge and sets them apart from traditional wealth management firms. I've seen firsthand how their personalized strategies have helped clients achieve their financial goals, and I highly recommend Kristen Tanya“

“Great atmosphere, comfy & clean seating, delicious food that is beautifully presented.“

“Thank you to Erin for the wonderful food that was made for my son’s graduation party! Everything was delicious and there was such a good variety of food for everyone. Thanks again for everything!“

“We had the most awesome crepes and frappes at Treats and Beans on Myeran Ave in Oakland. The staff was fantastic and so friendly. Totally reccomend to anyone that has a sweet tooth!!!“

“The employees of this bakery are the absolute nicest, and were super willing to offer up their sourdough tips! I appreciate it so much! And their Asiago bread? Delightful! Will hopefully be back to try more soon! 😊“

“Best coffee shop in the South Hills area, and top 5 of any cafe I've been to. Awesome staff, world class coffee. Been going here for longer than a decade and never once have been disappointed.“

“Delicious donuts and friendly staff!“

“Best food spot in the city ✨💪🏾🌱“

“So delicious and fresh!!! ❤️ The Spot“

“The vanilla latte was delicious. I ordered a large to go. The pastries and croissants are delicious as well. Highly recommend this place“

“Clean and cozy vibes. The cafe interior was well setup and really quiet. Most customers were studying and not rowdy which I appreciated.

The drink portions here are great and very well priced. Cookies were a bit dry and hard. Would come again.“

“A very nice little bubble tea shop on Centre Ave. The atmosphere is quite good and the company’s entire branding just has a feel good feel to it. They also have a shop in Ross Park Mall. I tried out their classic brown sugar milk tea as well as a milk chocolate mocha donut.

To be honest, the brown sugar boba was pretty average. There wasn’t anything too special about it. Nice and light drink, not crazy sweet, which was nice. Not much boba in it though. Price was okay. They had a donut and drink combo for a decent price.

The real star of this snack break was the mochi donut. It’s got a very cool, chewy texture to it. The milk chocolate on top really added a lovely sweet touch to it. I would even definitely recommend trying one.

All in all, a cute little boba shop. Decent drinks, but the mochi donuts are what are really unique and tasty.

Kid-friendliness: Kids would enjoy the drinks and donuts especially“

“the facilities are great, museum carriage House gift Center conservatory Clayton tours. don't waste your time at the cafe. did not feel welcome there too many policies that are inhospitable. policies that are not welcoming. also the manager is rude and Ben's the policy rules for certain people in certain groups. also don't believe the menu they post I thought the menu you'll get when you go in. it's a little overpriced for what's offered. the food is fairly average nothing outstanding it can't be made in your kitchen. plan to go to the property do the tours and museum and then you'll find better restaurants more hospitable off property in the area.“

“I never understood what all the fuss was about re: donuts until I had Just Good Donuts. I didn’t even have em fresh, they were at my sisters house a day old, still the best donuts I ever had“

“I often work remotely from my laptop, and this shop has always been my go-to after moving to the Southside in 2020. The atmosphere is incredibly cozy and the baristas are extra attentive and caring. I love this spot so much so that after two years of being a "regular" I started working here part time. As a customer turned employee, I can honestly say that being behind the counter is just as amazing as my experience from the other side of the bar. Lavinia puts so much heart into every detail and cares deeply about fostering a sense of community within the shop (for both employees and customers). I recommend Delanie's to everyone in hopes of it becoming their favorite spot too!“

“The crepes are buckwheat, which it was not mentioned on the menu. They did ask if we had food allergies, which we do and they were very competent regarding food allergies. We go there around 11 the place was extremely busy after we got our food.

Not my favorite crepe place, would be better to have turkey or chicken crepes. They were soft, i prefer crunchy in a triangle.

There were lots of spider webs around their decorations, ick.

Dietary restrictions: Great for those with food allergies.

Wheelchair accessibility: not accessible.“

“Great lunch! Fresh sandwiches😃“

“This is a lovely little takeout and eatery - and what is not to like for a place named after the wonderful, laughing Australian Bird - The Kookaburra!! I go whenever I am at the National Aviary. A limited but nice menu - the Daily special is usually delicious. Call ahead to see if they are open especially with the COVID -“
