Neighborhood. A coffee klatch place if there ever was one! What a great walkable neighborhood friendly place! And the coffee is good too. I saw men friends groups, moms, kids, solo folk on computers, and a whole slice of life at A&A. I think my favorite thing was the comfort of the location, I felt at home in a strange place.

This is a cute little place that I never knew existed even though I’ve driven past it doesn’t sometimes. They have a pretty good menu selection of different copies and are very good with allergies . They have more than one option for non-dairy creamer, which I find amazing

Great environment, best wifi speeds I have ever experienced in a coffee shop, enough plugs, unfortunately no gluten free pastries but the food they had looked good. The coffee tasted good and they do have outdoor seating.

I work from here all the time, the owner is really nice and the coffee is great! Typically a quieter coffee shop unless you are here on a Friday. I’d recommend the Old Fashioned coffee or any of the specialties (smokestack is also good!). Also the breakfast bend sandwich is tasty.

Always a great atmosphere- relaxing and plenty of space to work or hang out. I meet clients here a lot, and there’s always plenty of space. Great coffee shop to stop in and work for a few hours. Also have a nice selection for quick breakfast or lunch.

This local landmark has become a favorite of mine in the last several months. They're doling out not just finest coffees and teas, but Pittsburgh favorites like Oram's donuts and Millie's ice cream. Thanks for being such a strong support to your community!
