This location used to be a Gigi's Cupcakes, but apparently it was sold to Bella Christie's. Bella…read moreChristie's is a locally owned bakery whose first location is in Aspinwall. Bella Christie's bakers and pastry chefs make cakes, cookies, cupcakes, and pastries. They even make custom cakes and event tables for weddings, birthdays, and other special events. Cakes are available in about a dozen flavors (e.g., vanilla, chocolate, banana, and hazelnut) with about a few dozen flavors of fillings (e.g., almond custard, mango mousse, raspberry jam, peach compote, espresso buttercream, and fruit). When I entered this business, I saw two display cases that were full of macarons, cheesecakes, mini cupcakes, cupcakes, cookies, and brownies. An employee immediately and kindly greeted me. As I was selecting my desserts, the employee carefully bagged and boxed them. She accurately rang up my purchase, and she thanked me. Here are my reviews for the desserts: Strawberry milkshake cookie - $2.75 - 4.5 stars - This cookie looked the prettiest in the display and had the most unique-sounding flavor. It was pink and had sprinkles and white chips mixed in. The cookie was a large size, and it was fresh and moist. I liked the strawberry flavor. Strawberry milkshake cupcake - $4.25 - 4.5 stars - Can you tell that I like strawberry milkshakes? :) This cupcake was a good size, and it consisted of moist pink cake that had strawberry pieces mixed in. It was topped with fresh, creamy strawberry and white icing with sprinkles. On top was a paper straw, and I put it in my mouth because I had assumed that it was white chocolate--oops! Lemon blueberry cupcake - $4.25 - 4.5 stars - This cupcake was also a good size. The cake was lemon yellow with a few blueberries mixed in. On top was a blueberry-flavored buttercream icing that was topped with two fresh blueberries and a lemon gummy. I enjoyed these flavors. Turtle cheesecake - $4.50 - No rating - My husband ate this cheesecake. He said, "It was fine." One additional thing that I noticed was that the plastic tray that held the cupcakes was type 6 plastic, which is not recyclable in our community. I wonder if the owners could explore other options for the tray.

I usually only grab coffee or donuts from Dunkin, so it was fun to try something new. I was hesitant to do a refresher because I'm not a fan of the overpriced version from Starbucks.... BUT here you can pick from four syrups and what to mix it in... green tea, lemonade, black tea, or sparkling water. I got the mango in lemonade and it was definitely refreshing. Drive thru was fast and simple. Even though the order speaker is tucked around the corner of the building. The staff was great and made it simple to grab a quick drink. The store seemed quiet... and empty. I assume most people just use the drive thru.

Their menu is…read moresimple, the ingredients are generally fresh, and it's just an easy overall ordering experience. That said, I haven't worked downtown in years, and since that time have found myself craving the simple sub. Bobs in Gibsonia, while not quite as convenient to my downtown office days, is close enough and I have found myself here. This location is really cute with an old school vibe. But also clean and quick. IMHO this is as good a sub place as you will find in the Burgh for something fresh and filling (read - I'm excluding greasy options like Peppis).

Peace, Love, and Little Donuts is a Pittsburgh-based restaurant chain that was founded in 2009 and…read morenow has dozens of locations in several states. It makes and sells little tasty donuts in many dozens of flavors as well as beverages such as coffees and teas. "Funkadelic" flavors of donuts contain the most creative ingredients and have the highest price. Examples are banana split, blueberry pancake, coffee cake, fruity pebbles, M&M, maple-bacon, Oreo cheesecake, Robert Brûlée, S'mores, and Snick Jagger. "Far Out" flavors of donuts are topped with icing such as banana, chocolate, lemon, mocha, raspberry, and strawberry. "Groovy" flavors are the plainest and the least expensive, and they are available in flavors such as powdered sugar, cinnamon, ginger, honey, and maple glazed. For years, I have purchased donuts from this particular location in Wexford. Last year, I used their website to place an online order for dozens of donuts, and the employees prepared my donuts for my designated pickup time. This year, I purchased 2.5 dozens of donuts in person. The employees kindly greeted me, gave me two free cinnamon donuts, and carefully made my Funkadelic and Far Out donuts in various flavors. The employees accurately charged me, and they thanked me for stopping in and told me to enjoy the rest of my day. My husband and I enjoy nearly all of the flavors of donuts, but our favorites might be the Apple Pie, Heath Wind and Fire, Magically Delicious (marshmallows), PB&J, and Samoa. Furthermore, this business sells donuts for dogs. Last year, I bought two of these donuts for my dog Olive, and she immediately salivated, licked her lips, and gobbled up those donuts.

So we settled for a pumpkin tart. It was not fresh. The pumpkin flavor was excellent and tasty, but the dome portion of the pastry was still frozen as it crunched and was freezing when I bit it. The base was chewy and lacked flavor. The chocolate chip cookies were good... just a typical cookie.

Guy at the counter - not the friendliest . Not too sure if something is wrong with IT, but…read moreeverytime we'd try to put in an order he'd get snippy and say, "hold on!" Dude.. decaf capp, single espresso, croissant, and key lime torte. That's just four things... but it was his tone that was unsettling. Dirty tables everywhere. At the whole place, there were like 4 occupied tables, the rest was all filthy except for the one by the door which we snagged. It starting smoking in there and became hazy I thought I had blinked my contacts out. Then at one point it reaked of microwaved fish which permeated through our jackets and then stenched up my car which I aired out eventually. I think they reversed our drinks because my friend was wired and I became sleepier haha. They also only have plain granulated sugar and substitutes. No In the Raw turbinado.
