COFFEE & DRINKS: The black coffee sits between Dunkin' and Starbucks in terms of strength--not weak, but not overly bold either. The Turkish espresso was excellent and came with nice presentation (traditional cups, tray, and utensil). FOOD: Tried the butter croissant, almond croissant, chocolate mousse cake, and Turkish delights (similar to gummy candy). All were fresh and worth ordering. SEATING: 5-7 laptop-friendly spots depending on how you count the larger booths. Mix of booth and table seating, all comfortable for extended sessions. LAPTOP-FRIENDLY: Outlets available in the booth seating and alongside the larger tables. WiFi was reliable. Generally quiet during off-peak hours. ATMOSPHERE: Warm, modern, cozy Mediterranean vibe with earthy colors, soft lighting, and comfy booths. Relaxed environment that's inviting and calm--stylish without being precious or flashy. Conducive to both focus work, dates, and casual meetings. SERVICE: Baristas were friendly and sociable without being intrusive. VALUE: Standard pricing for a quality local cafe. GOOD TO KNOW: Parking can be tricky in Squirrel Hill if you're unfamiliar with the area, but street parking is ample (paid/metered or free with some walking) if you're willing to walk a short distance. Open late. Study-friendly locations near CMU tend to be busier during fall and spring semesters. I'll be back regularly for work sessions.

Very solid coffee and a few more exotic items as well. I tried out their Turkish coffee as well as…read moresome of the Turkish delights/lokum. They were both quite good. The Turkish coffee was served in a very unique way. They brought out the general coffee separate from a foam, which you could then mix or drink separately. Very cool, not too bitter, good texture. Bit on the expensive side but not too much. The Turkish delight was also good, but a bit overpriced in my opinion. They come straight from a box. I honestly wanted to try another one of their special drinks, but they were out. I recommend the special menu! The space itself is decently small but nice, and the girl working there was sweet and the spot is open late!

Was craving fried chicken and we decided to go there because we loved their chicken…read more Going during the week was so much better. There were only a few people there. The poor bartender had to run all over the restaurant. He had to ring you up, make drinks, bring people their food, fix their games and handle any drama that came up on the games. He was so nice and gave great service. The French fries with cheese,, bbq and fried chicken was good. I love a lot of condiments normally but this was a bit much. I enjoyed it but would have preferred a fried chicken sandwich. My husband said the fried chicken and Seasoned Crinkle Fries were excellent. Would like to go back to play duck pin bowling and the awesome video games. I bet it would be fun.

The food here is actually decent with regard to taste, but it's expensive for what you get, which…read moreis to be expected in a gimmick bar and industry norm. Service was fine, everyone was helpful and quick. The ambiance is incredible. Old cartoon characters and stylish variety throughout the place. The issue is the games are outrageously priced. Compare this to Pins where the games are free and it's a no question in my mind where I would go for an arcade night. My fear is that despite decent food and an awesome atmosphere this place will be closed when their greed with their games comes back to bite them. I wish them well but have decided after a few trips, I've had my last

Since it is located in an adjacent neighborhood to where we lived it made for an easy walk. I upped one star. I see a lot of the reviews are mid. I gotta say we've always had a pleasant experience from drinks to service and food. They get crazy busy on the weekends and I imagine food and service quality can suffer. But like I said, we never saw that side of things. In fact, the next time I'm home in Pittsburgh, I have plans to meet up with friends for brunch.

They had a free plant section which I loved. There were about 4 small tables inside so don't expect a ton of seating. The prices were super reasonable - I got a peppermint mocha with oat milk and a pumpkin spice latte with oat milk. Coffee was great and the sweetness was perfect - not overall sweet. I wish they had more food selection but it was still good. There is not a fixed menu and they rotate what they make I believe. We all had a sourdough breakfast sandwich with bacon, egg, and cheese which they heat up for you. All of their food is displayed in the cases. They had pepperoni rolls, muffins, croissants, scones, etc.

I believe that The Garden Cafe uses la prima beans which are one of my favorite local roasters. I ended up getting my coffee to go, but I love that there is a lot of local influence within the coffee shop. There are advertisements for local events, local art for sale, and a little library. The fridge in the back is open for anyone who is facing food insecurity too. Overall, the inside space of The Garden Cafe is cozy and makes me want to read a book there sometime. Service was fast and the baristas really connect with the locals.

Everything from the sandwiches to the scones to the sweets were tasty. They weren't the fanciest I've experienced at afternoon tea but they were good! That being said, they advertise it as high tea which is NOT correct. That's an entirely different thing (more of a supper) and is not interchangeable with "afternoon tea." What they have here is afternoon tea and I wish they would advertise it as such. Aside from that pet peeve of mine, using the wrong terminology, it's a nice spot and I would recommend it if you're in the area.

You get a perfect 19th century setting, which makes for the perfect ambiance. For the tea, I had green tea and hot cinnamon, and both were excellent! The cinnamon takes the cake for best tea with excellent flavor, especially with the hints or orange. Our food was delectable. The pimento cheese sandwich and crostini were fantastic. The chicken salad stuffed gouger was divine. The scones were the best I've had. Crunchy on the outside, while warm and fluffy in the middle. I could have eaten ten of the cinnamon scones. Excellent cheesecake and cream puff. The star of the show was chocolate mousse on a pecan crust. Just yum!!! Phenomenal service, tea, and food made for a wonderful afternoon high tea!! We will be back.
