A homemade syrup goes great lengths. I had the homemade raspberry in a mocha and it was absolutely delicious, rich, and divine while still being able to actually taste the espresso/coffee flavors. This is just the way a perfectly crafted latte should be in my opinion. Space is small, standing room only inside. More of a grab and go situation. The man working on the Sunday morning I stopped in was friendly, quick, and efficient. Service wasn't the quickest since there was a small line inside and only one person working, but this was not an issue for a Sunday morning coffee stop where I was willing to take my time!

I stopped by here yesterday with my family for our morning coffee. Every weekend we try to hit up a…read morenew local coffee shop and on this morning it happened to be Northerness Coffee. I did not have this shop on my radar and only found it because we were in Zelienople. It is located on a side street right off Main Street and parking was easy as there were a number of spots both in front and just past it. The shop itself is welcoming with a dark brown colored floor, a grey brick coffee bar and a wooden board ceiling. The tables are all live edge and the photos around the shop focus on nature. There is also a small area with merchandise for sale. For my coffee this morning I decided to go with an Americano while my wife went with an iced vanilla latte. We also picked up a stamped gingerbread molasses shortbread cookie and a biscotti which we shared with our kids. The biscotti had a nice snap and great flavor while the gingerbread cookie was deep and rich with those warm gingerbread spices. It was good enough that I went back up and bought another one just for my wife. As for the coffee, both my wife and I really enjoyed it. My Americano came out piping hot. After letting it cool a bit I tried it and thought the flavor was excellent. Letting the coffee speak for itself was the right move here. It had some fruity notes before finishing with a natural sweetness that I really enjoy in coffee. I would not call it bold, probably due to the size of the Americano, but it certainly was not muted either. Honestly, if I had added milk or creamer to this cup I think it would have ruined the flavor that I liked so much. My only issue was that the bottom quarter of the cup had a lot of grounds in it. There were enough that I ended up throwing the rest away. I was also able to try my wife's coffee and really enjoyed what I think was a homemade vanilla flavoring. It almost had a caramel like note that paired nicely with the coffee. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. My wife and I both liked the vibe of the shop and the coffee was very good. I only wish my Americano had not been filled with grounds at the bottom.

This place is a national chain. That should tell you everything you need to know without going any…read morefurther. Nonetheless, I will list out the ways in which I think you might have a better experience going to another national chain ANY other national coffee chain, take your pick. I came here for the first time since the Pittsburgh location is within walking distance from my apartment. I was hoping to order a coffee and sit with my laptop for the afternoon on a weekday. In checking out the online menu before my visit, I discovered that Shibam is a national chain with many locations and its own app for ordering. In the app, the iced drinks appear to be served in glass, but in-person, they are not. Their house-branded plastic cups are hard to sip from. I couldn't get a decent sip of my iced latte without sounding like a wet-vac. How is the price? Is the quality worth it? Quick answer: no and no. I paid $8.67 for their flagship iced latte, The Shibam. It was prepared quickly since the shop was not busy. I couldn't even contemplate a pastry because except for the $3+ croissant, every offering was pricey. Add those numbers together, with an iced latte and a $8.10 "milk cake," for example, that's over $16, not to mention the app shoves the tip option in your face every step of checkout. My latte was weirdly separated (see photo) and took awhile to come together as a cohesive drink. Lastly, my lid was not fully applied to my cup when it was left on the pick-up shelf at the back of the shop by the barista. What can I say about the shop's interior? Too bright, too loud. I would describe it as hospital-chic. The floors are white, the tables are fake Carrara marble, and most of the walls an antiseptic gray with a handful of cultural motifs thrown in for good measure. Only the caning on the chairs add the only form of visual interest; everything else is as special as a mini-mall. The place echoes like the Grand Canyon. In other words, it's not a discreet spot to hold your spy meetings with your cadre because every word can be heard 'round the world. Yeesh. Final verdict: save your money and go elsewhere. I couldn't finish my $8 iced latte.
