I met up with someone here today and the interior is bright and welcoming. I noticed a couple of small exterior tables outside the café for nice weather, too. The people are so kind. They have an assortment of delicious looking pastries like croissants, muffins and donuts. Most importantly the drinks are delicious. Housemade syrups and they had about five seasonal specials of both lattes and Matchas! I had a double pistachio Matcha and when I asked about it they told me how they make the syrup and the foam and my goodness it was amazing. I will be stopping by here frequently!

When I came to Pitt, it became routine that I grabbed a bubble tea once a week before class or as a treat on the weekends. I am always sure to stop in and grab my favorite drink if I am in the area. Not only are the workers super friendly, but the drinks are delicious and consistently good. I love the bright interior of the shop and that there is inside seating, so you can enjoy your drink inside (especially during the colder months in PA). My go-to order is a black iced tea lemonade with strawberry flavor and lychee popping boba, but there are so many flavor options that you can really mix it up based on your personal preference. Its location on Forbes Ave makes it fairly easy to get to, especially if you are a student living on Pitt's campus. Do yourself a favor and grab a bubble tea if you are ever in the area!

The menu also lists latte, chai, mocha, matcha, lotus, tea, soda, and smoothie beverages. Foods include breakfast sandwiches, bagels, cinnamon rolls, quiches, cookies, and coffee cakes. I was a customer here one time on a Saturday. The business was busy with customers, but the employees worked efficiently and politely. I was lucky enough to get some seating indoors. The business had racks and shelves of new and secondhand goods such as totes, shirts, hats, mugs, and shoes. Furthermore, Harmony Acres farm was there to sell their milks and cheeses, and I got to see one of their calves. For $20, I bought the Signature Flight, which consisted of Aloha Latte (espresso, coconut, and macadamia), RoseAnn Latte (espresso, chocolate, caramel, and cream), Matcha Latte (matcha, vanilla, and cold foam), Chai Latte (chai tea and milk), and Blue Bird Lotus (blueberry, açaí, and coconut). The cups were a decent size. I liked some flavors more than others, but I appreciated sampling a variety of flavors.

I stopped by here earlier today with my family for our morning coffee. Every weekend we try to hit…read moreup a new local coffee shop, and this morning we happened to be headed to Idlewild and found that Cuties Coffee was mostly on the way. So we stopped there shortly before 11 AM on Labor Day, and the place was absolutely mobbed, with people waiting outside the door to order. The outside was decorated for Halloween with ghosts, which was fun, while the inside felt warm and inviting, albeit crowded. There were also stairs leading to a second floor, which I wasn't able to check out, along with a bunch of tables outside as well. For our coffees this morning, I got a large hot oatmeal cream pie latte while my wife got a large iced spooky Samoa cold brew. The wait before we received our coffees and were on our way was somewhere between 15 and 30 minutes, and it took longer than expected, probably due to poor timing on our part. At least the coffee here was quite good. The coffee flavor itself was strong and shone through, and it definitely tasted fresh roasted. The oatmeal cream flavor was also present, with some oatmeal up front and a marshmallow-like flavor toward the finish. My coffee even came with a small oatmeal cream pie as well. My wife also enjoyed her Samoa cold brew and thought the coconut flavor was really good. Finally, my daughter really enjoyed the cute images on both cups and asked that we save them both. The bottom line for me is that I would stop by here again in the future. While I wasn't a fan of the wait, I did think that both the coffee and flavorings were good here, and I would definitely be interested in trying more.

It's a solid spot for bubble tea with a lot of milk and fruit tea flavor options and many types of boba available. I didn't sign up for the recent Yelp Elite event at another location but it was the first time I noticed this chain carries donuts, so on this visit I decided to give one a try. They are a little pricey at $3.50 each, but a little less expensive in multiples. We split a glazed and one was enough for a snack because the mochi makes these dense! They are really delicious and I was sleeping on these previously; I would order again and maybe try a different flavor such as dark chocolate glazed, although the plain glazed was honestly perfect, allowing the texture and flavor of the donut to shine through. There is frequently a short line here but the staff is highly efficient and turns it over quickly. On this visit the family in front of me snatched my donut from the counter, and the staff was quick to replace it with no complaint, which I appreciated as it wasn't their fault either. I usually take my tea to go, but the nearby food court provides ample space to enjoy your treats if you'd like to sit for a moment.

The donuts, Oreo & sprinkle, had amazing toppings and filling but the donut itself was dry.

Not too friendly, yet also not rude, I think maybe just a bit shy. I went here in particular because I saw they had gluten free everything bagels & vegan cream cheese, so I was sooo excited to order it, but unfortunately they did not have any gluten free bagels at that time. I looked around for another GF & DF option, and landed on a couple of hard boiled eggs. Can't go wrong with a hard boiled egg, hehehe! I ordered a cold brew with the sugar free hazelnut & asked for extra syrup, which I soon determined was not necessary. That's a great thing though! It was an amazing sugar free syrup & if you get the SF hazelnut I'd suggest just keeping the amount as is. Their cold brew itself was really yummy too (well from what I could tell because I accidentally asked for too much syrup, hahaha). It is so stinkin' cute inside this shop and I wish I had more time to look around a bit. I definitely plan to go back, and fingers crossed I can try the GF everything bagel next time! I'd love to look around more inside & actually dine in, because it felt wicked cozy! I also love that they offer glassware options for those who dine-in, plus they use compostable items for take-out. Heck yeah! I really recommend checking this place out :)

The cafe is nestled in the upper Lawrenceville... where parking is simple and life is slower lol From first glance, this establishment is ready to make you feel right at home. With cute signage everywhere instructing you on there sustainability practices and fun flavors of the month, you go from first time to feeling like a regular instantly. The lattes... were.... DELIGHTFUL. We got a peppermint latte and a vanilla oat milk latte. The flavors were rich but not cloyingly overpowering. We also ordered a breakfast hand pie (why does life not use the term hand pie more often, you just feel so fun ordering one) and an Egg & Cheese Bagel. Both freshly put together and toasted to perfection. It is great when a cafe has actually delicious and intentional food. The staff was more than ready to give their suggestions and help. They kindly announce when your order is ready and wait with a smile to hand it off to you! There were plenty of cute places to sit and the decor was just so.. them. They have a restroom available and well marked as well. We may have a passport full of coffee places to try, but Caffe d'Amore might just have to be a regular spot during the journey anyway!!
