Fresh juice. Fresh vibe!!…read more To start a work day in Shadyside, I wanted something fresh and healthy... but also kinda like a treat. A quick Yelp search... and Lucid Juice!! I ordered Mango Madness and it was soo good. You could taste all the different fruits and it was definitely smoothhh. The staff was very helpful in selecting the smoothie for you... which is always a plus at place with fun names and so many options. The fresh decor is also a plus... from a very expensive counter top... yeah that's right.. pennies no longer exist but this full countertop does!!

Tropical Smoothie Cafe is the only place I buy smoothies…read more I love the options, the consistency and the control over sweetness. OPTIONS There are so many smoothies to choose from, to start: all fruit, yogurt-based, seasonal and featured drinks. But you can also add and remove ingredients to make a totally customized smoothie. CONSISTENCY While it might not be important to everyone, I like that I can go there and get the same smoothie every time I order it. No one is perfect, but overall, they are consistent. SWEETNESS This is probably the most important to me, as I cannot handle a super sweet, syrupy, chemical-tasting smoothie. I have tried my smoothies from here with no added turbinado sugar and then with half. I prefer the half. The smoothies here are not cheap, but you get what you pay for. They mostly come in one size, a large amount, which I like. The cups are probably not great for the environment, but they do keep the smoothies cold. (If I could change one thing, it would be that.) This review is based solely on the smoothies. I have never eaten food here.

Tropical smoothie is still as good as it's always been! The prices are definitely higher and I…read moredidn't notice the special they've always run where you can get a smoothie and half a sandwich or wrap for less. But regardless, the food was fresh and the people working there were friendly and made our food quickly! I would definitely go back to this location.

My Americano was delicious and the price wasn't crazy. My daughter has had a couple different lattes and she has liked them all. Workers are friendly. Overall, a really nice coffee shop.

Great cafe with vegan and gluten free options, plus yummy lattes!…read more The coffee here was really nice, I really enjoyed the Centred Latte, a vanilla latte with cinnamon, and their other ones looked good too! I wish they listed the descriptions of what the flavors are for the signature drinks though so I don't have to bother the staff on what each thing actually is while it's busy. The pastries here all looked great with different flavors, I liked the Pecan Cherry scone a lot, with actual cherries mixed in! It is vegan and gf, which means the texture is definitely very different from traditional pastries, but one of the best vegan ones I've ever had. Excited to come back and try more!

I stopped by here this past Sunday with my family for our morning coffee. Every weekend we try to…read morehit up a new local coffee shop, and on this morning it happened to be Tous Les Jours. This shop is part of a larger chain but currently appears to be the only location in the Pittsburgh area. It's located in East Liberty and is really more of a bakery than a coffee shop. The inside is split about 50/50, with half dedicated to seating and the other half serving as a self-serve bakery. You grab a tray and tongs before walking around selecting whichever baked goods catch your eye. They also have display cases filled with cakes and other pastries that need to be kept refrigerated. For my coffee on this morning I went with a 16 oz hot honey lavender macchiato while my wife chose a 16 oz iced tiramisu latte. I have to admit that the name of my drink confused me a bit at first, but it ended up being a latte macchiato as expected. With that being said, I thought it was quite good. The lavender was light enough to be noticeable without overpowering the drink, while the honey added just the right amount of sweetness. The espresso was also present, especially on the finish, where it added both flavor and body. My wife also enjoyed her latte and appreciated the tiramisu flavors throughout. Outside of the coffee, we ordered a number of pastries. My wife chose the Crookie, which is a cookie baked on top of a croissant. My son picked out a chocolate-covered Belgian waffle, while my daughter chose the strawberry soft bread. All of them enjoyed what they ordered, and I think my wife especially loved the Crookie. As for me, I went a little overboard and chose a garlic and cheese croissant, a curry croquette, pork-dusted bread, and a sweet taro cream bread. All of them were delicious in their own way. The garlic and cheese croissant was a nice savory option, with plenty of garlic flavor and a crispy cheese crust. The curry croquette had wonderful warming spices that made it especially flavorful. The pork-dusted bread was definitely the most unusual item. The pork topping reminded me of Wild Bill's Beef Jerky, and somehow those savory flavors worked really well on top of the crunchy laminated bread. Last but certainly not least was the taro cream bread. I was impressed by how light it felt despite being packed with an impressive amount of cream filling. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. I'm a sucker for bakeries like this and clearly ordered far more than my waistline needed, but everything I tried was enjoyable. While the coffee was good, the pastries are the real reason to visit, with the coffee serving as an excellent complement.

My husband also enjoyed the almond croissant. We have also enjoyed cookies and cheesecake. The egg custard pastry is so creamy and delicious. The butter Madeleine is buttery goodness.

Do you even know Pittsburgh restaurants, if you don't know Square Cafe?…read more Was it packed? Yes Did we have to wait? Yup But isn't that what we want for our favorite businesses ... and isn't even better when they are fully equipped for their popularity and make the experience great through it all We were immediately greeted by the hostess and given an accurate wait time. You could see the runners and bus team hustling to move along service and turn over tables. As soon as we were seated, the waiter came over and told us to be easy with orders and honestly our coffees and our meals came ridiculously quickly given that every table was fully seated. Okay... so that's how they are awesome despite the overwhelming popularity. Let's just cover the real scoop as to why they are so popular. The restaurant is colorfully decorated with local art and contact to purchase the displayed items. The table has a QR code of Pittsburgh Bucket List places to visit.. so this place is built on community. The menu is filled with modern yummy takes on food, options for every diet, and some extremely inventive local favorites.. I couldn't see a Reuben Benedict and not order it. Marbled Rye toasted with freshly pulled apart corned beef, Russian dressing, and of course a perfectly poached egg with hollandaise. My wife ordered the Chive Biscuit Breakfast Sandwich... and let me tell you that biscuit would be good for every meal of the day! The seasonal drink menu sounds delicious too but we went with a Chai Tea Latte and a French Toast Latte. This place is a Pittsburgh destination! You gotta go to Square Cafe!

Went to get coffee for coworkers. Met with sign reading 'back in 10'. That's fine. I know this…read moreplace is normally ran by 1 employee, so was more than happy to wait. I started waiting at 11:05. Almost a half hour later (11:33 at time of writing), still a no show from the employee. Very disappointed and I met a few customers outside who also were waiting. Very disappointing and unprofessional considering the already limited hours of this location.

They have a few little tables outside to enjoy your coffee along with some inside as well. They have a sign on a busier walkway to show that they are there. It's sad that people probably miss this hidden gem as it's not on a major traveled road but it certainly is worth the stop!

I had my order delivered. For $32 I got a cardboard container (similar to Chinese takeout) that was…read more3/4 brown rice. It had tofu, which I didn't want and 4 tiny little bits of chicken, which I did order. I added broccoli and got 4 tiny little pieces of yellow broccoli. I added mushrooms and there were 4 slices of mushrooms, a couple pieces of cilantro, and maybe 5 pieces of baby spinach. I guess they say that the sauce is absorbed by the rice, because there was no coconut curry sauce. The dish neither tasted of coconut or curry, even though the name of the dish is Coconut Curry. I asked for lime and got a lemon. This was my first and last time buying anything from HoneyGrow in Pittsburgh. I am glad that other people had good experiences. I am sure that it is better if you order it in the restaurant and see what they are putting in your dish.
