    Where else can you find some great records, grab a coffee or a beer and see concerts all in the same hour ? Cool place in Pittsburgh old Deutschtown neighborhood on the Northside. Definitely recommend !

    Old fashioned made by Mya!

    I really enjoyed myself at this palace!! The bartender was awesome and friendly and I love the cocktails on draft they have. She made an awesome old fashioned and smoked the orange peel. I didn't get to check out the record store side but the bar was fun!

    Coffee was delicious! I got an iced latte with one of their house made flavors. Very cool and laid back atmosphere. I will be coming back.

    This review is long overdue. I've been buying food and coffee from the Downtown location since my…read morefirst year of college (five years ago). The atmosphere inside is immediately welcoming. Few tables line the walls, but if you're lucky enough, you can claim one right before the lunch rush, when PNC employees raid the place and the soup sells out. If you stop by frequently enough, Charlie, Matt, or another employee might learn your name. The baristas are kind, personable, and have always made any mistake right. Forget the decadent desserts, hot coffee, or savory sandwiches; I keep coming back because I feel respected here. LaGourmandine is tasty, no question. But at this location? It's particularly loving and feels like home. There is free Wi-Fi, and no better place to get work done while enjoying lunch Downtown. My only complaint: be sure to say whether it's for here or to go when checking out. According to an employee, a small paper cup holds more coffee than a small ceramic cup. But coffee tastes much better in ceramic; I hate when it's mistakenly poured into paper.

    Sigh. I saw that they had ceramic cups, including espresso sized cups. I ordered an espresso for…read morehere. And then they handed me a paper cup with a plastic lid. So disappointing! I try so hard not to waste materials with single use cups. I carry a travel cup. If they had only had paper cups, I would have given the barista my travel cup. I explained this, and she poured it into a (cappuccino sized!) ceramic cup for me. The espresso is good, but I prefer the espresso at Yinz, so probably won't come here again. That said, the quiches look really good here...

    Had very high hopes for this place, asked for a gift card for my bday 5 months ago when we booked…read moreour Pittsburgh trip because of reviews. Unfortunately I feel like I kind of fell for a picture/instragram trap. The place was very nicely designed, but the rest was very underwhelming. First two items we tried to order they did not have in stock (10am res). The biscuits & gravy had almost no sausage in it, and just tasted like flour. The bacon was $8 for 3 burnt pieces!? $11 mimosas that's have very little to no champagne. My wife settled for her third choice, Benedict which was decent but of course the most expensive thing on the menu. Service was nonexistent for the most part, and then when we did get helped there was no recommendations when asked and no refills unless we stopped her. Luckily there's many other brunch options in Pittsburgh, so those made up for this the other mornings. But damn our 2/5 for a 4.1/5 YELP spot was super disappointing.

    This was a great stop before the Noah Kahan concert! We were able to get a reservation so we…read moreweren't stressed out. It was still happy hour so that was nice. Just a note, only the happy hour menu is available during that time. For drinks, I was going to get the Hugo spritz but they couldn't make it on that day. I got the regular Aperol Spritz which was good. Got the smoked salmon deviled egg as an app; pretty tasty bite. For my main, I got the burger and it was nice. The meat was nicely smashed to a crisp. I appreciate that they carry gluten free buns too! The fries were pretty good too! Another note, no desserts during happy hour but they have like cookies and muffins. It was a very hot day and they were able to keep it nice and cool inside!

We had a party of 11 and CM didnt miss a beat of course there were a few hiccups along the way but it was worth it! Cafe Momentum-Pittsburgh is located in the heart of downtown. The staff was outstanding and I truly love the mission of CM. We had multiple people waiting on us because of the party size! I ordered a Jamaican ginger beer ($5), the special of the evening a ribeye (medium well of course)with mushroom risotto and grilled asparagus($72). AND an extra side of their homemade biscuits! Ok sooo everything took a minute to come out but it was worth it! I had to send my steak back because it wasnt cooked enough but it was perfect when it returned! It was so much food. I only ate half of my 14-16oz steak and bought the rest BACK TO GA yall and it was even better! The sides were great and nicely seasoned! I am making it my mission to visit EVERY Cafe Momentum! Thanks for an outstanding Ali and the team!! SYOY!

We enjoyed our appetizers: shrimp, French fries and wedge salad. The shrimp with potatoes and chorizo in a slightly spicy sauce was my favorite. For mains we got ravioli, steak, gnocchi and fried chicken. All were very good. The steak was cooked perfectly. The gnocchi were paired with a lamb bolognese--very rich! The fried chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy inside, perfectly done. And we finished with three desserts--sticky toffee pudding, apple crisp and chocolate tort. We will be back!
