    Tu Y Yo is a casual restaurant that serves Latin American foods and beverages. The menu lists several flavors of arepas, which are bread-like cornmeal patties that are filled with various meats, beans, cheeses, vegetables, etcetera. The menu also lists a few flavors of empanadas and other foods. Furthermore, on shelves are packages of foods that are imported from other countries such as Argentina, Cuba, Colombia, and Venezuela. My husband and I ate lunch here on a weekend. Another customer was being served ahead of us, so we waited for several minutes before we placed our order. Two employees cooked all of the foods as made-to-order, and they brought out the foods one-by-one. Some tables and chairs were available to sit at. Here are my reviews for the foods and drink: Vegetable empanada - 3.5 stars - This empanada was made from a crispy dough that was filled with a vegetable mixture. Domino arepa - 5 stars - This arepa contained black beans and white cheese, and I enjoyed the flavors very much. Sifrina arepa - 4 stars - This arepa contained shredded chicken, gouda, and avocado. My husband ate all of it, and he seemed to like it. Americana arepa - 4 stars - My husband also ate this American-style arepa, which was filled with bacon, egg, and cheese. Jarritos Mexican mandarin soda - 5 stars - This soda had a wonderful flavor of mandarin orange.

    A very cute and cozy local cafe. The owners have all sorts of treats from different Latin American countries. They have a decent menu of coffee drinks but also food (empanadas, arepas, pastries). We tried an empanada and some arepas and they were delicious! Also the sweetened coffee drink (made with steamed condensed milk) was amazing. Our favorite food was the chicken arepa! They are still working on their pace and timing so it can take a bit to get your food but the customer service was great. A fun place to hangout and grab a bite if you are not in a hurry!

    I've been here a few times. The food is always so fresh! The crust on the empanadas is amazing! I usually get 2-3. I tried a Cubano once and it was so good, straight off the grill. It was huge though. I had ordered empanadas too and ended up bringing half the sandwich home.

    Spotted this cafe while visiting the city. They have a limited menu (drink and food) but they have plans to expand it to include a variety of things from different Latin American countries. The music and decor are right on point and they also sell a number of Latin products. We ordered a few arepas, a chicken empanada, and a Cuban sandwich. Everything was delicious and had lots of flavor. The arepas and Cuban were each very filling. I also had the chicha with condensed milk and it was fantastic! Not sure how long the cafe has been open but service was a bit slow and we noticed a few customers leave while we waited because they weren't acknowledged. Despite the wait (our order was on the larger side), I'd visit again because everything was so good!

    Love Tu y Yo Cafe!! Their empanadas always hit the spot. This cafe is opposite side of town from where I live so when I am in the area I always make a point to stop! Not the best tables to set up a laptop as they are smaller but I always find joy in getting to stop in between appointments and fire up my computer while I grab a bite to eat. Service is always friendly and prompt. I'm not sure who's coffee beans they serve but they have the best coffee!!

    Cuban sandwich

    I just went here for the first time and I am blown away! I have never had a Cuban sandwich before so I don't have anything to compare this to, but all I can say is: wow!! I will definitely be back. Everything tastes made-from-scratch. I also had a mocha latte. I don't get those from a lot of other places because I typically don't like the chocolate that's used in them. I don't know what it was about this one but I sucked it down so fast. It was delicious!! The owners were absolutely so sweet and you can tell that they pour a lot of love into this business. If the owner see this, please open up a location in Sarver! . We are dying for something good and different out there!

    Beef Empanada & Chicken Empanada
    Spencer S.

    Stopped in yesterday on a drizzly Friday morning and was so happy with how cozy and warm Tu Y Yo feels! Lots of cool decor on the walls and they've done a really good job with the place. Lots of barstools to sit at and the service was friendly and quick. The Empanadas were really good and piping hot and the hot chocolate we ordered was also quite good and had rich flavor. Lastly, we also ordered one of the chicken arepas to share and the arepa was loaded with chicken and avocado and so so good! Hope to be back for more soon!

    The food and atmosphere were incredible! The staff were also extremely friendly, kind, and welcoming. I definitely will be returning and would recommend this to anyone who loves a cozy cafe atmosphere with delicious food, pastries, and coffee!

    Delicious cheese bread, especially when heated up.

    Went to Tu y Yo last Saturday for my birthday. I studied in Argentina during college so I was happy to have traditional South American Food. My husband enjoyed the cortadito. We both really enjoyed the empanadas. They were loaded with ground beef and the Argentinian Style which I much prefer. My husband is half Colombian so he doesn't normally like this style since the wrap is different in both versions. He really liked this one. We also liked the pico de gallo that came with it. It was so sweet. The cheese bread was so good. We love to get it when we go to Brazilian Steakhouses. The alfajores (cookies with caramel inside and powdered sugar) were very good. She was out of arepas so we'll have to come back and try those and other sandwiches. What a cute little place! I love talking to the lady behind the counter about South America, which is one of my favorite places in the world. We'll definitely be back.

    Super cute space with food items for sale organized by country of origin.

    A super cute find in an unexpected locale. The layout is bright and cheerful. There's a corner for kids to play. They had good vegetarian options including a beet and feta arepa.

    Delicious, piping hot empanadas (beef and chicken) and a sifrina arepa! Also got a toddy hot chocolate since I'm not a coffee drinker. All of it was so good! Great flavors, fresh, and filling. We came on a very rainy morning and the cafe was so warm and inviting! Owners were very friendly and loved interacting with our one year old son. Plenty of seating and fun gifts and treats available for purchase. We will definitely be back!

    Everything was cold including the iced coffee. I would have preferred if there was not as much ice.

    Rosaflorida Coffee

    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 on this morning it happened to be RosaFlorida Coffee. This coffee shop is located right on Freeport Road in Blawnox. The inside is cozy, with photos on the walls, a couple of pastry cases, and a wall full of plants and plant-themed artwork. The bright wood tables, arranged in a herringbone pattern, paired nicely with the baby blue chairs and gave the shop a welcoming feel. After seeing that they exclusively served Rosa beans and seemed very proud of that, both my wife and I decided to order Americanos. My wife chose hers iced while I went with mine hot. My daughter ordered a cinnamon swirl, and I added a chicken empanada. About five minutes later our entire order was ready, and we headed back to the car. I started with the empanada. It had a nice flaky crust, and the chicken filling had good flavor, although it was a little on the dry side. My daughter didn't share her cinnamon swirl, but she assured me that it was good. After finishing my empanada, I moved on to my coffee and thought it was excellent. It opened with a touch of bitterness before settling into a smooth, rich coffee flavor that I really enjoyed. I was hoping to pick up some distinctive varietal notes on the finish but wasn't able to find any. Even so, it was still a very enjoyable cup of coffee. My wife also enjoyed her iced Americano. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Both my wife and I enjoyed our coffees, and the food made for a nice accompaniment as well.

    Here, you can get farm to cup coffee. The owner's dad actually runs the farm in Columbia where they…read moresource their beans and roast them locally around Pittsburgh. The staff is so kind and friendly and they brew amazing coffee that is about as fresh as you can get unless you are in a growing region of the world. The shop is small and simple but clean and polished with a great vibe. Got a cappuccino and it was top notch. They know what they are doing with coffee here. Definitely worth going out of your way for this one.
