The coffee bar surpasses expectations. The drinks are great, especially because of their unique syrups and drink combinations. I have enjoyed lattes and fruit flavored lemonades, and my favorites have been the strawberry matcha and the blue velvet latte, which featured blueberry roobios syrup. The employees have also been very nice and it is cute inside. There is space to sit and read or work near the coffee bar - you are able to take your computer and work there with a drink from the coffee bar, without even needing to buy a book. It is a great multifunctional community space.

Good. This was a well run place with a fun theme and generally good food. We ordered takeout, and…read moreeverything was ready on time and very nicely packaged. Giving the restaurant a call to place an order seems like a better option than ordering online, just based on the differences between their published menu and online ordering site. I didn't spend long inside, but the space seemed inviting and clean. In terms of the food, I was generally happy. We were aiming for relatively easy going brunch food, and they delivered. The house salad was pretty good, though the avocado seemed unnecessary and the goat cheese was a little intense. More cheese than necessary. The veggie omelette was exceptional. Exactly what we were aiming for. The crepes were an interesting option, and the actual crepe portion was well done. The fillings were somewhat restrained, but that's probably intentional. Pairing a salad with the crepe seemed like the right move. All told, this was a good experience. The food was nicely presented. The vegetables were generally fresh. A much better experience than I anticipated going in.

I was visiting Pittsburgh and my relatives took me to the Geppetto Cafe for brunch. They'd never…read morebeen, but it was recommended. I ordered the scrambled eggs and a side of potatoes. They ordered the Chicken Panini sandwich and the Challah French Toast. My scrambled eggs weren't scrambled and weren't good. See attached picture - it's the sorriest looking 'scrambled eggs' I've ever seen. I worked as a short order cook in college ('71-77) and mastered the 'art of cooking eggs'. I offered to show them how to make scrambled....they laughed. My side order of potatoes weren't much better. Overly seasoned with this onion salt that made them somewhat unpalatable. Well, my relatives fared better than I did! The Chicken Panini sandwich was tasty - the chicken was tender and the Gouda cheese made it very tasty. The Classic French Toast, with strawberries was also delicious - slightly crispy exterior and a light and fluffy interior! While my breakfast was, unfortunately, not very good, theirs was.

The latte was decently priced, but just sort of left something to be desired. Still solid. And the macaron was decent as well but also left something to be desired. Theres a cool spot to sit by the window, but it's one large table so you'll likely be sitting with strangers (which is fine). Also, the bathroom is only accessible with keys, which I found a little strange, but okay. Still solid coffee.

I feel very mixed about this coffee shop. We set out to find a coffee shop where we could sit down…read moreand enjoy a coffee. After walking around the neighborhood, this one had seating, so we went inside. First, I'll say the coffee we tried was pretty good - a cappuccino and a brown sugar cinnamon latte. The barista asked "for here or to go" and the drinks still came in a paper cup anyway despite us saying "for here". I really enjoy having a coffee in an actual glass/mug when I say "for here". The ambiance was a bit confusing... not really sure what they were going for in the space, things were a bit choppy and thrown together. Kinda felt like you were in someone's garage with cluttered items on rickety shelves behind the counter. Our barista was very nice, but an awkward moment occurred when they were ringing us up - barista asked for a tip but then told us not to put the tip on the credit card because the owner steals from them. We felt this was a little uncomfortable and gave some unwelcoming energy. We also tried a Nutella croissant, which was very good! I think this shop has a lot of potential with some changes to service and decor.

The ambience is calm and somewhat cozy, there are couches to sit on and tables to focus with. I went in the morning/early afternoon, the lighting from outside was not great, typical Pittsburgh fashion. The light fixtures inside were way too dim. I found myself tilting my notebook to try to catch some natural light. Outlets also aren't easily accessible which is huge for being able to do work of course. The coffee was great, I tried the hibiscus cold foam latte, or something like that. I paired it with a bacon egg biscuit sandwich which was very filling. Definitely satisfied with the food products.
