This place is picture perfect.  I am sitting in the main dining room of Farmhouse coffee - which is in an actual farmhouse. The place is decorated for Christmas with a tree and other decoration.  One table is a group of women knitting and the other table has 2 women playing scrabble - kind of exactly what you would expect for a coffee shop in a farmhouse.

I can't believe that no one else has reviewed this yet.  This is the perfect neighborhood bar.  While most of Walnut street is pretty corporate, Cappy's is still there and still local with a nice group of regulars.
I am writing this review today because I love LOVE love the hot pretzel sticks - not on the menu but I was still able to order them.
Other reasons to love Cappy's:
-outside seating in the summer
-affordable, tasty food
- they don't fry the french fries and they are still really great
-Fridays are usually Cappy-oke Night and the place is packed (IheartPGH is not a kaeroke fan but she appreciates that others are)

Rumor has it that a few east end singles have met their future spouses at Cappy's.

I even like that the ads in the bathroom stalls have not been updated in something like 3 years.  And I really like the Pittsburgh and Shadyside cross stitched samplers that hang on the walls, I know it sounds strange, but it just fits in this place.

This is a great community coffee house located on the North Side.  I like to have meetings here because there is tons of space, free wireless and it is easy to find parking.  Coffee, drinks and food. There is interesting art work on the walls.  Tables and chairs for meetings and couches for reading a book.  They often host some interesting events too.

Scott Baio was here!
This is where the delightful little movie "The Bread My Sweet" starring Scott Baio was filmed.    The movie was renamed "A Wedding for Bella" when it was released on video.
The biscotti here are awesome because they are fresh and soft, rather than hard and crunchy.

This is THE BEST place to eat in Pittsburgh.  I wish I could give this place 10 stars.  I love pretzels!  I love this place.  I love that they won't wait on you if you are talking on your cell phone.  I love that lunch is less than $3.
My second favorite food to pretzles is probably rice krispie treats - and they sell those too.  LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!! I am adding some pictures of fresh pretzels!

I met up with 2 friends at Kellys on a Monday night.  Happy Hour = half price appetizers from 5-7.  But more than that we had the nicest server.  I know Kelly's has had a bad reputation in the past for mean service.  This was a whole new Kelly's - our server could not have been nicer.

Make Your Mark

I can't believe that I am the first to write about this for Yelp!  Make Your Mark is just on of the few recent businesses to the Point Breeze Business District.  Just a mile from Shadyside, this district is all local.
I am going to say that this may be the best coffee shop in town.
1. its local
2. great interior decor and lighting
3. good, good food. Usually cafe in Pittsburgh food is blah, blah.

I think I am even overhearing that they are expanding their seating are to include a quite study area - which explains why there is some hammering today.  But yeah for quite areas.

I really hope that Make Your Mark helps to raise the bar of other local coffee shops.

IheartPGH and friend of IheartPGH stopped in for dinner.  Monday night is buffet night!  $8 gets you soup, salad, iced tea, coffee, Italian buffet with pasta, meatballs, sausage, chicken, vegetable AND dessert.  
Del's is a great local restaurant and was pretty busy for a Monday night - not packed but busy enough to make you forget it was a Monday.  This is a family establishment, the food is decent and it is worth a trip for dinner.
