"This was my second trip to Brave Bean, and I’ve really enjoyed their lattes on my visits. The first trip, I tried both the signature French vanilla latte and signature pistachio latte, and they were both tremendous. On this trip, I had the 100 Grand signature latte (mocha, marshmallow, and caramel), and it was good, though I must say the pistachio latte is my absolute favorite. A big plus is that they offer decaf espresso options. The coffee options are also very affordable compared to other Pittsburgh-area shops. The staff is friendly, even under stress. Today was pretty busy in the cafe, but the staff (just one person when I first entered, but two by the time I ordered) handled the line well and I received my coffee in a very timely fashion. There are a few tables and chairs where you can enjoy your coffee, but this is also a coffee roasting facility and the store is more functional than it is a cozy and aesthetic coffee shop where you’d want to spend your day. They do still have the old bank vault that you can visit, though the lights were off today so you couldn’t see it in its full glory (and we didn’t want to bother the busy staff to ask!). It’s very nice to have a local coffee shop near the Monroeville area, I’d much rather support a local business when I can!"

"The coffee at brave bean is made with care from start to finish and you can taste the difference. The shop itself is nice and there is plenty of seating. Everything was very clean and organized when we were there. We both got fall drinks (I got psl, he got s'mores cold brew). They were both so good and not overly sweet or artificial tasting. The customer service was incredible. We will definitely be back!"

"Really nice coffee shop in Pitcairn, and I think they also have another location in the north side. Great backstory to it as well, with supporting numerous veteran initiatives. I got to try their latte and cafe au lait. Both were very nice, but in full honesty, I couldn’t really tell them apart by flavor alone (the latter was a bit smaller and they were served in different containers, that’s the only way I knew which was which). Both were definitely good, very fair price for a nice portion, and the flavor was good as well but it didn’t seem very standout. Still, I’m super glad this place exists in Pitcairn and will definitely be stopping by again whenever I’m in the area and will recommend to some friends."

"Great coffee place with even better story behind it. Owners / operators all grow In Pitcairn with many community help raising them due some household difficulties. Many of em end up all right as vetrans, teachers, etc. As way of giving back to their community, they decided to open this great spot. Friendly staff, great coffee / snack / food selections. Reasonable pricing. The place also act as meetings place for the community evens, and can be rented for private parties after 3 pm. Please check em out and support such 👍 concept. Will sure be back."

"7/10! Ive been here 2 different times and each time the customer service was so so. They did not seem interested in helping you/giving suggestions and just weren’t as friendly as I would expect a local coffee shop to be? I think they are in the process of remodeling so the inside of the shop is mostly blocked off from use except for 2 tables. The first time I was there they had the old bank vault open with the lights on (really cool), but the second time I was there it was all shut off (pretty bummed as I was trying to show someone new the coffee shop). I’ve had a couple different lattes and all were pretty good. Nothing extraordinary. Their sausage egg and cheese breakfast rolls are AMAZING and I would come back just to eat these every day lol"
