What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"I went to this interestingly phunky spot off the beaten path of this quiet little neighborhood, a relative recommend that we go about three Saturdays ago. Boi was i intrigued and amazed at the same time. Seriously service was so impressive and homely if that's even a word that the owner came out to greet us as well. I definitely would be coming back custom coffee ☕, art and stories is well recommended."
"The coffee was great, though the large was a little small for the price. The ambiance is really the draw, with a lovely outdoor patio area and a warm and decorated indoor area, perfect to chat or do work in. I also love that they have antiques and jewelry for sale, best of both worlds!"
"Love this little hidden gem, The staff is so friendly and a lot of fun- our barista sort of messed up my drink (literally not the biggest deal in the world, she was busy) but we were all joking about it with a couple we met there and she was a good sport and super sweet, literally great energy. The food is 100/10 we got the grilled cheese and tomato basil soup and also a breakfast burrito and wow oh wow- everything from the vibes to food to the energy this place is def top on our list. The details in this place from their unique retail to the free bagged cookies they left out for anyone to take just makes the place feel warm cozy and inviting on a cold winter day. Will 1000% be back thank you so much!!!!!!!!"
"It’s a cute little neighborhood cafe. I enjoy the antiques for sale and the unique atmosphere but the drinks themselves always disappoint me. I’ve been here twice and both times I didn’t finish my drink. The flavors don’t taste how they are advertised and the espresso tastes stale. I know a lot of people love this place, unfortunately I don’t."
"Biddle's Escape in Pittsburgh offers a cozy and unique haven for coffee and food enthusiasts alike, nestled in the vibrant Lawrenceville neighborhood. The café’s charm is undeniable, with its eclectic, inviting decor and warm atmosphere—perfect for those looking to relax or engage in casual conversation. It’s a place where you can sip your beverage, people-watch, and enjoy the community vibe. On my recent visit, I decided to sample their food offerings, starting with the grilled cheese. It was, without a doubt, the highlight of my meal. The sandwich was perfectly toasted, with gooey, melted cheese that struck a wonderful balance of savory richness. It was comfort food at its finest, and I could see why it’s a customer favorite. Unfortunately, the house soup fell flat in comparison. Described as a comforting pairing for the sandwich, it turned out bland and unexciting. There was a lack of seasoning and depth of flavor that left me disappointed. The coffee, while decent, didn’t stand out as much as I’d hoped. It was drinkable and served in a nice, warm cup, but it didn’t have the depth or complexity that might leave a lasting impression. For a café that places a strong emphasis on quality drinks, this could certainly be an area for improvement. As for the tea selection, I was somewhat underwhelmed by the presentation. The tea bags were all black, making it difficult to see or smell the contents before choosing a tea. The lack of visibility and the inability to sample the aroma felt like a missed opportunity to elevate the experience for tea drinkers who may appreciate a more sensory approach to selecting their beverages. On a more positive note, Biddle's Escape excels in customer service. The staff are friendly, approachable, and attentive, making sure that every guest feels welcomed. The atmosphere, while small, is undeniably charming with its quirky decor and cozy seating arrangements, making it easy to settle in for an afternoon of relaxation or work. Additionally, the café offers plenty of off-street parking, which is a real convenience in the busy Lawrenceville area. In conclusion, Biddle’s Escape shines in its atmosphere and customer service, but the food and drink offerings could use some refinement. While the grilled cheese is a standout, the soup lacks flavor, and the coffee, while serviceable, doesn’t quite deliver the boldness one might expect from a café of this caliber. The tea experience could also use some improvement to cater to those who enjoy a more curated selection. Nonetheless, for a laid-back coffeehouse experience with a welcoming ambiance, Biddle’s Escape remains a charming choice for anyone in the area."
