"At first, we thought this is more a “dining cafe” rather than a “cafe cafe,” but it turned out quite a lot of people worked at the cafe. The cafe has a bar section with quite a decent selection of food/desserts. We ordered an eggnog latte and was good (although most particularly amazing). What I like the most was its variety of seatings—couch area, bar tables, etc and quite a few outlets throughout the cafe. We also tried the cinnamon roll; it was okay. The food and drinks are decent, although not my fav in the. Overall, it’s definitely a cozy and cute place to work at and we’d come back again to work here again."

"I brought a group of 17 into the cafe and they handled it so well! They were kind and efficient. There was plenty of seating for us. The coffee was some of the best I’ve had and the pastries were fantastic! The selection was unique and authentic. I had the breakfast wrap which was quite good as well. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area!"

"The coffee here is solid and does the job! Things you should know: I. PARKING There are various options. Street parking, public parking lots and a nearby public parking garage. All easily accessible ~ the only hold-up is that they're paid parking spots, costing about $1/hr. Not bad. II. SERVICE Timely and really patient at taking my crazy beverage orders. They offer sugar free syrups for my friends who like guilt-free options for their drinks. III. QUALITY I'm a snob about my coffee, but their cold brew passes the test. My grandmother, who cannot have caffeine anymore, really enjoys their decaf lattes. The atmosphere is inviting and well designed. It's a great place to camp out at and knock out some work/studying. IV. Fair amount of available seating during weekday late-morning. Seems to be a good time to camp out."

"Absolutely love this cafe! It’s such a nice, warm vibe inside, great to meet up, chat, or get some work done! The Apple Chai Latte was so incredibly delicious, could not ask for a better warm drink for the winter than chai with apple cider. Great staff, great spot, one of the favorite in Mount Lebanon!"

"I don't know how this place has so many good reviews, maybe we caught them on a night that they weren't on their game, but my experience was my experience. My partner and I came in on the first Friday of October around 8 pm. We were celebrating a birthday and wanted a drink or two before we went to dinner elsewhere. Aware that Orbis closed at 9 and we were just getting drinks, we opted to sit at the bar when one of the four people behind the counter asked if we wanted a table. I counted about a dozen other patrons throughout the rest of the establishment. We ordered two drinks from their menu, and my Espresso Martini was delivered to me wordlessly by the one person behind the counter and arrived a full 5 minutes prior to my partner's Moscow Mule, which was made by a different person behind the counter, leaving us sitting there staring at my drink while we waited for the Moscow Mule so we could make a toast. Neither drink was particularly good. They weren't bad, but they weren't good. But wouldn't you know it, when we asked for the check, that was delivered quickly and with sudden friendliness from the person who delivered my Espresso Martini. The music wasn't loud, so that was nice in terms of being able to have a conversation. Maybe they're better before the sun goes down, but lack of customer service skills on the staff's part and an inordinately long wait (without explanation) for our second libation means I won't be patronizing Orbis again; there are plenty of other establishments along Washington Road that can offer me a better experience."
