Really enjoyed this little coffee shop in the Homewood neighborhood. My husband & I went in for breakfast. You quickly see & feel its "coffee with a cause" mission - the family-owned business created by the Bible Center Church has a big display board in the back that tells its story. It's very community oriented. I love that it has a community kitchen for rent & is connected to a nearby farm/fishery for fresh food. Our English muffins were pretty tasty - Turkey sausage, egg, & cheese. The woman checking us out recommended fresh spinach - so I added some on mine. My husband's cranberry (orange?) muffin was not good, though. Quite dry. The coffee was good, as was my chamomile tea. We sat on a big couch by the front window to enjoy our meal. Most of the other diners were at tables working on laptops. A nice experience. We'll be back.

This is a cute, spacious cafe. Reasonable prices, the breakfast sandwich I got was only $5. I wish it had been bigger but I should expected it to be on the smaller side with the price. The staff was friendly & service was quick. I didn't get a drink this time, but they seemed to have a ton of options between coffee, tea, & smoothies!

After spending the morning walking around The Frick Museum, my wife and I decided to venture down to Everyday Cafe. It was a somewhat cool and drizzly day, so a sandwich and soup sounded like the right idea. The cafe seems to be part of a larger enclave of businesses dedicated to social and cultural education and public outreach, though there was also a religious element to the messaging on the walls. We had no idea what kind of place the cafe was -- besides just being a cafe -- or what type of organization it was associated with, but it was a peaceful respite on a cold day and the employees were very nice. I had a ham and cheese panini with a cup of chili, and my wife had chicken and rice soup. The panini was good, somewhat standard as these things go, but the chili was really excellent. It had a bit of a kick to it but was not overpowering at all. The blend of spices and other ingredients was just right, and I easily could have eaten another cup of it happily. My wife's soup was also quite tasty, and she was happy to have gotten it. Before leaving, I ordered a double espresso, which hit the spot before going back out into the drizzle. We noticed as we were leaving that a small group of women were gathering for a weekly poetry reading and writing workshop. The space is perfect for that type of event. I don't remember what else was on the menu, but I recommend Everyday Cafe if you're in the area and want a good soup and sandwich.

I just love this place. It's has a "It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood" vibe to it Super sweet staff. Got delicious lattes and pastries. AND they had the cutest pop up book shop on site (Shout out to The Young Dreamers' Bookstore) so I bought two for my nephew while I was there. The one muffin I got was a bit undercooked, but I'm still giving them 5 stars cuz they're so dang nice.

The Everyday Cafe has really god coffee and some of the best staff. I visited the cafe with a friend and we were greeted b Ezra, one of the staff. He was tremendous helpful and kind. It appears that the business does a lot in the community! Kudos to them !

We've come here two mornings to grab a quick breakfast. Both were pleasant experiences. While there is street parking, there is also a lot one block down. The dining space is open and inviting (especially during Christmastime). We got hot chocolate, coffee, and breakfast sandwiches. It may take some time but know the sandwiches are made fresh and taste so!

Pleasant and calming atmosphere. We went on a Friday morning. It wasn't busy so the service didn't take too long. They were very kind and it was cool to see the cool things they're apart of in the larger community. I also loved how they shared various nonprofit resources & services on the front table. I went here specially for the cookie butter frapp and it was worth it. It was well blended and flavorful. The brown sugar scone was sweet but not overly sweet. Even my picky niece who doesn't like to try new food tried it and enjoyed it. The scone definitely tastes better warmed up.

Awesome Black owned community lead cafe with a fairly decent priced menu and delicious food and drinks. I like that this organization provides opportunities people in the community. It is well lit and has strong WiFi for those who want to work from the cafe.

Outstanding ambiance. Best wrap sandwich I've had in a long time. Strawberry açaí refresher was on point.

What a great eatery and work space! Convenient street parking, order at the register (with divider), pay with card (no cash!), staff will bring out your food. The menu is varied. For my first visit I chose the southwest chicken wrap, which came grilled like a panini. That's the trick: the cheese was melty and so delicious! For dessert I hemmed and hawed between the chocolate-covered strawberry and peach smoothies. Since it's summer, I went with the peach, and I was not disappointed. Clean open space with plenty of windows for natural light while eating and/or working to jazzy tunes. Didn't stay long enough to check out the bathrooms this time. Staff were masked, most patrons were not, although I didn't sense any hostility that we wore masks. Will be back! Nota bene: This is actually a 4.5-star review that I rounded up, due to the air conditioning being quite strong. We dressed for the outdoor temperature (hot) rather than the indoor one (cold).

I hadn't been here since pandemic. They were awesome before and no surprise to me they are still awesome! Friendly staff, nice atmosphere, solid coffee, and tasty food. This time I stopped for lunch take-away. Fresh ingredients in the Italian panini and hearty chili were perfect on a cold day. The pastries were good in the past; I didn't try any this visit. Come here for quality efficient food made with care.

Pumpkin chai latte + Jazz was just what I needed on a gloomy Monday afternoon. Thank you!

As I sipped my first Sweet Potato Pie Latte the dreary Pittsburgh sky suddenly passed and the sun shone bright on my face. Well not really because the sky here in fall stays dreary but I felt sunshine all over from the joy this drink induces. Words cannot describe how delicious it is but I will try. It knocks the pumpkin spice latte to the ground and claims its rightful place as the fall seasonal drink we all need. What is it's magic? I can't tell you but you need this in your life immediately. And did I mention how nice the staff are? Every time I've been there I've left with a smile on my face after talking to the lovely baristas, an experience not often had at cool coffee shops these days. My only sadness is the thought that this drink will only be available seasonally but I am certain Everyday Cafe will have an equally transcendent beverage for every season so I look forward to what I will discover next.
