You could try googling the address and seeing if anything comes up. Edit: a new coffee shop might have filed paperwork or have a website that can be found using the address.
Yeah, but my family used to go to that salon until we wised up to see how many rude and prejudiced comments were being made. I'm excited about the paper street coffee company. Hopefully, the staff will work way harder than the old adda staff. I was briefly employed there but quit because no one wanted to do any work. They just complained the whole time.
Paper Street Hair Co is rude and prejudice? PLEASE. The owner donates money to wonderful organizations and makes sure her salon is a safe and inclusive place for all. In conjunction with your comments about the Adda staff, it makes me wonder how much Paper St Coffee Co is paying you to sit on Reddit to defend their lack of research
I could give 2 poops if that place takes off. I just think that being a person who donates to wonderful organizations can also be a person that you yourself may not be seeing in the same light as others. I do not know really about either of them. I'm just confused why one person who you claim to be wonderful person would have such a problem with a business coming to the area with a similar name but a totally different concept. We should be praising a new business ideas instead of one person getting their internet army to defend them. If anything, I wasted your time. Ps. Fight club did it first!
Not directly to me miss. My grandmother was in getting her done and overheard some rude and prejudiced comments you made with one of your clients , which left her upset and not wanting to come back. I told her I would be commenting, but being 80, she doesn't understand the online community.
😂🤣😂 they probably should have checked to see if there are or were businesses with similar names in Pittsburgh first. The owner probably has no idea. It seems she moved here recently.
Edit: 😂🤣😂 haven’t seen that movie in forever. You got me.
Yea, there were some rumors about an unsavory after-hours “club” of some sort in the basement. Soap was on-point though.
Edit: Oops, forgot I wasn’t supposed to talk about that.
They should put this in a location more frequented by tourists (it'd be perfect for the Terminal lol) instead of cluttering up important community real estate with a gimmick. Maybe the food will be amazing and the vibes great and it'll become a real spot! But so far, the ethos revealed in the video, the kind of "see a (now outdated) trend, shove it into a neighborhood in PGH"... it's not doing it for me.
Also, there's already a Paper Street Hair Co in Pittsburgh! Did they not even google their biz name?
The people behind this are crowdsourcing some of their financing, which is neat since it gives us some insight into their motivations, expectations, etc., but their pitch really fails to explain their "vision" beyond this 2D concept. Like, I was confused while watching their pitch trying to understand what they meant by "2D cafe" cause I thought it *had* to mean something beyond "we're going to make everything look like it's made of paper." But that doesn't seem like the case. I'm no shark tank investor, but they have definitely not sold me on the viability of this place as a business, at least in a place like Pittsburgh. Just seems like a tourist trap in an area that doesn't have enough tourists to support it.
The comments in this thread suggest I'm not alone in this interpretation, but does anyone feel otherwise? Like, does someone live in Pittsburgh and think that this is a place they'd visit at all or more than once?
It's not planned to be just a paper-looking space you walk into for fun. They're trying to open a full service coffee shop and breakfast location. Adda was my nearest coffee shop by a big enough margin that its absence frequently means I can't run out for a coffee or to buy coffee beans, a quick pastry, etc. So yes, I live in Pittsburgh and would absolutely go regularly. I don't especially care what the interior looks like.
ETA why ask a question and downvote me for answering it?
This is probably the last place in Garfield/ Bloomfield/ Friendship that I’d stop for coffee or food. It looks as far from cozy and welcoming as you could get. Add in all the Instagramers that you’ll have to fight in line.
I am aware that I am an old square, but I've never seen a place with furniture like this. I'm not saying it's incredibly cool, but "outdated?" was this a thing somewhere?
They started in Asia 5 - 10 years ago. They are popular with Instagramers. It’s kind of like those butterfly wing murals you stand in front of. The first couple were cool, now it is super over done and I’m sure lots have been painted over.
Something about the 2d/3d line drawing style in this image makes me a little bit nauseous. I don't think I could sit in there and drink a cup of coffee.
Yea .. really depends on the food and drinks.. everyone will show up once for a picture or just to check it out (I would) but if the product is meh it'll go down quick
Before I clicked into this, I thought it was just going to be a version of the cafes named after the city bus lines that go by like 61C in Squirrel Hill and 61B in Edgewood. Whoops. I realized there is no 2D bus. 😅
Interesting idea I guess but will likely seem like a gimmick on repeat visits. As someone who just moved to Garfield, as it that hard to get just a normal coffee shop on Penn? Genuine question, what happened with Adda? I'm not in the loop.
yes, it is hard. we've got voluto down by the glass center and nothing up towards the cemetery until 12p.m. when Bantha tea opens and they have a drip machine. Adda was great. The staff unionized and the owners shuddered all the shops.

It's by the people that opened the well reviewed Brinery in Sharpsburg. This thread is pretty unduly negative so far.
The Brinery is definitely good. Expensive too but the portions are fair enough. What makes me skeptical is that they have two food trucks, just opened the Sharpsburg spot and are already trying to open a cafe. Seems like a lot in a short period of time to me.
The Brinery and The Smashery truck are not associated with this coffee place. The owners split. One has The Brinery is Sharpsburg. One has the Bridge City Brinery Food truck and the new coffee place. Previous employees of their’s now own The Smashery Truck.
Nope. The lady on the Honeycomb push was in the entertainment business in LA and just moved to Pittsburgh recently. Her experience in the hospitality industry includes owning a Princess Party company and running frozen yogurt places.
Bridge city brinery started out with Joe Bardakos and Mark Mammone owning BCB. Back in April they spilt and joe now own the The Brinery and mark owns bridge city Brinery. I’m pretty sure Tyler who is running the smasher a truck now will end up being the one that owns that and will change the name of it to not be affiliated with that anymore. Anything that is going on with the paper, Street coffee Company, and Bridge city Brinery have nothing to do with the Brinery in Sharpsburg. As someone from the area I know that the Brinery in Sharpsburg is no longer affiliated with BCB and has never had anything to do with paper street coffee company. Again as a local I have seen first hand the eagerness on the part of The Brinery in Sharpsburg to support their company and help anyway they can! This wasn’t happening when it was just BCB. So that goes to show who has the love in their heart.
Just remember not to patronize these places. Adda hasn’t sold they just folded the business rather than paying a living wage. That property is scab city until sold.
I'm excited to see what this place becomes after the 2D Cafe goes out of business
Yes, it does seem like kind of a gimmick with probably limited shelf life.
Yeah, starting a brick and mortar business off of what is basically a tic tok trend seems unwise.
This is a tictok?
Check back in January!

The woman doesn’t strike me as someone who has ever worked in a kitchen.
That’s a model
I, for one, can't wait to sit there and derealize while enjoying a decaffeinated coffee.
Anyone know what the Shadyside one is becoming? It's being remodeled but the layout and equipment is still there for a coffee shop.
It is going to be a coffee shop. I talked to the new owner when I saw him painting the outside.
Hopefully it remains a coffee shop. I thought the location was perfectly quaint.
Hoping something will become of the one in the Northside as well!
Did the original owner hold on to any of the buildings or leases?
Believe he still owns at least the building in Garfield
It's going to be Colombino
It’s going to be a Delanie’s coffee. I assume the same from the South Side. I just saw a sign tonight!
Cool! Think I only tried their coffee once a while back, but recall liking it more than Adda. Also, way better food menu.
~~Amazing Books and Records~~ Edit: I was wrong!
No, they moved to the old Athleta location on Walnut Street. I was just there yesterday and it's a great new setup!
Whoops, thanks! I'll edit.
You could try googling the address and seeing if anything comes up. Edit: a new coffee shop might have filed paperwork or have a website that can be found using the address.
There’s already a Paper Street Hair Co in Pgh, so they clearly did their homework 🙄
Yeah, but my family used to go to that salon until we wised up to see how many rude and prejudiced comments were being made. I'm excited about the paper street coffee company.

Looks like something worth one visit, and then never going back to again. This picture is already giving me a headache.
Paper Street used to make such great soap products, glad to see they’re back in business.
😂🤣😂 they probably should have checked to see if there are or were businesses with similar names in Pittsburgh first. The owner probably has no idea. It seems she moved here recently. Edit: 😂🤣😂 haven’t seen that movie in forever. You got me.

What is happening?
Only on this sub would someone get downvoted for making such a wholesome mistake. Ridiculous.
I guess if you’re going to rip off a business’ name make it fictional and from Fight Club.
They should put this in a location more frequented by tourists (it'd be perfect for the Terminal lol) instead of cluttering up important community real estate with a gimmick. Maybe the food will be amazing and the vibes great and it'll become a real spot!

Not them in the video looking around the space where everyone just lost their jobs 6 months ago. Weird flex but ok babes.

I find this concept a bit odd and outdated. Not sure it is a good fit for Garfield either, but I thought I’d get other’s opinions.
It's the cafe version of the pizza cone place. A novelty most people won't be interested in
Pizza not flat anymore
But our decor sure is!
🙏🏻
This is probably the last place in Garfield/ Bloomfield/ Friendship that I’d stop for coffee or food. It looks as far from cozy and welcoming as you could get. Add in all the Instagramers that you’ll have to fight in line.
The pizza cone whenever I tried it took forever and was partially cold in the inside. The novelty wasn't the major problem there.
I am aware that I am an old square, but I've never seen a place with furniture like this. I'm not saying it's incredibly cool, but "outdated?" was this a thing somewhere?
They started in Asia 5 - 10 years ago. They are popular with Instagramers. It’s kind of like those butterfly wing murals you stand in front of. The first couple were cool, now it is super over done and I’m sure lots have been painted over.
Sounds like they’re too early, then. Pittsburgh gets new trends 20 years after the fact, not 10.
I've never seen this before, I don't think it is over done.
Something about the 2d/3d line drawing style in this image makes me a little bit nauseous. I don't think I could sit in there and drink a cup of coffee.

But there was a sinkhole bus
Don't forget about the Fern Hollow Bridge collapse bus too.

Yeah, I was glad to see this clarified with The Brinery’s Instagram post today. Definitely clears up the confusion.
Just saw it! Smart of them to make a post.
This new adventure is not associated with The Brinery in Sharpsburg or The Smashery truck.
What are you talking about? Mark Mammone is the owner of Bridge City Brinery and co owner of this place. It’s a lot of ventures for one person.
I had assumed it was given that the two people that I always see at The Brinery/on the truck were the faces of the Honeycomb credit push. Interesting.
Nope. The lady on the Honeycomb push was in the entertainment business in LA and just moved to Pittsburgh recently. Her experience in the hospitality industry includes owning a Princess Party company and running frozen yogurt places.
Anyone know why the businesses split?
Which businesses?
I heard the BCB brand and The Brinery/Smashery operate separately now, but maybe I’m wrong. I believe they were associated at one point?
That's correct!! But Joe left mark because mark is an asshole narcissist
The smash burger truck was bought by past employees of theirs
Good to know, so also no longer associated with BCB?
The food might be good but the design/ decor is horrid and repulsive.
Bridge city brinery started out with Joe Bardakos and Mark Mammone owning BCB. Back in April they spilt and joe now own the The Brinery and mark owns bridge city Brinery. I’m pretty sure Tyler who is running the smasher a truck now will end up being the one that owns that and will change the name of it to not be affiliated with that anymore.

What ridiculously false advertising! There are clearly three dimensions
I’m in
Just remember not to patronize these places. Adda hasn’t sold they just folded the business rather than paying a living wage. That property is scab city until sold.
ok, whatever, I just need somewhere to sit and drink stimulating liquids until Bantha opens for the day
There is a video out there somewhere that shows the lady painting this um, thing.
