The Balkan

I'm a very picky coffee drinker. My drink I make in my own shop is a mocha with 4-6 shots, and only 1 or 2 pumps of mocha sauce depending on the day. I ordered the Howert's hammer and was incredibly impressed!! My wife got the Mine dust, and she loved it. We also got the chocolate banana crepe, and it was perfect. If I was local I'd be at this shop every day. The staff was friendly and helpful, the atmosphere was incredible, and the coffee was perfect! Thank you to The Balkan, for doing coffee well, and inspiring me to do better at my own shop. I'm just sad I live nearly 7 hours from this incredible Coffeehouse!

What a lovely café. The ambience is serene, the staff is friendly, and the pastries are beautiful. I thoroughly enjoyed the sweet croissant and the Salt on the Earth latte. I even had to bring a croissant home for my husband to try. I'll be back to try the soup of the day bread bowl.

What an amazing coffee shop wow. Love the canary theme throughout the cafe. And fyi the baked goods are from the gourmet store, blue spoon down the street. This place is one of those rare gems that blow your socks off. Definitely a must visit at least twice.

You can tell Christina and Brenda put so much thought into each detail of The Balkan. The food and drinks are all delicious; I have yet to order something I didn’t like. I love the call to the town’s rich coal mining history. They made the culture of the building come alive with their vision. This has to be my favorite small business!

Best coffee shop I've been to so far in Pittsburg! The drinks are phenomenal! Try a Salt of the Earth, it's so rich and carmelly! And don't forget about the atmosphere, it's got a little local market with plants and soaps, there's chess, music and in the evening it turns into a cocktail bar!
