The First Review

61C Cafe • Squirrel Hill • Sunday, February 17, 2008

I walk past the 61C Cafe almost everyday, but had yet to experience it. I always sat in awe of the people outside at night with twinkling lights while walking up Bartlett. While waiting for the bus I also thought about venturing in to warm up, but timing never worked out. Finally this past Sunday, my friend and I took a chance on the 61C Cafe.

We walked in, finding the cafe quite full. Luckily they have plenty of seating, and lots of small tables for those doing school work (almost every table had a laptop!) We were quickly taken care of, which is always a plus. Unfortunately they only take cash, which personally I find as a negative for any business.

We each ordered a chai tea latte. Our drinks arrived in about two minutes, and were served in cool glasses (seriously I want buy them, they were glass mugs, that didn't burn your fingers when you touched them!) The Chai Tea Latte were served with nutmeg or cinnamon on top of them (I couldn't determine.) I would probably order something different, the Chai was not bad, but a little too cinnamony for my taste.

The music was at an appropriate level, cool and funky, but not overpowering. The artwork was simple and pretty, mostly nature photos.

I would definitely go back again, the atmosphere was great, the service was great, and I think I just need to find my drink there.


three and a half beans!
