This morning, I attended the Division Brilliant International Speech and Tall Tales contest. Before that I stopped at a new coffee shop that I’ve followed on Instagram for a while. Cutie’s is my go-to for amazing coffee in Downtown Greensburg. However, I’ve been looking forward to visiting this place for a while. A perfect opportunity awaited when I was on my way to the contest this morning.
Convive Coffee Roasters has four locations in the Pittsburgh area. The original location is McCandless, and Mars is the newest. The Lawrenceville location would be perfect to walk down to from Children’s. Had I known that this place exited, I would have had coffee while I was visiting Benny and Aunt Sue while they were staying at Children’s.
I ordered a lavender latte off of the Spring menu as well as a blueberry muffin. Still needing some breakfast, the blueberry muffin came in handy. The inside is very roomy, with tables to sit at and even a couch. The Mars location does give off some Starbucks vibes. It has a drive-thru for those wanting coffee on the go. One of these days, I want to hit up Latte Lane or Roaming Bean if I’m traveling. They also have merchandise, including a Convive tote bag that I wasn’t ready to buy just yet. Maybe on my next visit. This may be a stop for me before my Cranberry High Noon visit in June during my vacation. One time, I’ll even try the original location in McCandless.
Service was excellent and I talked to the barista about some of our local coffee shops in downtown Greensburg. I also mentioned that today was my first time at Convive. I dropped Cutie’s and White Rabbit. We had a very good convo going. Service was quick and the help was patient and friendly. I saw a lot of people out for a morning run in this part of Mars/Seven Fields. The cafe in a prime location, and not far from there is a Dollar Tree (formerly Walgreens). The colors here in the fall would really make a visit here worthwhile too.
