Description

ad

It's 61c, not 61 cent. Seventeen years ago, Kate Knorr and Gary Kaboly had a very simple idea — to provide a quality cup of coffee and a friendly environment in the city of Pittsburgh. Specifically Squirrel Hill. While it’s safe to say that coffee culture has certainly changed in the last decade, it’s also probably just as safe to say that Kate and Gary, and cafes of a similar vein, are in a large part responsible. They are the very examples that your corporate coffee chains are using as their models. And in all this time, little has changed at the 61C, well, at least in theory. Still the friendly faces, still Keith pouring your coffee in the mornings, still homemade goodies, and as always, great patio to spend a lazy evening lounging around.

One year ago, @julistresing invited me to come get a 61 cent cappuccino at the coffee shop's anniversary event she was working. She accidentally told me the wrong time to be there, so we ended up missing each other in the shop and ran into each other on the street outside as I was leaving and she was arriving. It was a snowing sideways that day and I almost missed her on the side of the street since I was holding my umbrella right in front of me like I was going into battle. Later that week, she ended up bringing me some cookies at the library I was working at to make up for the timing mistake, as well as to kick off many in-vain attempts at flirting. And tbh the rest is basically history.

Figured I would try someplace new today! And this can totally be considered a cheat meal ha. Learning about the cardiovascular system with a heart in my coffee, a scone the size of a heart, and my human biology notes. #studying #springbreak #motivated #cheatmeal #fitness #coffee #learning #bodypositive #springishere #pittsburgh #roadtoRD
