Coffeeneuring

There's a thing called coffeeneuring. I'm not really putting forth much effort to do it, but I'm happy for the excuse to document Pittsburgh's many lovely bikeable coffee shops.

Currently I'm sitting in Marty's Market, the venture that took over the warehouse that Right By Nature took over some years back. Marty's is part grocery store, part restaurant, part coffee shop. The coffee shop part is run by a former 21st Street barista who really knows and cares about coffee: the espresso and milk foaming are spot-on, the coffee selected with great care.

The bike ride was in two parts, one from my house in Bloomfield to Coca Cafe for brunch (1 mile exactly), and the 1.38 mile ride from Coca to Marty's. Weather: cold and misty, bracing for the arctic hurricane due to strike the east coast next week. Coffee: well-deserved.
