Autumn is upon us, and the cooler weather makes it the perfect time to cozy up with a cup of joe. Fortunately, Downtown Pittsburgh is full of vibrant coffee houses, both old and new. These shops play a large role in fostering community, creating a sense of home and routine. From business deals to catching up with friends, coffee shops are a pillar in any urban environment.

For some people, a cup of coffee is just  a way to feel more awake in the morning. However for the owners and partners of renowned Coffee Village, coffee means so much more than quick caffeine.
