November 22, 2009: A sweet, glowing review for Morning Glory Coffeehouse in this PGH food blog
"This is the kind of place that every town needs: a chill venue for group gatherings, live music (from all over the world!), and movie nights...It's my "runner up" for best coffee in Pittsburgh (I had 2 lattes!). I think that says it all --- try it and you'll agree! The Bottom Line: Affordable and Amazing, it's bigger than a hobbit but smaller than (and WAAAY better than) Starbucks. It's the Morning Glory Coffeehouse in Morningside, and you'll be glad you stopped by!"
