Boxspring Café - Pittsburgh

The coffee is amazing and the workers are super nice!

This place is totally worth a hassle associated with finding it: . The cafe is tacked in in the middle of the block. Somehow their working hours on Sunday showed closed till 1 PM. They were open at noon though. The soup and sandwich were amazing. Staff is nice too. It's a very nice spot with art on the walls and suspended from the ceiling.

Glad to have this cafe option. Prices are very reasonable and menu items offer something for everyone. Staff were very nice but service is a bit slow (not the staff, just the process for preparing the orders when the cafe is busy). We had an everything bagel with salmon spread and salami sandwich, presentation came out great for both, portion size was good, and taste wise they were solid but not particularly remarkable.

Absolutely great, the whole assembly of exhibits are amazing and create a unique experience stretching your point of view on the world. Loved it

We enjoyed this tremendously and so did our kids age 7 8. Yes it is strange and immersive, yes there are things you won’t get, and yes some subject matter is not completely rated G. A couple sexual and macabre/depressing things we just kind of rushed the kids by without comment but they had so much to see and look at I don’t think they even noticed. We found much of it to be super thought-provoking, humorous, creepy, and/or mesmerizing. Overall we loved the details, the creativity and one-of-a-kind experience! I see some reviewers here are upset that much of it was closed for new installations when they were there and that is a legitimate complaint and certainly would be disappointing. It is not cheap.Just do your research before you go- look at what’s on exhibit, page thru some pictures online and read up about it. Not all art is engaging to everyone just like not all food, music, movies are universally appealing. If you end up there and it’s not your cup of tea, try to be open minded and think about what messages the artist is trying to get across. We all enjoyed the interesting way the townhouses were reconfigured to be galleries, and it was fun to see the neighborhood. Our kids said it was “great with lots of cool art” and it was actually hard to drag them out.
