Reviews
On my recent visit, I decided to sample their food offerings, starting with the grilled cheese. It was, without a doubt, the highlight of my meal. The sandwich was perfectly toasted, with gooey, melted cheese that struck a wonderful balance of savory richness. It was comfort food at its finest, and I could see why it’s a customer favorite. Unfortunately, the house soup fell flat in comparison. Described as a comforting pairing for the sandwich, it turned out bland and unexciting. There was a lack of seasoning and depth of flavor that left me disappointed.
The coffee, while decent, didn’t stand out as much as I’d hoped. It was drinkable and served in a nice, warm cup, but it didn’t have the depth or complexity that might leave a lasting impression. For a café that places a strong emphasis on quality drinks, this could certainly be an area for improvement.
As for the tea selection, I was somewhat underwhelmed by the presentation. The tea bags were all black, making it difficult to see or smell the contents before choosing a tea. The lack of visibility and the inability to sample the aroma felt like a missed opportunity to elevate the experience for tea drinkers who may appreciate a more sensory approach to selecting their beverages.
On a more positive note, Biddle’s Escape excels in customer service. The staff are friendly, approachable, and attentive, making sure that every guest feels welcomed. The atmosphere, while small, is undeniably charming with its quirky decor and cozy seating arrangements, making it easy to settle in for an afternoon of relaxation or work. Additionally, the café offers plenty of off-street parking, which is a real convenience in the busy Lawrenceville area.
In conclusion, Biddle’s Escape shines in its atmosphere and customer service, but the food and drink offerings could use some refinement. While the grilled cheese is a standout, the soup lacks flavor, and the coffee, while serviceable, doesn’t quite deliver the boldness one might expect from a café of this caliber. The tea experience could also use some improvement to cater to those who enjoy a more curated selection. Nonetheless, for a laid-back coffeehouse experience with a welcoming ambiance, Biddle’s Escape remains a charming choice for anyone in the area.
This coffee shop had all of the core requirements desired of a cozy coffee shop vibes and more.
Atmosphere: unique, spacious but cozy, a very cool patio space, cool randmo things for sale aside from the food, bakery items, and limited food options.
Drinks: Both times I ordered a chai latte with oat milk and cinnamon. Delicious and perfectly sweet. For lattes, they had SO many syrup options including a few madfe in house as well as some sugar free option. They also have all the common main milk alternatives.
Baked goods: I ordered the brownie and it was good as well! A nice size two that can be split or saved for later.
Seems to be popular spot in the neighborhood too but it never felt “crowded”. The staff and baristas aref reidnly- I’d def. recommend a visit if you’re in the area!
The shop also promotes local business, local art, and advocacy for social change. Well worth it, whether you live nearby or outside the East Pitt region.
I in fact do love it maybe more than the Beehives.
