Commonplace Coffee Northland will be the focal point of the new lower-level library building extension with vista-like views of the surrounding area. It will serve as a meeting point, an area to engage with friends and colleagues, a space to connect with materials in the library, and a place to work. A full beverage menu alongside scratch-made baked goods and grab-and-go breakfast and lunch items from Commonplace’s Bakery will highlight the space. Commonplace and Northland are also excited to partner for coffee centric education and programming opportunities for library patrons.
Commonplace Coffee started in Indiana, PA in 2003 and currently operates seven cafes between Indiana, PA and Pittsburgh as well as a bakery that offers thoughtful and seasonally rotating baked goods to their cafes. Their headquarters is located on Washington Boulevard in the Larimer neighborhood of Pittsburgh and is home to their roasting and wholesale production, equipment service, barista training, and business operations. Commonplace focuses on offering quality specialty coffee that is approachable to a diverse audience and is committed to sourcing coffee in a way that supports coffee growers and the supply chain’s long-term sustainability. Commonplace is a community focused business that values the craft and care that goes into creating beautiful coffee and cafe experiences.
“It’s a partnership very much with a shared passion for care and craft,” notes Steele. “Commonplace’s focus on the entire coffee experience from sourcing and roasting their beans to their cafe experience and connection with the community to the alignment of our missions and ethos, we’re truly looking forward to our partnership.”
“Growing into the North Hills of Pittsburgh and having the opportunity to build relationships with a new community alongside an incredible partner is such an exciting moment for us,” shares Paul. “We can’t wait to share our craft with this new community and see the impact this space will have.”
