Formerly known as Voluto. Our second address in Pittsburgh, Commonplace Coffee — Voluto opened in June of 2012 and in doing so, continued a theme for us: organic growth spurred by surprise opportunities and the people in our family. A staff member had been working part time with us, and as their family grew, knew they needed to work more. At the same time, we were helping the owners of the original Voluto with other projects when they decided they wanted to sell the shop. Again with help from friends, we were able to adopt Voluto into our shops, become a part of a new community, and welcome more staff into Commonplace. We didn’t change much other than equipment at first and wanted to keep part of the name out of respect for the community already calling Voluto home. Our friend and manager of the shop, Drew, had a love and talent for hand-poured coffees, which became and continue to be an exciting focus for this shop.
