“Stumbled upon this place yesterday and loved it. Such a cute and unique gift spot. A great and funny collection of stickers, cards and other smaller gifts. Will certainly be coming here for all of card needs!”
“Great place and fun selection of books! Just taking 1 star off because of the truly puzzling decision to lock what was basically the front door. I can understand if there was some shoplifting issue or something, but why the doors near the children’s area? That side of the building has the most people due to facing other storefronts and the shopping center’s main parking lot. They now want people to walk around to the basically deserted part of the shopping mall, with nothing but the PF Chang, basically no foot traffic at all. If you were say at the Five Below or Panera and then wanted to check out the bookstore for impulse shopping or something, you have to walk around. It’s a thing you have to really think to do, since there’s really nothing on the back area of Settlers Ridge. I just don’t understand. Why not keep the children’s area doors open and the back area locked? I think the management decision is making this bookstore lose business and inconvenience potential customers.”
“Amazing food and really unique environment ! Alphabet City is so cool, restaurant and bar on one side, stage in the middle for musical performances, and library on the other side! Awesome, Northern-Italian inspired dishes, this time we had the arancini (best in the burgh) bolognese pappardelle and braised short rib ! One of the best Italian joints in the city”
“I love, love, LOVE this bookstore! It’s so beautiful with amazing offerings and the cafe attached has some great food/drink options too. I’m always looking for opportunities to support independent bookstores and this one definitely takes the cake! I was working in the area only temporarily but joined the points program anyway because I certainly hope I’ll be back!”
“Wait until you open the door and walk inside! It's like stepping through the doors of a wardrobe and into a magical place - because it is. Within you will find many beautiful and curious things curated by the owner who is always happy to share her knowledge and insight and answer any questions you might have. The prices at Sparkledragon are more than reasonable. The things I've purchased there cost double or triple elsewhere. The owner is trustworthy, kind and as honest as they come. You will enjoy your shopping experience at Sparkledragon.”
“One of my favorite finds in pgh. The owner is so incredibly kind and gives amazing recommendations. She hosts a bunch of fun events as well that really makes things feel like a community. Definitely a spot to checkout”
“Kinda pricey books but the selection is unmatched. Lots of curated tables of well known and indie authors. The inside is bright and airy as well. Stop by this place for sure!”
“Amazing staff. Amazing bookfairs (much better than Scholastic). I had the pleasure of being both an employee and a patron, and truly, the events and care that go into this indie bookstore is exceptional. Don't just check it out. Become a regular, go to the events, etc. You won't regret it!”
“Free parking outside of the building. A large children's area, manga area, and a variety of books for all ages. It has a café within the building. A person is at the help desk located in the center to help locate specific books or other info.”
“Pretty well stocked right after the holiday. They had what I was looking for. Some novelty merchandise was way over priced in my opinion. Clerk at the register asked if I was a rewards member and I responded probably not, no attempt was made to determine if I was so I still dont know. Paid for my books and left.”
“A mecca of sorts. Bill is a legend in the alt / indie / underground comics scene and runs this incredible store on his own, seemingly through pure magick and love.The selection is.. overwhelming, to put it mildly, but Bill somehow keeps a mental inventory of everything and will dig through boxes to find you some obscure gems.I wish i could spend weeks here (and a small fortune).Prices are great.The online shop is phenomenal if you can't make it in person.Support this Pittsburgh treasure!”
“Great atmosphere, friendly staff. They have a permanent deal of buy 3 things and get a fourth (under $10) for free. Visited from Chicago and had a great experience”
“Book books books! They have an incredible deal that if you buy three you get one free! I bought some of the most incredible books from the 1900’s still with placeholders and letters inside them. This is not a bookshop you want to skip over, and the employees are very nice, and will help you find what you’re looking for!”
“Went there to frame a painting, it was very nice experience. Was given proper attention and advice on finding a suitable frame. Also there is a 10-20% off based on how many times you have taken the service. I paid about 130 for medium range nice wooden frame for 18x14 painting. More basic options would cost less. They give honest opinion on the pros and cons too.”

“Pinskars Wine and Judaica in Squirrel Hill a true gem hidden in plain sight.This charming establishment isn't merely a store; it's a gateway to experiencing Jewish culture and spirituality through the rich flavors of kosher wines and the intricate beauty of Judaica.Upon entering, you're greeted not just by the warmth of the staff but by the welcoming glow of menorahs and the rich hues of handcrafted shofars, each piece telling its own tale of heritage and faith. It's as if you've been invited into a cozy living room.The wine selection at Pinskars is the best I found for Kosher wine in all of Pittsburgh.

“Great selection of books and office/composition/art supplies, and you can shop there without any university affiliation. Seems like it caters to students at all levels, their families, and anyone curious from the wider community.”
“A well hidden gem! They are a warehouse that sells books online. However, there is a door on side of the building for buying books on site. It’s cash only and you have to know what you’re looking for. They will grab it for you while you wait.I purchased a hardback cookbook that sells for $30 + . Mint condition. I paid $5.00.I believe this business is family run/owned. Very friendly and helpful staff.”

“I wanna update my review from before since I am now a grateful CCAC Alumni. I took the court reporting program with Mary Beth Johnson and finished in two years. Now I am a working official court reporter, which is exactly what I wanted. I didn't have a degree before and felt so self-conscious about it. With this associate's degree, I finally feel proud of and genuinely happy with the job I have. I was able to get training precisely in my field and literally had a job already lined up the moment I graduated. I am still in contact with some of my fellow court reporting student peers from CCAC's stenography program. Two of them I literally work with and see every day. Talk about networking that has profound impacts on my daily life. TIP: Make sure for general education or prerequisites that you look up your professors on RateMyProfessor dot com before enrolling. It really help me know what I was getting into and going for teachers that would best fit with my learning needs. $$$: I have NO STUDENT DEBT all because CCAC was wildly affordable, and I got some help from state grants. 90% of the time when I applied for scholarships on CCAC's website, I was awarded them, which really added up. Most people don't apply for them for fear of wasting their time by not being picked. You should definitely capitalize on that! There were certainly ups and downs to getting where I am now, but I am so glad I stuck it out with CCAC. It really paid off.”

“HPB is always a great trip. We go to all three in the Pittsburgh area. There are so many selections. We have found additions to our book collections and the odd just must have its. Staff is always friendly and helpful. They can look for books not in store and order them in for you as they have an interstore database with the other HPBs in the country.
More into music? There's vinyl and CDs galore. I even saw 8-tracks. Comics? Yes. Games - RPGs, tabletop, video? Yup, yup, and yup. Go, but some books and stuff. You know you want to...”
