Weekend in PGH coffee — Oct 9–11

A Friday coffee stop and a Sunday submission deadline, plus dates that were coming up later in October. All of it has passed.

That weekend (Oct 9–11, past)

• Urban Trail Coffee — its dated weekly schedule listed an Outdoor Cafe at 8200 Perry Highway on Friday Oct 9 (past). Hours differed between its Instagram schedule and website. Official weekly schedule; website schedule.
• Virtual Latte Art Throwdown — submissions were due Sunday Oct 11, and public voting was scheduled for Oct 16–23. The winner announcement date was never confirmed here because the organizer’s event page and linked 2026 form disagree. Official rules; organizer’s event page.

Later in October (past)

• Pittsburgh Coffee Week — ran Oct 18–24, 2026, per its official homepage. Coffee Week homepage.
• Commonplace Coffee — Open, Manage, Grow: A Coffeehouse Workshop was Saturday Oct 24, 1–8pm, at its headquarters and roastery, 1004 Washington Boulevard. The agenda included a 2–4pm history session and cupping with Osito, guided by Head of Coffee Vikki Harris. Official workshop page.
