(upbeat music) - We're looking to create a place in the space for community.

That place where everybody knows your name.

- Good food, good company, good coffee.

Everyone loves our coffee.

(upbeat music) Breakfast sandwiches, lunch, smoothies, lattes.

Our Buffalo Chicken Flatbread gets a mix of ranch and buffalo sauce and red onion mixed with the chicken, and then a little bit of cheddar cheese and shredded mozzarella cheese.

- The scones, the muffins, cinnamon rolls quiche, those are all made by my hands.

We do have some desserts in there that we locally source from some entrepreneurs in the community.

(upbeat music) - [Kiya Heard] Chef Ron's Mac and Cheese.

- Cheddar and two other types of cheese that I can't really put out there 'cause they're kind of a secret.

- [John Wallace] Oasis Farm and Fishery, our urban farm, provides much of the lettuce, and the tomatoes, and the produce that we produce here.

So it's hyperlocal.

- [Kiya] Veggie Breakfast Burrito, which gets egg, cheese, some fresh red onion, some roasted vegetables in there.

- [Ron Harper] There's nothing like the satisfaction to seeing somebody's face once they consume one of your products.

You'll know 'cause it's either, "Mm, eh", "Mm-mm."

And its that Mm-mm that we look for.

(upbeat music) - We think it's important to proudly be a Black-owned business in the city of Pittsburgh.

We run a program called Own Our Own, which is focused on entrepreneurship equipping African American entrepreneurs to be successful and build businesses.

- I actually started as an intern, and then I was hired as a barista, and then a few months later I was then promoted to assistant manager.

- I was born and raised in this community and remember as a child, multiple businesses up and down the thoroughfare.

But we're playing an active role in the transformation, revitalization, and rebirth of the new Homewood.

You think about how we spend money because it matters.

When we invest locally, that's how jobs are created.

That's why entrepreneurship is so powerful.

- This place stands for a lot more than just sandwiches and coffee.

- It doesn't feel like a job.

Honestly, feels like I'm just working with family.
