Vibrant Sunshine Cafe Uptown

I craved the avocado toast, which I had 3 or 4 times, but this time, a big disappointment. The bread was a non-descript thin slice of wheat bread that was so small that is was lost in the to go box. The person preparing the toast painfully spread the minuscule amount on avocado on the toast, trying to make the scant tablespoon of avocado reach the edges, then covered the whole thing with a slimy Italian type of dressing. The cherry tomatoes were unceremoniously cut in half and sat looming on the small piece of bread with a sprinkle of arugula and seeds to top off the creation. Killed any future cravings of what was once the best avocado toast I had had in a long time.

Overpriced for mid food. Juices and shots are fine but other juice places in pgh have better like live fresh or clean juice. Smoothie bowls are also small for the price.

Working on Forbes avenue and found this juice bar/ little coffee shop. Wanted to get a wellness shot so I checked it out. They don't make fresh juice here, they get it from Pittsburgh juice company, which is cool but was kind of disappointing. Everything they have is in refrigerators pre-bottled. I went with two wellness shots, a turmeric one and a lemon ginger one. Said they were five bucks each on the refrigerator door. Also grabbed a 16 oz beet carrot, apple lemon ginger juice. Came in a nice glass bottle, and said $13 on the menu right on the refrigerator window. When I got to the register the girl rang me up and apparently the prices went up and they didn't change them on their menu listed. A juice for a 16 oz. bottle are now $15 a pop and the little small 2 oz wellness shots are now $6 a pop. I don't even think I paid that at the organic raw cold fresh juice bar in Las Vegas at the Cosmopolitan resort and Casino. I understand they are on Duquesne University campus, but how do you expect these students or workers to afford these juices on a regular basis? Probably a one And done for me. Cute place though!

I stopped by the Vibrate Sunshine's Duquesne University Location on Forbes Ave. I picked up Dragon Smoothie Bowl and Flower Child Kombucha. The bowl was a large enough amount that I shared it with my sister. My sister Clare is a very picky eater and she even liked it. She told me, next time to whole that coconut shavings next time. The kombucha was very tasty and was in a tap system! very cool!! I personally enjoyed the fresh shavings and we will defiantly be back. The avocado toast looks amazing. The

Vibrant Sunshine is an absolute gem in Pittsburgh’s wellness scene. Every juice, smoothie, and kombucha tastes like it was crafted with care and integrity. You can genuinely taste the difference; their use of organic fruits, vegetables, and superfoods shines through in every bright, clean, and refreshing sip. The plant-forward menu shows a real commitment to nutrition and sustainability, with excellent vegetarian options that are both creative and deeply satisfying, proof that healthy food can still be bursting with flavor. As a self-proclaimed coffee snob ☕, I’m obsessed with their coffee program featuring locally sourced espresso from Redhawk Coffee. It’s smooth, rich, and easily one of the best in the city. The café ambiance is warm, inviting, and energizing, making it the perfect spot to reset or catch up with friends. Honestly, they have so many incredible options that I end up trying something new each time, along with my favorite juices, of course. I’ve officially found my happy place...my forever spot! 🌞💛
