It’s one thing to open a new business in the middle of a pandemic. It’s another to do so within a Pittsburgh northside community business district that is undergoing some very drastic changes.

Entrepreneurship has always been a goal of both Erica and Charla (Quinn). They put their heads together well over two years ago with the idea of one day opening a small neighborhood cafe and sandwich shop. Today, this big idea has transformed into a full-blown reality!

After the passing of Charla’s mother, Ms. Ida Quinn, who was a resident of the Northside for more than 40 years, it was only natural to name the business after her.

We would like to invite you to show your support, encourage them, and celebrate their accomplishments as they move towards their goal of entrepreneurship. This business warming wish list has several items we know will help them get started. With your help, we can ensure that their first couple of weeks of being in business is a smooth transition.

Any monetary gifts of love are also welcomed.

***Please remember if you do choose an item off of the list that you go back into the registry to update the purchase as bought. This will help to avoid duplicate gifts.


Thank you so much for your love and support!
