With Small Business Saturday on the horizon, TABLE Magazine encourages you to shop local not just on the upcoming holiday but year-round. The small businesses owned by our neighbors do more than sell goods and services. They add vibrant life to our neighborhoods and to our entire region. Their presence brings our Main Streets alive, and the long-lasting, personal relationships they foster create a culture of positivity and belonging. To get you started on your local shopping adventure, check out these Downtown Beaver businesses.
Shop Local, Pittsburgh: Downtown Beaver
Wildwood Boutique
Women looking for a fashionable new look can head to Wildwood Boutique, a local, women-owned business. Here you can find cozy cardigans and stylish boots alongside sharp hats and striking dresses. The best part is you can shop online then pickup your order for free in-store.
Canine Kingdom
Your furry friends are as much family as your own children and deserve the same close care. Drop your dog off for a fun day full of exercise and enrichment or keep them looking their best with a spa treatment. They also have training classes for any pets that may need an extra helping hand.
Shirley Shoppe
Whether you’re looking for something more modern or more traditional, Shirley Shoppe carries a wide range of clothings options. Pick up a fun and simple sweatshirt or go all out on a new jumpsuit and jacket for the office. Either way you’ll be happy to have a refresh in your closet.

A Tasty Bite While You Shop Locally in Downtown Beaver
Cafe Kolache
It’s no surprise that homemade kolaches are a must from this cafe in the city. But, besides their famous bundle of nuts and filling, they also serve breakfast, lunch, and other desserts. Just don’t forget to grab a cup of their locally roasted and sourced coffees and teas before you leave.
Waffles Incaffeinated
Take breakfast food to a fine dining level with Waffles Incaffeinated, known for their elevated waffle creations. There are sweet waffles topped with ice cream, fudge sauce, and peanut butter, or savory waffles doused in sausage gravy topped with an egg and fried chicken. You can also create your own with over 50 toppings and mix-ins to choose from.
Wooden Angel
Head out to a romantic meal for two at this elegant eatery. Wooden Angel makes sure to give you a dining experience you’ll remember with exquisite dishes paired with just the right wines. Get their Famous Wooden Angel Lamb Rack for a special night out, or stop in during lunch for a quick Reuben.
Biba Latin Kitchen
Long a local favorite, the menu offers fresh, exquisitely made Latin fare. Chef/owner Jason Benegasi is the force behind the deliciousness. If you’ve never had a Cuban sandwich, now’s your chance. That and some house-made Tajarin (a mix of squash, sausage, spinach and leeks) will make a perfect meal to share with someone special.
