Is this the same owner as the former lawrenceville and downtown city cafe locations?

Their current menu:
Why do I care? This is a few blocks from my house and I hope the owner, Emil, stays in business there. And the food is good. Another reason is that Emil is an avid cyclist. Ask him about bike lanes.

the one in lawrenceville and downtown was also called City Cafe and owned by an Emil who is an avid cyclist with opinions on bike lanes.
Chances are good

I posted about him in the coffeeneuring thread. Interesting guy and one of my favorite cafes now. Tried posting to local Pittsburgh social media about place, to no avail. I guess he's not cool and trendy enough
Yeah, it is Emil, had the downtown location. Parks his bike in the back of the cafe. Has opinions on a lot of stuff if he gets the chance to talk. Went in there with some family and he was talking about wanting to get rid of air travel and cars, sentiments I agree with in general, but was still a bit awkward with cagers present

I was sitting on my bike at a red light in front of the Café and who I can only assume was Emil came running out of the store and asked about my ride, his enthusiasm caught me off guard but now I understand. I told him it was part of my commute and he gave me the you should stop by in the morning and have a coffee. Unfortunately, I drop down to the river through Rankin on my inbound commute and am almost always running late. I'm thinking I should stop in on the way home from work some evening and have a cup of energy before I head up Maple instead. I must say I really really miss the shoe repair store, he was the best.
