50 Best Coffee Shops in Pittsburgh

“Incredible meal, outstanding service, cool vibe. Scallops were fresh, perfectly cooked chicken, and the best Panna cotta I've ever had. I asked the server for pairings and they were all perfect. First time having a Pinela and loved it. I wish I was there with someone to try more. It was a last minute decision to eat here and really only stumbled upon it. So glad I found it! Definitely worth a visit. Make a reservation or get there when they open to sit at the bar.“

“Checked this place out for some Sunday morning cappuccino. We also tried the quiche Lorraine, very delicious! Loved the atmosphere - neat artwork and Bob Dylan tunes playing in the background. We will definitely be back!“

“I truly go out of my way just to stop here. Carly and Jen are my Chillin besties and I adore them so much. Amazing drinks and good food.“

“The food was really good and I liked the atmosphere. I’m an eggs benedict fan so I really enjoyed the variety of choices! I’ve lived in the area for almost 4 years now and have always driven past this place numerous times but never stopped in until today and I can say I am really impressed + it’s walking distance so that’s an extra perk!“

“Hands Down best coffee in Pittsburgh. Been coming here for 3 years for great coffee and pinball“

“baristas always go above and beyond 🤤🥐☕“

“It’s a very tiny coffee shop, but they probably have my favourite drink in all of pittsburgh. Their almond torte coffee is to die for, and I still think of it to this day. It is creamy and delicious, and the form on top itself is magical. I would have it every day if I could. The space itself is quite intimate and communal. There is very limited seating, so you might have to share your table with somebody else in a communal sort of set up. There are lots of games on Offer and I saw couple families playing board games. This cafe actively discourage you from using laptops and working from there. So if you are planning to work, this might not be the place for you. But if you’re planning to come here and enjoy a delicious coffee along with your favourite book, you are in the right place. I would avoid their pastries. It was just meh.“

“My fiancee and I got our cat Onyxia 2 years ago from the Black Cat Market and she fits into our family like she has always been there. When you come into the Black Cat Market, you can tell the care and consideration that is taken into every animal. The space is adorable and they have so many other vendors too! Cat wine, cat toys, cat-themed stickers, etc. Their rules are reasonable and straightforward. I love it there!“

“I really enjoy their coffee and breakfast sandwiches“

“I often work remotely from my laptop, and this shop has always been my go-to after moving to the Southside in 2020. The atmosphere is incredibly cozy and the baristas are extra attentive and caring. I love this spot so much so that after two years of being a "regular" I started working here part time. As a customer turned employee, I can honestly say that being behind the counter is just as amazing as my experience from the other side of the bar. Lavinia puts so much heart into every detail and cares deeply about fostering a sense of community within the shop (for both employees and customers). I recommend Delanie's to everyone in hopes of it becoming their favorite spot too!“

“Fantastic tea and hip atmosphere.. A++“

“Was just at the Indiana location and wanted a low carb late that wasn’t made with sucralose - they were kind and accommodating and made me a delicious slightly sweet latte with stevia and vanilla bean paste that is so good ! So glad to go support local and really great quality coffee over a chain branch - also got my toddler and adorable sprinkle cookie“

“Best coffee on Walnut Street! The mango frappe is also awesome.“

“The “go too” for the areas best coffee selection. If you don’t find it here, more than likely it just can’t be found.“

“my favorite coffee shop ever!!! every barista here is so kind and friendly!! their coffee is delicious and so are their baked goods (:“

“Actually the vegan egg and cheese sandwich was also outstanding, and well worth the walk up the hill from Lawrenceville. We had a delicious breakfast in this chilled and super-friendly, neighborhood cafe, sitting on the porch in the sun, on a visit to Pittsburgh. Will definitely try to make it back. Thank you!“

“It’s such a cute coffee shop! Friendly employees. ♥️“

“I go thru this drive thru often, and this evening I went through with a larger more complicated order. In my frazzled state, I dropped my card out the window and couldn’t reach it. I said I would pull around to pick it up after I got my drinks. Instead, the two sweet baristas working made all my drinks and went outside in the rain to grab my card for me. 11/10 customer service and kindness. And the drinks were perfect.“

“Stopped there this morning and tried their burnt almond torte latte. The drink was amazing. Their atmosphere had a very cozy relaxing feeling to it and the employees were very welcoming.“

“So good. Got the salmon toast which was delicious. Definitely worth the stop“

“Great quality drinks, syrups and products AND EVEN BETTER are the people! We absolutely love this spot ♥️“

“In town visiting with family - coffee is a necessity to begin any day. Big Dog Coffee is exactly what we needed. Relaxed atmosphere- great coffee and fabulous pastries and sweets. If you’re in Pittsburgh- definitely stop by and support local small business. ☕️“

“We went here today and the place is absolutely unique. The coffee and the pastries are outstanding and this place is one of my new favorite places.“

“Absolutely delicious matcha drinks with mixologist skill, lovely service, and excellent baked goods: cookies, miso-sesame biscuits are a must try! My gf and I are regulars here. We think it’s the best matcha house in Pittsburgh.

Besides the drinks and baked goods, they offer blended matcha powders for at-home as well as tasteful tea-mixing accoutrement. We’ve enjoyed making teas at home, but there’s nothing like coming in.

We haven’t tried their soft-serve yet but are excited to!

Great place to sip and work on WiFi as well.

Dietary restrictions: Non-dairy milk selections like oat, soy, almond.“

“Step into a European experience once inside this small, exquisite, personable coffee bar.
Sweet owners eager to serve with a smile, full conversation, while preparing your daily fresh ground bean coffee drink.
My favorite is the cappuccino...
A beautiful heart design on top of my coffee foam done like a real Italian artist!...
never disappeared till my last sip!
The pastries, scones are 'best friends' with your palate..
My husband and I love it here and look forward to our visits each week
A beautiful experience, and a 'best' personal choice to be added to your daily 'to do' list.

“Nicholas has the coffee, anywhere! Also the best service, second to none! I ordered coffee yesterday morning. It arrived by noon the next day!❤️❤️. Thank you!“

“I had the smoothest tastiest hot latte today with almond syrup and whole milk. I was seriously shocked by how delicious it was! And I have drank a lot of lattes. I love Espresso A Mano and will keep coming back. I don't know the barista's name but he had dark hair and I came in around 11:30am today (Wednesday). Thank you for being a great neighborhood staple!“

“Been in Oakland for a few years and Sidecar is my go-to cafe for myself and to meet up with friends. The food is phenomenal, their baked goods are perfection, and the drinks are delicious. Special shout out to the barista Em for making some of the best coffees I’ve ever had and always having great drink recommendations and such cheerful, professional customer service. The entire place is decorated so cutely with their signature mugs and wall art (please start selling the mugs!) and their iconic mirror wall. I recommend Sidecar whenever a friend mentions they want to get coffee, and I always recommend the Pittsburgh Smog tea and cinnamon rolls.“

“Coffee is great, staff is great, birds are great. 11/10“

“It’s such a cute coffee shop! Friendly employees. ♥️“

“Potomac station is a great little corner coffee shop. The coffee is made properly and the pastries and paninis are made there. Try the Mayan Mocha and the pumpkin cinnamon rolls. I highly recommend it. Andrew runs a tight ship.

Kid-friendliness: I'm not sure kids would like the food or coffee. They might.“

“Fantastic tea and hip atmosphere.. A++“

“As someone who isn't a fan of coffee, the barista made a great beverage recommendation. I would absolutely go back!“

“biscuits and gravy slaps, their burritos slap, they have a wild amount of drink options. The dining room is typically always clean, they do get packed sometimes because of how good they can be. They worked very hard to get where they are in the industry here in the 719. make sure to support your local businesses no matter what! This place had dreams of being a restraunt and made it happen!“

“As someone who isn't a fan of coffee, the barista made a great beverage recommendation. I would absolutely go back!“

“The people and food is awesome. Will keep coming back to them to get my coffee fix.“

“Stopped here for a drink since I was in the area. I had the Vietnamese Cold Brew and it was really good. Unfortunately the location isn't convenient for me but I would visit again if I was in town. Great service as well!“

“I stopped in last night, there were two young ladies behind the bar that didn't acknowledge my presence. But when I came in there was a young man sweeping the floor because it was almost closing time and he put the broom down and came behind the bar to wait on me. He's the superstar in this story! Even after he got my drink, the young ladies behind the bar never made eye contact with me. Hard to believe you can go to a place in East Liberty and be treated as if you are invisible.“

“It’s such a cute coffee shop! Friendly employees. ♥️“

“food was fantastic, and the bottomless Margaritas, sensational“

“This place has such a nice vibe. I had a cup of latte with seasonal syrup and it was pretty good. Def recommend. Nice place to get some work done if you are okay with some background noise (personally I'd say it's a bit noisy for Zoom meetings).“

“After a long cold walk up and down the neighborhood hills today, this was the PERFECT stop! Great latte and the lox sandwich was perfection! Staff was just as wonderful. I will def be back!“

“Fantastic tea and hip atmosphere.. A++“

“I’m actually mad at myself for discovering this place so late. I have to say this is probably going to become my number one spot to work from. The reasons are pretty clear.
Space is extremely large, and there are multiple types of seating where you can work solo or with a group. There is free Wi-Fi as well as plug points.
The coffee is delicious and they have Vietnamese coffee, which is one of my favourites.
The banh-mi was delicious and although not entirely traditional, it was extremely tasty.
Everyone was becoming and nice. Will be back again for sure.“

“Loved their coffee for decades. Signed up for their newsletter that lets me know when they have deals.“

“It’s such a cute coffee shop! Friendly employees. ♥️“

“This is my partner and I's favorite coffee shop in all of Pittsburgh. Every drink I've ordered has been delicious, and their breakfast burrito is amazing as well. Never a miss with this place. The baristas are friendly and efficient, and the owner is a great guy - friend of my partner. The atmosphere is unlike any other in the city, eclectic and maximalist, yet very cozy. There's a reason that every time we go most of the tables, indoor and outdoor, are filled up! I've recommended this place to countless people, and will continue to do so. We probably come here at least once a week, and are always looking for excuses to stop by and get a tasty drink.

Vegetarian options: Grilled cheese, breakfast burrito, pastries

Dietary restrictions: They have the typical variety of milk options (whole, oat) and their foods are vegetarian friendly.“
