“Great coffee & variety of specials, served by good people. Run by long-time members of the artist/musician/performing community, and genuinely awesome folks.“

“Absolutely a must stop. They get top notch beans imported from all over the world! The flavors and aromas are bar none. I love the fact they are involved with the local community! Great people!“

“i visited this place the day after four chord festival in July during that insane heat wave. needless to say, I was extremely dehydrated and needed SOMETHING. I literally have never had such a fresh, pure tasting smoothie in my life. I felt sooo good after having one, that I came back for a second one. I cannot stress how much this place is a must-visit every time I come to Pittsburgh from the mason-dixon. 5 stars isn't enough.“

“baristas always go above and beyond 🤤🥐☕“

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

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

“We visit this coffee shop every time we’re in town visiting my Dad, who lives a couple of blocks away. It never disappoints! The records are fun to peruse and the chai latte is probably the best I’ve ever had, and I’ve had them all :)“

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

“Such a rare find. Excellent coffee with the most helpful, kind staff. We won’t buy our coffee anywhere else!“

“The workers take such good care of these cats & truly make sure they’re going to be in the best hands. It’s so admirable to see the team work so tirelessly out of the goodness of their own heart. I greatly reccomend them!“

“The Lemon Rose Iced Latte was very refreshing. Perfect combination of two very unexpected flavors. The cinnamon roll with the buttercream was equally delicious . I’m so glad I googled coffee near me while we were at Shadyside hospital.“

“On my walk to get my favorite little donuts I get every time I’m home in PGH, I saw this little coffee shop. My husband’s flight kept getting delayed so I decided to stop in here after I got my donuts. I thought I would grab and go but decided to take a seat to kill some time. My drink was so good, and I loved the vibe of this place. They had a little dance party while I was there. I wanted to take a video but thought it might be weird. I’ll definitely be by to visit whenever I’m home. So glad my husbands flight kept getting delayed so I could discover this new favorite place 💕“

“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.“

“Amazing! I love Delanie’s they make fantastic coffee. I always get an iced latte with oat milk and it’s perfect every time. The coffee is always consistent it tastes and looks the same no matter who makes it or how busy they are, which is extremely important to me. The staff is super friendly, the atmosphere is great for working or hanging out, and best of all, they’re dog-friendly!“

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

“Been coming for a few years now, and I've loved every drink I've gotten. The iced matcha latte and hojicha latte (warm) are my go-to orders. I've been branching out more recently with their seasonal drinks. Would highly recommend the strawberry shortcake matcha latte if you enjoy sweet drinks (but not too sweet, haha). The cafe itself is a vibe - very aesthetic and relaxing place if you want to get a bit of work done.“

“I really enjoy their coffee and breakfast sandwiches“

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

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

“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!“

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

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

“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!“

“Hands down the best coffee beans I've ever had. Awesome staff, very friendly people, they make my day whenever I visit. Cacao is also uniquely amazing. They offer traditional Colombian flavors (like that panela syrup), delicious arepas and empanadas, as well as tasty pastries. I love this place. Haven't had anything like it, makes me want to visit Colombia to explore the flavors. I'm going to miss it when I leave.“

“I came in the afternoon on a Friday with my family and had an amazing experience! Sarah helped us and recommend the berry chia which was DELICIOUS. We ordered some toast and Sarah chatted with us while we sat and ate. She told us about the record and comic shop in the building and we were able to shop around! What a wonderful afternoon thank you Kaibur and a big thank you to Sarah!“

“LOVE delanies ss :) their iced tiramisu latte w/ almond milk was my go to in the summer!! and the baristas are always so sweet and considerate;; they would ask each time if i wanted the heavy cream on top since i got nondairy milk like 🥹 10000% recommend the drinks and vibes here ✨🧡🧋“

“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.“

“EXCELLENT coffee! One of the best mochas I’ve had.

I would have sat down, but it was very cold out today, and the garage door was wide open! I also discovered there’s no WiFi.

Some room for improvement, but definitely worth the trip :)“

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

“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.“

“Our first time at the cafe. Loved the atmosphere and the wall graffiti depicting famous people from scientists, to musicians to artists. I read a previous review saying the art on the wall was AI generated, must have been before the wall graffiti was done. We were a party of 3 and each ordered a different menu item. There is something for everyone. The bread for the sandwiches and the bread accompanying the egg dishes is sourdough bread. The salad portions with the egg dish was very generous. The fruit with the French toast bread was mostly berries and generous portion. This is not something you see in other breakfast places where fruit portions are small and mostly banana. Waitresses were frindly and accomodating. We all loved it and will be coming again.“

“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.“

“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. ☕️“

“I feel so lucky to live just down the street from this coffee shop! My go-to order is a small mocha, and the 8oz is always perfectly balanced between slightly sweet chocolate and strong espresso. The staff are so friendly, and I love popping in when I need an afternoon pick me up when working from home or I want a drink to sip as I window shop on Potomac.“

“Here in Pittsburgh for the weekend from Atlanta, Fet Fisk was high on the itinerary. They knocked it out of the park! Everyone was dressed for Halloween. Riley was our server and he was a gem. Attentive without being overbearing. The drinks were lovely. The pate was delicious to start, as was the caviar. The chantrelle mushrooms with the lignonberries? So savory and incredible. Now the standouts.. the rainbow trout and spaetzle. UH-MAZING! The espresso gin and tonic? Killer.

Overall, 20/10 stars! Thanks everyone!“

“Great cafe with lovely food and drinks! The coziness of the interior makes it a great spot to relax, study/work, and hang out! Plus, the pastries all look amazing, especially the pies, but I’d also recommend the breakfast sandwich, which was one of the best ones I’ve had in awhile! The egg is super fluffy and the cheese they use went so perfectly, every bite was addicting.

Definitely will be coming back to try some of their pastries, and a crowd favorite especially for students, love it!“

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

“Great coffee and food! We had a cortado and iced vanilla latte. Both were very well made and the vanilla syrup was made in house. We also had a vegan burrito and a vegan blueberry muffin, which was excellent. The owner was very sweet and welcoming. Lots of vegan options.“

“My review comes after MANY visits here! We stopped in and had a great time. I'm leaving this review to thank the man who gave my husband some bandaids for his blistered heels. Going out of your way for a customer an hour before closing isn't something you get everywhere. Thank you!“

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

“First time at this coffee shop, and was greeted very warmly by the staff. Every item was explained and given a wholesome and community reason to purchase. Even the lemon tip game proceeds go to the local library. This is a very nice location for the community with excellent coffee to back it up!“

“The coffee was great, though the large was a little small for the price. The ambiance is really the draw, with a lovely outdoor patio area and a warm and decorated indoor area, perfect to chat or do work in. I also love that they have antiques and jewelry for sale, best of both worlds!“

“I did not get any food when I stopped at Cares CommuniTEA Cafe, but I did get a cup of coffee. And I must say it was one of the best cups of coffee I have ever had. The service was wonderful and the atmosphere was very pleasant. I will definitely come back to try the food and I recommend stopping by!“

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

“Real coffee if you are looking for decent expresso and latte“

“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!“

“Best coffee drinks, and the fresh biscottis were my favorite when we visited this past fall!“

“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!“
