50 Best Coffee Shops near Allison Park

“Great coffee and gluten free options.“

“Friendly staff. Nice local option for good coffee.“

“Working with the public in fast food is a difficult job. The staff at this McDonald's is always pleasant and kind. They tell you to have a good day and to be safe on the road. They ask how you are doing today. They understand customer service. Many of these workers appear to be close to retirement or past retirement and I am sure their days are long but they treat their customers like human beings. McDonald's is not a gourmet meal, but this McDonald's has 5 star service. It is appreciated. Thank you.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Shared a quick meal here one afternoon. it is a lovely place with a feel like home. Food was good and drinks were even better. Will return soon for more! I never would have thought to stop in here until my friend received a gift card to this place and we decided to try it.“

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

“baristas always go above and beyond 🤤🥐☕“

“Stopped in this morning and had a cherry almond latte. It was delicious! very cute place and i cant wait to go back.“

“ok yes great coffee and clean atmosphere and very pleasant place etc BUT this review is mostly for the employee who excitedly started singing the best ever death metal band in denton upon seeing my shirt. I hope you have/had a great birthday you were so nice!“

“Great drinks and great service all the time!“

“I really enjoy their coffee and breakfast sandwiches“

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

“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!“

“Was looking for a drink for my drive home so I popped in here! I love matcha and trying different ones from different places! 🍵
This one did not disappoint!
The man making the drinks was super friendly and extremely insightful!
He helped us pick out flavors and everything with some recommendations and they did not disappoint!
We got a strawberry puree matcha the strawberry flavor was very subtle but the perfect for a lightly sweetened flavor
And I got a lavender iced matcha (my favorite!)
It was the perfect ratio of everything!“

“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!“

“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. ☕️“

“Visited this morning for the first time. Got egg and cheese sandwiches, one croissant one ciabatta - both were amazing!! The lattes were delicious and rich. You can really taste the quality of the espresso. They were short staffed (1 employee who was grinding hard!) so I did wait about 25 minutes for two coffees and sandwiches. I didn’t mind that much and it was well worth the wait. Can’t wait to go back!“

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

“I studied and worked remotely from this location many times from 2021 - 2025. The atmosphere of the Wexford location is unparalleled by any other coffee place I've been to. The plants, the decor, the engaging baristas, delicious coffee, tasty blueberry muffins, and the overall positive and relaxing vibe drew me back over and over again. I have nothing but positive things to say about this place, the people who work there, and those who own and govern the business. I haven't been to the other locations, but I'm sure they are excellent, too. :) So, go grab a coffee, get into gardening via one of the many plants for sale, and have a good time.“

“Just tried this place for the first time today with a friend who has been before. Awesome hole in the wall type of place, decorated with awesome artwork and vintage star wars collectibles. Music was choice. I was happy when Weird Fishes by RadioHead started playing. The person working told me the name of the radio station that he plays, which I didn't quite catch, but he was very kind. Got a great cold brew with almond milk and lavender syrup. And I tried my first Banh Mi Sandwich that happened to be the vegan tofu variety. When I tell you it an explosion of fresh flavors and textures. So delicious and refreshing on a hot day. Savored every bite. My friend got her usual BLT with vegan bacon, which she loves. We were talking about how normally bread feels like a waste of calories when it is not that good. But even the bread was devine ciabata. Haha, definitely this place out!“

“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.“

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

“The Girls working know my drink by heart well they did there always nice an smiling it’s the energy in that place it’s contagious an they can make the coffee you ordered in to some type of coffee milk art piece a personal panting you can eat lmfao love this place“

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

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

“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.“

“Awesome people, delicious & fresh options! Such a treat to have nearby!“

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

“Great place great coffee and food“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Great tasting coffee with the most pleasant service! A must visit for anyone in the area!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Chai tea is the best I’ve ever had! Nice conversations with the man serving us, enjoyed the whole experience :)“

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

“The coffee is great, and all of the employees and the owner are genuinely nice, caring people. The service is always on point, plus they have Orams donuts! Definitely check this place out. It's a great local, independent coffee shop run the way it should be.“

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