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.“

“This is an amazing meeting spot for breakfast,lunch or coffee. The food is amazing and the vibe is so vibrant and full of good energy. Everone is absolutely adorable. I recommend stopping in you won't be disappointed.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“What an awesome spot! It has everything, coffee, breakfast, lunch and so much more. When you arrive you never want to leave! Everyone is super friendly and helpful. I can’t wait to go back.“

“Great drinks and great service all the time!“

“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!“

“Love the food, delicious, fresh, authentic. Atmosphere is really cute. My only complaint is the service is typically exceedingly slow- think up to 30+ minutes for a sandwich even without a line. Best way to go is to order online well ahead of time if you don’t feel like waiting for a while.“

“10/10 drinks every time. ☕️“

“Wonderful customer service. Very warm and welcoming. Atmosphere is great and coffee was excellent.“

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

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

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

“My boyfriend and I stopped by to try the coffee (which was amazing!). I mentioned off hand how I’ve only tried matcha once and wasn’t really a fan. The barista surprised us and made an extra matcha for my boyfriend and I to sample and wow!! I will be coming back for matcha and coffee 😊 Great little spot in the strip we’d definitely recommend.“

“The best coffee everytime!!“

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

“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 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.“

“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.“

“This is without a doubt that best coffee I’ve had in Pittsburgh. I go pretty much every weekend and the quality is always great. They are busy, but for good reason obviously, the coffee is great! I’ve always had good service here and love this gem on the Southside.“

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

“They have a nice variety of matcha (and non-matcha) drinks and foods, and the interior is cozy and cute!“

“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!“

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

“NO WIFI - NOT IDEAL FOR REMOTE WORKING.

This is a nice coffee shop with a simple menu, decent seating, and in-house roasted beans, but no WiFi and I don’t believe there is a public restroom.

I’d advise looking elsewhere if you’re looking to sit down for a while and work on your laptop, study, and so on.

Not bad in a pinch if you have a mobile hotspot and need a seat with an outlet.“

“I don’t get wowed often but this place is worth every penny. We got the cheapest bread you could buy and steak tar tar to start, both were great, then we shared 2 large entrees - the rainbow trout and the chicken, both were 10/10, probably the most perfectly cooked fish I’ve ever had in my life and again I don’t get wowed often. This is by far now our favorite restaurant in Pittsburgh to go to, hands down a PREMIERE spot to eat.“

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

“Good Service and offer many good choices. If you like coffee and tea this is the place for you. 😊“

“Stopped here because I was a nearby comic store. It’s a great place to get lunch and read. I enjoyed the Star Wars theme and decorations, plus some Kiss stuff. I’ll definitely return for other baked goods and bagels, but I couldn’t resist the banh mi. I should have ordered two! Updated from previous review on 2026-02-23“

“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“

“This place is great! Super friendly and fast baristas, and the drip coffee is strong - plus it includes free refills, and you can get a punch card!

One suggestion - in your Northside location, the back seating area could use some lighting improvements. The bare bulbs glare in your eyes, and some of them are a harsh blue color. It would be a cozier space with shrouded light sources, ideally all a warmer color temperature.“

“Fresh delicious food. And friendly staff“

“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.“

“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.“

“Really cool and sustainable repurposing of an old Moose Lodge. Caught a meeting where the mission was being explained to another group, and it was awesome to hear about the concept. Egg sandwich is incredible, reminded me of the quality of food I experienced living abroad and brought back many happy memories, but at an affordable price- $12 for a large decaf, build your own egg sandwich with double the eggs and a bit of fresh fruit on the side. Was awesome to sit and feel like a person on the two days I visited and the staff was incredibly talented in addition to wonderful energy. Everyone who worked here loved their job and it showed! (To clarify that's exactly what I mean by the quality of food experienced abroad- happy food made by happy people.) Also a really cool co-working space.“

“Really great! I was passing through Pittsburgh and needed a place to co-work for the day. I wanted a place with style and reflective of the local culture. So, no Starbucks-esque places. I spent the day here from opening to closing. Service was great, coffee and food... great. They source as much as they can from cool local vendors, such as their ginger beer and foods. Also, right next door to a vinyl/record shop, so have fun! I was so comfortable there, a patron came up to me on my laptop to ask me a question about the operations here. HA! I look forward to them growing their patronage and more people getting to experience this place. I got a yummy vegan burrito for my overnight traveling to-go.“

“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. ☕️“

“Cozy little coffee shop with tasty drinks. We liked all the drinks we ordered though mine was definitely on the sweet side. Service was great and it is pretty busy with not much staff but they get the job done.
The menu options are standard coffee shop drinks as well as seasonal/ specialties. For food they have sandwiches, bagels, waffles, and assorted fresh baked goods. There are also some prepackaged snacks and drinks. Non food items include candles, mugs, cards, etc. No parking lot so you have to park on the street.“

“Great place great coffee and food“

“I really enjoy their coffee and breakfast sandwiches“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Always enjoy the coffee, the young lady working this Sunday morning is always pleasant and super swift! Appreciate her“
