“Me and my girlfriend have gone here twice and we’re already planning to come around every week. Their Frappes are delicious and the build your own sandwich was amazing. We were already expecting the sandwich to be good but it was even better then we imagined. Can’t wait to try out the rest of the menu!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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 cafe has such a warm and cozy atmosphere. The design, the vinyl records, and all the little details make it feel very unique and relaxing. The coffee was great, and the service was even better. The girl working today was very friendly and welcoming you can really see that she enjoys her job. I felt very comfortable here. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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“

“Love this small batch coffee company. Tried them at a Farmers Market in Cranberry Township. Great flavors. We’ve tried their whole bean coffee - deep and complex. I love their brown sugar latte. Definitely the real deal! Love supporting this small business. ☕️“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“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. ☕️“

“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.“

“I really enjoy their coffee and breakfast sandwiches“

“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!“

“We’re in the area often for work and have tried several coffee shops, but we finally stopped in here—and it’s by far our favorite. The environment is adorable, the staff is kind, and the coffee and food are absolutely delicious. We’ll definitely be stopping back whenever we’re in the area. Come here—you won’t regret it!“

“I booked La Prima to set up a booth at my Sister in Laws wedding as many of the attendants were non drinkers. It was the biggest hit! Everyone loved it, the coffee is the best in Pittsburgh, and the staff was extremely nice and professional.“

“Since I first heard of this opening, I've been wanting to go for a long time. The atmosphere is very nice, not too loud, and the seating area is very beautiful! I was there for quite a while [first met with a friend, then solo reading time], and liked seeing all the slows and rush times within the cafe. All the pastries looked very beautiful, and it was nice to see options you wouldn't see at a big chain. The selections of coffee are very enticing and interesting, but I got a plain latte because of my sweet treat. I tried the Dubai Chocolate Brownie, not toooo sweet and had enough crunch, which paired very well with the plain latte I got. I think it's very nice to have a space with Yemeni influence in its menu, and interior, especially since Pittsburgh is such a growing diverse space and the times we're in currently. As a Muslim person and POC, it was comforting seeing food I grew up with being shared, various different people enjoying this space, seeing people like me have a space, and seeing this cafe gain so much support.“

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

“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!“

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

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

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

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Met a friend I hadn't seen in forever at this little joint, was great catching up, Coffee was hot and nicely brewed, biscotti was standout. Small-ish, but cozy/minimalistic atmosphere. Get off the T and hit this place (when the T starts running again after our current Deep freeze!). Support local businesses! Viva Dormont!!“

“Ask them "what's good?" You'll be glad you did. The cold brew is "off the hook" today.“
