50 Best Coffee Shops near Carnegie

“Walking into the old post office feels like stepping back in time. The building is beautifully renovated, with charming side rooms that add to the cozy atmosphere. Everything is made fresh, and the coffee was absolutely amazing. Our breakfast sandwiches were delicious—hot, flavorful, and clearly made with care. We loved how dog-friendly it was, making it easy to pop in and out with your pup. The whole place has a warm, family-friendly vibe. Truly a hidden gem right in the heart of Carnegie!“

“We had lunch at LeoGreta today and stopped at the bakery as we were leaving. We just tried the apple pie and it was delicious. Great crust and the filling wasn’t overly sweet, apples had a bite still and the spices were perfect! I had a good cappuccino as well! Definitely recommend and will be back!“

“Employees here are always super nice! If an order is incorrect, they will correct it immediately without any pushback. For people to say that they waited over 30 minutes is clearly an exaggeration to try and prove a point. If you had water for coffee (I doubt it) ask for another! They will oblige. There is not one restaurant that is perfect. But when that happens, give these people a chance to rectify and not just cry in a review. For those saying that takes too much time, you took the time to write a crappy review.“

“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.“

“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!“

“I got the Morning Hash. and thought it was very good. next time are in town we'll try it again.“

“the quality of everything is top notch the staff and customers alike are always friendly and the atmosphere always the most heavy in the lightest most amazing way possible...and I suck at pinball but the gods will me to play so play I must!.lol never a bad time ever!“

“Riley and the gang are roasting and serving up the best coffee in the city. You can always expect super chill vibes, a diverse pour over menu, and the occasional seasonal specialty drink that will alter your brain chemistry forever. These guys love coffee and it shows. The weekend line might be long, but it’s absolutely worth the wait!“

“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!“

“Their iced spiced chai tea is amazing, and the ladies are always kind and friendly.“

“Great drinks and great service all the time!“

“If you are tired of the large coffee locations making drinks not worth the money then you want to go to Pour Johnny's. I was looking for a locally owned coffee shop to fill my need and they did not disappoint. The owners are always there and my drink was amazing. This was my first time there but definitely will not be my last. If your looking for a new coffee shop please give them a try. I am so glad I did and love supporting a locally owned business.“

“My favorite place for coffee and good people!“

“Stopped in the Indiana shop to meet TJ, the owner. Cozy spot with great baristas! Enjoyed my first visit! Thanks!“

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

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

“This was an excellent find off our beaten path. We were here for Anthrocon and happened to be in the area and oh my goodness whis was AMAZING. The Back Home Latte was fantastic and their shortbread treats (I forgot the name but I had date and pistachio) were so goooooood. This is a must visit location!“

“Needle & Bean is my home away from home in the South Hills. Every barista is so welcoming and people I look forward to being served by and also getting music recommendations from. Mike, the owner, is always great for a music convo, plus his taste in music is impeccable. Not only that but it's one of the only coffee shops in the South Hills with free parking! This isn't even mentioning their 3rd wave coffee and superb vinyl offerings and growing event calendar. I cannot recommend N&B enough.“

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

“A chill spot for great coffee and small bite to eat. Popped in on our way out of the city. The barista was very helpful! Ordered the dulche de Leche and mocha - both were very good, neither too sweet. I really enjoyed the rich caco flavor of the mocha. Also ordered a chicken empanada with the chimi sauce - wow! Chicken was not heavily seasoned and flavorful, empanada crust was firm and crisp, and the chimi was great!! Also purchased a chocolate bar from the Putumayo department of Columbia- flavorful yet not overpowering. Can't wait to use the coffee beans we also purchased.“

“Visiting from out of town and always like to check out local coffee spots. Delanie's did not disappoint. Ordered a tiramisu and cookie butter latte as well as a chia seed pudding. Service was very pleasant and efficient, drinks were top notch, and atmosphere was perfection -- cozy and comfortable with an outstanding view. Plan to return and explore menu further. This place is a winner.“

“I am allergic to eggs and this is the only place that has an egg replacement (tofu) that makes a sandwich that is just as good as real egg. the staff are all hilarious and so friendly. they also make the best mocha in pittsburgh… maybe even the world… the vegan pastries don’t even taste vegan 🙌🙌“

“It’s always a pleasure to visit Espresso A Mano. I have never had a bad customer service experience. I discovered the Dormont location first, as it is close to my home. Matt, the owner, has always been very kind and welcoming. The coffee and tea are equally delicious!“

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

“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.“

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

“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++“

“Absolutely loved this place! It’s such a cute little shop and the owner is so sweet. I wanted a really yummy, but low calorie latte and he took his time explaining different options and swaps he could do to make my latte how I wanted it. It ended up being really good! Can’t wait to come back :)“

“I am a proud coffee snob. This coffee shop is worth the search. Do yourself a favor and cross the river climb the hill and try this hidden gem. The dark roast coffee is one of the best cups of coffee I’ve had, robust, smooth with depth of flavor. Just perfect as a pour over with a touch of cream. The mocha latte was perfectly creamy and lightly sweet. We also had an apple muffin, I got the last one, now I see why they sell out to quickly. Don’t settle for week or Chan coffee when you are in the ‘burgh, 5 minutes out of the city, free parking in a bright airy cafe. What more could you need in a bright morning?“

“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. ☕️“

“It was a nice cafe with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating inside the Moose Building. It was spacious, with easy parking, restrooms, and WiFi. The coffee was reasonably-priced. We didn’t try the food. For a while some kitchen appliance was making a lot of background noise, so if they cleared that up it would be great.“

“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.“

“I’ve been coming here almost every morning. The latte is always delicious, and the service is amazing. The guy and the girl working here are always friendly and welcoming. They make my mornings better, and I’ll definitely keep coming back!!“

“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.“

“Fantastic new coffee shop downtown. Very fun menu with unique, creative items and of course the classics as well. I got to try their double baked pistachio filled croissant and one of their specialty coffee drinks called The Force.

Lots of cool themes here. The Force is a drink that includes both Nutella and cookie butter. It was, of course, quite sweet and reminded me of hot chocolate. It was really good, naturally. Honestly though I’m not sure I could distinctly tell the cookie butter was there.

The pistachio croissant was also one of the best I’ve had in a little while. They can warm it up too! Perfectly flakey on the outside, and buttery on the inside. Loads of pistachio. Perfectly sweet. Really, really good.

All in all, definitely recommend this place. Awesome vibe and delicious pastries and drinks. Yes, some of the drinks are a little pricey (maybe the specialty ones), but they are delicious.“

“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. ☕️“

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

“Half the time you get pasta salad half the time you get chips is my only complaint.“

“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!“

“I really enjoy their coffee and breakfast sandwiches“

“Very friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere, unusual selection of food including sandwiches, yummy looking pies (yes, pies!), baked goods (had the best scone ever - caramel toffee!). Very tasty iced latte. Not too into the old hippie vibe (lived thru it once, enough) but that'sy personal preference. Will definitely go out of my way to go there again.“

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

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

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

“Great service and delicious coffee!“

“Norah (with an H!) is the newest of many brewistas we've met during our frequent stops to this location — which we go out of our way to visit. Whether it's earlier than I'd like to be awake or an afternoon drop-by, every staff member here carries the same warm, welcoming attitude and delivers with an energy that rivals the drink menu. Norah is the newest to me of exceptional workers but is by no means the first.“

“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.“

“Fantastic!!! This was our first time in and we were blown away by the food. We tried several items and everything was so fresh and flavorful. Looking forward to working our way through the menu during future visits. Such a wonderful addition to the area!“
