“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!“

“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 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.“

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

“My favorite place for coffee and good people!“

“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 :)“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

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

“baristas always go above and beyond 🤤🥐☕“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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 ✨🧡🧋“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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 really enjoy their coffee and breakfast sandwiches“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“My husband and I didn't know this place was here till today, but we are so glad we found it! The Farmer's Latte was excellent and I always appreciate having milk substitutes! The Arepas were delicious and very filling! Service staff are very kind; we will definitely be back!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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. ♥️“

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

“Went to try this place with my friends for a little afternoon snack and coffee. We all agreed it’s such a nice spot to share a short break and enjoy something delicious. The two coffees we tried were amazing — my friend had the hot pistachio latte and I had the hot lotus latte, both 10/10!

The honeycomb pastry is definitely something I’d come back for — such a delicious treat! I had never tried it before, but it’s the perfect combo for a cozy coffee afternoon.

The coffee shop has a great atmosphere too — perfect if you want to get some work done or just relax. It’s nice, spacious, and quiet.“

“Great place great coffee and food“
