“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!“

“My favorite place for coffee and good people!“

“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!“

“On my walk to get my favorite little donuts I get every time I’m home in PGH, I saw this little coffee shop. My husband’s flight kept getting delayed so I decided to stop in here after I got my donuts. I thought I would grab and go but decided to take a seat to kill some time. My drink was so good, and I loved the vibe of this place. They had a little dance party while I was there. I wanted to take a video but thought it might be weird. I’ll definitely be by to visit whenever I’m home. So glad my husbands flight kept getting delayed so I could discover this new favorite place 💕“

We ordered some toast and Sarah chatted with us while we sat and ate. She told us about the record and comic shop in the building and we were able to shop around! What a wonderful afternoon thank you Kaibur and a big thank you to Sarah!“

“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.“

“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 ✨🧡🧋“

“EXCELLENT coffee! One of the best mochas I’ve had.

I would have sat down, but it was very cold out today, and the garage door was wide open! I also discovered there’s no WiFi.

Some room for improvement, but definitely worth the trip :)“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Great place great coffee and food“

“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!“

“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!“

“Great service and delicious coffee!“

“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!“

“WOW! I’m obsessed🫶 Gourmet at a great price😍

Coziest seating & even better food/coffee!- generous portions

I went here while having my car worked on at Cochran and couldn’t recommend more!! -best cold brew I’ve had in YEARS! (I got their seasonal flavor)

The spinach feta egg wrap tasted like the veggies/cheese were fresh out the farm & the peanut butter chocolate cupcake was delicious as well! I wish I was closer but will for sure be stopping by anytime I get my vehicle serviced!“

“Love this little hidden gem, The staff is so friendly and a lot of fun- our barista sort of messed up my drink (literally not the biggest deal in the world, she was busy) but we were all joking about it with a couple we met there and she was a good sport and super sweet, literally great energy. The food is 100/10 we got the grilled cheese and tomato basil soup and also a breakfast burrito and wow oh wow- everything from the vibes to food to the energy this place is def top on our list. The details in this place from their unique retail to the free bagged cookies they left out for anyone to take just makes the place feel warm cozy and inviting on a cold winter day. Will 1000% be back thank you so much!!!!!!!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great service and delicious coffee!“

“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!“
