“Clean and colorful, all-gender friendly, delicious coffee cakes, very nice owner. He really has a sense of community and is using his space to do good in the community through neighborhood clean-ups, chess events for all levels, and more. Check it out.“
“Today was my second visit here, after having finally stopped in a couple weeks ago. This place is nothing short of AWESOME! It's bright and happy, with wonderful colors and totally unique tabletops--created by the owners! They have done most everything themselves, a true accomplishment and a reason to be proud! The employees are unfailingly friendly and helpful! The owners have hired handicapped individuals, and today I was fortunate to see the owner teaching one such an employee a new skill, and she was so patient and very encouraging, helping this young woman to catch on quickly and feel good about herself. You don't see an employer working to build up employees that way very often. They have an amazing assortment of handmade ice cream, some flavors you'd expect and some you wouldn't. Truth be told, I've yet to try the ice cream, as both times I've been here, it's been morning and I was on a quest for coffee, but I sure do plan to get around to it! Now, the pastries. Ah, the PASTRIES! Beautiful huge cookies with a great variety, to start. And muffins and danish, and turnovers, oh my! On my first visit, I had a wonderful cherry danish, and this time I opted for a cranberry chocolate chip muffin that turned out to be nothing short of fabulous!! SO fabulous, in fact, that I got half a dozen to go, to share with friends this afternoon. (Although, truth be told, I'm making a good argument to myself to keep them all...!) I got a plain old coffee, although they also do a bunch of other coffee house-type specialty beverages for those who prefer those. The coffee was great, not horribly strong but with plenty of body and flavor. The coffee and muffin made my day. And today, I learned from talking to the owner that they have live bluegrass music on Fridays around 6pm. AND I found out that they also do pies, so, YAY! They're also incredibly accommodating, as she told me that with a few hours notice, they'll create pretty much any custom item you want! Doesn't get any better than that, right? Okay, those of you out there who have read my reviews before know that I can write good reviews for good places. This time, though, I'm going to add this: Cookie Cookie absolutely DESERVES your business! This is a business that gives back in a number of ways, and they deserve your support. Even if you live a bit out of the way, do make a point of coming here. I promise you'll enjoy whatever you get, and you'll be helping these folks to help others.“
“Best place for coffee in all of the South Hills.Reginald’s has a wonderful selection of coffee drinks and beans to purchase for home. My favorite thing about Reginald’s is the staff. Talk about nice and personable. Can’t get this at Starbucks, at least not in my experience. Their little gift shop of trinkets make great gift ideas, too. Felt Like it By Mary makes these fun pierogi pillows that are on my wishlist this X-Mas.Dietary restrictions: Oat milk options.Parking: The parking lost is getting a makeover. Hoping this will free-up more spots. Sometimes we park on the street. No big deal, though.Kid-friendliness: Very patient and friendly with kids.Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs.“
“Genuinely the best breakfast sandwich I’ve ever had. I would’ve taken a better photo if I knew how much I was about to love it. I don’t know how it was made to be so flavorful, but it was absolutely delicious. So many breakfast joints just slap together ingredients onto a bagel/bread and it doesn’t meld together at all. But this was perfect! You could definitely tell it was made with quality ingredients. The cheese and bacon were especially delicious. I added guacamole and that tasted excellent too. Service was great as well. Just be expected to wait a little bit if you come on the weekends. It can get crowded. Will definitely be back soon.“
“The BEST matcha bar in Pittsburgh. They have so many options: Ice cream matcha floats, energizing matcha, matchabucha (yep, kombucha in matcha), and matcha cookies/rice treats. Super unique. They also have local honey, tons of unique finds for your at home matcha needs, and tons of matcha powders. Their staff is awesome! We love everyone that works there and enjoy visiting quite often! Highly, highly recommend!“
“What a gem! So glad we can get Vietnamese egg coffee in Pittsburgh! The milk tea here is also incredible. He uses fresh mangos for the mango matcha and it is SO good. You can taste the freshness and quality in all his drinks. The owner is super friendly. Really hoping this place takes off!“
“I just traveled to Pittsburgh for the first time and coffee is always one of the first things I look for. Sprudge is a generally reliable source for great coffee recommendations in different cities, and I came across Commonplace in their 2015 guide of Pittsburgh cafes. Happy to report that 9 years later Commonplace still has a spot at the top! Really great brewed coffee, delicious espresso drinks, small quality focused menu, and a super friendly and hospitable staff. The location on Buena Vista is also great. Thanks, Commonplace!“
“Very personable, welcoming. Coffee shop establishment with homemade delicious almond Danish, date cookies that go with the specialty coffee made with date paste- to die for. Brothers who operate the place ate very kindKid-friendliness: Open environment, caters more to coffee/tea drinkers. Is pet friendly, I observed doggie treats and water bowlWheelchair accessibility: Doorways are wide enough for a wheelchair“
“I was curious about this place because every time I drive by, they're packed. Today I thought, why not try them out. Well I now will only go to this drive thru as my quick coffee pickup. I'm honestly annoyed at myself for not doing this earlier. I'm so tired of giving money to megacorps like dunkin' and Starbucks.This coffee is really solid and they have a wide selection. The prices are cheaper than Starbucks and the quality is the same, if not better. I will be a regular customer for sure!I now want them to open up a ton more locations throughout the city. I feel like the business plan is amazing, you have a small lot with low infrastructure costs and minimal staff. They were quite ingenious on the placement, making use of the roads turning lane to provide 2 different drive thru directions. No megacorp coffee place has something like this. I just hope that the workers get paid a fair wage and that the business stays profitable, it's hard to compete against coffee giants and I wish them the best!“
“A hidden gem in Morningside!! The owner is a really sweet woman who puts her whole heart into the delicious food and drinks that she makes. Ka-fair is a full service coffee shop with tasty lattes, matcha, smoothies, pastries and breakfast foods. Try the egg toast and the seasonal strawberry matcha when you’re here!“
“I like to find different coffee shops to work at. Everyone here was great! They knew the names of regulars and honestly just were so friendly to everyone. It felt very community oriented. I felt very welcomed and will be back!Wheelchair accessibility: The main entrance is accessible. I don’t know about bathrooms.“
“Redhawk in Sharpsburg is hands down, my favorite coffee shop in Pittsburgh. I have been to many others in the city, and I have not found any other place with such consistently good espresso and friendly staff. The staff go above and beyond to make me and my family feel welcomed every time we visit. They gladly fill my reusable cup with any drink I order, sell us glass jars of milk to take home, and they even have some toys and books for kids to occupy themselves for a bit. While food options are limited, they often have pop ups on weekends. The space can get busy, but if you do get a seat, it is a nice place to relax and people watch over some coffee.“
“This has become my go-to coffee spot when I'm out and about for the day or when I just need a break from work. The atmosphere is chill and comfortable overall, and there a few different areas around the shop where you can sit (including an upstairs loft) depending on your day's vibe.My favorite coffee drinks are a little involved, so they take some time to make. I build that into my expectations, though, and I'm usually not waiting long anyway.At any rate, this is a friendly, welcoming environment and leaving the house and hanging out for a little bit is part of the point. I sometimes come here alone for a to-go coffee, other times my wife and I sit and chat here, and sometimes I meet friends for lunch. It's become a wonderful addition to my favorite community places.Not for nothing, I really enjoy the food, too, which is often an afterthought at coffee shops. The sandwiches are excellent and fresh and the baked goods are dangerously good.“
“Nice place. This is a non-profit place. The owner ties it back into the community. Thank you, Lord, for this opportunity of a humble man who helps others. While sitting there, sipping your coffee and eating a snack. Just listen to the people around you. Talking about life in general. Listen! You will hear how good the Lord blesses all of us on our journey in life. Beautifull stories floating everywhere. Thank you, Lord, for letting me hear them! It's amazing. I thank all of you people for being a part of your journey for a moment. I pray ? that all of us can continue our journey with you, Lord, and with Your blessings. Thank you.“
“This is my absolute FAVORITE coffee shop, I think....ever. Their coffee is such high quality, delicious, & made with so much love. Also, their cold foam never dissolves, so you can enjoy it for hours (unlike most other locations - but drop the names if true). I'm obsessed with their chocolate almond iced coffee, but they also have so many other unique & delicious drinks. It is very clear that the barristers there are passionate and knowledgable about the ingredients they use/drinks & food they make. They also have cashew, sesame, & almond milk. I have even had people stop me & say "where is that coffee from?? it looks fire." IT IS. I also got this cute little art piece from there too!“
“Got a 412 with vanilla syrup and a blueberry muffin. ? Both of the guys behind the counter were super nice. Someone ahead of us forgot their phone, and the Barista went running out and chased down the guy to give it back. That's above and beyond to me. Many people would just stow it for when the person came back. The 412 was delicious, and the muffin he gave me actually wound up being chocolate, but I didn't realize till I got to my car. It was still awesome and fresh. I'm not saying don't go to Starbucks across the street, but local is Thank you!!“
“We stopped here for breakfast during a weekend getaway. The employees were super nice! We got pastries for us and our two daughters, and lattes. Everything was amazing, Especially the cinnamon roll and caramel apple latte! We will definitely be back in the future when visiting.“
“I'm happy this Caffe Mona is here in the strip, because it's got a great vibe that's relaxed (no tvs, low music), and great fresh food. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the savory crepe. I will be going back for sure.Only (small) complaint is that my plate had like 8 chips which felt like an afterthought and not a side.If you've never been, it can be a surprise to see a menu that's basically just crepes (sweet or savory) and omelettes. It seems like they have a burger, but it's not the main thing.“
“This was a mixed bag. There were 8 of us. Parking is sufficient, right off 88, not hard to find. Easy wheelchair access. After ordering, you seat yourself. They don't take reservations. Waitresses bring your drinks & food to the table.You order at a cafeteria counter, but the food is upscaled. They smoke their own meats outside in the parking lot. The menu is varied with brisket & pulled pork as the smoked products served in familiar as well as new formats like a pulled pork taco. Smelled great, but I was determined to try the buttered lobster roll. It was amazing! Small, tender bun stuffed with the meat of 1 lobster all in butter, unfortunately I did bite into a small bit of shell. Hubby tried the lentil, ham, veggie soup. It was a pretty large bowl & really good. His entree was a shaved ribeye sandwich, also excellent, although I thought it could have had more meat. Crispy, salted waffle fries were terrific. Others had burger, small plate salmon dinner, crab cake - everyone was pleased. The desserts were not very good. Creme Brulee & cheesecake were good, cookies & brownies were hard, not good.Overall, I would go back again. Next trip I will be trying those tacos.“
“This is my favorite spots to pick up coffee beans. You can find a variety of beans representing many of the best growing regions throughout South America and Africa. Besides having great some truly quality beans, Allegheny Coffee & Tea also offers a handful of different nitro brews which are absolutely delicious. Staff is polite, knowledgable, and always patiently humor my nerdy inquisitions!“
“The famous coffee shop located on the strip! We stopped in & it was busy! Beautiful coffee shop with the best chill vibes! Staff was friendly. Latte with oat milk was delicious & STRONG! Loved the entire vibe of this coffee shop! The aged brick, natural light & cheerful vibes was such a pleasant atmosphere.“
“I've stopped by this establishment a few times and I fall in love with this place more each and every time. I took my partner here for brunch and it was lovely! Expect a hello when you step inside, they're happy to welcome you in! The atmosphere is calm and I love the vibe. The last time I was here, the walls were much darker and had an unfortunate cave effect (peering in from the sidewalk, it had been very dark inside). The fresh coat of paint does a LOT to brighten up the space. It's so warm and inviting, like a latte! :) The art from local artists really makes the joint feel connected to the local community, and I can really appreciate the support/platform they offer (the pieces are for sale, which is really cool). The staff are patient, kind, and knowledgeable. I will definitely be making an effort to come here more in the future! Thank you!“
“Coffee shop with breakfast and lunch options and a dining area with a super nice atmosphere... fireplace, exposed rafters and well decorated. Order at the counter and they bring it to your table. I had a delicious spinach omelet, which came with today and well seasoned home fries and toast. Owner is friendly and welcoming. Great place for coffee and a meal.“
“Really great space, had the sausage egg and cheese on a croissant, only 4 bucks. It was good. Had the Roz cold brew which is cheesecake coldbrew with red velvet cold foam. It was really tasty. Staff was super friendly. Great varieties of drink and food items from hot food to pastries.“
“This place has become a staple for our family since moving into the South Hills area. The small diner feel where the staff remembers your name and order before you can get the words out...this is it!! I love their Western Omelets and the Cinnamon Raisin Toast. But there's nothing in the menu subpar“
“Great service, food, and atmosphere. Nice light, even on a dreary day. Great use of an older charming building and a definite bright spot in the neighborhood. Delicious satisfying breakfast! Free coffee refills. Old school yet hip. East end hidden gem.“
“I love this place, it’s my favorite local coffee shop on the Northside. The staff are very nice and I love their lattes. Caffeine will sometimes heighten my anxiety but I’ve never felt that after getting coffee here, their lattes are just the right blend for me.“
Donut Shops • $
“It was our very first time visiting the store. We fell positive vibrations and energy once we entered the store. We were amazed of how the shop looked. The staff was very friendly and helpful we ordered a dozen of specialty donuts which were outstanding. We also ordered two doggy donuts for our boxer Rocco. These donuts are not like anything you ever had. I highly recommend.We definitely will come back soon. Keep up the great work!!“
“Dino Cuturic, mate, I think you're the one doing the screeching in the comments. Calm down. Firstly, if you took a basic middle school physics class, you would realize the human voice doesnt have a high enough frequency to shatter a thick water glass (unless u were drinking water in a wine glass), your concerns were useless ;) Oh, and I do understand sarcasm.Anyways Ive deleted my comment because well, I really dont care, I'll let you have your 5 star rating back Tahsin ;), and Google will probably take down your descriptive story telling comments because they're deemed irrelevant. Also just in case you didn't realize Dino, its almost verbal bullying, using the words you used (banshee). I ain't calling you out personally dude, you gotta chill. You're the one screeching here. Also pls dont call me lady, it makes me feel old when I'm not even 21.Anyways, have a good easter, if you celebrate it. Of course I will delete this comment if you take down yours too, I mean Google will eventually take all these comments down anyways since its not relevant to the busines, since I removed the original review and yall are making it personal. If not, guess who's the real vindictive person, as yall say in your comments, (Hint : its not me, because I peacefully took down my comment on the disrespectful service, as I might have over exaggerated it ;) )“
“What a cute place! The barista was super sweet and made the whole place feel very welcoming. She was on top of asking about any diet restrictions or milk substitutes. I got a raspberry matcha iced latte and it was the best thing I've ever had!“
“Indulging in the delightful offerings of our local crepe cafe is an absolute joy! The menu is a culinary delight, boasting a variety of sweet and savory crepes that cater to every palate. Each crepe is a masterpiece – thin, yet perfectly indulgent, with fresh, quality ingredients that burst with flavor. The cozy ambiance adds to the overall experience, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Whether you're craving a classic Nutella-filled treat or a savory masterpiece, this cafe never disappoints. Impeccable service and a passion for crepe craftsmanship make it a must-visit for those who appreciate the art of French-inspired culinary bliss.“
“BEST DONUTS EVER!!! Coffee drinks and sandwiches are also soooo delicious! Prices are phenomenal as well! Favorite place to grab a fast breakfast (or delicious snack lol!)!!!PS-Vanilla iced donut is my personal fave... From anywhere! (BESIDES duck donuts but that's not in the same ballpark in my opinion?)“
“Very homey, solid coffee, and the lady working there was friendly. But the prices are what's going to keep me coming back. With how crazy inflation is, they seem to be 25-30% cheaper than other coffee shops in the area. My wife and I got two large lattes for $10 and the gentleman after us got a mocha and donut for $6. You can't beat that. My new coffee shop“
“I've eaten at Delaney's just one other time and was very happy with the food. I stopped in today for a coffee and treat. I got the almond croissant but was prepared to be disappointed. Too often, when I've purchased almond croissants elsewhere, I find that there isn't enough almond filling.Well, let me just say that I was not disappointed today! The filling went almost to the very end on both sides of the croissant and there was plenty spread all throughout. The croissant is flaky but I wouldn't have cared if it had the density of a bagel. The filling did it for me.Good coffee, service felt a smidgeon slow but it i was in and out in less than 10 minutes so, that was just me. And, the people at the counter were just lovely-- very polite, professional, and pleasant.I would definitely recommend Delaney's for coffee and a treat to start the day. Or for lunch.“
“Super cute coffee shop and lunch spot, the decor is perfection and the vibes are lovely! There was a man playing guitar on this Saturday morning and it was so pleasant and not too loud. The food looked amazing but we only got coffee and damn if it wasn’t one of the worst lattes I’ve ever had in my life. Just watered down, stale tasting, flavoring was off… we couldn’t even finish half like they were just disgusting. I don’t know how they are making them but it actually tasted like lukewarm dirty water to the point where my stomach was upset like it didn’t even taste like there was any coffee in it? But yeah super cute inside though!“
“Visited while on vacation to see my boyfriend’s family. Coffee - IMMACULATE! Service - DIVINE! We had a great time and really loved the vibe ? We also visited the oddities shop down the way owned by the same person as the coffee shop.P.S. if you were wondering about the sign in the woman’s restroom…I figured it out. Being a 2010’s scene kid came in handy lolIt says:WE’VE BEEN TRYING TO REACH YOU ABOUT YOUR CAR’S EXTENDED WARRANTY“
“Will absolutely make multiple return visits! This place is such a hidden gem, and much more spacious inside than it appears from the street. Great coffee and food, and MUCH more affordable than expected. I parked in one of the dedicated for spots for free, then got a 12oz drip coffee with a delicious breakfast sandwich, all for less than $6. Can't wait to try out more on their menu! To top it off, the WiFi is strong for working or studying, and there are clean restrooms on-site. Happy I discovered this place!Parking: A few free spots are located next to the shop. Street parking is free in the permit parking zones according to the hours on the signs. Otherwise, paid parking can be found in the area.“
“My partner has raved about their coffee for a while and I finally got to try a latte from them today and it’s hands down the best I’ve had in Pittsburgh. Great espresso flavor, not overly sweetened syrup, and overall very well made. My new go to spot for sure!“
“This place is absolutely amazing!!!! I came here with a large party of 10 and EVERYONE’s food was to die for. Some people got something sweet, some did savory….and they were all fantastic. LOVED that they had multiple Benedict’s to choose from. Service was also fantastic! 100000/10 would recommend.“
“My first time in Pittsburgh and was brought to this awesome little spot on Butler St. Great selection of new and vintage tables which made for a fun hang on a rainy afternoon. You can grab a coffee or BYOB and make the rounds on some well maintained tables.“
“Very kind staff (who have remembered my usual order after only having been to this location a few times!), really good food, excellent coffee.Get the chicken and grueyere crepe, it comes with the best salad vinaigrette I've ever had, and I jones for it every time.Love the new bloomfield spot, I loved the one in Lawrenceville but this feels more homey while also more spaced out.Vegetarian options: Plenty of non meat options. Not sure about dairy free (vegan) but lots of good savory and sweet crepes.Parking: Can park paid on liberty Ave or park on one of the residential streets for free. I've never had an issue finding parking.Kid-friendliness: My kid loves the sweet crepes, especially the Nutella with banana and strawberry.“
“We were passing through town and searched for coffee shops with roasters and came across this cool store. Love that they’ve chosen to focus on birds and then assign different species to different coffees - all “bird friendly”. We got a decaf latte and a regular americano to go plus a couple of bags - their one decaf (a Peruvian) and a Colombian that I found to be on the darker side of medium and ok for lattes. Next time we’re through town I’ll want to try something lighter roast. Their cafe had nice seating areas and they had typical coffee store merch. Do recommend.“
“The comfortable atmosphere and friendly interaction keeps me a frequent customer. Today I was offered a tea that was not on the menu. Women of Valor, an amazing blueberry and lemon tea that embodies the strength and delicacies of those it represents. It was delicious... and I am grateful. Thank “
“I'm so happy to live within walking distance of such a nice coffee shop! They have lots of really great options for coffee, food, and pastries. The cinnamon rolls are great, the breakfast sandwich is the perfect weekend treat, and their rotating seasonal drinks always hit it out of the park. Plus the mayan mocha is a must.“
“This is a good small coffee shop with quality drinks and food (loved the hummus breakfast wrap) and a upstairs seating area that is good for business meetings or social occasions. I recommend this as a better spot than the local Starbucks and the staff are very friendly.“
“What a stunnnnnnning coffee shop/cafe!!! Loved the historic building, stunning natural light soaked lounge area, plants & allll the vibes! Seriously, beautiful! We stopped in for an oat milk latte and it was out of this work! Perfectly frothed, creamy & strong espresso! So happy we stopped in here! It was such a vibe & the best coffee! ☕️“
“Cute cafe in Lawrenceville, has lots of tables and natural lighting making it a great place to study and do work. Street parking is also easy to find. Service is great. The first time I went, I thought the matcha was a bit bland. However, another friend recommended me to get it with the vanilla flavor and I enjoyed the drink a lot more. Can't say it's the best matcha ever but it's pretty good. I'd come back anyways just for the nice study environment.“
“My first visit to Pigeon Café in Pittsburgh was filled with pleasant surprises. Despite the initial wait due to the café's cozy policy of allowing only five patrons in at a time, the experience inside was worth the brief ten-minute line. The highlight was definitely the food: my bagel with fig and honey schmear was an absolute delight, striking the perfect balance between sweet and savory. Not to be overlooked, the snickerdoodle soft cookie was a standout treat, making my visit memorable. Pigeon Café delivers great food in a charming, intimate setting.“
“Coffee is amazing! Everyone is very nice. I only gave 4 starts because of the ice. It’s little small pieces of ice, from a cooler that melts instantly. I would love for them to serve big pieces of ice. So my ice coffee can stay cold, & not taste like water :/“
