Arriviste Coffee Roasters — Shadyside

Coffee is mid, and the owner is worse. Pittsburgh has so many vibrant small businesses where you can better spend your money than here.

Ordered Pittsburgh Smog To-go. Received a drink without any milk foam and only a little over half cup, almost looking like it had been drank by someone else. The drink lacked of flavor too.

Was visiting Pittsburgh and wanted to pick up a bag of beans. Paid $30 for 12oz beans, a little pricey but totally fine. Wasn't offered a free coffee with purchase, but that's okay, not entitled that either. But I received super brief and impersonal (read: lack of) service with my purchase, so not likely to return on my next visit.

Great little coffee shop if you want a bit pricier but good quality drink! The Ube Latte is a stand out, and they also have some assorted pastries from Pigeon which are always yummy.

The barista was very friendly, there’s not a lot of seating but the ambiance was really nice to do some work or read. Overall a nice place to stop by especially for the Ube Latte!

I am pretty sure this is the only coffee shop in a three-mile radius of me that actually offers pour-overs. Thank you for existing.

Beautiful shop with thoughtfully roasted beans and perfectly balanced drinks. I forgot the name of the barista that served me but she was kind and welcoming. You can taste the care in every cup. Easily one of the best specialty coffee experiences in town.

Good place to grab a coffee or tea with a great cozy atmosphere. For people looking to study or do some computer work please note that they don’t have outlets.

I’ve been here twice. The first time I went the baristas were incredibly nice. The second time, there was a man behind the counter who was pretty passive aggressive which rubs me the wrong way. The coffee is OK but pretty expensive. The cold brew tastes burnt but the ube latte was delicious. There’s not a lot of seating but it’s good if you just wanna read a book.

bad vibes made the space feel spiritually-normative and non-inclusive of sage tea drinking coven

Place is okay. For my needs it fell short. I want a cup of coffee to enjoy while the ambience adds to it and develops culture. This place is more or less just scenic. The coffee lacked some of the character that can make a place memorable. It seemed as though it was a place to study with an entry fee of a cup of coffee. Place was reletively new when I visited. Could use some culture or element of draw. Great place to study and thats about it.

Their “Green Card Holder” drink with a joke about ICE in the description is extremely stupid. With what’s going on with ICE and deportation, you thought this was a good idea? Weird.

**Editing my review because as of 7/25, that specialty drink is gone from the menu

We love Kim’s shop, he roasts amazing coffee, offers great treats from local bakers, and supports local artists. So glad he’s a part of our community. We’ll keep coming back!

Cassy is the best! A great atmosphere and love that they are giving back with their green card holder drink. The art is always interesting. Best tea at a coffee shop!
