“Love this place!
Got a 9:30 reservation (2 weeks before for a Friday night) had the pickled (forget specifically which white fish)
It was unexpectedly good.
I ordered it bc I figured it made sense to try a dish that was/is directly in line with what the restaurant bills itself as. (Scandanavian + Fish) Was not disappointed, would absolutely order again. Great friendly waitress who advised the rye noodle dish. So good. Food so good I didn’t bother to take photos.“

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

“Good place for an early morning coffee / espresso... only place if you're up quite early but still good. Great service, good atmosphere, good to hang out or grab a cup to go. Each cup a reason to not ever go to Starbuck's again, at least if you're in the area. My kids can vouch for the pastries too.“

“Had a pourover from one of the most exquisite menu selections I’ve ever seen in a coffee shop. I was also given an aperitif cup of delicious cofermented coffee before my order finished. Truly amazing. Wish I lived in Pittsburgh so I could go here every day. Also, top notch service - give this man a raise!“

“Best customer service and lattes!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Stumbled here by chance and was incredibly impressed. The decor and scents are pleasant and welcoming and the gentlemen was kind and efficient. There was one other couple in the building so it was not crowded. I ordered an Iced Honey Oat Latte and my fiance ordered a hot Carmel latte. Both were delicious and flavorful. The sizes were also appropriate for the prices. I will return again soon.“

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

“If I lived here this place would be a constant meal out … I’ve been a vegetarian since 1981 and it’s always a struggle to find a good sandwich place, this place just rocks! the clientele brings me joy, the Banh Mi sandwich was so amazing and the Golden milk hit the spot!“

“This is by far the one of the best coffee shops in the area. The drinks are great but the service is amazing. Andrea and John are always happy to see everyone. You feel like a friend everytime you walk in. Cannot get enough. Oh and they do punch cards!!“

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

“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.“

“I was working in the area and decided to stop into Black Canary for a coffee. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed. The shop was extremely clean, professional, and had the feel of a proper, well-run coffee shop. Even the restroom was clean as a whistle.

The gentleman behind the counter was extremely professional, welcoming, and polite. I ordered two vanilla lattes, and they were absolutely delicious.

Great atmosphere, excellent service, and even better coffee. I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in the area. Thanks for a great experience!“

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

“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!“

“Great quality drinks, syrups and products AND EVEN BETTER are the people! We absolutely love this spot ♥️“

“Step off the busy streets of Pittsburgh and into Colombino… A quiet friendly spot guaranteed to satisfy your cravings. The arepas are to die for, the empanadas hot and fresh. If you’re thirsty the agua panela is refreshing. I visit here often and love the atmosphere.“

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

“Very nice vibes to hang out and work/study or do something like journal or read. Depending on the day, the initial wait can take a long time but even when it’s very crowded, you can usually find a seat! The coffee is very good and they have several different food options.“

“Great service and delicious coffee!“

“I truly go out of my way just to stop here. Carly and Jen are my Chillin besties and I adore them so much. Amazing drinks and good food.“

“I mean seriously….How can you not LOVE BIDDLES ESCAPE! That’s exactly what it is! You escape into a bubble of energy from around the world! Your greeted with smiles everywhere…..The baristas are so sweet and fun!!! I go in for my London Fog….read or journal for a bit….meet lots of nice people…it’s like a little escape from the crazy world!!! I fly all over the world and there is absolutely no place like Biddles!!!!!! (I bring my glass mug). 🫶🏼💗“

“My fiancé and I were visiting Pittsburgh for a concert and just had to stop by this amazing café. We got to know the owner and learned about how he took this restaurant from a food truck to brick and mortar with his exceptional recipes.

Highly recommend The Force latte, which blends Biscoff & Nutella! The Gotham Gobbler was hands down the best bagel sandwich I’ve had in a while.

Will be stopping by whether we’re in town.“

“Great little coffee shop. Stopped in for a quick latte and cortado, both were well-made. Quick 4-min walk from the Comfort Inn and Suites. I would have loved to try one of the breakfast burritos, but had just eaten. They sounded delicious, though!“

“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!“

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

“Wonderful little privately owned coffee shop! Coffee is great and they have all the different types available. There’s some seating indoors and outdoors but it’s very limited. It’s more of a “get your coffee and GO” type of place. I would recommend this little coffee shop!“

“Here, you can get farm to cup coffee. The owner’s dad actually runs the farm in Columbia where they source their beans and roast them locally around Pittsburgh. The staff is so kind and friendly and they brew amazing coffee that is about as fresh as you can get unless you are in a growing region of the world. The shop is small and simple but clean and polished with a great vibe.

Got a cappuccino and it was top notch. They know what they are doing with coffee here. Definitely worth going out of your way for this one.“

“Aroma Joe’s Drive Thru on Golden Mile Highway is the best coffee spot in the Plum and Pittsburgh area. The coffee is always good, the service is quick, and the staff is always friendly, which makes it an easy stop any time of day.

I love that they have more than just coffee too. Their breakfast options, pretzels, iced drinks, and energy drinks make it a perfect drive-thru spot when you want something fast but still really good. Everything I’ve had has been fresh, flavorful, and consistent.

If you’re near Plum, Monroeville, Murrysville, Penn Hills, Oakmont, or anywhere around Pittsburgh and need a great local coffee drive thru, Aroma Joe’s is definitely worth stopping at. Great drinks, great service, and a menu that always hits.“

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

“Coffee is great, staff is great, birds are great. 11/10“

“Pretty solid coffee shop with good quality beverages! Can’t go wrong with anything that they have to offer. Significantly better than nearby chain dumps… as if in question…

Awesome atmosphere! Great employees! Good value!“

“biscuits and gravy slaps, their burritos slap, they have a wild amount of drink options. The dining room is typically always clean, they do get packed sometimes because of how good they can be. They worked very hard to get where they are in the industry here in the 719. make sure to support your local businesses no matter what! This place had dreams of being a restraunt and made it happen!“

“Fresh delicious food. And friendly staff“

“Best macarons we’ve ever had, and by far our favorite in Pittsburgh. We took one of their classes today, too, and it was a ton of fun.“

“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!!“

“Great service and delicious coffee!“

“Ask them "what's good?" You'll be glad you did. The cold brew is "off the hook" today.“

“Need a review from a bloke who dislikes coffee? Yo. I only drink it for that high-octane crazy fuel/road warrior feeling so I can sift through paperwork. Which is why your caramel macchiato struck me as anomalous. I’d buy this for the flavor alone, though the espresso boost sells itself as well. Thanks for having a truck, we’re all really tired here.“

“Chai tea is the best I’ve ever had! Nice conversations with the man serving us, enjoyed the whole experience :)“
