I'm quite positive there's magic in the air and in the coffee.My friends know I think Constellation is the best coffee shop in Pittsburgh so I figured I might as well offer my opinion to the larger public, too.The baristas are dialed tf in, whether you want an espresso, pour over, or drip (their menu includes more, I'm just naming a few). More of a traditionalist? You'll be impressed with a carefully crafted cup of coffee. Or maybe you're more adventurous? They'll have something brewing that will delightfully surprise your taste buds. If you're interested in the notes in your coffee or the processing techniques, you'll especially enjoy this place. The baristas are highly knowledgeable and willing to share their their knowledge.The environment here is calming, so I wouldn't recommend coming in with a boisterous crew. Just bring peaceful energy and add it to the collective.Oh! And their garden beside the shop is lovely. A perfect spot to slow down, sip your espresso in the sun, and listen to the birds sing.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Constellation, and I must say, it was an absolute delight from start to finish. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that instantly made me feel right at home.The decor was charming and cozy, with comfortable seating options and just the right amount of ambient lighting to create a relaxed ambiance. It's the kind of place where you can easily lose track of time while enjoying your coffee.Speaking of coffee, let me tell you, they serve up some of the best brews in town. The aroma alone was enough to make my mouth water, and the taste certainly did not disappoint. Whether you're a fan of classic espresso drinks or prefer something a bit more adventurous, their menu has something for everyone. Plus, the baristas clearly take pride in their craft, as each drink was expertly prepared and beautifully presented.But the excellence doesn't stop there. The customer service is top-notch. The staff members were friendly, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure that every customer had a positive experience. Whether you're a regular or a first-time visitor, you're made to feel like part of the family from the moment you walk in.And let's not forget about the delicious pastries and snacks they offer. The selection is always fresh and varied, providing the perfect accompaniment to your coffee of choice. I particularly enjoyed lemon poppy seed scone which paired perfectly with my latte.Overall, my experience at Constellation was nothing short of exceptional. From the inviting atmosphere to the outstanding coffee and friendly service, it's clear that this coffee shop truly cares about providing a memorable experience for its customers. I will definitely be returning soon, and I highly recommend that you do the same.

I ordered an iced vanilla latte with oat milk and it really was Notttt good. So bitter, no flavor, and a weird after taste for a long time. I'm not sure how their other drinks or food compare, but this was Not great and I do Not recommend. Cute inside and nice people

Amazing coffee and such nice folks! They even let us pop in a bit early when we came by before they were open. Delicious, strong lattes and really cool merch! Will definitely be back next time I’m in Pittsburgh.

By far the best coffee in Pittsburgh, or that I've had anywhere for that matter. They should have 5 stars.

Coffee is fine but barista was very rude and condescending. I just asked a question about the latte and his response was extremely mean and awkward. Like it is just coffee and that is your job so i’m confused on the attitude. Do not recommend ??

I love this coffee shop! If you’d like to enjoy delicious coffee, tea, cappuccino, pour over, etc then try constellation! They have a patio or a chill indoor area, great treats and the best coffee in Pittsburgh imo.

Grabbed a quick cup of coffee while I was in the area running errands, but it was overpriced for such a small cup that wasn't even filled. I ordered a maple spice latte, and it didn't even taste of maple spice in anyway, just sort of a plain latte. I've never gotten anything here before and probably won't again.
Honestly surprised by the high reviews. Bland coffee almost as good as gas station coffee. Only sugar no other sweetener options, milk or oat milk only, two options for flavoring and neither is sugar free. Considering not cheap coffee more should be offered. I tossed it and found another coffee barista. Service was ok, she was cordial.

Really great coffee! The moment you walked in you knew it was going to be good. The barista really took care in making our drinks and the espresso in the latte was really well curated. Would for sure recommend, vibes were quiet and relaxed.

If you want a great cappuccino, pour over, tea or cold brew etc- this is your spot! I've tried tons and tons of coffee shops in Pittsburgh and surrounding areas, Constellation is the best imo. Give it a try. Nice spot to chill, have a delicious coffee and enjoy the patio, five stars.
