Really great coffee and pastries! They’re always pretty busy (since they’re so good!), so haven’t gotten the chance to get food yet, but I can vouch for their baked goods. The ginger and blackberry scone is so good, the biscuits are solid, and pretty much everything else is delicious, can’t go wrong with anything here!
Plus, the cafe is very cute with indoor and outdoor seating, great place to read, do work, or chat, one of my favorite cafes!

I’ve spent a lot of time in NYC drinking some of the best coffee in the world. Georgie’s has raised the bar in Pittsburgh for how a cup should taste.

Cute little cafe here in Shadyside. The food is incredible although it can get a little busy and loud! Service was ok! A little pricey considering the portions but delicious nevertheless.

Georgie’s has been one of the best parts of moving to Shadyside! They offer an inviting atmosphere, delicious food and exceptional service. Their breakfast sandwich and biscuits are my personal favorites!
I had an event this past weekend I planned around specifically having Georgie’s food. I ordered 100 mini toasts, multiple pastry trays and drinks. Beth was wonderful to work with, she answered my dozens of questions promptly and offered insights to ensure I had everything I needed. Day of, Beth and Georgie swiftly plated all the food on their beautiful rental platters/tiers (which was a huge help with a short set up window). All the guests were blown away by how beautiful and tasty the food was, nearly all of it was gone! I will continue to be a regular customer and use them for future events. Couldn’t recommend more.

First off let’s start with the good. The food and coffee were great, the banana bread and carrot cake loaf were moist and flavorful, the spinach puff pastry was delicious, even at room temperature. The cafe was clean, natural light filled the space and it was air conditioned. The decor was creative but not overwhelming or cluttered, I especially like the use of the whisks as pendant lamps around the bar. The blue and white with yellow accents was calming a pleasing to eye. Unfortunately, some of the staff lack tact and one was outright rude. As someone who has managed two cafes, currently works as a kitchen manager and takes pride in good work ethic and quality customer service I would hope that my team would be more tactful in how they treat our customers and speak to other members of staff while still in ear shot of customers.
My husband and I arrived about 30 mins to close and we saw the very clear signage that the kitchen closed at two. It was hot outside and we wanted a quick refresher before we had to leave town at 3, so them closing soon wasn’t a big deal for us. When we ordered our food the cashier, who was wearing a white “USAIR” t-shirt and a small mustache, informed us that it would be packaged to-go since they are closing in 30, which was fine but it felt like they really just didn’t want us there. Personally I would have asked politely if it was ok to make our simple order to-go since they were closing soon, but that’s just me. My husband gave them a 20% tip and we sat down and waited for our food and coffee. The barista, who was wearing an alien shirt and had sandy blonde hair, was super nice and I thanked them for our coffees. After we got our order we were each able to enjoy a pastry and boxed up the rest so that we would be ready to head out shortly. I had been watching the clock so we didn’t stay past close. At 2:50 an employee with a mullet and spiral eye makeup came out on the floor and announced that they were closing in 10 mins in a tone that clearly was saying “GTFO we don’t want you here.” There were only 3 tables including ours and everyone looked like they were already wrapping up, so this seemed unnecessary. The real kicker was that as soon as they were done with the announcement they went directly to the cashier and began complaining loudly about the customers in the cafe.
I get it sometimes we need to vent but the entire coffee bar is open air and people can hear what you’re saying, none of the customers had been rude or anything and after they made the announcement everyone was packing up to leave. I hope that management sees this and helps in training their staff to do better. Customer service is not for everyone and I know we all have bad days, but it was a Saturday afternoon and hot outside, there’s no need to be rude to people. I would come back again and change my review if things have improved but I may wait 6 months in hopes that a more helpful and friendlier staff will be there.

A great place to just sit down and de-stress, especially in the spring/fall when the outdoor heaters are on (super cozy) as the roads are very quiet. It's nice to have a coffeeshop where everything is actually served on proper plates with saucers and stuff, it's definitely a luxury but the vibes are great.
The interior is small and can get a bit noisy but there is still plenty of room to work on your laptop or sit with a group of up to 5 at the table right near the entrance.

Georgies is great if you come in on a weekday to chat with your friends. The food is tasty but there’s not a lot for the price. Location is beautiful but often it’s crowded and you have other people standing over you waiting for you to finish your food.

I found that the food was a little disappointing considering the price. The food was pretty cold along with hard potatoes. I was okay with paying a high price but not for hard potatoes. The employees were very nice though.
It is a nice, quaint experience.
