“I was there today with a friend and my 2 year old. The staff were friendly and explained the menu items I was unfamiliar with. It was a great atmosphere and had plenty of seating. The food was delicious and they even had a play area which kept my toddler entertained while my friend and I caught “
“It's a really cute coffee shop. Their coffee and lattes are delicious. They have some homemade syrups for lattes. There are also different kinds of biscotti. We were visiting Oakmont and looked it so much we decided to go here every morning.“
“I ABSOLUTELY LOOOVEEE THIS PLACE! Perfect place if your looking to grab a great cup of coffee and have a peaceful atmosphere and is also a perfect place to utilize for catering! I have utilized Hazelwood Café for multiple events and they have been AMAZING to work with every time! Great prices, quality product, great presentation...literally they embody what you would desire from a professional catering company. Looking forward to utilizing them again in the near future!“
“My dine-in experience at this cute café was very good. It is moderately priced, and they are friendly, fast and efficient! We came with a pretty large group of 10 and they were able to find seating for all of us. I would definitely recommend coming with a smaller group of four or less just because the atmosphere is very quaint and cozy. The staff was amazing and I definitely recommend!“
“If you were going on a coffee shop tour across America, and could only stop at one Pittsburgh area coffee shop I'd choose this one. If you don't order food, you miss the full experience, though. The outside setting is like walking on a model train board, which is very quaint.“
“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!“
“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!“
“Really really great customer service, and the açaí is equally as amazing! I think it’s the owner, didn’t catch his name (taller man with glasses)…he was so incredible. They are so quick and efficient and just so personable. 10/10 ALWAYS“
“I love this place, always. It’s the perfect spot to grab a quick breakfast roll or pepperoni roll. Love the soups and pastries. They’re all so good. Every employee I ever encountered with there has been amazing. I really love Gina. I’ve had almost every single person in there I believe, and I just want to say thank you for the great service today.I had Ashley super nice and attentive, and when leaving, she prayed over me and I prayed over her. This place ♥️Happy Saturday everyone go get your a thumbprint and a latte.“
“The coffee is absolutely delicious as are the various snacks they provide like cookies and muffins. The owner is very knowledgeable and helpful for suggestions on what you'd like. I don't drink coffee much and she matched me to the perfect type for me. The store is a cute hole in the wall you won't regret going too. Love it!“
“Had a wonderful experience purchasing a record online from Long Play Café. Brian reached out to me personally to ensure the package was sent to the correct address and provided prompt service and a tracking number. I'll be sure to pop into the shop in person if I'm ever in the area!“
“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!“
“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“
“My husband and I have been here a couple times and the drinks are delicious and very well made! I was tired of going places where the taste is off or inconsistent from the one time you go to the next, but they make their drinks spot on! And their baked goods are amazing. This is my hubby and i's new coffee location!“
“EVERY !! TIME that we got the strip -we stop here for one of their coffees / lattes and GET some old favorites and try a new one.Parking: PARK IN THE $15 LOT ON THE CORNER OF THE NEXT BLOCK DOWN IF THERES NO STREET PARKING . ITS ONLY A HUNDRED FEET AWAY AND CENTRALLY LOCATED TO MANY OF THE STORES.“
“Very cozy place to hang out and enjoy some delicious coffee. It is my second visit to this location, and I'm in love. Very clean and organized.So far, I've tried the coconut iced latte and the peanut butter flavor as well. Both were with oat milk by choice. The coconut taste was a pleasant surprise.I enjoy sitting in the shop enjoying my coffee over a game of checkers.Highly recommend for anyone looking to support small businesses.“
“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.“
“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.“
“7/10! Ive been here 2 different times and each time the customer service was so so. They did not seem interested in helping you/giving suggestions and just weren’t as friendly as I would expect a local coffee shop to be? I think they are in the process of remodeling so the inside of the shop is mostly blocked off from use except for 2 tables. The first time I was there they had the old bank vault open with the lights on (really cool), but the second time I was there it was all shut off (pretty bummed as I was trying to show someone new the coffee shop).I’ve had a couple different lattes and all were pretty good. Nothing extraordinary. Their sausage egg and cheese breakfast rolls are AMAZING and I would come back just to eat these every day lol“
“This is honestly one of my favorite places to go for my morning coffee and little treat before work. They staff are so kind, the food is delicious, and their iced lattes are always good.The environment there is super relaxed, and I love talking to the regulars that go (and petting their dogs as well).Absolutely would recommend this place to everyone.“
“My favorite pittsburgh coffee shop! Great prices for great coffee and friendly service. They are always quick with my order and helpful with recommending new options to try when I cannot decide. Highly recommend stopping here over any other coffee shop when on Walnut street!“
“What a fantastic little gem! Food was real and fresh, coffee was quite tasty, and they seem to have a philosophy of community to enrich their area (allowing people to use space, etc). One note is that some of the pricing doesn't make sense. Getting a full breakfast is just $2 more than getting just avacado toast. A small coffee is $1.50 (best coffee deal in Pittsburgh!! ), a large is like $3.50.“
“The most efficient and lovely coffee shop on the corner! A great location, it is only a minute away from the great City of Asylum bookstore, the Alphabet city restaurant and the beautiful Aviary across the street. The interior design was simple, but really heartwarming and nice (exposed bricks, hardwood, SPOTLESS and tall windows). We visited them twice in the two days we stayed in Pittsburgh and had amazing Matcha and lattes. The baristas were really talented and understanding, they didn't add too much syrup to my coffee just like I asked and their breakfast egg sausage and bagel was so amazing I had to go back and get one more. I highly recommend this location!!Dietary restrictions: They are ery Careful about asking you about any allergens that might exist in their food, especially with milk types.Parking: The ally behind the coffee shop and next to it have free parking on the weekends!“
“Real-In house made-not from a bag mix or freezer-Donuts-I called to ask if they make the donuts with an industrial mix or not(most places do so ask before you pay for something like that)-they dont-these are actual home made in house donuts. Amy got the call-honestly i would have gone in and bought whatever they were selling. Shes fantastic and pretty good with a piping bag too. Get in early, order ahead.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“Visited Pittsburgh after completing the GAP trail. On our way out we wanted something quick, coffee, food and with a cool atmosphere. This place had it all! We got the turkey club sandwich, pesto chicken sandwich and strawberry salad and a white mocha and chai latte with vanilla all were delicious. If we lived here we would be regulars. Also love the community vibe.“

“Been going to both locations for years. Best coffee ever! I drive out of my way for their coffee. It’s so good. I’ve never had anything from any other coffee shop as good as theirs! And the coffee bean is the cutest touch! I’ll always be back!“
“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.“
“Food and mixed coffee beverages good. Straight up coffee...bad. I gotta support local and they do get their beans roasted locally ...sadly they are from Nicholas where everything tastes either like hazelnut or burnt Panera coffee. Not a place for black coffee connoisseurs but definitely a nice place for an iced tea, lunch, or excellent latte.“

“We decided to walk through the Southside down to the Highline to see what's new. We checked out the Burgers menu and then continued to De fer @ The Highline to take the chill off. Arriving around 11am, it was quiet with just the right music buzz and volume for a pleasant stay. The barrista was pleasant and set to making our cappuccinos like a real coffee shop. They were beautifully presented and delicious. The shop has a french motif but opens to a modern industrial lobby with comfy chairs, where it seems a number of small work meetings were taking place. The lobby is large, and the furniture is well spaced for privacy. The lobby has charging available for electronics. As a bonus, if you are reducing your carbon footprint, the parking garage has vehicle charging stations. We left De fer for a walk on the trail as noon approached, and the shop got busier with people coming in for snacks, salads, and cold drinks.“
“Good drinks and good vibes. Margaux is a nice addition to the East Liberty area! I got a matcha latte and it was delicious. My husband got a draft beer. Not sure why they put it in a wine glass but it made him feel fancy. The place is filled plants and beautiful modern artwork.“
“This place is very much worth the 20 min drive outside the city. You’re always greeted by the friendly staff as soon as you walk in. They have so many different options to choose from. The different coffee/smoothie drink options they offer are awesome. The best breakfast sandwich anyway you like them. There isn’t space for dining in but it is “Curbside on the Run” it doesn’t take away from the awesome customer service, atmosphere and quality of food. I tell everyone about this place!“
“I spend a lot of time in New York City and regularly stash bagels from my favorite spot there in my luggage to bring home. Talking to a local NYC transplant friend recently about few Pittsburgh bagels measure up, she asked if I had tried Pigeon. She said anytime she goes, she brings home a dozen to freeze. I knew she would not steer me wrong so, before the New Year's Day holiday, I decided to set out to fill my freezer with some really good bagels.Pigeon is a tiny spot with a few parking spots for patrons, but you will most likely find street parking around the corner. You will then wait in a short line until it's your turn to go in, as they allow five patrons in the small shop at once. The staff is so friendly, helpful and efficient. There are only about a handful of bagel types, schmears and sandwiches, so your choices should be quick. I got half a dozen to take home, a container of fig and honey cream cheese that sounded absolutely dreamy, and could not pass up a sandwich with vegan carrot lox to try. They even have a herb tofu schmear. Amazing!!The garlic and sea salt bagel combines two of my favorite bagel flavors and is absolutely delicious. Just the right amount of crunch and chewiness; this is a true NY style bagel. My vegan carrot lox, which came with red onions and capers as well, was such a treat. I've never had actual lox since I've been a vegetarian since age 5, but this had a rich savory, smoky taste, and it was clear how much thought and care had been put into the ingredients. I was so impressed with this offering, both in the fact that it existed at all and in its execution.I also got a delicious cold brew, and the first of my half dozen bagels at home was so delicious with the slightly sweet, creamy, fig-dotted cream cheese. I'm guessing you can't go wrong with anything you order here. I am sure I will be back far too often than is good for my waistline. Wonderful.“
“I love this place so much! Organic, fair trade, and the talented Baristas make the best lattes. The Chai is a must have, as it is actually real ground spices, not a concentrate. They have some grab and go food options that are delicious, but Ive also stopped in for waffles on the weekend. So yummy!“
“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.“
Ice Cream Shop •
“This is a fantastic location with some very kind staff. Delicious ice cream prepared quickly and served compassionately. Not many better ice cream places around. Churn can have higher prices than other ice cream places, but for the quality of ice cream, it is worth it.“
“My husband and I love checking out coffee shops on the weekends. This place was super cute inside with an upstairs loft that would be fantastic to setup and work remotely from. We were there on a Saturday morning around 10:30 and it was fairly busy but not too noisy. My husband had an espresso and I had a cappuccino, we thought they were both above average. The food was decent. It seems like they get their food from a couple of different local places. Overall we really just loved the vibe in here.“
“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?)“
“The food is really good!! There are gluten-free options for the French toast and regular sandwiches!! They also have vegan and dairy free options. It gets busy in the morning tooDietary restrictions: Dairy free, vegan, gluten free options & mixed“
“We absolutely loved our vegan wedding cake from The Butterwood Bake Consortium for our Summer 2023 wedding. The team at Butterwood Bake Consortium was kind and communicative. Our two-tiered orange olive oil cake with vanilla semi-naked buttercream was so delicious and the florals were the perfect touch for our wedding theme! I highly recommend for all your wedding cake needs!!!“
“I really enjoyed the cherry mocha I had here yesterday. The barista was kind and gave me time to look over the menu as it was my first time there. Really cute environment and it felt welcoming.Parking: Street parking right out front is nice“
“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“
“I have never been here for the beer, but I love it as a coffee shop. It's always quiet, beautiful, lots of plants, great service, and good coffee from people who care about what they're doing. The fireplace is a particularly nice touch with the cold weather.I've been a number of times and will keep going!“
“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“
“You can eat at the breakfast bar. But it's not necessarily a specialty coffee shop. It's more a corner convenience store with fresh donuts, coffee, and hot food made to order. It's easy to pass if you don't know what you are looking for. Amazing customer service and donuts.Kid-friendliness: My kiddos love their drink, ice cream, candy and snack selection. Not to mention the donuts!“
“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!“
“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.“
“What a charming little shop! So much character in the space - a collected, homey feeling, with interesting fixtures, warm colors, and lots of sunlight. I ordered an americano and raspberry turnover and both were delightful! I love that they were served in real dishes instead of paper or plastic. The service was prompt and attentive! The seating is quaint but a little uncomfortable. Will definitely return next time I'm in the neighborhood.“
