50 Best Cafes in Pittsburgh

“Service and food were awesome!“

“Our first visit, we thoroughly enjoyed the Pumpkin Brunch! The Apple Cider Mimosas were petfect, the pumpkin French Toast was amazing, and the Chili Egg Puffs were delicious! Looking forward to trying the regular dinner menu in this creative café soon!“

“Biscuits are fantastic and next time I’m getting mine with jam.“

“Very friendly! Iced latte was made quickly and tasted great! Definitely a great local option!“

“I highly recommend Echt Coffeehouse as a special gift you can give yourself and share with friends and family. Every detail of the Echt experience is worthy of comment, but it is best to just check it out and see how the unique space and atmosphere speaks to you. Oh, and the food and drinks are amazing! Thanks to everyone at Echt Coffeehouse for all your positivity and “echt.”“

“Simple yet insanely good flavor, I couldn't get enough. The stuffed french toast was amazing, and the homefries were indescribably good. Friendly staff and clean dining area. Will definitely be coming back soon!“

“I’ve gotten the winter melon drink and it was really good! It tasted a lot like the trick cereal which reminds me a lot of my childhood. The guy that was making the drinks worked so hard, however I do wish that there were more workers especially so that more orders could go out to the customers. My friends and I were there yesterday and we did witness people leaving because they did not want to wait. I do respect the hustle but having a team would be better and to keep business going.“

“Great sandwiches and bakery items“

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

“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!“

“Nice, personal service and fantastic food!!“

“Everyone here was so nice and kind! They all had smiles on their face! They were all very helpful to their customers! And they truly cared if you enjoyed your coffee and purchase! They have a variety of selections from sandwiches to soup to meals to even sweet treats! Just overall great atmosphere and place to try!“

“We love Ka-Fair. The staff are wonderful, and always quick to accommodate any special requests. And the food is wonderful. (We are OBSESSED with the crepe cake!) It’s such a unique spot, and we’re glad to have it within walking distance.“

“That you go! Lots of delicious food, the selection of beans is fantastic and they are sold in bulk weight. The store is immaculate, and one of my favorite things is the double door system at the entrance which deters insects, varmints, and unsanitary conditions that come along with those. Oh, you can also watch the pitas being made through the glass wall as they come off the conveyor and get ready to come to your house.“

“Everything there was delicious! Service was welcoming and engaging! Great experience!“

“Fun venue for our one-acts! Yummy guacamole and amazing array of beverages!“

“Exceptionally polite, responsive staff, (on top of delicious fare), makes a visit to Georgie's Corner Cafe a special treat!“

“Inside Ruckus Coffee Gallery & Cafe is a great event space! So grateful for Chris who helped me to coordinate a wedding shower for my friends. From planning the catering menu, to allowing me to come a day early for setup, to being so kind and accommodating day-of, very pleased with the choice to hold this event in the Ruckus Room. Food was delicious, Nevada who bartended for us was great, and the space was big but still cozy and easily able to be elevated with minimal decor. Will definitely think Ruckus for future private events and, in the meantime, for good coffee and cafe vibes!“

“Our first time at Caffe Mona and we were impressed by everything. Staff, food, service, vibe….all outstanding. It’s definitely going to be a regular stop now whenever we hit The Strip!“

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

“We love performing 2nd Sundays at Friendship Perk & Brew for the jazz jam. Highly recommend the egg and sausage gravy biscuit for brunch.“

“Best lavender vanilla latte I've ever had. Super cool vibe!“

“Slowly has become my favorite coffee in the city. They have a killer matcha and their lattes never disappoint. What really sold me is they make homemade lavender syrup the way I do at home and it just warms my soul. I love the staff. They are all so friendly and passionate about their work. Middle of the road for prices ($4-$6) for a speciality drink. Highly recommend.“

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

“the steak egg and pepperjack burrito - sweet potato pie - and the sweet potato latte!! also the courteous and friendly staff!!“

“The vanilla latte was delicious. I ordered a large to go. The pastries and croissants are delicious as well. Highly recommend this place“

“Indulging in the delightful offerings of our local crepe cafe is an absolute joy! The menu is a culinary delight, boasting a variety of sweet and savory crepes that cater to every palate. Each crepe is a masterpiece – thin, yet perfectly indulgent, with fresh, quality ingredients that burst with flavor. The cozy ambiance adds to the overall experience, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Whether you're craving a classic Nutella-filled treat or a savory masterpiece, this cafe never disappoints. Impeccable service and a passion for crepe craftsmanship make it a must-visit for those who appreciate the art of French-inspired culinary bliss.“

“I stopped in last night, there were two young ladies behind the bar that didn't acknowledge my presence. But when I came in there was a young man sweeping the floor because it was almost closing time and he put the broom down and came behind the bar to wait on me. He's the superstar in this story! Even after he got my drink, the young ladies behind the bar never made eye contact with me. Hard to believe you can go to a place in East Liberty and be treated as if you are invisible.“

“My first time in Pittsburgh and was brought to this awesome little spot on Butler St. Great selection of new and vintage tables which made for a fun hang on a rainy afternoon. You can grab a coffee or BYOB and make the rounds on some well maintained tables.“

“Super awesome staff! I when during a rush and this super nice older lady was staffing the whole place. Despite all the customers she kept the drinking coming fast! Food is also pretty decent, it’s a very small limited menu but they have some good sandwiches. I would definitely recommend stopping in for a quick drink or something to munch on.“

“Orders are placed at the counter but delivered to your table. La Prima coffee and really good omelets. Baked goods made on-site. Prices are great. The staff were very nice. A good stop!“

“I ate here yesterday !!! and could'nt get past the GUMBO. And that cornbread on the side, just made me do a MAMBO. Soon I looked down in dread as I lowered my head to see the bowl, empty,below. The quick thinker I am, to get out this jam, I just ordered four more to go! ( with peach cobbler and carrot cake for dessert).“

“Al wealth management has a proven track record of success, with impressive returns and a strong commitment to risk management. Their AI-driven approach is cutting-edge and sets them apart from traditional wealth management firms. I've seen firsthand how their personalized strategies have helped clients achieve their financial goals, and I highly recommend Kristen Tanya“

“Such a great neighborhood spot. I usually grab a coffee on my way to work and it's always great. When I've stayed longer and done some work, the food and atmosphere have been wonderful. It's a beautiful bright space. It's also a great place to pick up gifts for people.“

“Ambience, menu, service and, of course, the eclectic decor. What a delicious, fun experience in Lawrenceville. Will now be our go to brunch restaurant!“

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

“So delicious and fresh!!! ❤️ The Spot“

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

“Super friendly service and a great place to hang out!“

“Hidden gem. Most people would not be in a hurry to dine in a department store, but this place is quite a delight. From the welcoming hostess to the waiter that was on top of everything - this was a great experience. Now let's talk food - delicious!!! Definitely pleasantly surprised! The lamb chops were done perfectly. The skirt steak was flavorful. The lemon chicken gnocchi was delightful. We will be back!“

“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!!! Photography: @nicoleviews photography“

“Everything from the walk in the door to the very last bite was AMAZING! Cute smaller place with some seating and cute hammock swings. The owner was taking an order at the counter but greeted me and helped me as soon as he finished with them. He said it would be a 20 minute wait as items are made fresh. My food came out within the promised timeframe. The honey hot chicken sandwich and fries smelled so good, I couldn’t wait to get home. After a 30 minute drive home, the food was still hot and tasted way better than I expected after transport. I can’t wait to go back and try it fresh.This is a small made fresh business, if traveling a far distance try to check availability. Try to give them some ease and understanding that items may not be available and hours may fluctuate.“

“Great atmosphere, comfy & clean seating, delicious food that is beautifully presented.“

“Had a super delicious lunch at Erin’s Deli! I ordered a tomato mozzarella sandwich on the most delicious ciabatta bread! It was very flavorful with pesto and fresh tomatoes! I was pleasantly surprised as I’ve never been to this particular deli before; even though I’ve walked by it a million times! If you are looking for a quick, delicious lunch, stop in and give it a try! You won’t be disappointed!“

“Was there this past Friday and wish I could have stayed longer ! But...... , 1 beer ang go ! Anyhoo I had stopped for their Turtle soup ! ! And it was fantastic ! Good people all the way around ! Laughed , met great people and the bartender and 1 of the cooks I met we're 100% good people !Highly recommend stopping in for anything ! Been going there for years and it always a good time !“

“Delicious donuts and friendly staff!“

“Fun place to get coffee or tea. Very friendly staff and cozy environment!“

“I love the uniqueness of Ca Phê. Not only can I get my typical caffeine fix (coffee, tea, espresso, the usual), I can also crush my sweet tooth with yummy bubble tea and satisfy my appetite with tasty Vietnamese food. Get there early to grab a seat. Lunch time has always been a very busy time for them in my experience. I imagine this is a wonderful place for a takeout order.“

“CC's hosted our company luncheon and did a fantastic job! Excellent service and delicious food!“

“My first time at this spot and I will be back sooner rather than later! I got the beef pho and it was fantastic as well as the fresh shrimp summer rolls! It was a beautiful day so we sat outside! They were some of the kindest souls working there and I'm so happy to support their small women owned business“
