So glad to go support local and really great quality coffee over a chain branch - also got my toddler and adorable sprinkle cookie“

“Visited this morning for the first time. Got egg and cheese sandwiches, one croissant one ciabatta - both were amazing!! The lattes were delicious and rich. You can really taste the quality of the espresso. They were short staffed (1 employee who was grinding hard!) so I did wait about 25 minutes for two coffees and sandwiches. I didn’t mind that much and it was well worth the wait. Can’t wait to go back!“

“I really enjoy their coffee and breakfast sandwiches“

“Best coffee on Walnut Street! The mango frappe is also awesome.“

“The “go too” for the areas best coffee selection. If you don’t find it here, more than likely it just can’t be found.“

“I often work remotely from my laptop, and this shop has always been my go-to after moving to the Southside in 2020. The atmosphere is incredibly cozy and the baristas are extra attentive and caring. I love this spot so much so that after two years of being a "regular" I started working here part time. As a customer turned employee, I can honestly say that being behind the counter is just as amazing as my experience from the other side of the bar. Lavinia puts so much heart into every detail and cares deeply about fostering a sense of community within the shop (for both employees and customers). I recommend Delanie's to everyone in hopes of it becoming their favorite spot too!“

“It’s a very tiny coffee shop, but they probably have my favourite drink in all of pittsburgh. Their almond torte coffee is to die for, and I still think of it to this day. It is creamy and delicious, and the form on top itself is magical. I would have it every day if I could. The space itself is quite intimate and communal. There is very limited seating, so you might have to share your table with somebody else in a communal sort of set up. There are lots of games on Offer and I saw couple families playing board games. This cafe actively discourage you from using laptops and working from there. So if you are planning to work, this might not be the place for you. But if you’re planning to come here and enjoy a delicious coffee along with your favourite book, you are in the right place. I would avoid their pastries. It was just meh.“

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

“my favorite coffee shop ever!!! every barista here is so kind and friendly!! their coffee is delicious and so are their baked goods (:“

“Absolutely delicious matcha drinks with mixologist skill, lovely service, and excellent baked goods: cookies, miso-sesame biscuits are a must try! My gf and I are regulars here. We think it’s the best matcha house in Pittsburgh.

Besides the drinks and baked goods, they offer blended matcha powders for at-home as well as tasteful tea-mixing accoutrement. We’ve enjoyed making teas at home, but there’s nothing like coming in.

We haven’t tried their soft-serve yet but are excited to!

Great place to sip and work on WiFi as well.

Dietary restrictions: Non-dairy milk selections like oat, soy, almond.“

“It’s so nice having some good vegan breakfast options! I got the vegan egg and cheese with vegan bacon. 10/10. Also got the orange donut and pumpkin donut. All their alternative milks are house made as well! I highly recommend it. (Also free parking ?)“

“This is a lovely place with friendly and caring staff. I recommend stopping by to meet the cats and talk to their sweet caregivers!“

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

“Always a perfect latte and the bean quality is excellent.“

My favorite is the cappuccino...
A beautiful heart design on top of my coffee foam done like a real Italian artist!...
never disappeared till my last sip!

My husband and I love it here and look forward to our visits each week
A beautiful experience, and a 'best' personal choice to be added to your daily 'to do' list.

“If you are looking for a great milkshake then Fitfiene is the place to get one. I’m a chocolate fanatic and their chocolate extreme milkshake is the best milkshake I have ever had. nice atmosphere and they have free games for you to play while you relax with your treats. Very reasonably priced.“

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

“Incredible meal, outstanding service, cool vibe. Scallops were fresh, perfectly cooked chicken, and the best Panna cotta I've ever had. I asked the server for pairings and they were all perfect. First time having a Pinela and loved it. I wish I was there with someone to try more. It was a last minute decision to eat here and really only stumbled upon it. So glad I found it! Definitely worth a visit. Make a reservation or get there when they open to sit at the bar.“

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

“I stopped in Espresso A Mano for the first time this morning. The two baristas were very welcoming and helpful with guiding me on what to try. One of the men explained they make blends of coffee and syrups in house. I tried their house iced chai tea latte and it is to die for! This shop is a bit out of my way, but I’ll absolutely be back to try more items on the menu!“

“Been in Oakland for a few years and Sidecar is my go-to cafe for myself and to meet up with friends. The food is phenomenal, their baked goods are perfection, and the drinks are delicious. Special shout out to the barista Em for making some of the best coffees I’ve ever had and always having great drink recommendations and such cheerful, professional customer service. The entire place is decorated so cutely with their signature mugs and wall art (please start selling the mugs!) and their iconic mirror wall. I recommend Sidecar whenever a friend mentions they want to get coffee, and I always recommend the Pittsburgh Smog tea and cinnamon rolls.“

“Stopped there this morning and tried their burnt almond torte latte. The drink was amazing. Their atmosphere had a very cozy relaxing feeling to it and the employees were very welcoming.“

“In town visiting with family - coffee is a necessity to begin any day. Big Dog Coffee is exactly what we needed. Relaxed atmosphere- great coffee and fabulous pastries and sweets. If you’re in Pittsburgh- definitely stop by and support local small business. ☕️“

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

“This is an awesome place to get boba! It’s definitely quite far from my usual takeout places, but definitely worth the drive every once in a while. It’s locally owned and the prices are some of the best around. I decided to try out their pineapple milk tea.

The drink was very tasty and refreshing. It’s got that hint of creaminess from the milk, but still tastes quite light. The portion is fantastic; much larger than most places. The pineapple flavor really shines through, too. Quite sweet. And, the bobs is very fresh. They have several options for pearls, but the classic definitely hits the spot.

All in all, I really liked this place. It’s one of the best boba shops I’ve tried in a while. Definitely recommend the milk teas.

“Great place great coffee and food“

“The coffee is great, and all of the employees and the owner are genuinely nice, caring people. The service is always on point, plus they have Orams donuts! Definitely check this place out. It's a great local, independent coffee shop run the way it should be.“

“A cute cafe with a ton of charm. Great spot for coffee if you’re in the Bridgeville area, great seating outside. Food looked amazing as well!“

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

“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.“

“As someone who isn't a fan of coffee, the barista made a great beverage recommendation. I would absolutely go back!“

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

“I’m recently new to the area and just opened a hair salon, I’ve been trying new coffee places to enjoy and this one has really hit the spot. It has the cutest decor and very friendly welcoming when entering. The menu special items are highlight and the FOOD PORTION SIZES ARE HUGE! The new owner Andrew I had met with on my first trip and I just really loved the service I received.
Each time the coffee has been really good, and the food over the top amazing. I love the customer experience I received each time I’ve been in. I will be back. Such a great place to relax.“

“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!“

“On a scale of nonfiction to romance novels, Caffe d'Amore makes me feel like the main character of my own novel. So many details of this coffee shop whisper thoughtful consideration from the menu options to the compostable/non-compostable bins. There's wifi for working, multiple styles of tables to choose from, and just the very best vibe.

And how charming that a barista was kind enough to point out that my overalls had a twist in the back, and she helped me fix them. I love good people. <3

“Great tasting coffee with the most pleasant service! A must visit for anyone in the area!“

“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 husband and I didn't know this place was here till today, but we are so glad we found it! The Farmer's Latte was excellent and I always appreciate having milk substitutes! The Arepas were delicious and very filling! Service staff are very kind; we will definitely be back!“

“Great place to stop for coffee on the way to South Hills. The coffee was excellent, the staff was very helpful, and the shop was immaculate. My new favorite stop!“

“This is my partner and I's favorite coffee shop in all of Pittsburgh. Every drink I've ordered has been delicious, and their breakfast burrito is amazing as well. Never a miss with this place. The baristas are friendly and efficient, and the owner is a great guy - friend of my partner. The atmosphere is unlike any other in the city, eclectic and maximalist, yet very cozy. There's a reason that every time we go most of the tables, indoor and outdoor, are filled up! I've recommended this place to countless people, and will continue to do so. We probably come here at least once a week, and are always looking for excuses to stop by and get a tasty drink.
