A friend and I stopped by on a whim around 11am. The inside is small with a couch and two chairs, a bench some small tables and seats, and four chairs with counter seating. They do have a couple of small tables and chairs outside. They have WiFi. The coffees I have gotten here are so good, especially the Thrilla from Manila with delicious ube and the Green Card Holder with pandan! They offered some baked goods that vary and the also carry Leona Ice Cream sandwiches! read more

Great little coffee shop if you want a bit pricier but good quality drink! The Ube Latte is a stand out, and they also have some assorted pastries from Pigeon Bagels which are always yummy. The barista was very friendly, there's not a lot of seating but the ambiance was really nice to do some work or read. Wish they had some more proper tables, but the format is quite homey and intimate. Overall a nice place to stop by especially for the Ube Latte! read more

Their espresso is quite acidic and it comes through the lattes. I think this throws off a lot of the balance Green card holder- yay for charities. Pandan flavor was very slight. I wouldnt order again Ube latte- strong ube flavor! A good one read more

One of my absolute favorite drinks I've gotten in Pittsburgh! The úbe-coconut is such a unique flavor. Would recommend to anyone! read more

Arriviste was a nice neighborhood coffee shop. The service was good and the coffee selection was abundant. They had pastries as well with a few vegan options. Arriviste had a small independent book/publication section near the front of the shop. We bought two interesting publications on the way out. read more

super cool cafe that opened up on Ellsworth, loved their mix of specialty drinks!! the green card holder was really nice with the pandan. the space is also really nice and open, allowing for a more casual hang out space rather than a place to study/work read more

We used the paid street parking and I'm not sure how much more was available but it seemed ok and was not expensive. The place was small but made good use of what they had available. The plants were tickling my head while sitting against the wall but they looked nice. Ok, all that aside, the coffee was really good. I bought two different kinds and enjoyed them both with my son. The presentation was great and I like having small carafes to pour the amount I wanted and sample each. They were pricey but I don't mind paying for good coffee. My only complaint was with who I perceived to be the owner in his brusk interaction while deciding what he recommended from the menu. I don't need to air it all out but I chose his shop, drove over an hour to get there with my son while we were headed to an appointment, and would have appreciated some warmth. When you're the only person in a small space, the way you speak with people matters even more. Recommend. (for to go) read more

To know If a coffee shop can make good coffee, I always order a basic latte. Arriviste can definitely make good coffee! This latte didn't taste super bitter (which I prefer), but still had that delicious coffee taste coming through. I want to come back and try some specialty coffees next time! read more

Awesome experience here! This is a spot I've wanted to try for a long time due to their ube drinks. Definitely did not disappoint! read more

Cute, contemporary and coffee, Arriviste has perfected all three! Delicious coffee shop in Shadyside. Tried the Vanilla Iced Latte and it was 10/10- tastes just like vanilla bean ice cream! Coffee bar serving high-end beans brewed by speciality machines. They also offer teas and pastries. Great spot to meet some friends or get some work done! read more

Located off Ellsworth Ave is this hip local coffee shop. Been going since day one of their opening. I love their rotating coffee menus and local pastries. Very art oriented and jazz influenced style brings me in and other customers has well. The employees are the bees knees. read more

Awesome little coffee shop that my daughter and I dropped in to last Saturday while getting ready for a family event. Arriviste's staff are competent and calm, supporting a relaxing "we've got this" atmosphere. The coffee was carefully prepared (two lattes, one with oat milk) in cups on saucers that were purchased by someone with a keen eye for updated classics. My only regret was that I broke a cup (!) on my way out and neglected to offer to reimburse them for it. But, of course, this now means I need to come back again soon! Thank you for the beautiful coffee moment. read more

I LOVE this quaint little coffee shop...it's quiet, spacious, & comfortable. I had a delicious iced coffee with honey & an amazing chocolate chip cookie. I really enjoyed the flexibility & hospitality from the barista Cassy; so I accidentally forgot to say I wanted an ice coffee & she did a remake of my drink. Also, when I suddenly was freezing and she closed the door and postponed getting some fresh Spring air. If that isn't remarkable service I'm not sure what is! This is my new favorite space! Please stop in when you're in the area. Kudos! read more

Absolutely abysmal and a pathetic coffee shop. The service was downright hostile--after placing our order, the owner marched over just to scold us for sharing a drink, as if that's some sort of crime (my partner can't even have caffeine). The whole place reeks of insecurity, from the tasteless, wannabe-hipster vinyl decor to the petty policing of customers. Miserable vibe, miserable staff. Embarrassing excuse for a coffee shop. Do better--or just don't bother. read more

I like this spot! The people are very nice and I enjoyed the Japanese flash-brewed coffee. The only thing is there aren't many seats so you may luck out with finding a place to sit. Other than that, enjoyed my time here! read more

Coffee is not good and the service is worse. You greet, they say "just order". Requested an extra shot of espresso, they said "no, we already do doubles"....tell that to my pale latte. read more

This is everything a coffee shop should be. Mellow, cozy atmosphere. Small drink menu but executed perfectly. Good tunes. Gnomes. This is a 10 out of 10 for me (or in this case 5 star out of 5 star). read more

I stopped by here earlier today with my wife for our morning coffees. Every Sunday we try to hit up a local coffee shop and on this day it happened to be Arriviste Coffee Roasters. This was actually the second time that we had been here as I had forgotten to write a review the first time. This store is located right on Ellsworth Avenue and is decent sized inside. It has a couple of tables as well as some lounge seating, all well spaced, and it was quiet the morning that I was there. Then near the front they have a shelf full of merchandise that you can buy like coffee and some hats. For my coffee on this morning I went with a con miel while my wife went with an americano. What I like about Arriviste is that you can tell that they are serious about their coffee as they weigh each and every puck before they make the espresso. We also ended up ordering a breakfast burrito which takes 10 minutes to make. So after that was done baking, I had my coffees and was out the door. My cafe con miel was described as espresso + steamed milk + spices local Bedillion honey. My first sip of it ended up being quite good with the espresso and milk in nice ratios at the beginning before getting a spiced sweetness on the finish. My wife thought her americano was good. Last was the breakfast burrito which consisted of egg, beans, cheese and potato. With the cooking time it was nice and crispy on the outside and I enjoyed everything inside except for the potato. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. I really enjoyed my coffee here and thought my wife's was quite good too. read more

The coffee shop itself is nice! I love that it has art that appeals to many different consumers. The coffee shop is a bit on the smaller side but was nice and quiet for those who are working outside of the office. I was not a fan of the service nor my drink. I ordered a matcha latte and requested lavender syrup in it. The barista told me they have the most premium matcha and they do not add syrups to their matcha. He informed me that if I wanted to add sugar to it I could after it was made. That response really threw me off. In the food industry, I'd argue that the customer is always right. As an adult I know what I like and don't like, they are my taste buds. My mistake was that I obliged. The matcha was not good and I would have thoroughly enjoyed it if there was lavender syrup in it as I originally requested. read more

I had a pretty disappointing experience here. Got their specialty drink Thrilla the manila and a Matcha Latte. The manilla drink was way too sweet. The matcha latte taste like sweetened milk. On top of that, I thought the baristas here were not inviting at all / borderline rude. read more

Excellent coffee. We had dropped coffee "cup of joe". They add the cream for you (see foreground). Muffin is heated. The coffee is excellent and rivals any good coffee spot in SF Bay Area. Looks like a great place to talk and work! Will definitely come back when I'm in Pittsburgh. read more

A hidden gem (at least to me). I live right down the road, and I never knew it was here until a friend recommended we stop in a few days ago. The drinks were great, and pastries were delicious. Arriviste also had a great atmosphere-- it was cozy and relaxed, and it genuinely seemed like a great place to hang out and work for a while. We sat on the sofa and caught up for a long time. It was really lovely. read more

Arriviste has some of our favorite specialty coffee drinks in Pittsburgh! If you like unique flavors beyond just a basic latte, you'll definitely want to check them out. It is a very small space though, so we take our drinks to go because there's never anywhere to sit. read more

Nice coffee shop vibe. If I didn't have to study all the time, I'd love to go here and catch up with some friends on a Sunday morning. The iced spiced honey latte was delicious. Seating limited to 3 small tables with two seats each, a communal table for ~10, a couch and 2 lounge chairs. I only saw one available outlet, so you'll have to share. Free WiFi available. read more

I really want to love this coffee shop because I love supporting small businesses but I don't recommend it. I've been there about a dozen times over the past several months. I'm just amazed at how (at best) the servers are indifferent and (worse) outright aloof and seemingly not helpful on purpose. The coffee is very good of course but the experience leaves a lot to be desired. Maybe this is being unusually picky but they won't/can't do anything that requires effort - they offer breakfast sandwiches and I asked if the cheese can be removed before warming it. No we can't touch the sandwich. How about a muffin - can you warm it? No we can't because it would require removing the paper liner or it would catch fire and if we do that the muffin might fall apart blah blah blah. And then the WiFi password is something ridiculous like 15 letters that have meaning to someone but not obvious so I had to take pic on my phone or take my device to where it's shown to type in the password. The space is cozy enough and in a good location which is why I've been coming back. But each time I'm like meh to ugh. Sorry but I'll actively avoid this place. read more

Delicious coffee. Nice location. Nothing very uniquely interesting about it, but worth your visit.

There's a careful attention to detail when anyone makes a coffee drink. Every drink I've had has been rich and well made; never too acidic nor bitter. I also love the art posted around the shop. I recommend meeting a friend there or reading on their comfortable couch. read more

My favorite coffee shop in Pittsburgh, bar none. The staff is wonderful and the shop design is clean and comfortable. The specialty drinks are good enough to get me trying something that isn't just a black coffee or a breve too (looking at you Thrilla from Manilla...) They roast in-house too, on an all-electric roaster. I cross a bridge and go through a tunnel for these beans, especially for a recent run of an Ethiopian. What's more, roasting on their electric system saves an immense amount of CO2 emissions over natural gas roasting, so it's tasty and sustainable. Finally - if the above reasons weren't enough, they donate proceeds from various drinks monthly to important regional charities. read more

I've been coming here for a few years and was so glad to see they reopened (safely!) during this covid summer. Their coffee selection is always great. And their cold brew hits the spot on hot mornings. (Shoutout to 350° bakery for the baked goods!) Whether you want a quick cup of Joe or a carefully done pourover, this is the place to go. read more

Super Industrial design and cleanliness, barista is a kind and articulate bearded guy. Cool chill music at a chill volume level.

Great smelling coffee, some bars, well done pastries and I'm having a Savory 'Pierogi' turn over. read more

This place falls short of my expectations. I wanted to check out this spot for a very long time and finally made it on a Sunday afternoon. The cafe was empty when I walked in. I liked the decor and the interiors. Our barista was very polite and did inform us that they were out of all baked goods and treats by the time we got there. Although, that was slightly disappointing, I went ahead and ordered a mocha and my cousin who accompanied me got a cappuccino. Mocha barely tasted like one on the first sip. Their description of dark chocolate ganache in a mocha on the website seemed pretty interesting, however, the actual beverage fell short. As a matter of fact, I had to add sugar to make it taste a little like mocha. My cousin mentioned that his cappuccino hardly tasted like one and was more like a macchiato. This might seem funny to whoever is reading this, but I'm not going here again. The ambiance and service is good, but that alone doesn't suffice! read more
