A cool little spot in Shadyside that serves a good brew and plays good tunes. I went for the second time today and worked from here. I had a chamomile tea the first time and a mocha the second. Really liked that the barista served my coffee to me at the couch; a nice personal touch! I like that it attracts diversity; and I don't just mean ethnically. Both times I've seen older folks wander in here to have a spot of tea or a shot of joe. A true neighborhood joint that has a decent menu and makes you feel like you're stepping back into the 60s. The only thing that was an annoyance was the wifi cutting in and out when trying to work. I think a more reliable hot spot or connection is advisable. I shall return! read more

This one of the top 3 places for espresso and cappuccino in Pittburgh. This bar takes its coffee very seriously and the results are outstanding. They have some nice pastries too. And it is a good and comfy place to sit. read more

Arriviste Coffee Roasters - Cappuccino at arriviste, always perfect - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Cutting edge coffee in a hip setting in Pittsburgh...sweet! I liked it, and a nice biscuit along side, and a setting that is good for taking your time. Well done. read more

To be honest, this coffee is not good at all. It tastes like tomato soup. I've been a barista for years, and the people weren't inviting at all. Thumbs down read more

Visited Arriviste today for the first time. Really cool spot! I was somewhat boring and just ordered an iced coffee - but their options are endless. Lots of speciality drinks to try, so I'll definitely return. The location in Shadyside makes it really convenient for foot traffic and there is street parking all around it - making it relatively easy to find a spot if needed. The only disappointment was that I wanted to sit down & enjoy my coffee there, but there wasn't any seating left. It's a smaller place, but if you can find seating, it seems like a great place to meet a friend or to get some work done. Employees were very friendly. read more

We weren't big fans of Arriviste Coffee Bar. The vibe was nice and the place seemed clean, but the coffee left much to be desired in our opinion. The aroma of the shop upon entering was that of roasted coffee mixed with some sort of musty odor. We went to our favorite spot (Commonplace) right after. read more

If you want an authentic coffee shop experience, come here! Perfect coffee. Calm, modern atmosphere ... the owner Kim is amazing. You won't be disappointed. SUPPORT LOCAL! read more

Arriviste Coffee Roasters - A simple latte, that was smooth and wonderful. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

A wonderful, unique addition to Pittsburgh's specialty coffee scene! The vibe of the décor at Arriviste is very airy and light. My first thought was that this would be a great place to meet up with friends or come to work when you really need to get things done, because the atmosphere is very calm and without distraction. The staff at Arriviste is as friendly as it gets. I came in on an unseasonably warm day, and ordered a flash-brew iced coffee, because I had never had one before! I have to say, I'm not usually a big fan of iced coffee, but this was absolutely delicious. So refreshing! I highly recommend it if you head in there sometime over the summer. Arriviste sources a variety of beans from a variety of places, but there's a focus here on finding which brew method really showcases each bean. When I visited, Kim and one of his staff members were experimenting with several different ways of brewing a new kind of bean they had just gotten in. They do a great job of explaining some of the different flavor profiles of their beans (for example, notes of fruitiness, spice, tea, milk, etc...these are flavor notes, not add-ins), which I find fascinating! I love trying different coffees at their best, and that definitely seems to be the focus at Arriviste. One of my favorite aspects of Arriviste is how thoughtfully they source the chocolate that they use to make their espresso drinks. They use Askinosie chocolate, which is ethically sourced (very difficult to find in chocolate these days) and extremely high quality. They also sell bars of the chocolate near the register. I got a bar of the peanut butter dark chocolate and enjoyed it with my iced coffee...what a luxury! read more

I have never written a Yelp review before, but my experience here was so lovely I felt compelled to give a shoutout to this new business! Had a great chat with the owner, Kim. He was welcoming and friendly in a way that is sorely lacking in the area. The space is beautiful and peaceful. It's definitely somewhere I could see myself spending a lot of time. Finally, the most important bit: the coffee. I haven't had a great cup of coffee in this neighborhood in years until today. I'll always wait for a good brew, but the whole experience only took about 5 min and the coffee is perfect. So, so excited to watch this business grow. read more

Just tried it for the first time. The Americano was subpar and the latte was average but the service is probably the worst in the city. I live in the neighborhood and stopped in this morning. It took about 10 minutes to be greeted and the barista was kind of a jerk. Thank goodness there are plenty of coffee shops in Shadyside because I'll never be back to this one. read more

Coffee is decent, but it's over-priced for what you get. Definitely get the full passive-aggressive barrista experience at this place, so, if you miss your bad San Francisco coffeeshop this is the place for you. read more

Beautiful space, great music, and great coffee. A perfect space for meeting up with friends, reading a book, or getting some work done. The owner Kim and his family are friendly, great at explaining the choices, and will clearly become a cornerstone of the community. I also loved the furniture and aesthetic! read more

Arriviste Coffee Roasters - Lots of variety of seating! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

This has got be my favorite coffee bar in Pittsburgh. It has a one of a kind atmosphere. It's locally run. The coffee & tea selection is amazing. The owner & employees are always kind and fast. I highly recommended stopping by to grab a cup. read more

This place is awesome. Excellent coffee. Very creative and interesting drinks. Solid selection of chocolate and both sweet and savory snacks. read more

Little gem in Pittsburgh. I walked to this coffee place on a rainy day in Pittsburgh (LA didn't have a rain for over a year!) I had Panama pour over cuz I never had Panama coffee before. Very rare and very good! Conversation with Kim, the owner, was fun. He was very knowledgeable. On the second day, I had two different pour overs to taste. Very nice! Loved coffee, ambience, and people. read more

Arriviste Coffee Roasters - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Loved this place from the moment I stepped in the door! Very clean, modern style. The barista was very knowledgeable and friendly-- not condescending like some can be at other shops. My latte was large and delicious. Large window with natural sunlight and couch seating near the front. Small and large tables, whichever you prefer. The only downfall was that there wasn't enough seating--during my time there, I observed a few people come in and leave due to no available seating. Overall, love the place! Can't wait to go back! read more

Arriviste Coffee Roasters - Latte comes with a cute butter cookie - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Best coffee shop in Pittsburgh! Great coffee and friendly staff with a really cool layout!

Kind baristas, winning MCM decor, good volume of music. But no outlets. A "design choice". So if you're hoping to do work, make sure you come fully charged, or else you're packing up thirty minutes after settling in to find another spot to work at. read more

I visited Arriviste for the first time right when it opened. It's perfectly situated on Ellsworth which is an instant win in my mind. The coffee was delicious, but I was disappointed in minimal seating. I had to take mine to go. I returned for an event there as part of #pghcoffeeweek and learned all about some of the specialty coffee they serve and I was more intrigued to continue visiting. I'd like to be able to sit and stay next time, but with very refined barista skills and an emphasis on pure coffee and espresso, this is a wonderful place to check out in Shadyside! read more

Arriviste Coffee Roasters - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

See all

This place gives off some of the best coffee vibes in Pittsburgh. A quality coffee shop with modern vibes, great coffee, and smiling faces. Which I say in comparison to various coffee shops I've visited across the globe is a rare experience. Arriviste is that coffee shop you go to when you're looking for a communal experience. I wouldn't recommend this place if you're hoping to go to a shop with a vast amount of seating where you'd hope to find the perfect nook without someone in close proximity to you. I'd be more likely to suggest this to someone who enjoys a nice co-working space. This spot is a must go to coffee shop in the burgh, for sure! read more

At this point, I'm a regular here. The coffee is all great, and the staff is incredibly friendly. Love that the shop supports local artists. The baristas even go out of their way to get to know me. Stopping by at arriviste for coffee is a part of my day I always look forward to. read more

This is a wonderful coffee & espresso shop . It is such an inviting place and the espresso is delicious. Simply reminds me of morning's in Italy. Kim, Cole and Nick are fantastic. My husband and I can't help but go here everyday. If you haven't been to Arriviste yet, you are missing out on probably the best coffee & espresso experience in Pittsburgh! read more

Arriviste Coffee Roasters - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

This is a decent coffee place, a nice little spot for a cup of coffee and some quality working/writing/reading time. What we like the most about this place is that it has a nice atmosphere, and it's quiet enough to read but also comfortable enough to talk and chat. We got a Japanese-style flash brew and a café con miel. The flash brew actually reminds us of the coffee that we got from the widespread vending machines on Japanese streets. It has a hint of bitterness that's somewhat enjoyable more than others. The café con miel, which is espresso+steamed milk+honey is very smooth. It has a nice silkiness to it, and the sweetness from the honey is not overwhelming at all, but rather tastes very natural, making the drink not overly sweetened. I can easily see someone prefer here over chain coffee shops. read more

Arriviste Coffee Roasters - Japanese style flash brew and café con miel - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I get a shot from this place like 3 times a week (I drink a lot of espresso.) Arguably the best espresso in Pittsburgh. Great service as well. read more

They only have decaf pour over, not espresso, which is too bad. They have soy and almond milks as alternatives if you do drink caffeine and can get an espresso drink. This is a great study spot, but I wish they made better use of their ample space and added another table for people. They also cover the outlets so people can't plug in and take up residence, so come with a full charge on your laptop! read more

Awesome spot! In town for the weekend and staying in Shadyside. Tried Treehouse and thought coffee was junk. This spot has great iced coffee and Cappuccino. Will be back read more

I'm in love with Arriviste! Such a cozy place to get some work done while sipping some great coffee!

The sign on the door reads, "Almost 5 stars on Yelp." This high-concept coffee bar on Ellsworth doesn't keep pace with Pittsburgh's better coffee shops. On the plus side, the staff were pleasant, the shop was spotless, they had the Sunday NY Times, and they use high quality coffee. Unfortunately my coffee was not hot. The barista brewed and delivered a replacement but it didn't include the shot I ordered. The other members of my party were similarly disappointed with their beverages. I found the atmosphere rather clinical and uninviting. Bottom line: disappointing coffee in a downer setting. read more

Easily my favorite neighborhood coffee shop. I love trying their pour over offerings, and their espresso never disappoints. Super friendly staff, awesome environment, good for working and for small (2-3 person) meetings. Their breakfast quiches are always delicious and make a good first meal that isn't overfilling. And, if you have a sweet tooth like I do, they have really good locally made pastries and fair trade chocolate. Definitely worth the extra couple of dollars. They also do art shows every couple of months there. Anyway, if you're in Shadyside and in need of caffeine, you absolutely need to stop here. read more

Probably the most consistently good coffee in the city. I get excited to walk in this place every time. The espresso machine is interesting as well read more

Definitely a nice spot for a relaxing cup of coffee. Atmosphere is good, not much seating, pricing is fair. The pour over coffee would be my recommendation. read more

Chill coffee place that has free WiFi and ample plug points. Love the coffee and the ambience here - isn't too crowded and has sleek interior! read more

First of all, Arriviste exceeded my expectations. I walked in to see a gorgeous mod-bar setup and beautiful decor. Beautiful bags of coffee were on the shelf from none other than Brandywine, Passenger, and Commonplace coffee roasters. All very good roasters by the way. The barista was very friendly and even showed me the tasting notes of the espresso I had ordered. That espresso was delightful. The best I've had in awhile. What else should I say? Can I put more frosting on the frosting I already put on? Simply amazing. Wow. read more

It's a coffee shop so the most important factor in the rating is the coffee. Whether it's the espresso drinks or the pour-overs, Kim and the crew have nothing but the best. They take pride in their drinks without coming off as rude about it. If you're one to hang out and do work, the shop is also great in that aspect too. Obviously it depends on the crowd but it's typically a pretty quiet and calm atmosphere. One of my favorite places to hang out when I need to get out of the house and buckle down in my work. read more

That's a nice addition in the neighborhood. Nice environment, friendly service and very good coffee. It is recommended for both just hanging out with friends but also for getting some work done. Definitely I will be coming back here! read more

top star espresso bar! this was the first time i'd seen a modular espresso machine. espressos -- two offerings -- were both delicious and unique in profile from each other. my barista Cole was experienced and knowledgeable and unlike some places actually likes coffee. worth going out of your way. read more

I went on a Sunday morning and squeezed in at a comfortable chair by the couch. Three guys were sitting there and there were magazines on a chair. When I asked if anyone was sitting there, they immediately moved the mags and I found my home. I scooted it a little closer to the window and was so comfy and cozy. I loved this coffee shop a lot because it has much more of a Seattle-like vibe than others I've been to in the 412. This brought me a lot of positive memories and warm and fuzzy feelings because I'm from Alaska and Seattle is our first link to the outside world, and a place I get to explore on business trips, something I don't get to do right now. It was interesting to me how much space was allowed between seating options: this was not a cafe with European-style seating elbow to elbow with no personal space. The seating was almost architecturally arranged, like the spaces in between were as much a part of the design as anything. There are a couple tiny seats at the front where you could watch and breath on the baristas, which I did not do, because I didn't think they'd appreciate me staring at them for two hours solid. There is also a side area where you can take your espresso standing up. But thanks to Yelp, I scoped out the seating options before I ordered, because I wanted to stay and soak up the interior design. As for my drink, it was also a five star drink. Thanks to Yelp I understood the system of little pieces of wood that have different pieces of the menu on them. I like to read menus, so I read them all. But I was also on a mission to redeem my idea of cold brew, having had a nasty one elsewhere recently. The barista asked if I had any questions, and my shy self normally says "No" whether or not I have a questions, but I decided to go ahead and ask "Is the cold brew bitter?" He said, "No, not at all." So I ordered it. I never send food or drinks back when they are bad, but I figured if I was going to be brave, if the cold brew was nasty and bitter, I'd be in a better position to say so since I'd asked in advance. But good news, I had no need, as it was delicious, delicious, delicious. I drank some as is, then added half and half. And I nursed it for two hours. I was sad when it was gone but knew it was time to move on. Arriviste has made my short list of shops worth a repeat visit during my time in town, however long or short it may be. read more

Artsy vibe and the white album was on when I got here. You really can't ask for much more. Oh yeah and the coffee is awesome!

greatest coffee I ever had!! the atmosphere is very nice and modern. great music, great decoration. I love every thing. The owner Kim, is very nice and friendly. If you live in this area, you should not miss this place. read more
