Randy and Hoaf are great guys! Some of the best sandwiches in town thanks to the use of the French technique. Smokes everywhere!

What a great new addition to East Carson! Sure, there are already numerous coffee shops up and down the street, but Delanie's has a vibe all its own. And the iced chai is great! read more

I wish I had more reason to hang out on Carson Street, because this is where I'd do it. Great coffee, nice people, beautiful space. Really a few steps above the chain coffee place a few blocks down the street. Glad to have them on the South Side. read more

What bad is there to say? The coffee is bomb the artwork is sick and was a great place to study for finals !

About the best south side coffee. If it isn't busy, get a pour over. Well worth the wait. Great staff, great product.

FAVORITE place to study in Pittsburgh. The staff is phenomenal and the food and drinks are delicious. I strongly recommend the Parisian (a blended coffee drink with Nutella) or trying one of their customizable breakfast sandwiches. The atmosphere is great and when the weather is nice they open up the front windows so the tables are open to the street. Excellent people watching on Carson St. read more

Nice lookin place and friendly baroosters. I think he even remade my drink because he wasn't satisfied with the latte art he made. And if it really was a sugar free vanilla caramel latte, it was one of the best ones I've had. read more

Delicious coffee, cool vibes, very friendly lively staff, amazing art, good jams who could ask for anything more!

great smoothies and coffee and juice!!!! made to order by nice staff in a quiet, calm spot! a must for pittsburgh traveling :)

My idea of a perfect coffee shop: great coffee, great food, and great atmosphere. We were in town for a concert and wanted a place with coffee and vegan options for breakfast. The make-your-own sandwich with egg, bacon, and cheese and fresh veggies pleased the omnivore in our group. The coffee drinks were hot and delicious: creamy and flavorful with prominent coffee flavor. Wish I had a place like this back home. read more

I wish I lived closer to this place, it's got a ton of rotating artwork on the exposed brick wall, great coffee and a less-is-more seating approach - good amount of seating without being aggressively packed in. Lots of outlets, good music playing... feelin' like I need to make my way back here real soon. read more

(Spacious, inviting, well decorated.) I stopped in here on Small Business Saturday and found a place well deserving of that kind of support. This place hits all the notes of the typical "indie coffeehouse" checklist, but it looks authentic and friendly. Different seating setups available -- bar stools, soft chairs, wooden tables for 2 or 4. Chalkboard menu offerings. Local art installed on the walls. But the kicker is, the food and drink are better than average and cheaper than average! I had a superb soy mocha, made perfectly and carefully. Well worth the stop! read more

One of the best places to go for coffee in the Burgh. A prime spot for college kids to get work done in peace and quiet. The menu is extensive and the baristas are very kind and willing to give you a recommendation. Wifi is available if you ask for the password. I must say- the black and white mocha is the best. Mmm. read more

This is such a cute little coffee shop and I love coming here! The staff has always been friendly and patient with me when I'm trying to figure out some kind of newly concocted coffee beverage to try for the day. Sometimes the seating is limited but I think it adds to the atmosphere and keeps it from getting crowded inside. Definitely the kind of place to come enjoy a nice latte and a book. read more

The folks that run and work at this adorable local coffee spot are top notch. This is one of those special places where they make the effort to remember your name. read more

This is my new favorite place! They have my two favorite things .... Fresh great coffee and juice. It is a great place to relax or get your creative juices flowing. I love that they fully support other local businesses and the artwork they have on display is numbered by artist/name and for sale! Great atmosphere and the people who work there are always very friendly and helpful! read more

Ordered a cortado and it did not disappoint! Nice atmosphere staff was so so when came to friendliness, very hip/eclectic art hanging.

Had some time to kill and was looking for a coffee shop that I could get a drink and hang out for a while. Happened upon this place. Looked interesting from the outside so I went in. Glad I did. I just got a regular cup of coffee which was excellent. Decor was nice and people were friendly. Only downside was music was a bit louder than I'm accustomed to at a coffee shop. It wouldn't be so bad but it was an alternative type music which wouldn't have allowed to have a quiet conversation. read more

I was elated when I discovered that Delanie's serves food. More coffee shops around town need to offer pastry and cookie alternatives. However, upon trying a "mojito" chicken wrap, I noticed that the chicken was bone dry on one side. I exchanged it for a "fresh" one only to find the same problem. Asked the obliging barista to check on a jerk chicken wrap, instead. Yet again, the same aged tint on the chicken - just on one side, though. So that's weird. As I had already paid, I settled on an Italian wrap with bologna, bacon, salami and a wad of provolone cheese, instead. It is a heartattack in a wrap. If I were the owner, I'd outsource my food to another outfit. "Food" being the wraps and iceberg lettuce "salads" that come accompanied with oil-saturated croutons on top. As for the desserts, they look incredible. I had a chocolate Oreo gob the other day and it was divine! Worth the $1.40 despite it's small size. There was also a homemade tiramisu on display. It looked like it was melting away in the display case. I passed at the look of it and raised an eyebrow at the $5.00 charge they wanted for it. My recommendation to management: re-consider the price of some of your food items. The Beehive is far more reasonable! And the last comment I'm going to make about the place (again, management, take note), is about the staff. I'm having a hard time putting my finger on it since they all seem nice enough. Maybe "university student," best describes it. In my restaurant, I'd fire any server who doesn't ask the customer if they want something else to eat or drink before ringing up the bill - especially if they're coming into a coffee shop and starting their order off with food. Just sayin'. Seems like common sense to ask the customer if they'd like something else to eat like, I dunno, dessert(?!!) or drink with their food. I mean, if I'm paying you to do a job, you had best earn your keep. Come on, ladies! Stop goofin' off and spend a little time with your customers. Y'all are smarter and more competent than that. And lastly, to justify what some might consider a harsh review, I just want to say that I don't often take the time to write yelp comments. The reason why I'm doing so is that Delanie's Coffee has a lot of potential to become a leading competitor in the arena of food and beverage service. It's certainly a nice space. And I enjoy spending time here. In fact, I might be better served if I kept my mouth closed as I'm currently guaranteed a seat in the house which is likely to change if modifications to price, menu and service are altered (as suggested above). So I guess I just like you folks that much to voice my feedback and opinion. Take it for what it's worth. Meanwhile, I hope to rate your joint with 5 stars at a future date. read more

Nice atmosphere. Wonderful and personable service. Above all, great coffee. Not too bitter. A perfect no frou frou latte. I will definitely be a repeat customer when I am in the area. Thank you. read more

if you are in the mood to be demeaned by middle aged hipsters who live with their parents (perhaps even sleep with their parents), then this is the place for you!! the food is decent due to the fact that the menu consists of 3 simple item that are impossible to ruin. the coffee.. was good. when my bandmates and i were looking for a table in the eating area we were surprised to find a woman with her toddler laid out across the largest table available--breastfeeding him. the child was clearly too old to be breast fed and one could clearly see the child's health was suffering as a result. as the breastfeeding mother glared at us we found a tight seat around a very small table and ate as quickly as possible while surrounded by a myriad of non sequitur art work ranging from a poorly printed image of a sunset that belonged in tj maxx, to demented perversions of my childhood comic book heros. all that being said, the food was ok and the coffee was comparable. I rate delanies a measly 2.1 moldy coffee beans. not a great rating, i will not see you later. read more

On my mission to stake out new coffee places in Pittsburgh as part of my staycation, I ventured down to the Southside through Monday morning traffic to check out Delanie's. First off, I was blown away by the beautiful space, offering tons of seating and lovely views of original artwork along the walls. I got a small table up in the lofted area after I made my order, which consisted of a drip coffee (delicious and full, and only $1 between 7am and 9am on weekdays!) and a made-to-order breakfast sandwich (like as in I watched my eggs being scrambled and cooked) stacked high with fresh spinach and thick-cut bacon. I found myself cursing all the years of school I spent in Pittsburgh without adding Delanie's to my study spot rotation. Delanie's would be equally awesome for a catch-up with a friend in addition to being work-friendly (I easily found an outlet as well as the Wi-Fi password). Highly recommend the trip to the Southside to check out Delanie's! read more

Nice coffee drinks and a cute space. I picked up whole bean espresso, not sure who they use but seemed a touch oily/over roasted when I pulled a shot at home. Would like to try their soups. read more

We had a wait at FatHeads down the street, so walked over to Delanie's. Pleasant experience with the "better than Starbucks" hot chocolate as stated by my 12 year old. Three drinks under $10, great music, visit with the locals, and smells of deliciousness. Will be back. read more

ive been in here a couple times . it's geared toward the college-aged / 20-something females that live in the south side commons and thereabouts. nothing particularly outstanding going on . Big Dog is a better spot for an high-level coffee/caffeine experience . delanies is as someone else mentioned very trend-aware which I can't stand . it's better than no coffee joint in that part of Carson Street but ... read more

Cool place. Were not sure they were open from outside but they are. Nice ppl. Great fresh scones baked on site.

When I was talking to a friend about chai tea lattes, she highly recommended Delanie's Coffee. Just hearing her describe the layout of the place (stairs that lead to open seats and a view of the shop) piqued my interest. Since it was only a 15 minute bus drive from Pitt, I went on the same day I talked with my friend. The verdict: Absolutely loved the drink and the ambiance! Definitely one of the best chai tea lattes I've ever had. Next time I'll be back to try their vegan sandwich. read more

Got a mixed berry smoothie- it was more like blended ice with faint if not any taste of fruits. Not sure about their coffee but I dropped it in the trash the moment I tasted the "smoothie" read more

Really good drip coffe and fresh fruit smoothies.

Other than the people begging for change outside the shop, this place is great. I like the art on the walls and the people who work there and, of course, the delicious drinks and yummy food. Delanie's is my favorite way to "treat myself" when I know I deserve something special. read more

I was originally drawn to this place because of convenience , and the fact that I'd much rather support a local, independently owned business. I only frequented Starbucks because I truly LIKED their coffee, but I don't usually support any corporate businesses. I was so pleasantly surprised by this place! They've done a fantastic job of making it homey, warm and inviting. It's updated and cozy without being at all pretentious. Their coffee is nothing short of amazing. Strong and flavorful, but only because that's what I LIKE. The staff is so attentive that I only had to order once before the dark, longer haired gentleman ( sorry his name escapes me right now, which is awful because he always waits on me and is so friendly) had my preferences memorized. It's worth it to ask about their menu because they'll make whatever you like, however you like it. As a vegan, I was also so impressed to know they offer many organic, all natural selections as well. I love that they serve fresh pressed juices,too. This is popular in other states because of the health benefits, but not so much in the burgh. They're perfectly sized and convenient and are a great natural substitute to coffee. Juices can provide more energy than caffeine, and I'm glad they realize that. I really have nothing negative to say, here! This establishment is clean, inviting, has fabulous employees, and offers great products all over the board. It's refreshing to leave an establishment with a smile on your face and eager to devour whatever delicious concoction they've made for you. Keep up the good work, Delanies. You'll continue to see me on a daily basis! And your staff ALL deserve gold stars. read more

First things first -- I enjoyed the cold brew and breakfast sandwich (smoked salmon) -- my friend's ham, egg, & cheese was just ok (heavy on the bread, light on the meat). Problem was having to wait 15+ min for the order; perhaps could increase staff on weekend mornings. read more

Nice little coffee shop thats quiet with a friendly staff and great prices. Always a fun (but small) crowd and love the postings on local events. Coffee is generally good, very good iced coffee. Sometimes the internet can be a little bit slow but that isn't a big deal for me. read more

They make custom breakfast sandwiches, really nice touch and staff is super friendly, they offered me access to their wireless network, I didn't even ask! Coffee is great, more along gourmet type then your typical mega chain stores, I'm a creature of habit and tend to lean towards bigger chains (Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts), yes I'm guilty, at least know what I'm getting when I'm in unfamiliar towns. As far as Delanie's, I look forward to hopefully shifting my habits and making this the go to place in the South side while I am staying here for my Latte's and Triple Shot Espresso drinks when I'm in need of that boost. read more

Great place in South Side. Not being a coffee drinker, it is hard to review a coffee shop, but they have a great tea selection of Harney and Sons teas as well as loose teas. Love the open storefront windows as well as all of the seating. A great place to meet up with friends or just read a book. Highly recommended for anyone who doesn't "need" to go to Starbucks. read more

Love that they have cold-brew coffee. Not many coffee shops in Pittsburgh have this option. They have the small local coffee shop feel as well, I'm not sure if they use any organic ingredients, but I hope they do :). I will be back for sure! read more

Cool place, but the past two times I've been there the women's bathroom is unclean and out of toilet paper.

I have never encountered such cold, unfriendly, rude staff as I have at Delanie's Coffee. Everyone that was behind the counter (four dudes) all appeared to be the most miserable coffee shop workers I've seen. There was one man in particular (I won't describe him here) who took my order with the absolute worst attitude! I had no idea why! I wasn't being difficult, the coffee shop wasn't too crazy busy - I tried to overlook it. (maybe he was just having a bad day, right?) But then he proceeded to shoot me and my date absolute DAGGERS the entire time we drank our coffees. And we were sitting on the balcony, by the railing, so that we could look down over top of the counter/main entrance. He was just staring up at us the whole entire time, and it just made me feel so weird. I'm not one to read too much into that kind of thing, but I just got bad vibes from every staff member there. My drink was delicious, but I'll pass on Delanie's from here on out. read more
