This coffee shop is located right on Freeport Road in Blawnox. The inside is cozy, with photos on the walls, a couple of pastry cases, and a wall full of plants and plant-themed artwork. The bright wood tables, arranged in a herringbone pattern, paired nicely with the baby blue chairs and gave the shop a welcoming feel. After seeing that they exclusively served Rosa beans and seemed very proud of that, both my wife and I decided to order Americanos. My wife chose hers iced while I went with mine hot. My daughter ordered a cinnamon swirl, and I added a chicken empanada. About five minutes later our entire order was ready, and we headed back to the car. I started with the empanada. It had a nice flaky crust, and the chicken filling had good flavor, although it was a little on the dry side. My daughter didn't share her cinnamon swirl, but she assured me that it was good. After finishing my empanada, I moved on to my coffee and thought it was excellent. It opened with a touch of bitterness before settling into a smooth, rich coffee flavor that I really enjoyed. I was hoping to pick up some distinctive varietal notes on the finish but wasn't able to find any. Even so, it was still a very enjoyable cup of coffee. My wife also enjoyed her iced Americano. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Both my wife and I enjoyed our coffees, and the food made for a nice accompaniment as well.

Here, you can get farm to cup coffee. The owner's dad actually runs the farm in Columbia where they…read moresource their beans and roast them locally around Pittsburgh. The staff is so kind and friendly and they brew amazing coffee that is about as fresh as you can get unless you are in a growing region of the world. The shop is small and simple but clean and polished with a great vibe. Got a cappuccino and it was top notch. They know what they are doing with coffee here. Definitely worth going out of your way for this one.

This was my first stop in my strange visit to Jeanette. Came here on a Saturday. I think the whole…read moretown was closed - I saw maybe 2 people in all of Jeanette. Very sad. Stumbled on this coffee shop, walked in looking for a cup of coffee. Well, this coffee shop doesn't actually sell brewed coffee - except for what's in a carafe sitting on a counter. The employee seemed surprised that I would want to buy a cup of coffee. In a place called Miller Coffee Roasters, mind you. Strange. I guess they mostly sell whole beans. Still confused by the setup, I asked the lady, "If I give you $3, can I fill my cup with coffee over there and leave?" She said yes. So I did. And the coffee was actually very good.

The people who own it usually work here and they're super cool and fun to talk to. If you're a real coffee aficionado, this is your spot! They have geshas and anaerobic coffee. Even their basic drip is fruit forward. The nitro tea was also unique and while mild in flavor, I appreciate what they're doing. Definitely a great spot to hang. They were out of food by the time we got there but they do have brekkie sandwiches.

Talkers like me may make it loud--let's call it boisterous--inside, but I could see working on your laptop here, especially if you walk up or aren't worried about someone enforcing the 1-hour non-permitted parking signs in the side streets.

Not a good place to do work!…read more This is a beautiful space with inspiring decor. However, I came here because I heard it was a good place to get work done , and it's frankly one of the worst. Not a lot of typical table and chair setups (mostly couches and shared tables), plus overhead music was loud. I only had a premade bottled drink so can't comment on coffee. Barista was friendly. I really don't know why this is on so many lists of places to get work done. It's a beautiful place with a laudable mission, but don't expect to plop down at a private table and get in the flow of work.

There are several different seating types, a big shared table with outlets, as well as some chairs and an outdoor table. WiFi is good. Drinks are reasonably priced, especially in comparison to other coffee shops. The coffee is also so high quality. They have pastries including some gluten free! The gf chocolate chip scone is one of the best I've had. You can definitely still have a conversation there but I would say most people are pretty locked into their work so it is also a good place to focus. Staff are friendly and helpful. They also have unique tea options which I appreciate.

I got the Pallbearer ice latte with oat milk - Pall&Oats as Chad calls his favorite drink. The espresso is dark and rick with 2 long poured shots offset by a unique blend of syrups in perfect balance with the bitter. There was plenty of ready to eat items and a kitchen will be opening soon. GW is located in Allentown Neighborhood of Pittsburgh and fits right in with the surrounding New Orleans and Goth shops on this strip. I highly reccomend hanging out here!

This coffee shop is located in the Allentown neighborhood of Pittsburgh and my wife and I had visited it before in its previous incarnation. In any case, this shop definitely caters to an interesting crowd and that is reflected in the somewhat dim lighting inside. Besides the usual coffee bar and a merchandise area, what sets this place apart is that it has four pinball machines. For my coffee I went with the Vlad the Impaler while my wife went with the Bloody Kisses. The menu described mine as espresso with toasted marshmallow syrup, honey, hickory smoke, cinnamon and clove, topped with marshmallows and a hot honey drizzle. My wife's was described as espresso with dark chocolate sauce, French raspberry and cookie butter syrups, milk, and topped with whipped cream and raspberry drizzle. My coffee ended up being quite good. The flavor combination was one of the more complex ones I have had, and the hot honey added a bit of heat on the finish. That said, the coffee itself was not lost and still came through with a nice rich flavor. My wife also enjoyed her Bloody Kisses, especially the combination of dark chocolate and raspberry. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Grim Wizard definitely has a unique vibe, but I liked the pinball machines and the coffee was good as well.

Their lattes are consistently amazing, and they have plenty of great seating, whether you want to stay and relax or get some work done. One of my favorite things about this place is its location.

It's the perfect spot to slow down and enjoy a great cup of coffee.

Every weekend we…read moretry to hit up a new local coffee shop, and on this morning it happened to be Commonplace Coffee at Northland Library. I actually did not know this location existed and got excited after a coworker mentioned it to me the week before. As a parent of small kids, combining a library visit with a coffee stop is a win-win in my book. This Commonplace Coffee is located on the bottom floor in a corner just inside the doors. Because of its location, it is not a very large space, but they do have seating for about twelve people and a display case with pastries. For our coffee this morning, both my wife and I went with seasonal specials. I chose a large hot candy cane latte, while my wife went with a small hot praline latte. I thought my coffee was pretty good. It had a nice, mild peppermint flavor followed by a deep and rich coffee taste. The peppermint flavor was especially exciting for me, as I had been looking for a peppermint latte throughout the holiday season without much luck. My wife also enjoyed her praline latte and felt it really hit the spot. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Commonplace Coffee at Northland offers the same great coffee that all Commonplace locations are known for, and its location inside the library makes it a perfect spot for a coffee outing.

My husband and I are frequent visitors of this library and are past customers of other locations of Commonplace Coffee, so I felt excited to come here. The menu listed coffees, espressos, lattes, teas, hot cocoa, smoothies, milkshakes, juices, baked goods such as cookies and scones, and other foods such as yogurt parfait and sandwiches. An employee promptly and politely took our order and payment and made our beverages. The dining area contained some seating. I felt thankful that a table became available. I drank a hot Super Fruit Tea, and my husband drank an 16-ounce Iced Chai Latte. We enjoyed both beverages. According to my emailed receipt, the total price was about $9 plus tip plus Indiana County tax (!) *and* Allegheny County tax.
