    Such a cute little cafe! They have a variety of food options included vegan free pastries. Super quick to take my order and very kind. Even catered to my allergy!! Absolutely love it here (:

    Lime sprinkle donut
    Leo S.

    food & coffee are still delicious, but the standards changing from vegans being prioritized to vegans included (and charged quite a bit extra) is disappointing. the donut are unique and fun, and the flavor & structure are impressive but were underdone and a bit claggy. Garlic butter on the Sammy was a yummy surprise

    Vegan donut selection

    Came in here on a rainy Sunday around 10am. The line was medium long, but I only waited about 5 minutes to order. I asked for a dirty chai and I ordered one of the vegan donuts they had featured for the weekend. It was a tough choice between the 3 flavors, but I settled on "fall spice" and the only mistake I made there was by just ordering one. That donut was AMAZING. $4 for a vegan donut, but I promise you, it's just the right combo of pillowy and chewy. The glaze was PERFECT. The dirty chai was just as amazing. The right mix of coffee flavor and spicy chai. I loved it. They had a few seats inside, and maybe 4-6 small tables outside. The vegan menu looked pretty decently sized. They had the star wars/darth vader theme going on inside. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be back!

    Blueberry glazed donut & black coffee
    Katelin D.

    Loved this little coffee shop in Polish Hill. I was in the neighborhood and needed to set up for a little bit to work. I stopped in mostly because I saw they have house made donuts. I loved the cake of the donut. While dense to the touch it was soft and doughy to eat. Icing was a bit too artificial tasting for my liking but it was a great donut overall. The cake portion of the donut was my favorite that I've had across town. Coffee was hot. Atmosphere was buzzing! Worth a stop.

    Vegan ham & egg sammy
    Samantha L.

    Kaibur is located in the middle of Polish Hill - just a couple minutes drive from the Strip District. With so many vegan restaurants closing in Pittsburgh recently, I was really excited to get breakfast here when I found out about their vegan options! I ordered the ham & egg sammy which comes with vegan ham and the option of either dairy or vegan cheese/eggs. I got the all vegan version (tofu scramble instead of egg) on wheat bread. Although it's been over 5 years since I've had red meat, I really haven't had vegan ham before and it was quite tasty! The sandwich itself was great as well, though a little messy since I got it for takeout - I'd recommend eating at the shop or eating soon after purchasing!

    Vegan Breakfast Sammy w/ sausage....
    Milo B.

    So, in between visits I needed some breakfast to help me get through the rest of my day and my usual haunt was closed for the Veggie Fest.... In comes Kaibur Cafe, and I was pleased. They have a really nice group of people working and the breakfast 'Sammy' I ordered was delicous. I also ordered a cappuccino which was ok. A little small for the price. I also ordered three vegan donuts ($15!), and a vegan Banana Nut Muffin. They have outdoor seating and there was steady traffic. There is onscreen parking, but it was scarce. All inall, I would come again and I can't wait to order their Seitan steak. Check them out.

    Vegan bacon egg cheese w avocado

    The food was amazing! I was so excited to find somewhere with vegan options for breakfast and this place did not disappoint! Great sandwiches and great coffee (I believe the gentleman also said the almond and oat milks were made right in house!) Very nice service. Will be back!

    When it comes to coffee it has an appealing allure that makes me come back for more.  Whether it's the start my day, or just noon time pleasure. Kaibur coffee offer a wonder variety of your heart's desire weather it be a latte, or a special blend of your own. I ordered my favorite noon time pleasure of an iced Irish Cream. I'd have to say this was amazing & another best so far when it comes to local area competitors serving up some of the best collectible cups of Brew. the way this was mixed had that great symphony of flavor I've come to expect.   Not only is their emphasis on coffee they offer a simple selection of menu items that specializes in offering vegan items. I'm not a vegan myself but these menu by the looks of these pictures on Yelp look like something I'm willing to try. But don't let what I said about a vegan selection put you off as they also offer non vegan items for those who love a sandwiches like their Rubens. Their barista is very friendly helpful greeting each customer that comes in & ready to take their order or as a first timer give the best of recommendations in coffee or additions to your coffee & I did mine with a vegan creamer. Pleasurable at best & this will be getting 5* for the overall experience & neighborhood feel Kaibur is to the Polish hill community. Be sure to like them on FB & tell a friend https://www.facebook.com/kaiburcoffee/

    Vegan Egg Sandwich
    Ellie K.

    I really liked this place. And the outdoor seating was lovely. I got the vegan egg sandwich and the fake eggs weren't half bad at all! The whole sandwich came together wonderfully. My friend got some sort of bowl and the avocado was really good. The eggs were also cooked to perfection. The only draw back was that my sandwich was a bit dry and unindulgent , just could have used a little warmth.

    Hot chai latte
    Kristen E.

    Happening hipster/queer coffeeshop with an impressive food menu and both inside and outside seating. There's even a water bowl for the doggoes. I had a roasted carrot toast with an egg on top and a lovely jasmine tea and thought that the breakfast menu would serve well for brunch or lunch as well. Alas, the internet went down, so I took my laptop elsewhere to finish working.

    Vegan doughnuts
    Jason F.

    I stopped by here this past Sunday morning with my wife for our morning coffee. We found Kaibur Coffee via Yelp and otherwise would have never known this place existed in Polish Hill. The space itself is rather tiny and evokes memories of what you would expect from a very old school neighborhood diner. It was cozy with 3 people working and there was a small lunch counter which wasn't being used since the line was there and then 3 4-tops. They also had some outdoor seating but with the temperature in the teens, it wasn't being used. Lastly, they require a mask for you to enter which with the small space makes sense. For our coffees on this morning both my wife and I decided to go with the honey cinnamon latte. Then I also was eyeing up one of their specials, a spicy chickpea burrito, but since I had just eaten decided to go with one of their blueberry vegan donuts as well. For such a small neighborhood space they actually have quite a bit of vegetarian and vegan stuff which is nice. The wait for our coffees was around 10 minutes and after receiving them we headed back to our car. Once in the car, I immediately tried the doughnut. It was denser than I expected, but still flavorful, especially the blueberry which I could still taste later in the day. After the coffee had cooled down a bit, I was able to try it and I really enjoyed it. The coffee and the milk here were the stars with the honey adding a bit of sweetness while the cinnamon added a bit of flavor as well. Both my wife and I ended up enjoying it. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Both my wife and i enjoyed the coffee and ambiance here and next time I won't eat before I come so that I can try that spicy chickpea burrito.

    Vegan spinach, egg and cheese sandwich

    My lavender oatmilk latte was very nicely flavored & not too sweet. We chose Kaibur Coffee because it seems to be one of the few places in the city where you can get breakfast food that is both vegan and that has gluten free options. However, please take a look at the picture of my sandwich. It is, in fact, half of a sandwich. I had not started eating it yet. Yes, this half of a sandwich was $9 which I find offensive. Thanks.

    Gluten free bread, egg, vegan cheese, vegan ham!
    Olivia R.

    I've been trying to find a breakfast sandwich that I could eat that is gluten-free with vegan meat and vegan cheese and this definitely is the place! The cheese is so creamy and the vegan ham I've never had before it taste delicious I highly recommend this!

    You like traditional goto, must have, sandwich from Pittsburgh? If you do, this place is for you…read more This place was started by Joe Primanti in 1933 to feed shift workers from the local warehouses (coal and iron) and railroads. They are known for big sandwiches which now includes fries and cole slaw. The sandwiches provided value to workers...who were looking for a place to feed themselves to keep their energy up for a long shift. When you sit at the bar and you can only imagine the workers that sat here to feed themselves with what little they had. They found a sandwich between two pieces of soft Italian bread with a good balance of meat, cheese, cole slaw and fries...think energy and value. The history here is real and intense. Would I rate this as a culinary destination? Not particularly but I would say it's a must see to be part of US history as the town righted itself and came to life. The sandwich? I had the pastrami with cole slaw, egg, fries and tomato on Italian bread. Remarkably, the sandwich was light...despite it sounding heavy. The cabbage and tomatoes bring a great balance to the sandwich which makes it messy and remarkably light. Be prepared to get messy..so eat fast! I am probably talking too much about the sandwich...just go try it. The food is probably a 3.5 but it gets the extra .5 for the amazing history there. The service was great...well educated on the product, accommodating in every way. If you are in Pittsburgh, this is a must try.

    The sandwiches were good, so I want to give credit where it's due. Unfortunately, the rest of the…read moreexperience wasn't great. The restaurant itself didn't seem very clean. I had to go across the street to use the restroom because theirs were nasty. It required going down a steep set of stairs, and the women's bathroom floor was wet. There was also a bucket catching brown water dripping from somewhere, which was pretty concerning. The wings and onion rings were just average and didn't really stand out. There are newer locations of this restaurant that I'd recommend instead. Based on my experience, you'll likely have a much better overall visit at one of those locations

We chose to go here instead of making the drive to Chick Fil A on McKnight Road for milkshakes. My daughter & I noticed 1 worker handling food with no gloves on, pulling her hair back to a bun then proceeded to handle the food without 1. Not washing her hands after she handled the food and 2. not putting gloves on to handle the food. I politely asked the employee, do you wear gloves to make milkshakes. She responded, yes we do and she was very polite about it. The other worker came and asked her what I said and she told her. The other worker came to us with MAJOR attitude taking our milkshake orders. She proceeded to say to her co-worker, please pull my hair back because I don't want to hear anyone BITCHING about it. My daughter said, Ma'am, my mom just asked if you wore gloves because she was handling food, she pulled her hair up and then she handled food again without washing her hands nor did she have gloves on. The young lady became extremely upset and shouted.....I AM NOT TALKING TO YOU. At this point, both my daughter and I were shocked. The conversation became heated because we were explaining we asked a simple question and she was very upset, uprupt and rude about how she responded to the situation. I then asked for the manager, she stated she was the manager. I said can I have a conversation with you. She stated 'no you cannot' I am done with it. I asked her, how can you not address a issue that needs to be addressed. She stated again, I'm done talking about it (VERY RUDELY). From the time she started making the milkshakes her attitude was off. And boy, from the taste of the shakes you can tell. They were not good and extremely watered down. There is so much more to this encounter. Such as shame. So much for NOT going to Chick Fil A. We will take the drive the next time. Manager could use managering skills. I'm still so upset.

You have to try one of the signature sandwiches (various meats topped with coleslaw and fries and amazing, thick bread). Something to note is that this isn't a creamy coleslaw. In fact, on its own it doesn't have much flavor (mostly just pepper) but it somehow pairs well with the sandwich. The downside to this location is that they aren't exactly the best at table turnover/cleaning tables and the restaurant itself doesn't feel spotless (like some other locations do). But in a way, it kind of adds to the vibe of the place. There are several parking garages and also on street parking nearby. Nice that it has late hours most evenings (since a lot of downtown restaurants seem to close fairly early). Definitely worth a visit.
