Tried this place for a 1:1 meeting and it was cute, quaint, and delicious. Located beside Peace Love and Donuts, this shop is very tiny but they serve sweet treats and coffee. The menu and style somewhat remind me of a coffee shop that you'd find in Lawrenceville. Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts dominate this area due to the large number of college students. So it's nice to see independent coffee shops. At the time I went, they only had window seating and one table with a few chairs; I hope they get more seating. I'll definitely go back as the coffee was good, the service was satisfactory, and I will always support independent shops. read more

Very small inside with only one long table and a few stools by the front window, so just know that if you plan to hang out for a while. But the lattes are great and I loved the cool leaf design. The worker said they do a taco bar on Fridays which we thought was a random pairing with coffee and caffeine but hey, who doesn't love fresh tacos? read more

Redhawk Coffee - Vanilla latte. I couldn't wait to drink it so I blurred the leaf design a bit... - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Love this place. I've come here three days in a row for coffee during a meeting I had in Pitt. The staff is very friendly and great with large orders. I much rather support a smaller coffee shop than Starbucks. AND their coffee is great! And reasonably affordable. read more

Love this place and the coffee is so good! I don't usually care for being a coffee snob but I honestly can drink it black because it's so good. Expected prices to be too high for me but they are really fair. Medium coffee is $2 and lattes are $3-4. It's also great to support the new business. Highly recommend trying this out and supporting the local business. read more

Redhawk Coffee - Latte - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Great COFFEE place. Really liked their attention to detail. When I ordered a double espresso they asked if Id like some sparkling water with the espresso at no additional charge. Great vibe, lots of Pitt students there. I look forward to going back. One knock but at the same time I think it adds to its charm is that there isnt much seating...but hey, at least this way we get to meet new people. :) read more

Can't believe there is an independent and FRIENDLY coffee shop in Oakland! Not snobby at all-- nice and light inside, they will toast bagels for you, serious about coffee-- roasted in Lancaster PA. Oat milk and almond milk options. read more

Cute little coffee shop with delicious drip coffee and lattes. Located the street below the Omni!

I never leave reviews, but I had to for this place. My boyfriend and I went there for the first time and were unpleasantly surprised. I got a matcha latte that was just alright and he got cold brew that tasted like gasoline. He and I both drink a lot of cold brew and that is NOT what it's supposed to taste like. We only tried two items on the menu but from those alone, I would not go back, nor recommend this joint read more

The coffee is really good and the staff that I have interacted with have been cool. The space is limited in size, so sometimes there will be nowhere to sit. The regular hot lattes are very good and I have enjoyed their mocha as well. I would definitely recommend coming here, just make sure you are not dead-set on finding a seat right away. read more

Awesome new coffee place. We have lots of coffee shops around here already, but this place is my new favorite. A little pricey but worth every penny. I never get a place to sit, so adding more seating would be good. read more

Cute little coffee spot. They don't really serve food. Just some bagels and basic pastries. But good coffee.

Pleasant little standalone coffee shop that's open and that's near Pitt campus ftw? No, but actually this is probably the first of its own that's actually very accessible to students between classes. Though it's a bit on the small side (hard to find a seat when it's busy/full), this place serves up some legit coffee. Tried a Vietnamese Cold Brew since I found the name intriguing and it's as good as it gets. As cold brew implies, it skimps on the cream & sugar but I found such more than satisfying and one of the better cold brews I've had in recent history. They also sell your standard fare of espresso-based drinks, pastries, and oh did I mention ... ice cream sandwiches (Leona's), which not only come in interesting flavors but is rather dope in taste as well. Perfect place for getting a cup of joe. Would highly recommend a visit! read more

You should check them out! Right in Oakland and they are better than other places near by. Give a small business a chance and just try them you won't regret it I promise. read more

So glad this place just opened up on campus as a new alternative to Starbucks! I stopped in yesterday for an iced latte to go. The owners are very friendly and the cafe, while small, is nicely decorated and there is enough seating/tables there if you want to settle in and get some work done. They also have fresh pastries from La Gourmandine in Lawrenceville which is a huge plus :) The coffee was really delicious and they even used fresh milk straight from a milk jar! It was just strong enough without being bitter, and the prices are pretty fair as well. I will definitely be making this my go-to for coffee in Oakland. read more

This place is amazing. Every time I have had a coffee here, it's been great. Can't say the same about most other places in Pittsburgh (or even Seattle). read more

As someone who isn't into coffee, Redhawk was definitely the place to be. With a striking red door that caught my eye on the way to class, Redhawk also have a very aesthetic appearance on the inside as well. Seating was minimal and seemed like most people would grab and go. The baristas were informative and made very pleasant conversation giving this small place an even more friendly feel. After deciding on an oat milk latte, the baristas made all the drinks quickly and beautifully. As for the coffee, the latte was tasteful and prepared with care. I could see coffee enthusiasts be more critical, however, I don't have much knowledge and just thought the taste was much better than most coffees I've had before. read more

Fast service and great lattes! They can also make them non-dairy. Not much seating inside but they get you in and out quick. I will be back!

I have been to this small coffee shop near Pitt like three times in a row. The interior is very simple and work friendly although there aren't a ton of seats. I do think they utilize the space very well. I can tell they take their coffee very seriously. I tried their cortado and it has been one of the best cortados i have had in awhile. I also tried their vietnamese cold brew and it was pretty good (i kind of wanted more condensed milk but that is okay). Their blackberry bar (?) is pretty good too. Also, the staff is very welcoming. read more

Fantastic coffee and in a great location in Oakland. It's great to finally have a high quality coffee option in the Oakland area. read more

adorable little spot for coffee! I have tried cold brew and matcha from here - both delicious! PS if you are dairy free, they have different dairy free milk options including Oatly oat milk! Yum! read more

Every time I am in Pittsburgh I try to find new local coffee shops to try. Redhawk keeps me coming back! I love it. It's so smooth and delicious. I am so happy I found them! It now my go to place! read more

Cozy little shop with nice selection of coffee drinks and a few pastries to snack on. Try the Cortada... Fun welcoming vibe, and a great place to meet a friend or just hang for a bit. read more

Great local coffee shop to patronize. I was on business in town from Milwaukee and found this location. Got some excellent coffee from the counterman and told me really enjoys working there. It will be my go to place in the future if I was a local this place would be jammed with neighborhood customers. read more

I liked the Aeropress coffee, they have different varieties of coffee beans to chose from. The barista is super friendly and knowledgeable. :) read more

I love this place. I literally finished my iced mocha within five minutes, it was too good to stop drinking. People were extremely friendly. Although the space is quite small but COFFEE is the point. read more

Fun yupster vibe. Great baristas, great cappuccino. So many milk options. Highly recommend!

Favorite coffee in the whole city. The shop is small but the vibe is amazing and the coffee even better. Get a drip coffee or an espresso drink or even a hand prepared option like an AeroPress. read more

Longtime customer and have never once been dissapointed. Wonderfully friendly people, a great atmosphere, easy to get to considering it's in the city, and some of the best quality espresso I've ever had that wasn't hand ground and pulled. I found this place specifically because of the reviews and it does not dissapointe. Another note is they have caffeine free hot beverage options, my buddy can't drink caffeine and he was still able to enjoy the place to it's fullest, which was a pleasent surprise. read more

Best coffee in oakland, and a fair price, way better than waiting in line for expensive coffee at starbucks or in one of the on campus coffee shops. The people their make you feel like you are a regular even if it is your first time in. They are super knowledgeable and happy to talk to you about different coffee drinks if you aren't sure what to get. read more

I wish I lived in Oakland so I could have this coffee everyday. Exceptional coffee with cool vibe and awesome staff.

I got a mocha to go and was not disappointed. The barista was very friendly and made a great shot of espresso. The shop didn't have a lot of sitting, so you might have a hard time hanging out it studying during a busy time. Will definitely come back when I am in town! read more

Finally a great coffee shop in Oakland! Thoroughly enjoyed their cold brew. Would recommend for the great atmosphere as well. read more

I can see why this place has a 5 star rating. The ambience here is great. Came here for a minute for a business deal and got some coffee. The lattes had a unique taste that I'm not use to where I'm from. This place stands out and I hope they don't go anywhere! I plan on coming back here for a vanilla latte soon! read more

Not much needs said about Redhawk beyond it being the best coffee shop in the city. They're always brewing something good from a PA roaster such as Little Amps or Klvn. They also carry bagels from Pigeon bagels which are killer. New customers won't be disappointed! read more

Obviously everybody loves this place, and with good reason. Had a well made cappuccino there today, in a ceramic cup, served with a little spoon. Staff handled the post-lunch rush well too. Good buzz to the place, with a number of Europeans who obviously like the coffee too. read more

Such a cute and quaint shop! Their coffee is fantastic and their employees are extremely nice! I don't find their prices outrageous either, which can be the case with smaller coffee shops. It's definitely somewhere I will be going to a lot more frequently. The only downside is that it's pretty small inside and can get a bit crowded, so you may not get a seat. If you do get a seat though, it is so nice to sit inside and watch customers come and go and just enjoy the cozy and friendly atmosphere. Lovely coffee shop! read more

Nice to see real coffee in Oakland. Had a very nice macchiato at the bar and took a cappuccino to go for my wife. Both were expertly prepared with wonderful crema in the espresso. Place is cozy so I can imagine finding a place to sit can be a problem if you are looking to hangout. read more
