I stopped by here this past Sunday with my wife for our morning coffee. We have been trying to hit up a different local coffee shop every Sunday morning and on this day we decided to head to Adesso Cafe. It's located in Sewickley on Walnut street right off Broadway. The shop itself is tiny and whenever I got inside there was a cop and a lady with a dog. The 3 (or 4) of us filled up the waiting/ordering area. There was a freezer case filled with Leona's ice cream sandwiches and then a display cooler with cold drinks in it. Lastly they had a clear shelf on the counter with some muffins in it. I was a little sad it wasn't filled with the pastries I had seen photos of, but I guess it wasn't the right day. After looking at the menu I decided to order a 16 oz Cuban while my wife went with a 12 oz mocha. Since the others had already been waited on, it took only a few minutes and we had our coffees and were on our way. My Cuban ended up being quite good as it had the perfect amount of sweetness to it that it complimented the milk and coffee without overpowering it. Then the coffee itself was strong and rich while the milk did it's part. My wife also really enjoyed her mocha from here. The bottom line for me is that I would stop by here again in the future. Both of our coffees were good and i hope that the next time that we stop by that they have some pastries as well. read more

Adesso Cafe - two coffee cups on a table - Cafes Near Me - Sewickley, Pennsylvania

First time here and wow their cappuccino lived up to all the reviews I read. Received some gift cards for this place but never made the time to get there. I didn't have my gift cards with me today but decided it was time to treat myself anyway. I had the Cappuccino- it was strong and hot! I love when my coffee is made at a high temperature and I don't know anyone who prefers that, but clearly the baristas make their drinks at the "right" temperature. There is a very little room once inside. I was one of 3 patrons there but it was fine for me and they make their drinks pretty fast. I will come back again and try their other drink items. read more

We stopped by this morning, I've been wanting to try them for awhile and I'm so glad I did! The coffee is strong and smooth, it was so delicious! My partner and I absolutely love trying new local coffee shops and this is a lil hidden gem! Frank was really sweet as well! We will definitely be coming back! read more

It's remarkable how tiny this coffee shop is, but even more remarkable how great their coffee and food are. There's nothing chain about this place, just quality product and friendly service. The scones are incredible, really gourmet. But wait, there's more. Adesso now serves Millie's ice cream. read more

Adesso Cafe - Cafes Near Me - Sewickley, Pennsylvania

The best dirty chai in Sewickley! I always enjoy stopping by for a tea or hot Chai! Everyone is so friendly!

Adesso Cafe is a small grab and go that carries many of the food and beverage offerings you would find throughout the Pittsburgh. The coffee comes from Commonplace coffee and the espresso comes from LaPrima Espresso in the Strip District. The inside is very small so it is really designed for grab and go. Grab and go vegan food is available from Reed and Company in Lawrenceville. Baked goods come from LaGourmandine in Mt Lebanon and from Truly Wize bakery in Greensburg. Truly Wize carries both gluten free and some vegan desserts. Check the box carefully if you have concerns. The ice cream comes from Millie's in Shadyside however, it is served in small cup containers with a spoon or 4 oz containers. There is no scooped ice cream. Selection was limited since there was a big rush after Memorial Day. They now carry Leona's ice cream from Wilkinsburg. I have had pretty much all these things on previous visits to these stores and I will admit all of them are very good! Therefore I decided to get the chocolate gluten free vegan cake from Truly Wize bakery. For $3.00 you can't go wrong. The desserts are carefully packaged for take out. Outside there are a few tables and high tops if you want to enjoy your purchase while in the area. I must admit I loved every bite of this cake and was very pleased with my selection. I love the fact that this little cafe gives a great composite of some of the best coffees, teas, pastries, and food the city has to offer in the Sewickley neighborhood. Located on Walnut St in the town's business district metered street parking is available. read more

See all

Favorite coffee place in Sewickley! Iced coffee is my go to and their pastries are always top notch! Frank and his staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Small shop to grab and go and a few seats outside. read more

Adesso Cafe - Iced coffee - Cafes Near Me - Sewickley, Pennsylvania

The best place in the area for espresso. Knowledgeable and friendly baristi. A few outdoor seats for when the weather is favorable- which it always is when the coffee is good! read more

Closes on random days. Coffee cups leak - get cups that do not leak- not very clean and coffee tasted stale.

My boyfriend and I have walked there many times and we love it! Super down to earth staff who will have a conversation with you! Would always say we will go back! read more

This place is the real deal. I throughly enjoy stopping by on the regular to get a latte or cappuccino. You can taste the quality of their ingredients. The staff is always friendly, talkative and gets your order right. The space is small but it's intended to be. Reminds me of the cafes in Italy where one stops by for the morning espresso and leaves shortly after. Not really a place to linger ( unless you venture outside to the tables.) I will continue to support this local business and their awesome espresso and coffee :) read more

The best place for coffee in Sewickley. The staff is welcoming & always has treats for the 4 leggedgood boys and girls that stop in as well. The price is right, coffee is perfect and not burnt like your big chains and offers a European like atmosphere. I enjoy the standing room only & few tables outside. Do yourself a favor & stop in! read more

The best coffee in Sewickley. Do not expect to walk inside and sit down in the shop. This is a grab and sit outside or go type of place. We love the owner and the entire staff. They are so friendly . read more

Local, fresh and a great owner! Adesso is the only coffee spot worth your time in Sewickley. Great place to get freshly roasted beans, whole or ground. read more

Delicious coffee, gluten free pastry options, and lunch food coming soon!! The only drawback is that there is no seating but it does make sense with the name. The man behind the counter was great! Told me that the lunch food should start within two weeks. And he said that La Gourmanadine baked goods comes Wednesday's and Saturday's. I just got a cup of drip coffee but can't wait to go back! read more

Adesso Cafe - cars parked in front of the restaurant - Cafes Near Me - Sewickley, Pennsylvania

We love Adesso! It's been a frequent for us during Quarantine since we're working from home and Frank is always so kind when we go in! A great small town coffee shop! read more

My mother is from Italy. As a kid we used to go back every year and there was a small, in & out, sidewalk front coffee shop that we used to get espresso and a pastry. The personal touch of this shop, their pastries, their fantastically made coffee drinks - they all bring me back to those moments in Italy as a child. Go there and get an espresso drink and a pastry and sit outside at one of Adesso's sidewalk tables. I'm not saying that your life will change, but it might.... Thanks Frank for a truly great authentic cafe bar! read more

Best espresso drinks period. Frank knows coffee. We also left with a pound of coffee for home.

This place is a YES. Skip the corporate giant and treat yourself to a new local business. My coworker visits Italy every year and she's usually a broken record of complaining about whatever espresso drinks she gets around here. This place finally shut her up, so that's saying something. Best cappuccino in Beaver County, comparable to something you'd get in the strip. Ask them to steam a little sugar in with the milk. Fab coffee and espresso drinks, friendly atmosphere and owners, great selection of pastries and snacks to go with your drinks. Died and went to butter heaven with the scone I'm currently shoving in my face. I'll update my review when they get some lunch items, which are coming soon. read more

The best coffee shop in the Sewickley area. The owner, Frank, treats you like he has known you a lifetime (even if he just met you!). Great customer service and high quality product. read more

Frank, the owner, makes it a point to know you. The coffee is well roasted, fresh & the perfect temperature point. His take on a Cuban is unique and well worth the visit. This is not a place to hang out, but a place to get the best coffee and the kindness in all of Sewickley. read more

Absolutely amazing!! Best cafe in all of Pittsburgh!! Supper cool place, definitely would recommend highly.

Wound up in this little town by chance, wanted a cup of coffee. Took a chance on this miniscule place (no indoor seating). Normally I roll my eyes when they start hitting you with the "locally-sourced", "artisanal" yadda-yadda, whatever, just give me my drink. Got it back to my car - it was incredible! Simply the best coffee I've had. Went back for another cup and some outstanding paleo treats. PLEASE support this gem - I'll be back in a year and would be crushed if they are no longer in business... read more

Great local coffee shop with superb tasting coffee and a great owner! So much better than the local chain coffee shops!! Support small business Sewickley!! read more

I happened to be passing through the area, and decided to stop by Adesso for my daily coffee fix. And so glad I did. This is a remarkable place, and proves hands down that a small business run with care and passion can provide a product superior in every way to the corporate giants that dot the landscape. The service is excellent, the prices remarkable, and the quality is second to none. If you live in the area, or are just passing through as I was, put Adesso on your must visit list. You'll have no regrets. read more

Frank the owner was super warming and friendly! Have a nice long chat with him as he explained his offerings and other recommendations. Our hot and cold lattes were also delicious and smooth! Will definitely be back. read more

Such a lovely little nook coffee shop! Frank is darling and loves dogs! His coffee is great... what a wonderful addition Adesso is to our little town of Sewickley. read more

It was my first visit and it was a Saturday. I knew they served La Gourmandine pastries but unfortunately they hadn't been delivered yet to the cafe. I liked the interior, it is a small space so it can be confusing who is waiting to order, who is waiting for their order and who is just standing there chatting. I ordered a cappuccino. It was an uncommon flavor that is delicious. I would return just for that unique flavor. It was a bit heavy for a cappuccino, more like a latte but the espresso strength was really good and stood up to all the milk. I'll have to come later in the day to have a chance at a pastry. read more

I've been here 3 times and the coffee has been delicious every single time. The owner is super friendly too and even remembered my order after only being there once! Love it! read more

Adesso Cafe serves soul-warmingly good coffee and quality pastries from one of the best French bakeries in town. The baristas are always friendly. It's tiny, so there's no place to sit besides the bistro tables outside when it's nice out. However, that doesn't stop me from blowing through here every so often for a great cuppa and something decadent. read more

This is just a tiny coffee shop on a side street in Sewickley, but it is so worth looking for. The coffee is very good and it's very reasonably priced. There are two coffee flavors everyday and they rotate frequently. They also have pastries from Mediterra Bakery. There is no seating. Must stop in to try this independent coffee shop!! read more

This place is not only the best coffee joint in Sewickley, but also a lovely community staple. Every morning I grab a cup of coffee with my dog Jackson, and we are greeted with Franks warm smile and great conversation. Not only do I get a treat (deliciously crafted coffee) but Jackson fills his belly with a rapid fire of treats. Adesso provides great coffee and because of their incredibly warm staff, is wonderful expierence every time. Franks contribution to building a wonderful community through coffee, treats and friendship is unmatched. read more

Sewickley is a cute little boutique town plagued with two chain coffee shops. It is about time a good coffee shop came to town. Yay for Adesso! Adesso serves up a good cuppa with a variety of preparations to choose from. A limited selection of bakery items were available but I was just in it for the coffee. I had the Cuban coffer which was super. One word of caution, Adesso is tiny and has no indoor seating. Not the best spot for a leisurely cup of coffee if the weather is poor. read more

Outstanding coffee. Highly recommend the cinnamon scone. Very friendly service. Skip over Starbucks and hit up this lovely local joint.

best coffee i've had hands down. the owners are super nice and gave me a complimentary energy bites. i loved the feel of it in there very comfortable feeling in there. read more

Tiger spice Chai? Fair trade espresso? I'm in love. I'm a very picky coffee gal and this rivals my hometown favorite. The owner is also super friendly which wins mega points. Didn't get a chance to try any food but it looked scrumptious. Tons of no bs power bars to boot. This place is a win! read more

A hidden gem in Sewickley. I haven't stepped foot in Starbucks since finding this place. Try the breakfast pastries. You won't regret it!

Absolutely the greatest coffee shop in all of PA. My friends and I love trying new places, and Adesso is by far the greatest. Frank is an amazing guy. Friendly, helpful, and always makes an incredible drink. read more

Coffee is amazing! Gluuteny treats! Custom juices from Salud! We are so happy to have Adesso Cafe in Sewickley!!!!

I live in Sewickley and, through my business travels, have had the opportunity to visit many coffee shops throughout the country. Adesso has the best coffee by far. Need I say more.? read more
