We were gifted the Pittsburgh Coffee Passport for Christmas... and Caffe d'Amore was our first stop! The cafe is nestled in the upper Lawrenceville... where parking is simple and life is slower lol From first glance, this establishment is ready to make you feel right at home. With cute signage everywhere instructing you on there sustainability practices and fun flavors of the month, you go from first time to feeling like a regular instantly. The lattes... were.... DELIGHTFUL. We got a peppermint latte and a vanilla oat milk latte. The flavors were rich but not cloyingly overpowering. We also ordered a breakfast hand pie (why does life not use the term hand pie more often, you just feel so fun ordering one) and an Egg & Cheese Bagel. Both freshly put together and toasted to perfection. It is great when a cafe has actually delicious and intentional food. The staff was more than ready to give their suggestions and help. They kindly announce when your order is ready and wait with a smile to hand it off to you! There were plenty of cute places to sit and the decor was just so.. them. They have a restroom available and well marked as well. We may have a passport full of coffee places to try, but Caffe d'Amore might just have to be a regular spot during the journey anyway!! read more

I ordered a medium latte and was given the smallest size they offer which is a 12 oz. I am very confused how a medium equates to the smallest ounce size. When I asked if they gave me the correct size, I was given attitude and was told I would need to repay the difference. I was fine with doing so if it meant getting the size I actually wanted, so when I went to pay the difference I was told that I had to pay in cash due to a credit card minimum policy. I didn't have any cash so I was forced to take the size I did not want, and the woman at the counter was incredibly rude. It was $6 for the smallest coffee ever and the service was so poor. Save your money and go somewhere else. read more

Cute space, was warm and inviting. The food was ok, tried the lox and it wasn't my favorite, but I would try something else next time. The herbal tea was very good, seemed like it was made in house. Cappuccino was average, had an off taste to it, but would try something different next time. Cute latte art on top though! Very friendly customer service. read more

People and coffee are great! Staple of the neighborhood. This place really brings the community together, not just around coffee, but through providing a safe and comfortable space where everyone is welcome. The market area offers some unique gems and changes up all year. Get excellent coffee equipment here for home use. They have a fridge with farm-fresh eggs and local dairy and a cold brew concentrate that will knock your socks off. If they had better food options they'd be a five-star spot, easy. It's mostly burnt-up pastries and expensive cookies from Piebird next door- dark, dry and too crunchy, definitely skip those. Avoid anything with egg on it, it's a weird sponge-like cake that drips mysterious hot liquid. It's hard to find a place with great coffee and great food under one roof, so I can't fault them too much. It's usually either one or the other, but I think they can crack it! read more

Caffè d’Amore - Very cute space. Homey. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Very cute spot. My daughter loved her matcha lemonade and I found way too many things I want to buy next time.

1 star for the flavor of the espresso macchiato. Five stars for Service and a smile, but since this is a coffee shop that equals two stars. They have free Internet here and a nice space for sitting. The Customer Service was absolutely amazing. They do have free Internet at this coffee shop unlike the one down the street from it. The cookies have too much sugar in them way too sweet. read more

We went here because we were staying in an Airbnb within walking distance and wanted a quick coffee and breakfast. Cute cafe for sure! Coffee was ok?, and bagel sandwich could have definitely been better. For $8, I expected a little more than a cold sandwich(the egg) and a slice of Kraft cheese. My husband who isn't picky at all, said he probs wouldn't not go back. read more

Loved this spot! This was walkable from my Airbnb and I am glad I found it. My husband had to wait outside with the dog but they had seating outside so it was no problem. I got an iced coffee, dirty iced chai, a pierogi hand pie, and an everything bagel with egg and cheese. Honestly, I thought it was a little expensive but the food was so so good. While I waited for everything to be freshly made, I looked around their little shopping area. They had some cute mugs and other trinkets. Along with some bagged coffee. Very cutesy, cozy, eclectic vibes. The hand pie was flaky and filled with potato filling. It was vegan too which makes me happy to see options. The bagel was also very good. Not dry even though I didn't add ketchup. I really liked it. My iced coffee was basic but my husbands iced chai was delightful. I would definitely recommend getting breakfast here, or just hang out here. Such a good find in this neighborhood. read more

On a scale of nonfiction to romance novels, Caffe d'Amore makes me feel like the main character of my own novel. So many details of this coffee shop whisper thoughtful consideration from the menu options to the compostable/non-compostable bins. There's wifi for working, multiple styles of tables to choose from, and just the very best vibe. And how charming that a barista was kind enough to point out that my overalls had a twist in the back, and she helped me fix them. I love good people. *heart* Pictured: Black Pepper Cardamom Latte Not pictured: (Delicious) Hand Pie read more

One of my favorite neighborhood coffee shops, especially because they are so pet friendly (yummy oven baked dog biscuits right when you walk in). The staff is always so sweet and they make hella good lattes! Lavender latte is always our go to. They also make a great scape cream cheese (in their fridge section if in season) and you can purchase a gallon of cream top milk here too! I just love the simplicity of the space and the richness of their coffees. They also support local artists with their wall of gifts and goodies and have a bin for food pantry donations. Thanks to Caffe d' Amore for being a great local business! read more

Congrats on the new location! It's my first time visit to the new location and I love it! They FINALLY reopen the indoor seating area, there is so much space inside and you can hangout with friends, having breakfast and coffee together, which is what I'm going to do next time! Plenty of choices on the food menu, definitely recommend their yogurt parfait and bagels from the local bakery (can't remember the name sry lol) Masks are not required but highly encouraged, the people are friendly, highly recommend if you've never been. read more

Starting to like this place more and more. I went for a photographer's meetup this time and got the maple latte with hummus and pita bread. The hummus is spicy and yummy. The latte was well crafted and looked wonderful, wow. Latte art is such a special thing huh? It was a bit more busy today during our chats. Cheers!!! read more

These folks have perfected the art of the latte. Today on my mid-day break from work I stopped by their new location and was so excited to see how much more space they have! I ordered a pumpkin spice latte and it was delicious - you could taste the real pumpkin which was appreciated. The folks that run this place are really special. They use compostable cups and lids, still wear masks and promote a safe, Covid-free space. They're also always promoting activist activity in the community which I appreciate. They have a loyal customer in me. Drinks are spectacular and the mission of the company is ideal. read more

Came by for a vegan pop-up and could've stayed all day for their awesome lattes! Pictured is a medium salted caramel latte w/ oat milk and a small black pepper cardamom latte w/ oat milk. They were simply DIVINE. The whole place has an awesome atmosphere with lots of cool things to check out and goodies to purchase. I really dug it. Plus the comfy couch seating is always a win. The pop-up itself was awesome, we had some delicious food and made new friends! Can't complain about that. Plus the servers and staff were all so friendly and adaptable to the large, hungry crowd. Kudos! read more

Cute coffee shop in Lawrenceville. Great selection of coffee and teas as well as baked goods. I think there was an additional food menu available too, but I only stopped in for a coffee. The crowd seemed to be a mix of first dates and people studying/working. Overall, my exact kind of vibe for a coffee shop - will be back! read more

I'm in here several times a week since my office is a half block away. They have a lot of great coffees, teas, gluten-free and vegan desserts here. I usually get my drinks and treats to go. My favorite is the lavender lemonade. I do like when I stay at the shop because then my drink is served in a Mason jar. The former bookstore that was once part of the shop is now a vintage store with seating as well. read more

Had a great experience here at Caffe d'Amore. Limited capacity inside, so we waited outside and sat on their bench until the 2 customers in front of us left. I got a matcha latte that was one of the best I've had recently. I liked how smooth and creamy it was. The hot chocolate was also quite nice on this chilly winter day. read more

First, the frustrating obstacles (over which Caffè d'amore has no control): Construction makes finding street parking even more daunting than is standard for Larryville, so be prepared for that struggle. But your persistence will be rewarded once you enter the front door. As others have noted, the vibe here is perfect for sitting and enjoying a coffee (the americano I ordered was rich and robust and ideal for a brisk late-summer morning) and pastry. (Limited selection of the latter, but a sign indicates a transfer to a new baked-goods vendor. Can't wait to return for that, although the muffin I got was perfectly delish.) There are many cafés between home and Butler Street, but this is my new fave (frustrating traffic/pkg notwithstanding), in large part bc of the friendly staff. Even as the practice of tipping becomes more contentious and confounding, I wish I could have been more generous today--the service here merited my digging a little deeper into my gratuity pocket. Thanks! I'll be back soon. read more

Can't complain about the coffee, it's pretty good and the maple latte is fun if you feel like something on the sweeter side. A great location in Lawrenceville close to my house so it's easy to stop in for coffee on foot. If you're driving, parking can be tough. The staff however, is just so unpleasant. I have never had such bad experiences at the same place repeatedly. I am not a demanding customer by any means, but every time I order i feel like I'm inconveniencing the barista. The last time I went to order she made eye contact with me and then went back to her phone. I was standing there for quite sometime before saying "excuse me may i place an order" only to be met with an exasperated sigh and an eye roll that was meant to be seen. I know everyone has bad days, but i keep getting the same service from this barista and it's just not worth dealing with for a latte. read more

The coffee was really good!! The only thing lacking was the lady behind the counter, she was a little rude to my boyfriend and I. Not friendly and a bit of an attitude. It was still a cute space. Maybe she was having a bad day?? Or it was close to closing time? We met up with a friend we haven't seen in awhile, so maybe we were too loud?? read more

I have been here more than 20 times. Over the past several years have made a deliberate effort to visit coffeehouses throughout Pittsburgh including de fer, KLVN, espresso a mano. Overall I like d'amore more than all other coffeehouses/cafes I have visited in Pittsburgh. Here are some pros/cons of Caffe d'Amore: Pros: +Espresso drinks are consistently exceptional (props to the baristas and product sourcing). +Seating is comfortable, quirky, tasteful, and not designed to shorten your stay. +Music is not too loud to be able to block it out if you are working (often egregious at other cafes). +They clearly care about supporting local business, creating a welcoming atmosphere, and minimizing waste. +Food and treat options are above average. Cons: -There is one not very good barista, doesn't seem to work a ton. read more

The coffee is great! Tasty and delish. Unfortunately, I've been here a few times and have interacted with some staff who had a rude and tepid response with the customers. I'm a strong believer in being kind costs $0.00, and some of the employees have nasty attitudes for no reason ‍ whatevs. read more

ARE YOU A lOcALe!? This place makes sure you are right at home immediately. This place is a proud establishment in Lawrenceville and femme owned! I love to catch the owner conspiring for a new project to better the community or offer the coffee space up for folks who want to organize around a good cause. The roast here is always unique and different front anywhere else in the city. Socially conscious coffee drinking at its finest in the 'burgh These folks also partner with the 52nd Street Market to being you snacks and goodies all locally made! read more

We are so grateful that there is such an amazing coffee shop so close to our house.

One of my new favorite coffee shops! Great atmosphere for studying, as they have tables, couches, and counter space galore to choose from. The space also serves as a mini retro furniture, art, and clothing consignment shop. It made for very funky decoration and I even almost bought one of the dresses. The coffee was quite good and they served it in an adorable mason jar with a little coozy (see pic). They have a reusable mason jar system where if you bring in one of their glasses you get a discount on your coffee! They had several delicious looking pastries for sale and the wifi password was taped to every table- what more could you ask for? read more

I stopped by here yesterday with my wife for our morning coffee. We had both been past Caffe D'amore before but neither one of us had ever really noticed it. However, it was on the Pittsburgh Coffee Passport and so we decided to head out and visit it. It's located right on Butler St across 54th St from Cure. The inside of it is warm and friendly with the walls painted both red and brown. There is a bar with seating for about 6 or so and a couple other of tables both inside and out. For my coffee on this morning I decided to try a maple latte while my wife went with the americano. On my very first sip I thought that the coffee tasted a little bitter but it was almost immediately corrected by the maple and made me wonder if they did this on purpose. Even if it wasn't on purpose it really worked well here and I enjoyed the maple sweetening the coffee and milk. We also decided to order a pear, blue cheese and bacon on brioche while we were here which was made for Caffe D'Amore by the 52nd street market. The sandwich itself was really good and was dominated by an abundance of blue cheese which both my wife and I loved. Meanwhile the pear gave it some sweetness while the bacon added some salt to the sandwich. Last but certainly not least was the brioche which had a nice and crunchy exterior and soft interior. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. My wife and I both enjoyed the coffee and the food. read more

This is a great little coffee shop in Lawrenceville with great people! I'm a tea drinker and the selection is very good loose leaf tea. The hot chocolate is a favorite of those I've gone with and others have said how good the coffee is too. There are a few outdoor tables on the sidewalk to enjoy. The only downfall is the indoor seating is pretty limited so going to do work or read might be hit or miss. The connection to the book store is lovely - great to see two small businesses in one location! read more

This was my first visit to this tiny coffee shop located in Upper Lawrenceville. They usually have a special of the day. Today it was mocha. I opted for the Ethiopian blend which is a medium roast. The coffee comes as 8 oz or 12 oz and you can opt to have it in a mason jar. Should you wish to purchase the jar for $1.00, every time you come back with it you will receive $.25 off your next cup. My coffee was indeed very good and I noticed that they are environmentally friendly. Many of their baked goods now come from Chateau Cake and cakery over on the Northside. Twice a week they get vegan donuts from Relish.Their tea is supplied by Dobra teas located in Squirrel Hill. Other beverages including hot chocolate are for sale as well. The counter lady explained to me that their coffee comes from a roaster in Cincinnati, Ohio named "Deeper Root." The business shares space with a neighboring bookstore called "Nine stories" but they weren't open yet as of my visit. They have counter top and a few table seating available. Among their other products they sell "shrub" syrups in mason jars for mixed drinks. Free WiFi is available and if needed you may use the gender neutral restroom located in the bookstore. I am truly blown away by the fact that they make use of everything including composting, recycling and other environmental friendly material. I did not stay for lunch but they get their sandwiches from the 52nd St Market a few doors down. Free parking is available in this end of town. This is truly an amazing place to visit and great location without having to make the long trek to central Lawrenceville for coffee or tea. read more

Super kind, helpful staff and delicious coffee and tea. The barista recommended the Kenyan pour over coffee and it was amazing. Great flavor. There aren't a lot of places to work but there are about 6 spots at the bar and a booth at the back. They also have free wifi. My only complaint is that someone was either pressing or blending juices behind me and it was extremely loud. I didn't mind the loudness because I had headphones. In addition, the red juice was splattering everywhere and even got onto my computer. It would be nice if they put up a guard so that the juice (which stains) doesn't splatter. read more

These folks make awesome coffee. Their salted caramel latte is absolutely divine. I normally don't drink sweetened lattes, but this one is something special. My absolute favorite cold brew in town, also. You can get an excellent cup to go, and you can buy a jar of cold brew concentrate, which I personally think is a screaming great deal for the quality of concentrate. They have rotating blends, too, so it's always a nice surprise. One 32 oz jar gets me a week of morning cold brew drinks at home, and they give me a 50¢ credit when I bring the jar back. I also have to say they seem to really care about the safety of their employees and customers. Masks are mandatory for customers and staff, and there is no indoor consumption for the time being. I look forward to when they can continue on-site seating, but until then I'll keep coming back for the excellent coffee. My mornings aren't the same without using their cold brew concentrate in something tasty. read more
