Breakfast was amazing - I'm really glad I gave it a try. The eggs were fantastic and the cheese was great too. It's a super cool vibe for a food truck. The staff was really nice and helped other people out if they needed a hand making a decision. Next time, I'm definitely going to try the dulce de leche caramel latte! read more

Colombino makes amazing coffee, has the best music playing, and a super friendly staff. I got a dirty chai latte with oat milk and it was not only gigantic, but reasonably priced at $7. It was also delicious. Can't wait to go back and try other things! read more

Colombino - Dirty Chai Spice Latte - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Highly recommend! Such a convenient stop right along Butler Street. Service was quick and friendly, and they have a good variety of food and drinks available. I went with a vanilla latte and the breakfast arepa. The green chimi sauce was so delicious. I will definitely be back to try some of their other menu items, the empanadas specifically! read more

Solid spot for Colombian food. Not too many places that sell this type of food in the area, and it's nice to see a small shop like this out in the Strip District. The service is quite quick and friendly. I tried out their arepa with plantain and cheese arepa, cheese bread, and empanadas colombianos. The cheese bread is a classic for Brazilian (and I suppose Colombian) places so it did not disappoint! Decent portion, nice chewy texture. It was what I wanted from this order. I ordered it with caramel sauce which made a near dessert out of this cheese bread. The empanadas Colombianos were a bit of a disappointment though. They were very hard and too crunchy. There might have been a bit of some kind of meat in there but lots of potato, which was a nice filling. It went well with the green side sauce, which was very fresh and flavorful. Side definitely saved these little empanadas (They are almost bite sized). My favorite item was the plantain and cheese arepa. First time I tried arepas, they were disappointing, but this place makes them delicious. The plantain is lightly sweet and cheese is stringy. Nice topping and very flavorful. All in all, a solid little Colombian place. It's easy to stop by and get a nice snack or breakfast when in the Strip District. read more

I stopped by here awhile ago now with my wife for our morning coffee. On Sundays we try to hit up local coffee places and on this Sunday our choice happened to be Columbino. It is a small stand located on the sidewalk right outside Reyna Foods on Penn Ave in the heart of the strip district. I had actually noticed it the last time I was in the strip district and was excited to see that they had empanadas and other food as well as coffee. On this morning I ordered myself a macadamia latte and my wife a mocca with real cacao. I also tried to order both the empanadas and the artisanal cheese bread but the cheese bread was being baked at that time and the empanadas weren't going to be baked until after that. Since I was excited about trying them it was a little disappointing but sometimes things like that happen. Beyond that I also ordered a drinking hot chocolate for my father in law and a cappicino for my mother in law. Since there was only one person working, it took about 15 minutes or so for our drinks to be made and ready which seemed a bit long. I think she was taking her time making them so that the artisanal cheese bread would be finished by the time the drinks were. Of course it could also be that these drinks were not your normal coffee drinks. In any case, I eventually had the cheese bread and all of the drinks in a carrier and I was off with them all to my waiting ride. The first thing that I tried once in the car was the pan de queso (cheese bread) since it was freshly baked. On my first bite I was surprised by the inside texture which was almost gummy like. That's not saying it's a bad thing as I think that's the texture it's supposed to be which was quite interesting. The more that I ate of it the more I ended up liking it and the cheese flavor started coming in more and more. After finishing those I tried my macadamia latte which the menu described as made from scratch with artisanal nut butters with Pamela raw sugar. I will have to say that it's unlike any latte I have had before. First off there were still tiny shards of macadamia nut in it which surprisingly worked for me. Then the nut butter itself gave a nice macadamia flavor and the extra spices were nice too. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Both the food and the coffee were unlike anything else I have had in Pittsburgh and both were good too! read more

I ordered arepas. They were really good but I found them to be very pricey for what I got. Also I wish they had more vegetarian options. This place also serves good coffee. Service as expected. read more

I don't even know what to say about this place besides that I am sooo mad that I didn't know about it sooner! We went for cold brew and of course couldn't not order food once we were surrounded by the delicious smells! The empanadas are superb. The crust is so crunchy and delicious. I've had a lot of empanadas in my day and their filling is really unique and I could probably eat a tray of them *chefs kiss* but the dipping sauce it comes with is literally out of this world. I need a jar of it. The Pan De Queso was also really really good. It came with dulce de leche dipping sauce and again very uniquely different than most dulce de leches that I've tried. This place seriously has its own flavors on regular classics and I am so happy that I am within a 8 minute drive of this place. Staff was super friendly and you can't beat being in the heart of the strip for some good people watching while you munch! I can't wait to try the guava and cheese croissant and the dulce de leche hot chocolate on my next visit! read more

I had been seeing ads for this place on Instagram constantly and always thought that it was some corporate company advertising Colombian coffee. Then, I stumbled upon it in the Strip District neighborhood in Pittsburgh, and it was fate. To begin, the man and the woman both waiting on me were extremely kind and informative on what each item was like. This was helpful as I had never really eaten or tried many things from Colombia. I settled with the coconut limeade, and it was perfect on that hot day. Excellent taste-- not too sweet nor sour! I also had an order of pão de queixo (their Colombian version, of course!). They were hot and fresh and tasted amazing. This place is a simple stall right outside of the Mexican grocer. It is easy to miss as it just looks like a normal food stall. However, they offer many specialties, and I am already itching to return! read more

When your first bite of an empanada is so delicious that you're immediately prompted to pull out your phone and yelp it? Yeah, that happened. Drinking chocolate also delicious, smooth, and not too over the top! The classic arepa was a little rich for my taste, but I also wasn't able to eat it right away so it may have been better hot! read more

Incredibly happy to see that this location didn't stay vacant for long. Great seating (nice outdoor space too), excellent coffee, and the breakfast arepa is awesome! read more

Yummmmmm. I have never tried pan de queso - so glad I did! The guava jam put it over the top. I will be craving this forever. Empanadas were utter perfection, and the salsa verde they served them with was fresh and potent. Wish I had tried the drinking chocolate - next time! read more

In town for long weekend. Wanted to try Colombino arepas and hot chocolate on Monday morning. Problem was that they never opened. I know I know...it was Monday morning. If you are not open Please Update published hours and hours on Yelp. read more

Stopped by a couple of times. Good coffee. Good smoothies and really enjoyed the egg and cheese arepas.

Colombino's coffee is some of the best I have tasted so I now have a subscription! I especially like their business model of directly helping farmers. read more

I happened upon this stall when I had to use the atm at the strip and was needing some coffee and food. The spot is by the mexican grocery and the old Reyna's entrance. The owner is very welcoming! I got the farmer's cold brew (some half and half + spices) which was delicious. The highlight of my visit was the green salsa side to the empanada I got. He explained that it was a traditional mix from his home country made of cilantro, onion, peppers, etc. I'm definitely coming back to try the arepas next time. I did think it was on the pricier side for the spot but the quality was top notch. read more

Unreliable. The hours of this coffee shop are really only a rough guideline. I went there right before 4 PM, and the two people in the store front said that they were closed even though the store hours say it should be open till 5 PM. I mean typically stores are open for business as per the hours mentioned. read more

Get the pan de queso! Tbh we get both the guava and the dolce de leche dips & it is such a perfect pairing with your coffee! All the coffee is good but the Moka with real cacao is next level, it's not like a mocha you might be used to, not ultra-sweet - adds a chocolate depth of flavor that's just delicious! Highly recommend stopping by while your in the strip. Service was super quick and friendly & they have a few spots to sit as well! read more

Its a small street food stall. Always crowded-- and I see why. Excellllllleeeeennnnttttttttttt empanadas! We ordered the beef& potatoes empanadas-- 2 per order& the guava arepa. The arepa was sweet& delish-- goes really well w/ coffee. The empanadas came w/ cilantro scallion in oil ((sort of like a whole salsa)) dipping sauce. Not spicy. We loved it so much that we made a u-turn & went back again to get another one. Its just too good. Now I see why its always busy. read more

Nice real authentic Colombian flare. Pan de Bono was soft and great with the chocolate cacao. Prices were a bit high to make it a regular spot for me. read more

An amazing spot for arepas in the strip district! For those who don't know, an arepa is like a cross between a tortilla and a pancake and is made of corn. Having visited Colombia (and being Colombian) in the past, you can really taste the authenticity in the food. I had the Signature Arepa, which comes with plantains, cheese, and guava jam, and it was phenomenal! My friend had the Chicken Specialty Arepa, which comes with plantains, pinto beans, guac, and a selection of chicken, pork or veggie, and it looked fantastic as well! He had never had an arepa before and absolutely loved it! Definitely deserving of a 5 star review and I will definitely be back! read more

The owner of this truck is simply amazing. First, he kept calling me "friend" which just warmed my little heart. Secondly, the chicken arepa I had for lunch with plantains and guacamole was simply diVINE. I have been on an arepa kick for a bit now. I will be back for sure! read more

I bought empanadas here yesterday. Empanadas de ají. These are fantastic they serve them with a mild green sauce. After I had my first bite I was singing praises to the owner Sebastian. You can't go wrong with this place. He killed it. read more

Person at the register was very nice but the food is a joke. I ordered a arepa and an order of empanadas. The arepa was tiny, pathetic, and lacking any flavors that you would expect, also it was a rip off at $12. The empanadas were similar to what you would expect out of a frozen box and also a rip off at $9 for two. This was supposed to be lunch for me but let's just say that it didn't do the trick. There's a much better Colombian spot in the south side with amazing food and much larger portions at a reasonable price. read more

The Arepa was delicious and Sebastian who was working there was super friendly and awesome! I can't wait to go back and try new food items & coffee. Love this place and would highly recommend! read more
