This was our go to spot during Covid when we lived in the Mexican war streets. We'd order an oat milk iced latte and it quickly became our addiction. The space is warm and inviting, but not a ton of seating so definitely arrive early. This is how a Neighborhood coffee shop should feel. Mr Rogers would be proud. read more

I used to frequent this coffee shop when i lived on the North Side, and it's still one of my favorite spots to visit whenever I'm in the area. Their lattes are consistently amazing, and they have plenty of great seating, whether you want to stay and relax or get some work done. One of my favorite things about this place is its location. Right across the street is a charming community garden where you can sit, enjoy the beautiful flowers, and do a little people watching. It's the perfect spot to slow down and enjoy a great cup of coffee. read more

Great coffee and location, with really nice outdoor seating across in the garden area too. Loved their cold brew a lot, didn't even need anything else and the flavor is perfect! The apple caramel scone was okay, more like cake than scone texture, and I didn't really get the apple air caramel flavors very strongly. I do love their drinks, and will definitely come back for them and hang out on this cute area! read more

I'm late to the party but Commonplace Coffee is so great! Tucked into a cute couple of streets in the North Side this coffee shop is both modern and charming.

We stopped by this place on our last morning in Pittsburgh and lemme just say, it's a vibe. We got lucky w/ parking, which happens to be right in front of the store but from the look of it, parking doesn't seem to be a problem since you're able to find a place almost anywhere. The store is located at the end of the block and honestly you can't miss it. You'll either see a lot of people sitting/ standing outside or across the street waiting for their order. Inside isn't that big but it isn't tight either. Staff isn't the friendliest and is straight to the point but it'll do. I ended up getting their blackberry latte and it taste exactly how it sounds. Really good if you're looking for their seasonal drinks. There's also a garden right across the street w/ plenty of tables that you can work or just enjoy your drink. I absolutely loved it. This wasn't the Commonplace Coffee location that we originally had planned to go to, but I'm not complaining. I'm glad that we did and will definitely return on our next trip back here. read more

Quaint little coffee shop in the neighborhood. They serve variety of drinks from the coffee beans roasted by Commonplace coffee. We did not try their bakery this time, but saw pretty much everyone else ordered some and everything looked yummy. Tried their cold brew and hot latte with house-made honey flavor, both were really good. For those who do not drink coffee, they also have matcha latte, chai latte, or hot cocoa and tea available as well. (Non-dairy milk options are also available) Such a nice and relaxing atmosphere to come enjoy your day or finish up some work. The staffs were very nice as well. Will definitely be back read more

I've been here a couple times now, and altho I'm not necessarily a big coffee person, I've enjoyed the drinks that I've tried each time. Today I had an iced apple crisp latte which was very good, and the vibe in this place along with the neighborhood is great! Would definitely go back. read more

Small little coffee shop tucked away in North Side. Ordered an oat milk cappuccino with extra espresso. Service was pretty quick for how busy it was. Most perfect cappuccino I've ever had. I could've cried. Super dense foam. The barista needs to show every coffee shop in Pittsburgh how to do it. Amazing. 10000/10. read more

I am seriously reconsidering my decision to walk around Pittsburgh in this summer heat. On my way from one spot to the next, I found this spot and spent an hour or so colling off with an iced coffee and some wifi before heading onwards. There is a nice friendly vibe here with two big tables and three smaller tables inside, power outlets to be found and yes, great coffee. It was a pleasant rest in a nice neighborhood.

Stopped in on a Sunday around 11am. There was a decent crowd in hand and the inside of the coffee shop is on the smaller side. So, it was a little awkward to wait to order while people were also waiting for drinks and trying to shop the small business goods. The staff were super friendly and quick to take my order, though! Our drinks came out in less than 3 minutes. I ordered a dirty chai and it was perfect; not too sweet, but mildly spicy. My mom had a lemon ginger tea and she said it was good. The tea was definitely fresh leaves in a hand tied bag. She kept the cup and made a second small cup at home with the same bag and said it wasn't weak at all. The bathroom was small, unisex, and clean. The cafe is in a cute neighborhood and has a few tables outdoors, as well. read more

Cute and busy coffee shop. We had the drip coffees; I got a grill cheese (perfectly cooked, cheese so gooey and pulled apart delightfully) and wife had a breakfast sandwich which she enjoyed. We sat in a little park across the street and the staff even brought us our sandwiches! Lots of people at the tables inside and along the street working away on lap tops. read more

My latte was good, no real complaints about that. Though I am kind of astonished at the rancid vibes. The coffee was already $7.20, so I pressed "no tip". the guy literally watched me do this then said "nice tip" sarcastically. DO MY EARS DECEIVE ME? Why do I have to give you a tip if the coffee is already more expensive than any shop I've been to? I would tip if you were friendly. If this is not what the barista did say, then I apologize. But it 100% sounded like he said that. I even stayed friendly and said thank you several times. HERE'S MY TIP: You should not even be staring at the customer or make ANY COMMENT while they are deciding a tip. This is why people continue going to chain shops and dont take locally-owned ones seriously. If you want to be successful, you will have CUSTOMER SERVICE SKILLS. Again, if this isnt what he said, I apologize, but it really sounded like he said "nice tip" and glared at me. This is also why people dont want to tip at every single place they go to. DEAR GOD, I fear we've lost the plot. read more

Love this place! Had a espresso, came with sparkling water, refreshing for the warm weather. Also, I visited on a Monday noon, when they have the JustRolldup sushi truck, the poke bowl and sushi roll were amazing. Love both of them! Highly recommend. read more

We stopped here after a trek. We were very excited, and ordered two cold brews. They did not have oatmilk or alt milk options which was a bummer. They did have an oat creamer option. When i asked about caramel -- I was told they didn't have this. Instead they have a honey and other mixture syrup, and my counter part did not sweeten his. I was excited to try this and did. It was a little sweet although I was not impressed with the flavor of coffee. I also got a coffee cake, it was cinnamon flavored and tasty although a little dry. My lack of stars is due to the individual behind the counter seeming cold, not super nice, or happy to be there. The inside of the coffee shop was lovely, felt more laid back, and cozy. We decided to eat and enjoy our coffee at the park across the street but Commonplace had seating outside, but we wanted to enjoy the nature. Commonplace also had fun stickers (which we got one), lots of coffee, and other things for gifts or consumption. The price of the packaged coffee appeared overpriced imo, for a very small amount. Overall I wouldn't come back here but it is a nice stop after walking from Randyland. read more

I love the "neighborhood" feel of Commonplace Coffee! My go-to is an iced vanilla oat milk latte & they never disappoint - I love consistency when it comes to my coffee drink. I also got the egg, cheese & pesto breakfast sandwich. It's made in-house and was pretty good! The bread was not my favorite choice because it got a little soggy but it was still delicious! Overall, would definitely recommend Commonplace Coffee! read more

I'm visiting the 'Burgh for Thanksgiving and did the YMCA turkey trot. Someone mention Commonplace so I figured it was worth a shot. I was not disappointed and in fact very impressed. I had a delicious chai tea, coffee cake, and sampled a blueberry muffin. The tea was excellent. People don't realize that a good cup of chai tea is hard to find. Excellent taste, great presentation. The coffee cake was excellent as well. Great sponge-y base layer for dipping. Sugary top for some extra sweetness. Highly recommend dipping this in what we beverage you get. The muffin had a generous portion of good size blueberries. You ever had a muffin with a pinch of blueberries???? Nope, not here. They also had a a community pot luck going on that was not only cute but very refreshing to see the community gathering on thanksgiving. Kudos to them for doing something to bring people together in a time with so much division in the world!!! This place has creativity and charm! Check out my pic of the soap dispenser obituary. Love the creativity!!! read more

This coffee shop is generally a relaxed environment that people can chat or do work in. The staff is always amicable and patient! I've never had a negative experience with any of them. The coffee here is one of the best in Pittsburgh!! You can really tell that they care about the quality of their coffee. They also have pastries that are always changing and extremely tasty! The last time I was there I had an apple ginger scone which was such an intriguing combination. It was a pretty refreshing pastry and I could really taste the ginger. Overall, I would recommend this place if you have not checked it out already! read more

Great little spot! Lots of tea options. I got a roobios tea with oat milk. They also had a few fun gluten free pastries so I tried the vanilla latte scone! It was yummy! Staff was friendly and helpful. I appreciated that they had some games like chess and scrabble so dabbled in a game of chess with my boyfriend while we were there. I liked the feeling of the place while inside, felt welcoming and cozy. They even had a food truck The Blue Sparrow outside serving up lunch today. read more

I love what this coffee shop has done to adjust for Covid in 2020! You can't walk in and order at the counter or sit down in the table/chair area... BUT, you can walk up to the window and order curbside. This isn't even for drivers, just pedestrians. I love it. Way to innovate, Commonplace! The drinks weren't bad either. The iced coffee was a bit bitter, but it was super tasty and woke me up. The others in my party enjoyed their beverages, as well. Thanks so much, Commonplace. Keep up the great work. read more

This is a great place to grab a coffee in the Mexican War Streets area, especially because there isn't another option. Luckily, the coffee here is excellent and they've got some delicious pastries as well. Note: it is not wheelchair or stroller friendly as there are stairs to get inside. read more

What a cute coffeeshop! It has an eclectic industrial-boho vibe with black metal chairs, wooden tables and benches, plants and flowers all around, and blue tie-die kerchiefs adding color and texture. The staff, masked, were friendly, and I greatly enjoyed both my rooibos tea and the moist coffeecake. Internet was a little wonky (only half the pages I tried to open loaded), but the air conditioning was welcome on a hot day. I had heard that parking could be difficult in the residential neighborhood with many spots requiring permits, but I was able to easily find free, shaded parking a short walk away. If you don't need to be plugged in, you can sit in the lovely walled garden across the street. read more

Commonplace is a beautiful coffee shop nestled in the heart of the Mexican war streets. They make a gorgeous looking latte. The coffee is pretty good but not the best you can get in Pittsburgh. I come for the atmosphere both inside and out--outside being the most quaint with the tables in the courtyard. They also have been increasing the amount of food & treats they carry in the past couple of years which is nice to have if you're looking for eats as well. The barista/os have never been the friendliest, but I think they take their jobs and the coffee pretty seriously. I just can't help but feel like I'm bothering them the majority of the time I order at the counter. Also wish they carried almond milk as I'm not a fan of oat. Overall, worth the visit and spending some time in. read more

Commonplace Coffee - Enjoying a latte in the outdoor courtyard across the street - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I stopped by here earlier today with my wife for our morning coffee. We had been trying different places every Sunday and on this day my wife picked Commonplace Coffee. It's located on the corners of Buena Vista and Jacksonia St in the Mexican War Streets and if you aren't looking for it, you probably wouldn't stumble across it. Due to Covid, they require you to wear a mask to enter and order, but allow you to take it off once you are at your table. The inside consists of 5 tables, a couple of 6 tops, a 5 top, a table with benches and then two smaller ones, all of which were full on this morning. Then the back area is where you order. They also had four outdoor tables to sit at, including two with umbrellas, but the 21 degree weather meant no one was outside. On this morning I decided to order a large oatmilk latte while my wife went with a small americano. We also decided to have breakfast here and so went with the breakfast burrito and the classic sandwich. The menu described the burrito as coming with eggs, black beans, hash browns and cheese while the classic sandwich came with bacon, eggs and cheese. Our drinks were ready fairly quickly and then I just had a bit longer of a wait for our breakfast sandwiches. Once I got into my car I was able to try the oatmilk latte and it was pretty tasty. You could really taste the oatmilk with the coffee playing the supporting role. In order to try the coffee I tasted my wife's Americano and thought it was pretty good. You could tell the beans were freshly roasted and it had a rich and smooth taste to it. After I got home, I was able to unwrap the breakfast sandwiches. I was a little disappointed by the size, especially for the breakfast burrito but they both did look good. I first tried the breakfast burrito and it was solid. It was seasoned nicely but could have used a bit more cheese. After that I tried the classic breakfast sandwich and found it more to my liking. A large egg, the cheese and the bacon made it both filling and tasty. The bottom line for me is that I would stop by here again in the future. My wife and I both enjoyed our coffees and the breakfast sandwiches were decent too. read more

My friend at work is crazy about the coffee at Commonplace so we visited today and it really is good coffee!! I sampled the "winter solstice" coffee blend today and it was amazing.. so smooth. They ran out of the coffee I really wanted but was able to find it a few streets over at the Mayfly Market & Deli! Todays special was the "Raspberry Latte" so I just had to get.. and oh my goodness it was so so so so good. Probably the best latte I have ever had! Décor was super cute too. Thanks Commonplace.. we will be returning very soon. read more

The coffee was good and the interior was cozy, but the service was questionable. I ordered an iced latte and after sitting inside for a while, a small fly flew into my coffee because the cafe kept their front door wide open. I went to the counter and asked if they could give me a new cup or just scoop out the top part with the fly for me and I went back to my table. A separate male barista came up to me with my fly coffee and said: "can I ask what your expectations are" with a blank stare. I told him "umm can I just get a new cup but half the size is fine". I don't know about you guys but personally I don't particularly enjoy flies in my drinks. Especially when they chose to keep the front door open and there were at least 5 big flies flying around at all times. Honestly still pretty shocked at their response. How much does it cost to make a new cup of coffee? Is it really such an outrageous request to bring the coffee back to them? And for them to ask me what my expectations are...like I don't know, take it out? replace it? Don't make me feel like an idiot for asking? Definitely would not return. read more

Great vibes, good coffee, and you can even take your mug to the park across the street!

This was my first time visiting their location in Mexican War Streets/Northside. I wanted to try something new, and after perusing their drink menu, I happened to ask if they could make a London Fog. They said they could (like an unofficial secret menu). I also substituted with almond milk. It was very delicious! This is a small space with limited seating/tables, so I took my drink outside to enjoy in the courtyard across the street. read more

Comfortable, welcoming corner coffee shop. 3pm on a Tuesday and the tables are full inside and out (it's a good thing). I ordered the Tanzania roast as a pour over. Very nice quality. I am not picking up all the fruity notes but it's is very smooth and bright. I also order a decaf pour over ( because I am old) which is just as good as the Tanzanian. The cookie was soft and tasty with out being extremely sweet. The word commonplace is fitting. Literally a pastor and what seems to be church staff having a meeting on one side, a gender neutral persons next to me and a cute same sex couple ordering drinks. This is a common place for all. Enjoy your visit! read more
