MY FAVORITE!! La…read morePrima has my heart, especially the Strip District location This is the very first La Prima Espresso shop, located at 21st & Penn. It's also a veteran-owned small business, which makes supporting it even better. With the warmer weather coming, I love seeing people outside playing cards, sipping lattes, and bringing their dogs along. You can grab fresh beans to make at home, enjoy local pastries in the morning (until they sell out), and the baristas are incredibly talented. Such a special spot full of history, community, and really great coffee.

The cafe is counter service...expect a wait on the weekends... the baristas are fantastic!!! but there is a steady line of customer during the day.

Sigh, if only I had read the floor and ceiling sign that showed where the coffee shop was, I…read morewouldn't have been so lost. Anyway, I eventually figured out and found the place (surprisingly, Safari Maps was correct, not Google Maps). Once inside the cafe, it was warm and inviting, and the barista was very kind. I tried their matcha latte, and it was delicious. The cafe is connected to a co-working space that's open to anyone, which is nice. They also offer free public WiFi that doesn't require a password. Heads up, parking is a bit tricky. You can park near the railroad tracks and walk over, or take a chance with the 30-minute loading spots and hope you don't get towed. Or, for a peace of mind, you can park inside the garage and then pay when leaving.

It has a roastery, bakery, and several cafes in Southwestern Pennsylvania, and it provides training and equipment to other businesses. My husband and I were customers of this cafe in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood one time. The menu listed coffees, espressos, lattes, teas, hot cocoa, cookies, muffins, scones, sandwiches, etcetera. A refrigerator contained yogurts, juices, oat milk, and other bottled beverages. Shelves held bags of coffees and kettles. Employees kindly took my husband's order and payment and promptly made our beverages. Some tables and chairs were inside the cafe, so we sat down to enjoy our beverages. Other customers were using the dining area to read, spend time with family and friends, and work on laptops. I rate the Chai Latte has 5 stars and the holiday Sugar Plum Latte as 4.5 stars. We enjoyed their flavors. Each beverage was 12 ounces, and their total price was $11 plus tax and tip. I did notice that the cafe was very humid because of the cold weather outside and the many customers inside. The windows had much condensation. I wonder if a dehumidifer would reduce the indoor humidity.

I definitely recommend coming here and I hope to be back if I'm ever back in the city.

The beans are roasted locally! The syrups here are not usually made in house, so i often think their drinks are best with no additional flavors with the exception of a sugar-free vanilla mocha (one of my favorites). They use quality ingredients everywhere else, though I cannot recommend their matcha..at all.
