High-quality, diverse coffee & tea, and much more! The coffee here is fantastic. I wish I had more time to spend here - very cool vibe. They also have craft beers, cocktails, and hot teas, plus some food options. If you like wine, you'll love how they use wine analogies to describe coffee. read more

Went for breakfast with a friend. I loved the English muffin on this sandwich, the everything seasoning was perfect!! I did however burn the roof of my mouth but it was worth it. Then I got a matcha with vanilla and I really enjoyed it. My friend liked their cold brew as well. We lucked out and got a table. read more

I stopped by while out in the strip with some friends last weekend for a quick coffee. The service is fast and friendly, the coffee is good, and the shop is cute and clean. I think it's cool they have cocktails too, so I'd come back to try those another time. They definitely get busy on the weekends, so it might be hard to find an open table, but it's a good spot to just grab a drink to go. read more

De Fer Coffee - Lavender bergamot latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I had a wonderful time at De Fer when I recently visited. They have some of the best coffee in the city and for $5 I got a really delicious medium roast of drip coffee with unlimited refills. It was perfect for the 2-3 hours I spent coworking there. The space upstairs is really nice for working as it's quiet and away from all the hubbub downstairs. read more

Love de fer! May be tough to get a table or food at certain parts of the day. Their coffee is outstanding. A good option.

I loved coworking from this local coffee! We visited the location in the strip, which was so aesthetically pleasing. There were great outdoor seating options and plenty of seating indoors too. They have a little local goods shop corner that I really enjoyed perusing. I also adored the local prints in the bathroom with frames for sale. They had two gender neutral single restrooms. Their seasonal drinks here are so creative and delicious. I'm blanking on the names of what we ordered, but my coworker got a very sweet refreshing strawberry drink. I ordered a fizzy shrub syrup drink. They were perfect for the hot PGH day. We quickly found a table and were able to connect to their wifi. This is a great coffee shop to meet up with a friend or get some work done. read more

You should definitely come here if you are taking a walk along the strip district or if you're looking for a place to study. There is nice seating and the vibes are really great if you want to lock in, meet with a friend, or just hang out. The service was also great, I felt like the staff was really friendly. Also, the drinks were great! My friend got a coffee and I got this butterfly pea flower lemonade, which was absolutely beautiful and tasted really good read more

I met up with a girlfriend at De Fer, and it was a great choice. The menu is full of options for coffee and tea lovers, and there is a great assortment of baked goods that are made in-house as well. Or, if cocktails are more your thing, De Fer also serves cocktails in the evening. I went with an iced vanilla matcha latté, and it was delicious. It wasn't overly sweet, and the matcha was very well made. However, my chocolate chip cookie was a bit lacking in flavor which was a little disappointing. Overall, I would absolutely come back to De Fer. It is quite the popular spot for those working remotely, especially on a nice day when there is an option to sit outside. Give De Fer a try if you're craving coffee in the Strip! read more

Before heading out of Pittsburgh for the drive home, we needed a quick caffeine jolt and thought it would be fun to pop into the strip district since we missed strolling the neighborhood on this trip. We followed the great reviews to this location in the heart of the district and were not disappointed. It was bustling on a Sunday morning at De Fer. They offer a variety of breakfast sandwiches, baked goodies and seasonal coffee drinks, as well as beans roasted in house. I ordered a spring espresso tonic, and it was just the kick I needed to start the day and not overly sweet. The staff was friendly and kept things moving despite the long line. The thing that stood out to me most about this particular coffee shop was how kid-friendly they were. They offered a small kids play area with a little kitchen place at along with several children's books. Overall, a highly positive experience and we would recommend. read more

A spacious, open-concept cafe with plenty of tables and seats, including the main ground floor and some more seating on the second level. Still, it can get crowded, when I came on a Saturday evening, for example. I got the seasonal Gingersnap Latte, which was fine, along with the Hummus Wrap that was ok. Also got a tiramisu, which surprisingly doesn't have eggs in it, but it was a little too heavy and rich for me. Overall, a good, popular cafe, right in the heart of the Strip District, to meet people or do work. read more

Hipster coffee shop keeping the Strip District of Pittsburgh alive on a Saturday Night! Nice meeting Nick and the crew! Stop by for coffee, cocktails, tea, wine or beer. Food includes vegan options. Great spot. The upstairs area caters to those working or looking for a quieter ambiance. Don't miss the art downstairs! I had a seasonal latte and a delightful glass of French bubbly . Nick told me that in the summer they open the garage door for live music! Can't wait! Welcome to the neighborhood. read more

My friend and I needed a place to work and chat, so we decided to stop at De Fer on a late Sunday morning. Though there was a line to order, the line moved pretty quickly and I reached the front within a couple minutes of waiting. I went with a blueberry vanilla latte on their seasonal special menu, which was delicious and had a strong caffeine hit! Drinks came out within 5 minutes. The shop has a lot of seating with wifi and plugs, and the ambiance was fantastic for coworking. Parking nearby was somewhat challenging, and we had to park on side streets instead of closer to the front of the shop. read more

Beautiful open space with lots of small trinkets & coffee items sold on the side wall, good range of food and cool flavors- I got the matcha colada and my bud Jyang got the Pina colada cold brew. Matcha was pretty mild in flavor but I liked the colada foam. Seating is nice, but theres a ton of people moving in and out so it gets a bit loud at times. Seating is always volatile, if you come during busy hours it will be packed. We got here around 9:30am and it was pretty ok. Fast wifi, better for dates and to yap than to do work imo but got the job done. read more

I got the ginger snap iced latte ($7). They made the drink in about 7 minutes and it emphasized more on the coffee side. You could taste the coffee more with a small hint of sweet ginger. It definitely more of a sippie latte but had great caffeine to it. Staff were very nice and gave recommendations . The inside was quite nice and had a good amount of seats for a sit down. Overall a very solid coffee shop in the strip district. I would come back again. Drink (50%): 8.3 Staff/service(25%): 8.0 Value(25%): 7.0 Overall: 8.2/10 read more

Always love De Fer! Their coffee is amazing and so obviously their drinks are delicious too. Love that they make all of their own syrups! One of my favorite food items is the breakfast panini - it is seriously so good. It's made on homeade everything seasoned English muffin & it has a great crunch. The creamy miso chili crispy sauce on it is to die to! I recently tried one of their smoothie (blueberry almond banana) and it was delicious! The vibe of the cafe is amazing and always super busy. All of the staff is really friendly. They have a great happy hour and several cocktails, wine and beer too. read more

This is easily one of the best coffee shops in Pittsburgh! Not only is their coffee high-quality, but they also have a nice variety of non-coffee drinks and food that's much better than your typical coffee shop fare. I personally love their miso mushroom breakfast sandwiches - they're on a delicious English muffin (that I believe is from a local bakery) and soo good! One thing to be aware of is that this is a much better spot if you have time on your hands to sit there and relax with your food/drink - it's not the quickest shop so I wouldn't recommend it if you're in a hurry. Plus, it's fun to browse all the goodies they have for sale - it's a great spot to find gifts for coffee lovers and foodies! read more

This place has tasty coffee! My husband had tried out this local shop and had ordered a latte. It was a simple order executed well. It was a bit pricy, but we've seen worse. The decor inside as well is nicely filled with what seems like local art, as well as some basic things for sale made by locals. I think that's a great touch for the community. Highly recommend, and service was a bonus too! read more

Great spot to sit for some coffee. Their pastries are delicious and they have a wide variety of offerings

The atmosphere was awesome, very homey and comfortable. Employees were very nice. The coffee was excellent, I really enjoyed the honey fig and rosemary iced latte, the espresso was great, HOWEVER... the turkey brie and spiced apple butter sandwich was the worst thing i've ever put in my mouth. It tasted like a fart, a wet one that bubbled in my pants. There was WAY too much cheese I could barely eat it without making a mess, and the cheese tasted like it fermented in a diabetic man's toe fungus that developed into gas gangrene. You could barely taste the apple butter. The chocolate chip cookie was dense and definitely stale. I would definitely come here for the coffee and the vibes, but never again for the food. read more

De Fer is one of my favorite weekend study spots. The menu is extensive, offering a wide variety of food and drink options. I've never had a bad coffee and sandwich here. They also offer a selection of alcohol. I love the cozy atmosphere of the cafe. There's lots of tables but since there's always a lot of people there to do work, it can be difficult to find a seat sometimes. Same goes for parking. On good days, there's a spot right outside the door, bad days I could be circling around the strip forever trying to find a spot. Overall, great cafe and would def come here more often if it's easier to find a seat and parking. read more

My coffee was ok, I don't think I'll come back. The store had a lot of local things to buy.

Whether you're stopping by for a quick caffeine fix or settling in for a relaxing bite, De Fer has the perfect atmosphere to help you unwind and enjoy your drink of choice. They also serve alcohol. The real standout to us was the staff. Every person working at this café brought their A-game when it came to customer service. They were genuinely friendly, attentive, and willing to offer a recommendation if you're indecisive (which, trust me, is hard to avoid with so many delicious options). It's clear that they care about not only the quality of the drinks but also the experience of their customers. read more

Great experience spending an afternoon at the cafe! We unknowingly visited during National coffee week. Once the evening coffee cocktail specials started, the cafe began to get busy and more lively. They even had raffles for the event. Each day for National coffee week there was a different special event. Since we arrived early I ordered a fall spice drink. It was delicious and perfect for the fall season! Staff were all friendly and welcoming. Once we ordered we got a number for our table so the waitstaff could bring our drinks out to our table. The cafe has seating both inside and outside. There is space to come and get work done but there are not that many outlets. Overall a great place for coffee! They also have a decent food menu that I look forward to trying in the future! read more
