Jitters Cafe - a hand holding a cup of cappuccino - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Jitters is delicious hand crafted coffee. The staff is attentive, quick and true craftsmanship. The coffee is delicious. My favorite is their honey lavender latte. They are also dog friendly and the fur baby received a complimentary dog biscuit. They also have a water bowl outside for thirsty pups. read more

On my daughter's recommendation we visited Jitters on our recent trip to Pittsburgh and we were not disappointed! Cold brew and Iced Latte were perfect and the bacon burrito was delicious! And they were all served with a big smile from our barista! We will be getting our coffee and breakfast on all future trips to Pittsburgh! read more

Way too sweet. Price is decent though. I didn't get any caffeine kick from what I got.

Great service, friendly environment and welcoming atmosphere. Brought the store blended espresso for souvenir.

As a regular (who lives down the street), everyone who works here is wonderful and super friendly. Going above and beyond with the Covid restrictions, I feel very comfortable stopping by to get a coffee to-go. Their cold brews are so good, I make cold brew at home and buy their beans. They even help grind the beans and even offer insight on how to better my blends. One of the better cold brews I've had, I personally don't add any sugar or simple syrup. It doesn't need it. I love coffee, and I really enjoy starting my day here. read more

Really good coffee! The baristas were very nice and accommodating. When they do have them.... their breakfast burritos were really good and filling. The place is small so small groups are good in there. read more

This place is awesome! The staff were very nice and cracked a lot of funny jokes. My girlfriend got a drink she's never had before and they even offered to make a new drink for her on the house if she didn't enjoy it. It wasn't necessary though! Safe to say, this is her new go for when we come back! (And we will be back)All in all, this was great new coffee place for us and they didn't disappoint. read more

Jitters Cafe - Caffe caramel & iced lavender vanilla coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Great little coffee shop in shady side. I ordered a breakfast burrito and a strawberry smoothie. The smoothie was out of this world. They have indoor and outdoor seating which is always nice read more

I don't come here too often but this cafe usually has more open seating available than the more popular cafes on Walnut St like Starbucks or Coffee Tree Roasters. It's a small cafe with only about 5 or 6 tables. It's in a pretty good area with natural lighting that helps with getting work done. I ordered the 16oz earl grey tea, which was about $2.57. Jitters serves coffee and even icecream. I read some other reviews that they serve Dave and Andy's icecream but I didn't get the chance to look at their selection so I'll try to do that next time. The only inconvenience is that it's in an office building where there's a nail salon right next to it and can see through the glass windows. It just doesn't complete cafe vibes, which might distract some people. Also you need a password to access the bathroom downstairs. Overall, not a bad place to meetup with people or just study and get work done! read more

Jitters Cafe - 16oz earl grey tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Can't find seats at a cafe to study in? This is a great cafe most likely with open seats!! It's a small cafe next to a nail salon. There are lots of windows which makes this a beautiful cafe for lots of natural lighting when there's sun out! They have a couple tables and a booth with outlets under them. They have a full cafe menu, pastries, and ice cream! I haven't had their coffee that often, but the couple times were average. But their pastries...They bake their cookies at the store and wow their CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES are amazing!! They offer to warm it up and it's absolutely delicious! The service is AWESOME, they're always so friendly and helpful! And the bathroom is downstairs & requires a code--ask the cashier for it. Will definitely be coming back just for their cookies!! read more

My friend and I both got oat milk lattes from here a week or so ago. The barista, although swamped with orders, was super helpful and friendly! Not to mention, the lattes were incredible. We had to pace ourselves from drinking them too fast, and are so excited to come back in the future. read more

Jitters Cafe - Front: london fog, left front: mocha frap, back left: vanilla iced latte with oatmilk, back right: iced latte with oatmilk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Y'all, this is a great little open-concept cafe. They sell hot and cold drinks, pastries, oatmeal cups, and Dave & Andy's ice cream! The staff is the nicest, and they have a variety of "milks" to choose from. There's free wifi, and the place is nicely air conditioned. Or you can sit outside at the several tables and chairs. Great place for people watching, or else getting some work done. The signs aren't the most obvious--look for the round stickers on the windows in the corner building. Free vs paid parking on the streets around it. read more

Jitters is a pretty basic local coffee shop. They have all of the staples of a regular coffee shop and also sell Dave and Andy's ice cream. Service and cleanliness is good. They do have a bathroom that is hidden in the basement so keep that in mind if you need to use the restroom. read more

Fantastic they are so nice the coffee is perfect and the yummy food it is an absolute must!!!!!

I just came back from a visit to Jitters, and it has totally changed in layout from how it used to be two years ago. The counter, which used to be against the wall on the Negley side, is now across from the main door on Walnut. I think the new layout is a lot better and more intuitive. While the space is bright, clean, and welcoming, it's quite small, only containing six tables plus a few lounge chairs inside. I ordered a small cinnamon-cardamom herbal tea, and it was served nice and hot. I didn't add anything to my tea, but condiments and napkins can be found across from the barista's stand where you order. I also wanted a snack, so I decided to get a potato chip cookie, since (1) it looked the most appealing and (2) it sounded interesting! It was saltier and crispier than a regular cookie, but was still also sweet, and had a drizzle of chocolate icing on the top. While I liked the sweet-salty combination, I would have preferred for it to have been a bit sweeter to offset the extra salt--if there had been more icing, it would have been perfect. It was definitely different and interesting, and worth a try, though! Before I ordered, I overheard the barista saying to other customers that she didn't know where the baked goods that they sell come from, which didn't sit well with me. (If you read the other Yelp reviews, you'll see that they come from Prantl's.) Employees should be informed about the product they're selling. Having said that, she did describe the potato chip cookie accurately, which partially redeemed her. read more

Jitters Cafe - Chai latte, cafe au lait, and peanut butter cookie - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Foam off the chis-ang! I apologize for Snoop Doggifying my lingo, but it is really that good. I got a Hazelnut Latte - a safe and boring choice - that proved wise. I get a lotta lattes so this made for a good basis for comparison. Two thumbs way, way up. The cinnamon scone was also perfectly crisp on the outside with a nice moist center. The atmosphere is definitely unique. It's not actually an enclosed cafe. It shares the space with some offices and shops and the bathroom is downstairs guarded by a door combination. However, it was a bright, clean, and tasty alternative to Starbucks. Which is something I can always get behind. Jitters is especially a good place to get some work done because there's free wifi and outlets galore. Definitely worth a trip to Walnut to check out. read more

Jitters Cafe - Cinnamon Scone and a Hazelnut Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

One of my favorites. The staff is always really friendly and their iced mochas are the best I've had. When I lived in Shadyside I went all the time, and I still will make trips specifically to visit Jitters now that I've moved further away. read more

One of my favorite non-chain coffee shops in Pittsburgh. It is a small venue, yet there are usually some seats and tables open. However, I did have a lapse in judgment when I visited in the middle of the World Cup. They have a television set on one of the walls, so the place was packed; all the tables taken, seats being shared, and people standing, all fixated at the game. Anyways, their espresso drinks are great, their ice creams are heavenly, and their staff are very warm and nice. They provide free Wi-Fi, but the password changes occasionally. You need to ask the barista for the password. Speaking of which, the bathrooms also require a key code to enter, and they are different for the male and female bathrooms. Again, ask the baristas for these all-access passes. Overall, a great place to meet with friends, clients, your visiting relatives, or your next door neighbors. It's also quiet enough to do some studying; however, their choice of music may be distracting occasionally. Bring some headphones just in case. read more

Jitters Cafe - Bright and clean seating area - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Sorry folks, I'm not a fan. When out with my family we decided to get something frozen for a treat. The one good thing about this place is that it serves Dave & Andy's ice cream. But that is possibly the only good thing about the place. There is no order in here. Especially with three possible ways to enter. The proper entrance at the front of the building, the side entrance or if and when the doors are open, walk right through the front of the store. With that, no one seems to know where the line starts, if there is a line at all for service. What should take just a few minutes to order your item easily turns into a good ten to fifteen minute wait staring down the person that just cut in front of you and several other people. The pricing seems a bit high here too. For two scopes of ice cream the cost was equivalent to going to a frozen yogurt place and getting a cup filled with not only frozen goodness, but mixture items as well. The place is nicely set up, but it does feel a bit crowded in here. read more

BEST COFFEE IN PITTSBURGH! Wish I could keep it my little secret but everyone should know about them and don't forget to tip well as this is the best Cafe service on the East Coast. read more

Happened to be in the neighborhood this morning looking for a cafe to stop in at. I'm glad I found this place. It's a cute little space with friendly people, and I got one of the best mochas I've had in recent memory. I only wish I lived closer. I'll be back regardless. read more

Quiet little spot at the end of Walnut street and my fav spot for doing a little work! I always get the same order of a cup of coffee, but all the other drink options look yummy as well! They also have a good assortment of baked goods and ice cream!! And in my opinion, their coffee is better than Crazy Mocha or Coffee Tree. The space is bright and clean and the baristas are also really friendly. read more

Jitters Cafe - Great space to relax or get work done! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Jitters is my go to coffee shop in all of Pittsburgh. Sad that I moved further away and only make it out there every couple months.

I'd say this falls into the category of solid but unspectacular in pretty much every conceivable way. I had a bagel, which was ok. The seating was ok. I spent some portion of the time outside, which is nice when there is a bit of cloud cover. It is a short walk to some other places. And Shadyside is a great neighborhood to walk through. So, soft thumbs up. read more

Okay so after a long hot day in the Pittsburgh sun... ehh I know that doesn't sound like a normal day BUT its been an abnormally warm week! So continuing what I was saying... in the Pittsburgh sun this place is a pleasant surprise tucked away inside "Walnut Mall." I highly recommend trying their Cold Brew - its crisp, refreshing, and downright delicious! read more

I just tried Jitters for the first time and it was amazing! We were happily greeted as soon as we walked in and treated with great customer service. I got a caramel latte and it was absolutely perfect. Due to the current environment, the indoor seating is obviously closed off but there are a couple two person tables outside. Next time you're in Shadyside grab a cup of Joe from Jitters! read more

We love a good ice cream date even if it's 10°. luckily Jitters is not only ice cream, but a coffee shop as well. We came here Monday night about 15 minutes before closing time. The gentleman helping us was very kind even though he was closing down the shop. The coffee shop near my house gives attitude 1 hour before closing lol. I appreciated this guy's kindness. I went with the mint chocolate chip chunk on a sugar cone. My boyfriend went with the birthday cake. After looking at my delicious cone, he decided to add mint chocolate chunk on top of his cone. The ice cream used is Dave & Andy's... always good! (and they take cards unlike D&A) They had a full menu of coffee goodness.. everything from coffee, espresso, chai ect. We passed on the coffe (it had looked like the guy just washed the coffee stuff,, didn't want to be a pain) We sat in the shop to enjoy our ice cream. Other folks were there working. This seems like the poppin place to do work on your laptop. Anyways we really enjoyed the ice cream and the vibe here. We are extreme coffee and ice cream fans. What a cool thing to have both! read more

Given that there are so many coffee shops in Shadyside, competition is fierce. This one was a little disappointing! Although my coffee was good (not bad, but not special), the atmosphere wasn't conducive to getting any work done. It was very loud, and the nail salon next door is all glass so you can see right through. I just found it to be a little odd! They have a few minimal pastries. I think next time I go back I'd rather check out their selection of Dave & Andy's ice cream! read more

Jitters Cafe - Sesame bagel and an iced vanilla latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Jitters is a nice coffee place in Shadyside. It's smaller than Coffee Tree Roasters, but the coffee is pretty good. It takes a while to make each order, as they are made individually. They had some nice coffee options other than black (I'm really not a coffee drinker so I'll take the fancier stuff please!). I went here on a late Monday morning on a day off. We also ordered bagels because I didn't have anything in the house to eat and I was too lazy to walk to Bruegger's. I'd stay away from these types of treats; they are cheap but it's basically Giant Eagle bagels in a bag. I took the order to go and they just toasted it there and dumped it in the bag with a small tub of cream cheese. Nothing wrong with that, but you might as well go to Bruegger's for a real bagel and cream cheese. They also serve ice cream and I look forward to coming back and trying that out. I might revise my review after I try the ice cream. I wasn't in love with Jitters the way some people were, so I don't want to rate it poorly, but I'd give it a three for indifference. read more

One of my favorite places to go to. Coffee is fabulous and service is the best!! Look forward to my weekend visits each week!

Blessed with Commonplace Place coffee in Squirrel Hill, I often wonder how the people in Shadyside make it. I think Jitters is probably the best option within Shadyside, but it is not my favorite coffee shop by any stretch. I ordered a hot chocolate and a blueberry muffin on my most recent trip. Both were good and enjoyable, and I would come back and get either of these to go. The atmosphere is just not good, though. There are only five tables, and most are packed with wifi hogs. On top of that, the busy hallway leading to the rest of the building goes right through Jitters making it feel chaotic. The employee working was very friendly, but it didn't make up for the lack of atmosphere. Overall, Jitters is good for a quick coffee to go. read more

I love this cute little cafe in Shadyside! They have an amazing Iced London Fog drink, which is essentially Earl Grey tea with milk and cinnamon dusted on top. They also serve a nice selection of ice cream, which they source from Dave & Andy's. I've also brought work to do here before because they have free wifi. I would definitely recommend this cafe! read more

Jitters Cafe - Ice cream! (from Dave & Andy's) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Big fan! First time i have ever been to this place, and the milkshake I got was delicious. My mother also got a frozen coffee, and I think I wound up drinking all of it for her. The cookies that were there also were great. I am not sure whether they cooked them there fresh or not, but they were delicious. Defiantly the best stop my mother and I had while we were on Walnut street, and i would venture back to the place in a second. PS the wait staff was also very pleasant and kind. read more

updating my review to 5 stars because I have been numerous times since and I'm obsessed. staff is always so nice, the coffee never misses!!! It's my fave coffee shop these days. read more

I generally hate flavored coffees, but I always enjoy the flavored coffees here, especially the Hazelnut and Coconut when they are featured. The remodel makes the place much more inviting than it was in the past, and I love going in the mornings and seeing all the regulars. It's definitely comparable to Coffee Tree Roasters a few storefronts down, and definitely better than Starbucks. Fun spot for studying I would imagine, but those days are behind me thank goodness. read more

My favorite coffee shop on Walnut St. Most of the folks in there are regulars who greet each ohter by name. I did my job search there this winter so I was in daily and I too, got to know everyone there. The coffee is great, the staff is friendly, and they have free wireless. One day I couldn't get the wireless to work and the guy who does their IT just happened to be in the shop, and not only did he set my wireless up for me (which he didn't have to do), he also fixed my computer which he REALLY didn't have to do. This place has a warm, friendly, welcoming environment and is a lot quieter that hte coffee tree. It is my fave coffee shop! The also serve ice cream, and have outdoor seating which is perfect for summertime. read more

Very nice ! Very friendly and helpful . The coffee was really really good (I roast and really appreciate a good cup.) Danish and breakfast croissants were very fresh . Coffee hot and not too strong. The gentleman that took my order was so nice , made suggestions and helped me with fixing my husbands coffee. I left here with a smile . Lots of regulars , which says allot. It seems like a real nice place to hang out. Tables outside too, so you can bring your pup . I will be back before I leave town. read more

There are plenty of nice coffee places in Shadyside, but Jitters is by far and away my favorite. The staff are lovely and the coffee is delicious. They have a great selection of beans, too. What more could you ask for? read more

This place went from awesome to worst after it changed owners. It used to be simple to buy coffee. They used to have a white mocha but not anymore. I miss the old owner of the place. But still support small cafés!!! read more
