    Coffee was really good, felt like a classic spot, busy but the line moved fast. I got an iced oat milk latte with a big biscotti cookie, it was awesome. There were places to stand inside to drink coffee, and tables outside. I wasn't sure about the food next door but it did look good as well.

    Cool little spot. Stopped in on a Sunday afternoon as we were walking around looking for a coffee spot. Seeing that they had a few patrons inside and outside we decided to stop in. Staff was welcoming, shop was clean. In addition to coffee drinks they had T-shirts, long sleeves, hoodies, and coffee beans for sale. Two large jars of biscotti, some fresh desserts in a small case. I ordered. Medium cappuccino to go-it was good and the perfect amount. Would definitely return.

    The best cappuccino you'll find in Pittsburgh! Worth the line and my friends from out of town love visiting here! Definitely worth a stop in your strip district day!

    I always bring my parents here when they are in town for a coffee. Best coffee, best vibes, best people. A quick place to stop into with fast service in the strip

    A taste of Italy in Pittsburgh. You won't find better espresso, cappuccino, etc. many other places in town. There are always groups of Italians outside playing cards and enjoying each other's company. I love seeing the sense of community. La Prima is also attached to a great little pizza and pastry shop if you're hungry. Love snagging a table outside and people watching, but be warned it gets very crowded.

    Love La Prima! This is my go to coffee spot in the strip. I love trying to translate the Italian message on their chalk board. The vibe is casual and communal and there's almost always a long line at peak hours. Baristas are always friendly and efficient once at the front of the line. An iced hazelnut latte is my usual go-to, which is a favorite, but their caramel is great too!

    Pittsburgh!

    Great cup of coffee. Great service. Nice gem of Pittsburgh. This was our first stop in the city for coffee and it was very satisfying.

    4.5 stars. Commonplace Coffee is a specialty coffee roaster, retailer, and wholesale service…read moreprovider. 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.

    This location is very cute and always bustling! Staff is super nice and service is quick. I liked…read moremy matcha latte a lot. They do great coffee here as well. I'd definitely come back and work from this coffee shop since it's near so many good spots in town and the drinks are good.
