Loved this place. Cigars were good. The gentleman that helped me decide asked what I normally smoked and made great suggestions on what else I could smoke. The person that was at the register was friendly anf personable. Atmosphere was wonderful. I felt like I was somewhere other than Pittsburgh. Shared a table with people I didn't know and we had great conversation and shared some laughs. Will definitely be back. Oh and BYOB is a great thing too! read more

If you are a cigar lover in Pittsburgh you probably already know about this place. Chill environment, great people, many choices on cigars (even Jim's personal brand). Must go to place for any cigar guy/gal you won't find a more authentic experience or environment. Don't forget about the coffee! read more

Leaf and Bean has been in Pittsburgh's Strip District for nearly as long as I've been gone from Pittsburgh. Many dismal chains try to make a hodgepodge of mass-produced garage sale crap look funky and fun. Leaf and Bean actually pulls it off--probably because it's their crap (and bona fide antiques) they've accumulated over 15 years in the Strip, and this is an aesthetic they like. The win is that all the finer things one may want in a coffee shop--a good breve, a selection of whole beans, a cooler with pop, a TV with the Bucs playing--are cradled in a humble jumble of other "important" stuff. For someone who has never been to Cuba, Leaf and Bean nails the Havana vibe. Most of the reason, of course, is the Leaf--for someone who doesn't smoke, they sell a huge selection of high-end cigars and are happy when a half-dozen guys sit in the doorway and smoke them. Completing the island atmosphere: the back room is stiflingly hot. read more

This place would probably be a haven for you if you enjoy smoking cigars. I, on the other hand, do not. Sorry for you peeps who enjoy a little puff on the stogie. But if you're like me, and you want to chill out at a coffee shop, do work there or just run in to get your coffee - or in my case - tea fix, it's not the place for you. Heck, even if you only run in, you run out smelling like you've smoked a thousand cigars, when you haven't even glanced at one in there. I went in once and it was enough for me to decide this wasn't the place for me. I couldn't even tell you what my tea was like because I knew I'd never be back. I'll hop down to 21st Street Coffee where it's more my speed. I could totally see someone loving this place if they were a cigar smoker. read more

Cool, laid back indoor/outdoor smoke spot. Great people and chill environment. Highly recommended for people who enjoy a good stick and a cool atmosphere. read more

Leaf & Bean - Sidewalk smoke. Excellent! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Awesome coffee and cigar shop! Stopped by on a Friday night after dinner to sit outside and enjoy the nice weather. The coffee was memorable...I'd come back for this coffee alone. We know nothing about cigars and Zeke was very helpful...sharing information without making us feel stupid. He suggested a great, affordable cigar that the BF enjoyed very much. The atmosphere was really fun, with large groups who look like "regulars" hanging out, playing cards, and enjoying the pens game. I'll be back for sure! read more

Was in Pittsburgh for one night for business and stumbled upon this gem of a cigar lounge. Huge variety of sticks and super friendly people. Good find read more

I always swing in to a new cigar lounge when I travel. Most feel like your in the same place over and over after a while. Not this one! The cigars here are blended by a true master and are not to be missed. One of the best cigars I've ever had. Staff are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Can't thank you guys enough for a great cigar! read more

Strip District staple. This little gem is a perfect spot for a relaxing morning or late afternoon on the weekend. The owner is very friendly and helpful. They have a large variety of cigars and a kind for everyone. The staff is very educated on the cigars that are offered and they are excities to help you. They also serve a nice variety of coffee drinks. During summer days they have live preforms that puts you in a great mood. read more

Seattle via way of Havana or is it Havana via way of Seattle? In either case, Leaf and Bean is the perfect place to sit back and relax over a freshly roasted coffee or puff away on a cigars from their large walk in humidor. A laid back Key West theme will let you get away from a dreary winter or whatever ails you, but only for a while. Don't expect to swing by at night for a post dinner cigar though since they close early, but baring that this is a great place in the strip to feed your addiction of choice. read more

I stopped by here while in town for work. What a cool place! Good selection of cigars & the espresso was excellent. With the warmer weather, you can sit outside, which is nice. Definitely stopping by here again next time I am in Pittsburgh. read more

It was 11am and I was near-death, needing coffee. I saw a little hand-painted sign advertising and was greeted with a blast of cigar smoke when I walked in. I can't say I've ever been to a cigar bar-meets-coffee shop, but I thought highly of this very eclectic place. read more

Coolest coffee car in town! Extremely unique decor, awesome cigar selection and awesome tunes. Very chill and veteran friendly too. Definitely check this place out! read more

Justin V's review is spot on... wandered into the Leaf & Bean yesterday while grocery shopping in the strip. The air smells a little smokey, but not heavily so, which is good because my wife and I don't smoke. But the place is so inviting, you'll want to stay a while as you enjoy your coffee. read more

Leaf & Bean - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

My bff and I wandered into this gem on a late Spring Saturday afternoon and we were instantly transported to Key West. We ordered two iced chai lattes and we requested some help picking out a cigar to share. The gentleman behind the counter was kind of enough to give us a thorough explanation of their product, which is grown in Honduras, and didn't treat us like idiots. We enjoyed the atmosphere, the awesome decor, the cigar, the lattes, and a HUGE plus-all of the dogs!!! read more

This is an eclectic mixture of a TGIFridays and a Cigar lounge. There are all kinds of crazy interesting things hanging all over the the walls, ceiling and floor.( Not unlike a TGIFridays) I especially loved the Motorcycle hanging from the ceiling and the claw foot bath tub. They have a nice-sized humidor and even have their own house brand cigars. I found an awesome article about them in THE CIGAR LOUNGER magazine. It is a FREE on line magazine that you can read ONLINE,on your IPAD or IPHONE. This place is truly a destination!! http://thecigarlounger.com read more

One of my favorite places to hang in the world. Phenomenal Cigars and Coffee. The Bean is always my number one place to visit when in Pitt

This place is super chill and good atmosphere. Selection of cigars are solid and above average and the folks are spot on with recommendations if you have any particular tastes for food or drink. Coffee is also solid. Great people watching the place as well. read more

They had my cigars i wanted, they had some WONDERFUL house brands. the decor is great the owner is chill as heck the place is amazing and they stayed open and let me buy my stuff because no one had locked up yet and it was 30 past closing... i mean stellar guys i spend 200 bucks that day and i wasnt planning on it great place read more

A great place for two ladies to get a latte after lunch. It is a cigar and coffee shop, so I am not sure that they are used to middle aged women poking around their store, but we had a blast. I've never had so much fun getting a cup of coffee! This was a first visit for me, but a staff with a sense of humor that can make a great latte will definitely see me returning this week. read more

Best Stress Relief in town. Infinite cigar to coffee with shot of bourbon pairings! ( Hide the flask. )

When I want a taste of Key West, I now know where to go. We stumbled across this gem in the strip. The owner Jim has a great knowledge of cigars, and can point you in the right direction. The atmosphere of this place is something I crave when I am on vacation. When I told him that it reminded me of Key West, he replied that he used to live there, and It is his favorite place. You can sure see it. A great place to just sit back and meet some new people, or enjoy a cup of coffee. I wasn't a huge fan of their espresso, but that isn't the reason you come here. You come to get away from it all! read more

Outstanding, Unpretentious, Comfortable, Kind, Eclectic, Accommodating, Perfect Time, the Right Cigar for the Right Time...These are just a few words and phrases that come to mind from my visits to Leaf & Bean on the Strip. We were treated with unpatronizing respect from the knowledgeable staff, outstanding assistance while perusing the well stocked Humidor...Loved the BYOB setup, they allow you to keep your beer/beverage nice and cold while you relax, drink and smoke in one of the most eclectic environment's I've seen this far north. Highly recommended!!! Plan on spending time at Leaf and Bean on the Strip every time You are in Pittsburgh. See you guys Late January 2018...Smoke Drink Live. Regards! read more

Leaf & Bean - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

This is an earthy, convivial place in the Strip with a fine choice of cigars and very good coffee. A perfect location in a high traffic area. There is no pretense here. Just great cigars and coffee as well as good conversation. With all due respect for some of the reviewers here, why proceed to rate an establishment if it is not some place you would prefer to be in the first place. It's neither helpful nor productive for those who are looking for an honest review. This is a CIGAR and coffee joint. Cigars are a focal point of the business. If you like coffee, or tea, great, but don't complain about the smoke, smell, or anything else cigar related. Some of you folks just have too much time on your hands. read more

amazing place, but hours of operation kind of bad. they close too early. I like to go do work there whenever I don't need to be in the office. read more

We stumbled upon this place on a recent trip to Pittsburgh. Had to go back twice, my boyfriend was in love with the cigar selection, casual atmosphere. I liked it too.! lots of memorabilia, awesome vintage barber chairs to sit in.. great place to let the world go by for a few hours! read more

Great people, great cigars, great coffee, great music. Get it? This place is Great.

Cool for what it is - cigars, beer, coffee, and live music. Very chill vibe and bar staff seem witty and relaxed. Crowd is middle-aged slightly-ruffian and seem to know the fringe acts that make their way thru. Fun place, but unless you want two lungs full of cigar smoke, head somewhere else on this wonderful strip. read more

Decent coffee shop and cigar store. Had a chai tea latte that was alright and an Acid Blondie which I appreciated get much. Good place to hang out with friends; also, it's BYOB so keep that in mind! The indoors decor is along the lines of "your one dorky uncle's garage," packed with a variety of vintage items and Hawaiian shirts. The smell of cigars is rather overpowering - I wish they had a better air ventilation system; after I left the establishment, the smoke smell was still very strong on my clothes. Otherwise, it's a chill place to hang out (definitely don't study here). read more

I've never been to cuba (stupid embargo) but based on my extensive knowledge from the two movies I've seen that have scenes set there, this is a little slice of Havana. In theory I want to like this place. There is a large walk-in humidor, and pairing coffee and cigars sounds so... so manly. You enter through large garage doors to a coffee bar and lots of comfortable seating areas in a dimly lit and enticing place. It seems as though Castro or Ché could walk in at any minute. This is the place, however, that got me off cigars. See, every time I've been here it feels humid and smoky and although there is a huge garage door, the smoke just lingers. I don't smoke cigars very often anymore at all, but if I'm going to go somewhere that people do, I'd prefer a place that is indoors with one of those high powered ventilation systems. A place where I can choose between an after dinner coffee and a scotch. On Saturdays in warm weather this place has live music (they may have that Sundays as well, I'm not sure) and that is a nice feature, but I personally cannot imagine trying to play and sing in a could. One note: in my matriculating days I smoked the occasional clove cigarette because I thought I was smart and, let's face it, smoking a clove is like smoking Christmas. I purchased a pack there one day and was sternly told if I wanted to smoke them i needed to go elsewhere because "It bothers the cigar smokers". As if...! Im giving this a 3-star rating because if you are into cigars and coffee this is a pretty cool place. I've mostly outgrown my cigar days and I don't like washing my clothes more than I need to so The Leaf and Bean has little draw to me anymore as there are far better smelling coffe places in the strip. If you like cigars though, check it out! You just may love it. read more

Great place in the strip district on 22nd st. They sell coffee and cigars and it's a BYOB place. People bring in beer, whiskey, wine, etc, but they also have a cooler with soft drinks for sale. On Saturdays, they have live music which is usually an acoustic performer or a small band. It's VERY smoky, but that's to be expected from a cigar bar. The lattes are excellent and they have a big walk in humidor with cigars for purchase or you can bring your own. In the summer, they open a big garage type door and they have outdoor seating. The place is covered with antiques and cool signs on the wall and ceiling and they have almost a tropical theme, but not overwhelming. There's plenty of seating (old barber chairs in the very back), a couple TVs, and they have all the supplies you would need for cigars - lighters, matches, cutters, lighter fluid, ash trays. The staff there is very friendly. read more

Great coffee, atmosphere and cigars. Great prices.

Not the largest humidor but a great selection. Everyone here is always super friendly. Favorite place to smoke in Pittsburgh.

As a cigar smoker who has been nearly everywhere good smokes are consumed, I am happy to give Jim and Company the highest rating. The humidor is great, his "house" sticks are amazing and the environment is one of a kind. You should come here, but not too many of you we don't want to ruin it. read more

We went to this coffee shop/cigar lounge in Pittsburgh's Strip District on a Saturday. It's a really cool place that has the flavor of Key West or South Florida. There was an acoustic guitarist when we were there who was very talented. They have a large selection of coffee and have a walk in humidor for all the cigar aficianados (and yes, smoking is permitted in the lounge). They have tables both outside and inside the shop. We loved the place and would definitely go back there again! read more

This place is by far the coolest place in the strip. Great atmosphere and everyone who frequents there welcome newcomers. Relaxing place with a nice selection in the humidor and live music every Saturday. If you like cigars this place should definitely be on your list of places to visit read more

This place is awesome. Friendly people, Caribbean atmosphere, great selection of cigars, and it's BYOB! There is also live music every Saturday between noon and 3. If you are in the Strip, you have to check it out. read more

I don't even smoke cigars, but I just like being here enjoying the atmosphere and drinking coffee.
