I know it's more expensive than other coffee shops, but I have to say it's worth it! This space is so pretty and with a great vibe, huge open area with lots of windows and cozy seating. They have a full bar for a boozy brunch, but their classic cafe is great! The spring special tangerine latte was one of the bets over had! The chicken salad toast was also delicious, with a pretty good portion size and some of the best chicken salad honestly had. It's a super great place to hang out, do some work, or read, really love it! read more

What a cool spot in East Liberty! Margaux has both a cafe portion and a bar in the same location. I came here when it was later at night, so I didn't get to see the cafe in all its glory. But, from what I had at the bar, I can tell it's a nice spot. I don't drink alcohol, so I just got a mocktail. I can't quite recall what it was called, but I thought it was awesome. It was sparkling and had a nice fruity and herbal flavor to it. Really good mocktail. My buddy got a cocktail and said it was quite good as well. The service is nice, the views are pretty cool if you're sitting by the windows, and the overall vibe of the place is super cool. I would definitely recommend this spot, and would like to come back for small plates or pastries and coffee in the morning! read more

Margaux is always one of my favorite spots in Pittsburgh for coffee and a little brunch. I love the vibe in there, staff are always so genuine and sweet, and service is incredible and quick. I always go for the Chicken Salad toast but my friend and i came and also tried the Sweet Potato hash toast and that was one of the most amazing things i've ever had!! read more

I am here for more hours than I am at my home some days. This place has a great ambiance and is perfect for every vibe: hanging out with friends, getting work done, informal meeting, date, etc.... There are very few places you can get a beer and finish up some work and this is one of them. They also have great cocktails, coffee, and food. I mean what more could you ask for. I got the croque monsieur (8.9/10) last time which was very filling and good but the lemon vinaigrette on the side salad lowkey had me feeling some type of way....I couldn't stop thinking about it afterwards. It was so yummy, both fresh and tart. Anyways, tldr I love this place. It's everything you could ask for in a cafe/bar/third space. read more

Beautiful bright and open coffee shop. It's great for meeting w friends, working or having a bite to eat. The space is very big and lovely. Staff was responsive and friendly. I got a good cup of tea and breakfast and breakfast sandwich. Food was great - high quality and delicious. My tea and sandwich were $17 w tax. Tip extra. I needed a place to work and really appreciated how much room there was and the plugs. It was busy but I still found space. I'd come back to work and snack again. read more

Okay I need to come on and post an updated review since I came for brunch today. It was AMAZING. I ordered the avocado toast and jasmine tea. The brunch toast was a decent size and it was so good! My friend ordered the chicken salad toast and also loved it. There was a decent crowd but we were able to find a table without a wait. Also love that street parking is free on Sundays. Im 100% coming back for another brunch! read more

A group of five of us stopped by yesterday at noon. It was a little tough to find a place for all of us but it worked out in the end. Pretty much every seat was taken but it never felt overly crowded since the space is so big. We all got coffee and a couple of people got food. We spent a little over two hours there planning a trip and it was the perfect spot to do it. They have free WiFi so it's also a good place to work from home. read more

Margaux - Iced coffee - Bars Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Okay, Margaux is a vibe! I met a friend here for breakfast. You go up to the counter to order and they will bring your food/drinks to you once ready. Seating I also self served. I ordered a chai latte and the Morning Salad, which has greens, fennel, tomato, cucumber, hard boiled egg, goat cheese, and lemon vinaigrette. My food and drink were not only beautiful, but also delicious! All of the staff we encountered were also very nice. During the day, this would be a great place to work at. That same evening I was driving by and noticed how Margaux looked after dark. The low lighting is moody and it just looked like a place to enjoy a cocktail at and just vibe. I will definitely be back in the evening to to check it out. Overall, it's a cute space with delicious offerings! read more

Right around the corner from the hotel, this was the perfect place to walk for breakfast. I had an iced chai and the avocado toast on sourdough, yum!

I'd heard so much good about Margaux that my expectations were perhaps too high. Regardless, I was a little disappointed. I was there at a time that turned out to be busy--not their fault-- and there was just one little open table in the very big, very loud room. Counter staff was nice . I ordered a veg breakfast sandwich and espresso tonic. It took a long time to get my food (and there weren't others ordering). It was good but overpriced and small and didn't come with a side. My espresso tonic was ok but I wished they'd used better tonic, something a little more biting and citrus. I'd go again, sure, but probably only if a friend invited me, and not during a mealtime rush. read more

The perfect spot for me. I come to Margaux to work often and have had some casual business meetings there as well. Here is why I love them: Open late with free wifi: Check Serves coffee late: Check Serves drinks late: Check Serves food: Check Lots seating with outlets: Check Lots of natural light during the day and great vibes at night: Check Food Is good: Check It can get busy on the weekends, so there might be longer waits for food. But I still come almost every day. read more

I have nothing but good things to say about Margaux! I stopped in for brunch and we split the avocado toast on sourdough along with the waffles with strawberries. I've had this avocado toast many times before and I have to say it may be my favorite I've ever tasted! It's always so fresh and flavorful. They never skimp on the avocado or the toppings and the sourdough is such a delight. The waffles were a wonderful sweet treat, I was obsessed with the whipped cream. Phenomenal food aside, the atmosphere and service is simply outstanding here. I've also visited in the evening for cocktails which was equally as magnificent an experience. Highly recommend visiting Margaux day or night, you can't go wrong! read more

My favorite part about Margaux is the space. I love how versatile it is, as it serves half as a bar half as a cafe. I come here a lot to study with friends, especially because it's open a lot later than most cafes are. The space is spacious and comfortable, with lots of natural lighting making it one of my favorite spots on a nice sunny day. The drinks and food are slightly overpriced and none of them really stand out. I think the food is slightly better. Their kitchen menu is the best of their food, with my favorite being the chorizo croquettes. They are pretty small croquettes though. Sometimes the drinks, especially the matcha, feels a bit watered down. They have pretty good happy hour deals though, and I would recommend that over the cafe menu. read more

Margaux in East Liberty is a truly great European inspired cafe!!! By day, it's the perfect spot to sip on a specialty coffee while lounging on cozy couches--by night, the space transforms into a sophisticated cocktail bar! Offering small plates, light bites, coffees, cocktails & desserts. I recently stopped by to try their seasonal café menu and was impressed. The root beer espresso float was so good--made with house-made sassafras root beer and oat milk cold foam infused with coffee and caraway. It was simple, caffeinated, and tasted just like a classic root beer float with a grown-up twist. I loved it! The sage latte was whimsical and floral but not overly earthy . I also had a croissant, which was flaky, light, and absolutely delightful. I can't wait to go back and experience the nighttime vibe at Margaux. If the cocktails are anything like the coffee, it's going to be a standout spot. read more

On a morning walk through this area of Pittsburgh, I stumbled upon this gem. What an exceptional use of the building space! High ceilings, multiple sitting areas to accommodate all group sizes or for communal seating. The center of the room hosts a full bar which makes me want to return for a cocktail and check out the afternoon vibe. I enjoyed a cup of drip coffee, but I'm perty sure I'll try something different for my second cup. read more

Love this place, it's such a treasure! Spent an evening there recently doing some work +having glass of to wind down. Service was a little slow but the staff super nice. Hummus platter was yummy and plenty of veggies and pita that would be enough for 2-3 people. And of course the ambiance was wonderful! read more

Margaux - Seating area. Very cozy and posh! - Bars Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Stopped in for a few after dinner drinks, and one thing made me feel the need to leave a review. I'll start with the pros. Cocktails were delicious and reasonably priced. Ambiance was absolutely lovely. Service was fine, our waiter may have just not been in the best mood. The thing I had a problem with was their draft pours. A cider on tap was $9, a little expensive for a pint, but not crazy. Instead of a pint, I was served a champagne flute full of cider, aka, about 8oz. An absolutely ludicrous price for a draft cider, considering the typical mark up even on a regular full pint. TLDR: Great spot for cocktails, but don't order a drink of tap here. read more

Bright, clean, aesthetically pleasing casual spot. Street parking only so that's the only down side of this. We came here for breakfast and we both ordered the Croque Monsieur-a croissant with smoked ham, swiss cheese and a side of greens w/lemon vinaigrette dressing. You can opt for egg or avocado for an additional $2. Perfect portion for breakfast. Our sandwich came out fresh and pippin hot. Croissant was soft buttery and flakey. Yum! Definitely a solid spot. It was quiet and relaxing. I saw a few people here with their laptops. Personally, I think this is a much better spot to get some work done versus a loud coffee shop. read more

Coffeehouse by day, bar at night... what more could you ask for! Margaux was a cool spot to check out in the East Liberty area, especially on a Friday night. There's a ton of space, cool lighting, and great vibes but there is not nearly enough seating for everyone inside so come a bit early to snag a seat. Kind of gave me the vibes of a SoHo loft with the high ceilings, white beams, and large windows... pretty cool! The solstice spritz was great and so was the aged rum cocktail I ordered as well. I originally wanted the orange cocktail but they were out so looks like I'll have to try it next time! Since the bar got pretty busy, the service at the side tables was alright. My table was only checked on once, which was when we first ordered, and we stayed for about an hour and a half. They seemed understaffed and my party and I were not upset since we were enjoying our time. Glad I stopped in! read more

Super aesthetic little cafe in East Liberty, with lots of comfy seating (think couches and armchairs). Could definitely be a great place to work from home -- it's not too loud, they have free wifi if I remember correctly, and the food and drinks are perfect for snacking on. Went here with a friend to get a light brunch -- we both got matcha, and for food I got the sweet potato toast and she got a croque monsieur -- basically a croissant sandwich. For the price, the portions are pretty small, but I like to think I'm also paying for the beautiful ambiance and cute plating. The food here is very Instagrammable :') You order at the counter and they bring the food to you when it's ready, so service is really quick and efficient. Water and everything else is self serve -- you're left alone after your food is served, which is nice because you don't feel rushed at all! read more

Super cute place in East Liberty...when you can actually get a drink here. My husband and I have now stopped in twice for a night cap and have been turned away as last call had already been made. The first time this happened we came in around 10:45 on a Saturday night. Bar was still plenty full but we were told they close at 11 and already did last call. Okay, fair we were in close to closing time. Tonight we got there at 10:25. Their posted closing time is 11pm, should be plenty of time for 1 drink. Nope. We were informed last call on Tuesdays takes place at 10pm. If you are going to post you close at 11pm, but call last call a full hour before closing time you need to adjust your published/posted hours. This was the last time we will be stopping in Margeaux. I'll spend my money in another East Liberty establishment. read more

When I walked in, I felt like I'd stepped into a cool new wing at Phipps Botanical Garden. A wealth of plants and art work just strange enough to look hip. Beautiful seating options from couches to lounge chairs, and a giant wrap around bar. This place made a reformed dive bar connoisseur feel positively upscale. And the bartenders: MIRACLE WORKERS. They made me and the lass accompanying me 3 rounds of the most gorgeous looking drinks, an assortment of vibrant colors with flower petals and dried fruits adorning the glasses. And what charisma they possessed! Nearly as much as I do, which is rare. They operate as a cafe all morning, but get speakeasyish around 4 I think. Great place to impress a date and feel like you're fancy. Though I did see a local bum bathing in the bathroom. And the music leaves a bit to be desired. Liven the soundtrack up a little, will ya? read more

Absolutely fabulous experience here for lunch. I wanted a quiet place to work on an upcoming trip, and this was perfect. Light, beautiful surroundings amidst (mostly) comfortable furniture. The latte I had was so tasty, though I hardly wanted to touch it it was so beautiful! The star was the chicken salad toast that I added avocado to. OH OH so good. The chicken has been marinated and chopped with (I think) either grapes or cherries. The topper was (I think) oregano micro greens - and man did they add just the right zing! You order at the counter, get a number for your table, and a barista brings it all to you. The service was excellent. The wifi worked perfectly. I had a fab experience and def will be back! read more

This cafe reminds me of the cafes in Los Angeles. I loved it. Other than the fact that they were super busy due to being flooded with people before the PITT game and we ended up standing there waiting for 5 minutes before anyone even waited on us. Lol. It was completely full and their cooks and baristas were crazy busy so I understand the confusion. No worries! I must say their food looked amazing! It definitely had Urth Caffe vibes and that made me smile a lot. So my patience was solid due to that. The guy who finally waited on us was like do you have a to-go order and I was like no we just want to order a couple of cold brews. He was like, Damn, I'm sorry that's the easiest order I've had all morning. My apologies. We have never been this busy. Super cool dude! I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area visiting friends. read more

Just my vibe. This is going to be my new neighborhood spot. Don't come here looking for hype or family meals. This is a dainty place with yummy drinks and small bites. My favorite feature is the spaciousness. We visited on a Saturday between lunch and dinner. It wasn't crowded though some playful neighborhood kids were taking up outside chairs lol Again, I loved how spacious this place was. Lots of couches and chairs in their little nooks. A large bar in the center of the place with plenty of seating. Its cool inside! Modern and trendy decor, giant plants to cleanse the COVID air. Service was great. Our server was down to earth, attentive and kind. I got the beet salad. It was perfect to hold me over til dinner (with friends in the suburbs). I'll definitely return with friends after work. I want to try every drink on the menu. read more

So rare to find a place that's good for as many situations as Margaux. I've been here for coffee and breakfast, to meet a friend for a chat, to get out of my house and do work for a bit, and I'd love to stop by sometime for a cocktail. The atmosphere is gorgeous! Small menu but everything I've tried has been great, the muesli is my fave! Coffee drinks are great and service is always friendly. read more

Interesting vibe here. Half the place is coffee and then there is a bar in the middle. Good beer selection with some nice Belgians featured.
