This was a very interesting spot because it's basically a coffee shop and cocktail bar rolled into one. During the day I'm assuming it's more of go to for getting a caffeine fix, and then by a certain time in the evening they switch to serving cocktails. They do offer small bites and yummy desserts I believe, but we just stuck to cocktails. I will say, the cocktails aren't cheap, but they're not outlandishly overpriced either either. The overall atmosphere was pretty relaxed and people coming in varied from casual to a little more dressy. I'd describe the ambiance as feminine-modern/chic, so it's very current. It wasn't packed when we arrived on a Friday night close to 9 and it was easy to grab a high table for three of us. Definitely a chill spot for some casual cocktails. read more

MY girlfriend wanted to go to a quiet cafe nearby to get some work done, so I gave her a few options and she choose Margaux! What really stuck out to her was the interior design of the cafe and how vibey it felt. Margaux has a lot of tables and bar area where you can sit and chat with friends, or come and get some work done. They are still requiring you to order at the counter with a mask on, so take that into consideration when you come. She got a iced caramel latte, which at first wasn't sweet enough for her. When she asked the waitress this, she came back with some extra Carmel syrup and some simple syrup in order to make it sweet! This came at no extra charge, and the waitress was super friendly about it as well! She thoroughly enjoyed her latte after adding enough of the syrups to it, and it was just to her liking. I ordered the cappuccino, which came with some beautiful latte art and an awesome Margaux cup! The cappuccino tasted amazing, and I was craving one as I haven't had one in so long! This cafe is awesome! There are plenty of outlets in the bar area as well to ensure that all of your devices are charged. There were also a bunch of people in there around noon, but because the space is so big it was relatively quiet. They play some soft music in the background, which was a nice touch! Can't wait to come back here next time and try some of their food options, which I have heard to be absolutely amazing! 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

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. The only reason it's not 5 stars is the service was spotty. We sat for a bit (at the bar!) and were not greeted. We did not eat anything - but the food coming out looked good. read more

A friend and I spontaneously decided to go here and we were both pleasantly surprised. First off the staff was super friendly and attentive! Also decor and lighting are wonderful. It's definitely a more intimate vibe and would be great for a date or just hanging out with one or two friends. We decided to split several of their small plates, all of them were good - the baked ricotta definitely was a highlight. We also tried some of their cocktails and each one was great! Definitely would recommend this spot! Can't wait to go back. read more

Recently went to margaux for an after-dinner cocktail and had a good time! The vibes are cool and perfectly set the cocktail lounge experience. I got a champagne cocktail and thought it was really good. The only downside is that they don't have a wait staff, so you have to go up to the bar to order drinks & there can be a bit of a wait when they get busy.

Margaux is a really cool place for coffee and lunch and I love that it's so close to where I live! It took me a bit to try it, but I am glad that I did. I love that it's so open and all of the plants and decorations are great. The food is always good and I love that they mark vegan options directly on the menu. I want to come back in the evening for cocktails also since they are open late! read more

Love their "morning" menu. Wanted to order everything on the menu. Ordered avocado toast; added smoked salmon; asked them to skip the spice mix since it contains salt. Love the artsy but classy decor and hipster vibe. Excellent service. Sunday, I was able to park for free on the street. read more

First time in here and I was so pleasantly surprised! First issue could have been parking but they have a ton of street parking on every side of them. The decor is super cute, I would never had expected something so modern in Pittsburgh. Floor to ceiling glass windows, love the look but the sun is harsh inside at certain times of day. Almost need to wear sunglasses. They have a bunch of couches, a full bar, and then some high top/small 2 top tables to choose from. You order at the counter and take a number to your seat. I got the latte with oatmilk and honey lavender syrup added. This was probably the best coffee you can get in Pittsburgh. Adding syrups usually make coffee taste fake or far too sweet, but this was seriously perfect. Came out at exactly the right temperature to drink right away. I also got a breakfast sandwich which was VERY good! It had this pepper jelly on it which was to die for and everything was balanced nicely. The arugula, pepper jelly, egg that burst when you eat it, the biscuit was focaccia I think! So good! Wish this place was closer or I'd go more often! read more

Superb dining experience with a girlfriend tonight. Parked on the street right in front -- free after 5pm on this Tuesday evening. Seated ourselves at a hightop with other options of sofa and chairs, table, or bar. As we looked around trying to acclimate ourselves and figure out whether to go up to order or if there was table service, staff greeted us warmly and let us know they would bring us water and menus and be by often to take orders and tend to us (and they did). Menu options were plenty with small plates. We both ordered crab cakes. They came three to a plate with dipping sauce and an orchid. Very tasty, light, and filling. I ordered the pearl couscous salad and it was plenty to share between us. It was listed on the menu as vegan and had chickpeas, tomatoes, and onion in it. Wonderful, refreshing. We each ordered cocktails and both loved what we ordered, hers a citrus blend, mine pears and champagne. Then for dessert there were three choices and all sounded delectable. I opted for a chocolate and pear concoction, her a pecan and maple syrup sponge cake. We both agreed my chocolate and pear torte was the better of the two, but both were pretty divine. Service was friendly and there when needed. Presentation was eye candy. Ambience was fresh and modern. We both agreed we want to come back and try other drinks and edible treats. read more

What a lovely place! I had heard some rave reviews about this hip coffee shop / bar from friends, but had to see for myself! Their lattes are delicious! Nice, big, rich cups of aromatic coffee and velvety smooth milk - this ain't no franchise coffee! We also had their "breakfast sandwich," which is a delicious herb biscuit, filled with an egg, arugula, red pepper jam, and a sweet dressing. Really, REALLY tasty, and very satisfying. The staff were friendly, attentive, masked, and VACCINATED! There's lots of room to spread out, and overall, we felt safe and welcome. What a great outing - we'll be back!! read more

Margaux - Beautiful view! - Bars Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Man, I'd feel like such a cool person if I came here just to study. My friends and I ended up coming here for brunch. I ordered a breakfast sandwich and my friends got the mushroom toast. My breakfast sandwich was so good, y'all. The egg popped and was perfectly yolky, and the herb biscuit is something I still think about. I just think $8 was a bit pricey for the size of the sandwich. The toast was also $8, and though it was definitely larger than we thought it would be, we found that it was also a bit high for what we got. I got the muffin of the day, which was chocolate chip coconut. It was honestly a little dry. It tasted like something I could probably make at home, but I liked the combination of chocolate + coconut. They didn't fill my chai latte to the top, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Honestly, that herb biscuit is holding this review together. I truly stand by her and the ambience of this place. read more

Hello, Margaux! This chic new spot opened last week in East Liberty. I had the opportunity to stop by the preview party and get a sampling of what's to come. The menu includes French-inspired food, a full bar and a coffee bar. The baked ricotta and cheese/meat boards were fab and great for sharing. The desserts are made in house and is something you NEED to order while you're there. The place is perfect to snag some IG pics with your besties while lounging on the comfy sofas. If you're looking for a fun place to hang out, come up the Margaux! Brunch and dinner service will til our soon. read more

A bit of a coffee shop, a bit of a cafe, a bit of a bar. A lot of ambiance! A lot of flavor! My favorite on the menu is the croque monsieur with smoked salmon as a ham substitute and the herbed biscuit sandwich. It's not cheap but I appreciate the quality and shamelessly get both sandwiches for myself. They have a great matcha latte and do nice mocktails. read more

I cannot recommend Margaux enough. First and foremost, the food/coffee speaks for itself. Our servers were incredible and very accommodating to our group having separate checks. They were also able to squeeze us in last minute when we were desperate for a coffee shop to meet at! The decor inside is modern, clean, and refreshing. Street parking is pretty available as well! I had the croque monsieur and cold brew, both I would definitely go back for! read more

Came here on a Friday night and there was a nice crowd! It's a bit loud but you can still have a conversation. Still we were able to get a good table for all five of us. I like the vibes in here. It's bright and airy during the day and then it gets dim at night. We tried getting coffee here once late in the afternoon but they said they were closed so definitely come earlier if you're looking to get coffee and breakfast! At night, they have cocktails, wine, beer, dessert, and small bites. The desserts here are made by Harrison's Fine Pastries I believe and they make really good desserts. The cocktails here are pretty delicious! We tried the espresso martini, champagne cocktail, and the Royal Cup. We loved the espresso martini since they use real espresso. Not a lot of places do that, they'll usually use coffee liqueur. It had a nice floral flavor since they use vanilla and amaro too. Might've been one of the best ones I've had! I didn't love the champagne cocktail, it's sparkling rose with bitters and a Demerara sugar cube. It just tasted like sparkling rose in all honesty. Nothing special, I think I'd rather have had a glass of wine. My partner and friend loved their Royal Cup but it was too sour for me. It's got a real peachy flavor too it too that I didn't love. Our other friend really liked the French 75 cocktail on the menu. The mocktail here is also very good and refreshing! Definitely liked it a lot. My partner thought the drinks were a little too decadent. Would recommend this spot for a nice quality drink and chill place to hang out after dinner. The decor is beautiful and they have really beautiful plants. read more

I think I like coming here to work during the day more than the evening. My first trip here was having evening cocktails with a friend. Nothing to complain about except maybe the prices. It can add up very quickly. Then, I started coming to Margaux with my laptop during the day. Great working atmosphere. Chill. Plenty of seating. Outlets are never out of reach. The coffee and breakfast foods are still pricey, but also still delicious. I never liked runny eggs on my sandwich until I came here and accidentally got one. It was so good. But that's enough, I won't get it anywhere else. No need to risk being disgusted by runny eggs again. The combination of the savory egg with the arugula, cheese and sweet jam they used = perfection. read more

Loving this new hangout spot in East Liberty! Perfect for a full day of events and variety of wants. From a coffee shop with a lot of seating and natural lighting to a bar with mood lighting and different cocktail options, there's something for everyone! Coffeeshop: I can't emphasize anymore about the natural lighting because of the floor to ceiling windows! Solid coffee options, as well. Whether you're there to study or work from home, there are different seating options to choose from. There aren't that many outlets, however, so make sure to check wherever you decide to sit. I would also suggest staying away from the high tops/islands to work/study from because of the lack of leg room, making it uncomfortable to work on. They transition around 4pm, by turning down the lights and turning up the music. Bar: They constantly update their cocktail menu so you have more variety and options to choose from. I got the ROLLER GIRL and it was so delicious! I tend to enjoy drinks that are on the sweeter and lighter side so this was perfect for me. They also have options for small snacks and desserts. Service: Friendly service! Very helpful on giving suggestions on drinks. The only time I experienced subpar service was when I went with a bigger group (6 of us). The server seemed new as she appeared nervous and not very friendly, and seemed disorganized when taking our orders because she forgot to take my order. But otherwise, whenever I'm there with one other person, service is great! Interior: So many different seating options for whatever you're there for! Couches for catching up with friends or hosting a casual meeting, high tops, high tables, bar seating, or low tables. Also such aesthetic interior design from the lighting to the multitude of plants! It looks good no matter the time of day! tldr; Drinks 5/5 Service 5/5 Interior 4.5/5 read more

Holy f***! Omg. They are using Little Wolf espresso now, and it is SHOCKING how well the fruit profile holds up to milk. Raspberries and strawberries shining thru an 8 oz. whole milk cappuccino. Absolutely fabulous! It also incredibly helps that the baristas know precisely how to calibrate their grind and how to steam their milk to the perfect temperature. Margaux has no ascended to my favorite coffee shop in Pittsburgh, when it comes to drinking espresso drinks. Also, atmosphere is always fantastic. Employees are generally friendly. Etc. read more

What a fantastic addition to the Pitt social/study scene. This is the perfect spot the study during the day or for for drinks at night. (Or stay all day for both??) The decor, natural light, and copious outlets makes this one of my favorite places to work. The staff and so friendly and helpful as well- their recommendations have helped me find some of my new favorite drinks. I think this would be a 5 star stop for me if the music wasn't so loud. It's a sharp contrast to the very calming space. The base was so intense last time I actually needed earplugs. Still an incredible place! read more

This place is so beautiful! It makes you want to stay longer. We came for breakfast on the weekend, and there were plenty of seats available. I was promptly greeted by the hostess when I walked in. My cappuccino and almond croissant were really yummy. I was pleasantly surprised that my croissant not only had almonds on top, but also had an almond filling. I also ordered their blackberry cheesecake, but it was a bit underwhelming. I found out cheesecake mousse does not taste like cheesecake at all. For $13, I was expecting something more. Overall it was a pleasant experience. We stayed for nearly two hours, and our waitress was attentive and friendly. I would definitely come back for more! read more

Margaux is a nice place for one drink on the cusp of Shadyside and East Liberty. The decor and inside was cute, but the high ceilings caused the place to have a loud echo rather than a cozy environment. We went on a Friday night, and they were out of most beers which was disappointing, but my cocktail was good. Plan to pay a little more for a beer or cocktail than what you'd normally expect, but depending on the vibe you're looking for this would be a great night out with friends read more

Margaux was nice. The coffee tasted great. You can't definitely tell that they use a good espresso and know how to pour it. I also got a blackberry parfait; it was very tasty. The ambiance was very calm and modern. This would be a very nice place to study or do some work during the day. The cafe is located in the East Liberty neighborhood of Pittsburgh. There is outdoor seating, but sometimes there are some interesting characters depending on the time of the day. It appeared that they had a full bar, so I would like to return in the evening to check this out. read more

I first only come to Margux for the drinks. Once entering the space, I realized it had much more to offer! Margaux is a modern meets industrial location that has a cafe and bar. There are plenty if outlets and seating. This makes it perfect for office hours and being productive or spending time with friends. They have lots of plants, a feature that I love! I gives "I'm breathing clean air" vibes. The owner has a great diverse private collection of art work as well. Most importantly, the staff is very friendly and personable. I recently tried their crab cakes, a menu item recommended by the staff, and they are delicious. Unfortunately, if you're looking for a filling lunch or dinner, this is not the place for you. However, the crab cakes are full of crab with little to no filling! I was ready to order another order. I'm becoming a regular. read more

We came here after a yoga class and it was probably an hour or so before they were closing. So I do feel like I want to go back just because I don't think that we got the full experience because they were almost closing. The reason why I would like to go back is that a few of the drinks that I wanted to order they ran out of the ingredients to make them. I don't know if this was because it was late at night or if they just didn't have them to begin with. I also tried to order a cheese plate for our party just for a snack and another appetizer and they said that they couldn't because the kitchen was closed. I wasn't really understanding why the kitchen would close so much earlier than the bar but maybe that's what life after covid is like or maybe I just don't go out enough to fancy places. We were able to take a corner area and the chairs were very comfortable and the service was very attentive. The server was very apologetic about the kitchen and the ingredients that they were missing. Which I'm sure is not their fault but it was nice to hear that they may have cared. The drink that I ended up getting was very good I think it was a play on a Manhattan. It was strong and it hit the spot. I would definitely come back here to try their appetizers and drinks again. Hopefully this time I get there in time for the kitchen to be open and not at a time when they ran out of ingredients. read more

I LOVE this place! Margaux is a bar/coffee shop/cafe right on Penn Avenue in East Liberty. I love working here because it feels like I'm in an art gallery. The art is very cool and abstract, and the space is bright, open, and airy. It feels like a museum, without being stuffy. I have worked here in the day time at the bar and at a table. They have many different comfortable seating options. During the weekdays you order your coffee/food at the coffee bar, and on the weekends there is table service. I enjoy their oat milk latte and salmon avocado toast for day time. In the evening the lights get dim and it's a very cool spot to hangout. Their drink the "Royal Afternoon" is aperol based, and it's delicious! The Cabernet they serve is great too. My friends and I ordered the cheese plate and winter salad last time, and the cheese plate was perfect for sharing. Their desserts are INCREDIBLE. We shared the opera and caramel apple tart and both were as beautiful as they were delicious. I highly recommend this place for a coffee meeting, date night, or just to get a glass of wine and dessert at the bar! There is free street parking after 6 pm, and it is right on the bus line. read more
