    Chai latte with vanilla
    Jayme B.

    I stop in here sometimes when I'm in the strip district. Every time I go, the staff is always so friendly. The space itself it open and airy which I appreciate. I've had both the macha and chai lattes. Most recently, I added a splash of vanilla to my chai latte and it was perfection. They also have a small selection of Syrian snacks. My favorite is the Syrian hummus. So good! Definitely check this place out- right in the heart of the strip!

    I go to Novaria often, and it never disappoints. The coffee and tea are high quality and always made well. Their pastries are also worth trying if you get the chance. The staff and owner are consistently friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. The ambiance inside is warm and inviting, and it is even nicer on a beautiful day when they open the front to Penn Avenue. I highly recommend stopping by Novaria if you are in the Strip District.

    What a find! This is a Syrian cafe in the Strip district surrounded by various stores and restaurants. The quality of the coffee is really good. I tried their Back Home Latte (which has date paste and cardamom). It only had subtle sweetness which I loved, and it really was delicious. My husband got traditional Arab coffee and he enjoyed it. The pastry, kleisha was wonderful with various spices and date paste, once again not sweet at all! All their traditional pastries are made in house. The service was really friendly and helpful. They pretty much said we'll cater the drink to whatever your needs are The space is not large, but just enough seatings (they also have small seating area outside). Cannot wait to come back here next time!

    Mexican coffee ;) lol jk delicious Syrian coffee.

    I honestly like the coffee a lot the ambiance, the barista was so knowledgeable and very helpful in explaining their menu and you can smell the coffee across the street. Recommend the Syrian coffee and some peaceful place to get some work done.

    The owner was friendly and the pomegranate matcha was delicious. Cute little place, love that they had the window open to the street on a nice fall day!

    It's a small Syrian cafe but the vibes are amazing. The coffee was 4.5/5 and the spinach pocket pastry I had was 3/5, the filling was quite dry for my liking. The people are really warm and friendly though.

    Unique coffee shop in the strip. I ordered a Syrian coffee and my friend ordered a rosewater matcha. They also have standard coffee drinks if you're not feeling as adventurous. The presentation of my coffee was beautiful and I really enjoyed the little cookie served on the side. Reasonable prices and service was very friendly. I think this coffee shop is a nice addition that harks to the diversity of the strip district and will definitely come back!

    Back Home Latte
    Serinee T.

    I'm visiting Pittsburgh for a short trip and really craved a great coffee, and I found it at Novaria Coffee! I got the Back Home latte (iced and warm) and it was so delicious both ways. I was a bit hesitant to order this because of the date paste, but it's quite actually a perfect sweetener. The drink itself isn't too sweet and is so delicious with the cardamom notes. I am so obsessed and would highly recommend anyone to try this latte and shop in general. I'll definitely be back!

    So great!! Stumbled upon here while walking around in the Strip and I'm glad I did! I got the iced back home latte which had date paste and cardamom. I'm definitely super picky about my coffee and hate when it is super sugary and sweet. This latte had the perfect mid level of sweetness and great flavor! The espresso was super smooth too. My boyfriend got the classic vanilla oat milk latte and it was good too!

    Pistachio rose water matcha
    Eri L.

    Back home latte was great! It's espresso, milk, date paste and cardamom-- definitely on the stronger side, with the date paste and cardamom balancing out the natural bitterness of coffee very well. Also tried their pistachio rose water matcha, which was more pistachio forward. There's several individual/two person tables inside as well as couches in the back. Staff was very friendly and drinks came out quickly.

    The drinks were very good! It was a quiet, authentic coffee shop! Service was good and helpful!

    Hot cocoa
    Abby A.

    Craving a hot chocolate. Likes were quite long at Allegheny tea on a cold day in the strip but it was quick and easy here and the prices and size of drink were good. Service was quick and ambiance good. It was a good stop for a bustling and busy shopping day.

    Honey oat vanilla latte
    Beatrice V.

    Really cute Syrian coffee shop in the strip district! Menu includes both classic and unique coffee drinks. Unique drinks including a shakerato and oji which is a Japanese style of drip coffee. Nicely decorated on the outside and inside. There's some seating inside and a small table outside. The guy who was working here was really friendly and helped me decide what to order. I first ordered the back home latte - a latte with date paste and cardamom. The flavor was unique and interesting but I learned that I don't think I love cardamom so it wasn't my favorite. I also thought it was a little on the sweet side. I tried a different latte another day, the honey oat vanilla latte. I thought this one was delicious! It kind of tasted like cereal milk, in a good way. I usually order drinks less sweet and would recommend ordering this one as is. It's really nicely balanced. They have a pistachio rose water matcha on the menu that I'm interested to try one day too. They sell some pastries and other food items as well. I tried the za'atar croissant which was flaky, seasoned well, and delicious.

    The shop itself was very quaint. The Turkish coffee with small treat was delicious! I would definitely go again when in the Strip District.

    I heard this was one of the famous bakeries I must check out in Pittsburgh. I got their pistachio…read moreeclair, ham and cheese croissant, and almond croissant -- all tasted wonderful and light. The croissants were great when you lightly air fry/toast them if you don't eat them right away. In Lawrenceville, it's a small location with a couple of outdoor seating but none inside. However, it is a chain so you might have one in your little area. My only thing is that the pistachio eclair is very sweet (so if you don't have a sweet tooth, maybe I'd go for another subtler dessert). I saw they have a deal where you can get a baguette, sandwich, and drink for $7. Good deal imo considering the quality of their bread, and it's a good excuse to buy a sweet treat with it!

    La Gourmandine is always a solid choice, and our Thanksgiving order proved it again. We picked up a…read morepumpkin tarte and an apple tarte--each meant to serve about six--and both were delicious. The flavors were balanced, the pastry was buttery and delicate, and they looked as good as they tasted. The total came to $50.65, which feels pretty standard for a French bakery once you understand the baseline is a bit higher than your typical American dessert spot. For the quality, it's well worth it. Consistently great, reliably tasty, and perfect for special occasions or whenever you want to treat yourself. The staff is friendly. It's usually busy here and not conducive to eating inside.

They have two cases of their delicious looking pastries, one table of discounted items, and a case serving hot items. Open that case and serve yourself the hot mini quiches and empanadas. Started with a mini quiche and a beef empanada. Hubby liked his quiche. I'm not a fan of olives and they were all over my beef empanada. Will not be getting that one again. The kind young lady behind the case helped us order our very first Burnt Almond Torte. It comes in different sizes and we chose the bar as it easily serves two. She even gave us sporks to eat it with. We really loved the Burnt Almond Torte. The inside has a soft, moist vanilla cake layered with a thin layer of icing and enrobed with more icing and topped with the buttery, crunchy almonds. We will be back for more.

I started with the quiche and enjoyed it; the crust was just average but the egg filing was very good. My wife was not a fan of the empanada so we will not get that again. It was around 10 hours before we tried our Burnt Almond Torte...wow! That dessert is something that I will eat again, and again. The toasted almonds were soooo good! They were crunchy, crispy, and perfect. The Bar Cake had a white cake inside and icing on the outside; it was heavily coated in those almonds. The person who assisted was knowledgeable about the items to a point; she did not eat anything in the bakery so it was by observation. Don't care, that Burnt Almond Torte is the real deal!
