Redstart is a wonderfully calm coffee shop. I was able to find a space to work and the main room was totally quiet. That being said, I'm not sure how much of a social space this is, but there's two rooms and the first definitely had more chatter. I had a wonderful dirty chai latte and a pumpkin muffin. I always appreciate shops that serve their drinks in glassware instead of paper or plastic. And I really enjoyed learning about their mission of sustainability! read more

Love the concept of this cafe! The bird facts and activism scattered around really sets this place apart, plus it's a nice, quiet atmosphere to study/work in. The coffee here is really solid, especially enjoyed the Pandan Latte ! The coconut scone was also far better than I expected, really recommend for any other coconut lovers. Their flavors were solid, with some fun and unique ones as well. Overall a great spot to sip a drink and lock in with a super interesting designed area, love it! read more

Very cute and warm cafe. I popped in on a snowy day to people chatting and working on their computers. The staff working the counter was very kind and helped me with my order. I chose a decaf tea that was perfect. I wish there was a bit more variety in seating. I appreciated how many outlets they had! read more

Was blown away to find $2 drip in Pittsburgh, and really quality drip also. I threw a vegan chocolate chip cookie on top which was absolutely excellent. The whole vibe in this place reminded me of Brooklyn. Barely an empty seat, people working/talking/hanging out. Glad I stopped into this place I will 100% be back! read more

Great service, genuine passion for each of the products! I had never been so excited to try a steeped tea, and it was yummm, like think may not need to add sugar yumm. Vibe is great, with a variety of seating styles (though I did wish there were more tables). Another pleasant surprise, the prices, I didn't realize affordable tea or coffee was still out there, so color me pleasantly surprised. Would absolutely return, fingers crossed on getting a table next time! read more

First ube latte!! Color wise it looks a bit off, but it was the perfect ratio of espresso to milk to a touch of sweetness from the ube flavoring $6 with oatmilk which is expected at this point Lots of study space, bird decor, and open late! read more

What a great coffee shop! It's on the bottom floor of an office building. Bird themed, there are bird books and stuffed animals everywhere. Plenty of seating in two rooms and parking out front. My hot ube latte was excellent and my wife enjoyed her iced latte. read more

This is a nice coffee shop and not too badly priced. I got my latte for $5. They do not have many options for syrup. There is a parking lot with the shop. Inside, I sat at an arm chair and did my work. There was one long table many people sat at and used. The service was fast because it wasn't too busy that Sunday afternoon. read more

My daughter and I stopped by here while taking a break. It was a nice clean space with great lighting. Glad they had parking. I ordered the maple latte and it was delicious, smooth and comforting. My daughter loved their lavender latte. The guys there were nice and helpful. We were lamenting how all these great spots are now in E Liberty as we're basically permanently existing with my parents finally closing their business after fifty years (hence us needing a break that day). It's neat to see how much has changed in that area though so if we're ever back for nostalgic reasons, we'd def stop back in here for a good cup of coffee/latte. But I grabbed a couple bags to bring back home to enjoy. read more

Local bird themed coffee shop in East Liberty. Coffee is pretty cheap (around $5) but their scones were deceptively expensive ($4), although it was tasty! Got the garlic cheddar one (comes wrapped in plastic wrap and not warmed up) and it was delicious microwaved for a few seconds. Super garlicky and cheesy and not dry at all -- it was almost a bit stringy like a crab cake (I think from the cheese?) I liked the texture but it was definitely not the typical crumbly scone texture I'm used to. I also got an ube latte which was good (they can make all drinks decaf btw! helpful because I can't handle caffeine) but didn't really taste anything like ube. Friendly and quick service, and lots of seating inside -- looked like a really good & relatively quiet place to work. read more

Mocha and blueberry muffins were good! Staff was kind and atmosphere was very welcoming.

As I mentioned in my previous review, their ube and pandan syrups are sweeteners that lacked the distinct flavors of the ube and pandan, even though they are the correct food coloring. I brought up the issue about their sweeteners to the barista, and all he did was nodding without addressing my concern. That's why I've reduced my rating to three stars. read more

Is the heart of East Liberty lays this local coffee shop. Located in an old building. If you ever need a pick me up and this place has your back. The coffee is always available and the pastries are delicious. A lot of seating for the free Wi-Fi crowed. Love the employees there and their enthusiasm. read more

Peak place to relax and do work/read. The coffee is super cheap and good, and the baristas are really nice!

Coffee is yummy. I like that if you are hanging in the coffee shop they will give you an actual mug instead of wasting a paper one (SAVE THE PLANET!). My complaint is that from the outside this place looks HUGE! But on the inside it is very small and has very little seating. I came on a Friday and had to share a couch with another person I didn't know. Not a very functional workspace. Service barista behind the counter was friendly and efficient. I wish they had another milk alternative besides regular dairy and oat milk.... I think establishments forget some people are allergic to oats and lactose (aka me!). read more

Very aesthetic industrialist type vibe coffee shop! I ordered a matcha latte and it was lightly sweetened (per my request) and served in a thick mug. My friend ordered a cortado and paid $1 for oatmilk. She's a vegan and she mentioned that $1 is the highest she's ever been charged to sub for oatmilk. Usually, it's $0.50-$0.75 extra. What was crazy to her was that the drink was so small (in volume) that it was literally a splash of oatmilk that she paid $1 for. We both had two of the available vegan baked goods. My little berry oat square was $4, the same as my drink, and though tasty, I felt was a little overpriced. My friend had the blueberry muffin and it was moist, packed with blueberries, and not overly sweet. The decor and brightness of the space was inviting. It would be a great place to work remotely. Overall, good vibes, just maybe a little pricey for what you get. read more

Free parking, good coffee, lots of seating. Overall the whole experience here is fantastic. Out of any other coffee shops I've been to in the pittsburgh area this one has the best prices for the quality of the coffee. I also love that they roast their own beans (bird friendly coffee) and the place is covered with the cute little birds they sell at target and other various bird decor. Very cool coffee shop and great place to sit for a few hours to study!! read more

bird-themed coffee shop! their drinks are great and their interior is a great cozy study spot. use google maps navigation (walking mode) to find the entrance if needed! the doors are usually open but if they're not it might be hard to spot the entrance. not the most crowded but the one table that's best for working gets pretty full quickly. however, there's a lot of nearby couches and other seats you can work on. i love the coffee beans they sell as well: they make a good gift. read more

I really love this coffee shop! It is a hidden gem in East Liberty. I've been here a handful of times now and every time I go it's pretty empty and quick. It's a great place to study or do work. They have tables and couches set up inside. They have a smaller menu but it's the basics, which is all you really need. They also have a couple pastries too. I like their beans a lot and the message behind them (Bird friendly); I even bought some espresso beans from them to make my lattes at home! They also have a parking lot in front if you drive there. read more

Nursing student here - this is the best coffee shop to study at! The atmosphere is great, i come here weekly now to get some studying in. Between the big table and the cozy couches, along with the best lattes ever this coffee shop is amazing!! read more

Redstart Roasters - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I stopped by here earlier today with my wife for our morning coffees. We have been trying to hit up local coffee shops every Sunday but had business in East Liberty which made this visit happen on a Saturday. Redstart Roasters is located in the bottom story on an office looking building right across North Euclid Ave from Garland Parklet. This inside of this coffee shop is actually quite large with two separate rooms. The first one is where you place your order and has some seating while the second one is all seating. Since the logo of Redstart Roasters is the American redstart, a lot of their decor is bird themed stuff. For our coffees on this morning I ultimately decided to have a pandan latte. Then I decided to order my wife a mocha, even though it wasn't on the menu as most places can still make it. That ended up not being the case here and I eventually ended up ordering her an iced coconut latte. Our drinks were ready quickly and I was out the door and on our way. My drink ended up being quite good with the coffee and sweetness at the beginning and then some bitterness and flavor from the pandan at the finish. I also tried my wife's coffee and liked that it was pure coconut from start to finish. What that meant though is that I couldn't taste the coffee much which was a bit of a shame since I thought it was good in mine. The bottom line for me is that i would stop by here again in the future. I like not only that they are a roaster (and would love to try an Americano), but also that they had a unique flavor in the pandan. read more

The non-coffee menu is somewhat limited, but I had a nice little Chai latte at the recommendation of the personable batista. Cute place, love the free, ample, close, and level parking in the lot that surrounds the building where the cafe is located. I would come back to work on my laptop, meet a friend for conversation, or just to sit and sip while reading a book in front of the big picture windows. read more

We have been trying to check out different coffee shops each week so we stopped here. The guy behind the counter was a bit rude when my wife ordered me a vanilla latte. He was extremely pretentious and rude about them not carrying something such as vanilla. Not sure why he had to be so rude about it. I went to sit down with our 3 year old while my wife ordered and didn't have a moment to look at the latte add ins they offered. I ended up with a lavender latte which was good but the amount was pretty lackluster for the price. The only positive from the experience were the bird books throughout. We really enjoyed reading these. Actually ordered one for our table at home. Aside from that, we won't be back. Plenty of other options with less arrogant staff. read more

Coffee here is great. Definitely worth trying one of the specialty drinks. I love that they've got a range of drink flavors without it having an overwhelmingly large menu. I've tried about all of it, but am biased towards the Pandan Latte. It's a relatively unique/rare drink to have around here, but I think they do it perfectly. It has a nice balance of the pandan plant flavor, sweetness, and espresso. Baristas seem pretty chill and will help educate you on their selection of bird-friendly coffees. This place is also great for light remote work and studying as it has plenty of seating and a large table in the back. The table in the back that makes it feel more like an open concept office, so I probably wouldn't take too many calls there. But they do have a small phone booth ready for that. read more

I was in East Liberty and wanted to caffeine up before I got home to do my run. I found this place on line. It's in a tucked away place on Euclid Ave. They have a nice menu of different coffees at very reasonable prices. I got a cappuccino for only $4.00. The atmosphere is very clean and quiet. I will be stopping in more often when I'm in East Liberty. read more

I didn't realize Bureau was replaced by Redstart!

I found this place randomly as I was looking for coffee shops within walking distance of my mechanic (Aaamo) while I waited for my car to be serviced. This place is kind of hard to find since it's off the beaten path inside an office building so it's not easy to see the storefront (which faces a parking lot). The ambiance is spacious with a few different brightly lit seating areas and I loved the bird-themed decor and their focus on conservation and sustainable coffee practices. The coffee was delicious and reasonably priced and they roast their own beans. It was a nice place to get work done on the wifi while I waited for my car. read more

I love so much about this place but the drinks I have had show they still have a bit of room to grow. The espresso in my iced latte was acidic and the iced matcha I got was completely clumpy and not blended well. Wondering if their hot drinks might be better, but still disappointing that my two go to drinks (and what i imagine are two really popular drinks) were quite poorly made. Other than that, if drink quality is not high on your priorities, the ambience is wonderful, the service is friendly, and there are plenty of charging ports -- making this a wonderful environment to do work in! read more
