Any time I'm in Pittsburgh, I always make sure I stop here for coffee. The barista's are extremely knowledgeable and incredibly personable. The coffee is delicious and the vibe is impeccable!
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!
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!
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 $6 with oatmilk which is expected at this point Lots of study space, bird decor, and open late!
What a great coffee shop! It's on the bottom floor of an office building. Bird themed, there are bird books and stuffed animals everywhere. Plenty of seating in two rooms and parking out front. My hot ube latte was excellent and my wife enjoyed her iced latte.
Best study cafe I've found here so far. Med student here and perfect imo to get a good weekend afternoon studying done and pick up some groceries from whole foods. pandan latte is 5$ and delicious, banana hazelnut muffin is great. beautiful seating-- some couches, some smaller seats, a tall table and a normal big table, really nice quiet ambience, lots of outlets, service is nice and very homey would happily be a regular here
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.
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.
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.
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.
Why are more people not talking about it Redstart Roasters? This coffee shop is the full package. It has a parking lot, which can get full. There are several different seating types, a big shared table with outlets, as well as some chairs and an outdoor table. WiFi is good. Drinks are reasonably priced, especially in comparison to other coffee shops. The coffee is also so high quality. They have pastries including some gluten free! The gf chocolate chip scone is one of the best I've had. You can definitely still have a conversation there but I would say most people are pretty locked into their work so it is also a good place to focus. Staff are friendly and helpful. They also have unique tea options which I appreciate. 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

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

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

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

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

Cozy, relaxed, spot with a modern design. Lots of people working (or at least sitting on their laptops), so it felt more like a coworking space than a café. The molé drink was nice, as was the pour-over. Large selection of specialty coffee and the barista took great care with drink preparation. 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
Came here to do some school work with a friend. Quiet cafe where everybody is being productive, so I was being very productive as well. I loved the vibes and atmosphere. I ordered a maple latte and it was delicious! Absolutely LOVE that they have a parking lot, a rare find in the city! read more
I didn't realize Bureau was replaced by Redstart! While they will be missed, I loved my coffee order at Redstart (ube latte- creamy and sweet without feeling like you're drinking hot ice cream) and liked the vibe in the seating area. The staff and most patrons wore masks, and there was hand sanitizer available as well. 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
