My experience was limited because I got coffee and a cookie. But this reeses cookie is one of the best cookies I have ever eaten in my life. I thought I was being gluttonous by ordering it but it was worth the billions of calories. Get one and thank me later. My macchiato is delicious, hot and well flavored, not too sweet. Service was quick and efficient and it's like most coffee shops in Pittsburgh, chill, quaint, and cozy. read more

Ruckus Cafe - Coffee + cookie - Cafes Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Really solid spot! It's been on my list to try and I was nearby and gave it a shot. The service is very friendly and helpful. I came in on a Saturday afternoon and the breakfast menu was available. I ordered a Cali wrap and matcha latte. The Cali wrap came up first. It was warmed well and delicious. The matcha latte was larger than expected and made well. They offer a variety of milk options, definite pro. Good spot to eat, catch up with friends, or study. Great spot! read more

Went here after treasure hunting at Mt Carmel Flea Market. Party of 9. Took the tables by the door. They were transitioning to lunch menu. Said just no waffles from breakfast menu. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. The food was delicious. Got the small harvest salad and that was plenty. The chicken added was a lot. And everything was very fresh. Bridal shower in back room , so I couldn't see the size. Small but clean bathroom. Other food no pictures was the Strawberry Ricotta Toast( very large ), Buffalo Chicken Wrap and side of Veggies with hummus. Was not expecting the large choices on the menu . Will definitely going back. read more

Met friends for breakfast and had a nice experience. You could only order at the counter rather than table service. Which I prefer to be waited on. I ordered the breakfast sandwich on sourdough bread. The bread was grilled rather than toasted. My husband had the Cali wrap with added sausage, and our friend ordered the special croissant breakfast sandwich with ham and egg. Everyone enjoyed their meals. There was plenty of seating and nice atmosphere for catching up with friends. read more

Independant coffee shop close to home. All the food I have had there has been very good. Last visit I got a Cali breakfast wrap and a side of seasoned potatoes. Very good and price point is well within the market price range. The atmosphere is relaxing and eclectic. There is ample private parking, and the coffee menu is extensive. They also have assorted bakery items and offer vegetarian and vegan options. They also seem to host events for the community such as comedy and music events which I believe is all free. Worth a visit! read more

Great place to go for live music, public and private events, sandwiches, smoothies and coffee. Their staff is always welcoming and they take pride in the good food and service. Their soups are outstanding. There's a huge event space in the back and a cute little cafe in the front. read more

My boss recently brought me a chai latte from Ruckus Coffee. I've never heard of the place before she mentioned it, but I'm so glad she did. I'm not a coffee drinker so I was glad to see they offer other drink items besides coffee. The chai latte was delicious. It was very flavorful! I'm looking forward to checking out their actual storefront soon. read more

I have to say Ruckus has really stepped up their game. This coffee shop also serves as a gallery, event space, etc. They have a large menu of coffee, tea, and smoothie drinks, so you are sure to find something for everyone. The service is always good too. They also have a great kitchen/food menu. My only (minor) complaint is that I wish there was more natural light or better lighting in the place. It feels kind of dark and drab, but that didn't stop my husband and I from being able to sit there and plan some stuff on my computer for awhile. We will definitely stop again! read more

I have been going here since it opened. Unique food and atmosphere. Not your typical coffee shop. Everyone who works there is pleasant and the food is made to order. Also have very cool theme nights- open mic, line dancing, board games read more

Just had coffee (Americano) and a coffee cake pastry here. Both were great! First time here didn't know what to expect but I was very impressed with this spot on Babcock. Going to come again to try the food and another Americano. read more

What a great, spacious coffee shop! I ordered a really delicious iced vanilla latte with almond milk and the turkey pesto panini. Love that the panini came with a side included. The panini was amazing, the turkey was really fresh and had ample toppings. However I wouldn't really call it a panini, it was more of a sandwich with lightly toasted bread. Call it what you want, it was still delicious. The reasons I'm knocking a star is because the 10 vegetable soup I had ordered as my side dish was too salty to even eat (and I LOVE salt). Also, the cashier seemed quite unhappy that we came in 15 minutes before close - I totally understand but it was our first time there so we weren't aware of the hours & we were taking our food to go. The shop itself is very large with a lot of seating. They have such a large food menu, I definitely will be back! read more

Get up off your sleepy bum and get here. Now! I live literally 3 minutes from this place and somehow hadn't gone for the years it's been open. But I stopped in before a hair appointment in December and how wonderful is this place?! I got a pistachio cookie latte to go and it was everything I could have wanted. I can't wait to go back and try their drip coffee. Their seating area is big, and they have a big area in the back for events. The day I was there they were doing a meet and greet with Santa and Mrs. Claus! The service, I think, is what will keep me coming back. I'm not sure if I spoke with the owner or manager but she was so kind and explained different items on the menu while I asked a million questions. Happy Eating! Go now! read more

This place is absolutely delicious. Every item they prepared was amazing. As an added bonus the kind woman who took our order ended up being one of the head chefs, Mia! She is an incredibly talented cook and it was awesome that she was the one to bring it to our table. I got the buffalo chicken wrap-so tasty! The chicken was perfectly cooked and the sauce was crazy. My friend got their seasonal turkey panini with a sweet jam. The crust of the bread was perfectly cooked. The ambiance was very comfortable. read more

I have been here many times and have not put in a review yet. Nice hometown coffee shop feel. You can get any type of coffee style that you want. I prefer their cappuccino. They have half and half, milk, almond milk and almost anything that you would want they have. On top of the great coffee they have a really good menu for breakfast, brunch, and sweets. I like getting their Belgium waffle when I come here but my wife has gotten a lot of good veggie breakfast food here which is what we prefer. You can stop in for a coffee or sit in their relaxing chair tables and chill out for a little. They have music on certain days too on their events page but we have not tried it out yet. Anyways if you are looking for some good coffee and you haven't tried this place yet it's a must visit if you are in the area. Oh I forgot but they always have great service here too! Love coming here! read more

Very solid spot for a snack or some coffee and a treat. Solid prices and a nice atmosphere. They have most of the classic coffee shop creations. I tried their hot cocoa, brownie, and chocolate chip cookie. Their desserts seem to be made in house. The brownie varieties vary from day to day, and this time, it was just a chocolate frosted one with sprinkles. The brownie had tons of pieces of chocolate in it, and the frosting was tasty as well. A tad dry, but still good. The chocolate chip cookie was only $1! What an amazing price and deal. It was very tasty as well, also having big chunks of chocolate in it. I'd definitely recommend. The hot cocoa was quite milky and honestly didn't have much flavor. I was hoping for a chocolatey flavor, but it wasn't there. Still, solid, and I'm sure the coffee is probably their specialty and likely better. All in all, I definitely enjoyed this place. Reasonable prices, solid portions, and a nice assortment of in house desserts. I'd return! read more

My husband and I have the coffee passport and this place was on the list. The place was packed when we walked in, so we knew it would be good. And there was a big room in the back where they were setting up for a bridal shower. I ordered a drink from the specials menu, the toffee nut shaken espresso and my husband had a regular espresso. Mine was delicious, and not overly sweet. For breakfast I also ordered a special, I had the ricotta toast with roasted grapes, arugula and balsamic glaze. My husband had the veggie bowl with a fried egg. His was absolutely outstanding. The veggies were cooked perfectly and seasoned nicely too. My toast was just okay. Maybe it was the bread I picked. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't anything special. But we really did enjoy our time here and want to stop back for lunch next time. read more

Ruckus is the perfect little hidden spot to grab some brunch or meet with a friend. The turkey pesto panini is usually my go to! The coffee drinks are okay. I usually drink iced coffee and sometimes it can be a little bitter. The iced tea is always great! The staff is always accommodating and helpful. We have young kids, I would love to attend one of their family brunches this year! read more

This is a lovely cafe with a kind and attentive staff and warm feel. All the menu items I've tried have been delicious. They have a number of interesting events that they host, though I haven't yet attended. Great vibes overall. read more

What a welcoming and comfy cafe! This place reminds me of the friendly coffee place in my small hometown. The baristas don't know EVERYONE by name because there are so many regulars, but they always serve you with a smile. This place is very similar. Incredibly friendly staff. I immediately felt welcome. Plenty of seating areas inside, as well as some outside. They have live music on Sundays - so pull up a chair!! I haven't gotten to try their coffee yet, but I did try their blended tea. Flavorful and served with fresh fruit. And the straw is recycled plastic (a big bonus point for me). I HAD to try one of the baked goods in the display case. The brownies were calling my name as if to say PICK ME!! Brownies are my favorite sweet treat, so believe me when I say I try them more frequently than I should. This brownie was perfect on every level. Thick, rich, and gooey. The top had a crumbly crust and I could taste the bits of salt that helped balance the sweetness. Just perfect! I seriously can't wait to try more from this wonderful cafe. They have a decently sized menu and have breakfast, lunch/dinner offerings. Soups, salad, wraps, and even waffles! I love that they have some healthier options like oatmeal. You can even add in extras like fruit and nuts to customize it to your liking. The menu changes, so be on the lookout for new things to try. The owner was in the lounge area working and I got to speak with him briefly. I can tell this place really cares about community and bringing people together over delicious food and drinks. They are doing awesome things here supporting local artists and musicians. (Get in there to get your art on the walls!!!) He was even telling me about a murder mystery dinner coming up! This spot is just so cool and I can't wait to include more reviews about their food. I just know it's going to be great! What a warm and welcoming community spot to hangout at and grab a bite to eat. Thanks for having me Ruckus! See you soon! read more

I was finally able to encourage my husband to stop here with me today for breakfast. He does not drink coffee but they do have soft drinks which saved the day. My husband is a picky eater and wasn't happy that they didn't have sausage on the menu but he eats bacon just the same. We were waited on by the owner Chris who now knows me and given a table number as we waited for our food. My husband quickly noticed the artwork on the wall, with price tags as he's an artist in his free time as well, and was curious if patrons actually purchased these. Also when the line was taken care of, I noticed the owner Chris helping her staff, clearing off and cleaning tables. That's how you know an establishment is run well. I ordered the cali breakfast wrap and my husband got the egg, bacon and cheese breakfast panini. He also got a bottle of Diet Coke and I had the complimentary lemon water. He said the sandwich was delicious 9/10; only because he would have preferred sausage. My wrap was a 10/10. My husband said he wouldn't be opposed to returning at a later date to try more on the menu. read more

I stopped by here earlier today with my wife for our morning coffee. We were looking for a coffee place nearby that we hadn't yet tried whenever Ruckus Coffee showed up on our Yelp search. Since it was close by, we headed on over and were surprised by how full the parking lot was. It's located right on Babcock Boulevard and the inside of this shop ended up being quite large. There were a number of 2 and 4 tops inside and it had lights up, likely for Christmas, but maybe all the time too. Beyond that they also have a coffee bar area where you can place your order and they have food in addition to coffee. For our coffees on this morning I went with a large eggnog latte and then ordered a small joy latte for my wife. The joy latte was described as mocha, coconut and almond while the eggnog latte was described as eggnog and nutmeg. It took a little less than 5 minutes for the drinks to be ready and in that time the place got even busier! After I got back to my car I was able to try my latte and it was delicious. It was warm and really had that eggnog flavor to it. The nutmeg on top was a nice little touch too giving it some more flair and I only wish that I could taste the coffee a bit more. That's not to say I didn't like it as I did very much and I also understand that eggnog is a strong flavor and so the coffee was always going to be overshadowed somewhat. My wife also enjoyed her drink and thought it was flavorful without being too sweet. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Both my wife and I really enjoyed our lattes here and I would look to get some food next time as well as a latte without such a strong flavor so that I can taste the coffee some more. read more

I finally stopped in for breakfast, and it was a pleasant surprise! The decor gave off a fun vibe, and the staff was friendly. The menu was small, but had creative options. The portions were a good size. Also on the menu are a variety of coffee drinks and smoothies (which were a little pricy, in my opinion). They also offer a lunch and dinner menu that I would stop back to try. In addition, they offer catering, have a private dining room, and feature local artists. read more

This was the first time I walked in to this cute little cafe. My daughter recommended it.

I also bought a package of shortbread cookies, also yum! I definitely will be back. read more

This place is a small cafe in Millvale. They seem to do a lot of things for the community and it's a cute little cafe. I typically get the chicken avocado wrap with hummus and veg. It is good but as most things it is over priced for what you get. Everything is clean and staff is attentive and nice. Its a nice little lunch spot. read more

Good food! Coffee delicious. Mom and pop cafe with some fun activities for the locals

Went here for breakfast this morning! The place was so crowded but the staff were super friendly and helpful. I ordered online and definitely recommend as it was busy inside and my order was ready to go. The breakfast sandwich was one of the best I have had in the area and can't wait to go back and try more. The coffee was really good as well! I feel this was reasonably priced too for how big the portion size was for the breakfast sandwich. read more

Ruckus Cafe - Iced Caramel Macchiato - Cafes Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Just had our family Christmas party there on the 30th. Everything was set up and ready for us. Didn't have to wait. We have some big eaters in our family and they were well satisfied. We opted for the pasta bars and salad bar. We were permitted to bring in bottles of wine which were kept at the bar. They supplied non-alcholic drinks. We brought the dessert which they cut and served. There was ample room for our family to enjoy games for the kids as well as the grown-ups, room for gift exchange and group pictures. We had a great time. The staff was wonderful and attentive without being intrusive. I would definitely recommend Ruckus to anyone planning an event. read more

We went here for the first time today and were very disappointed. There was only one girl working the counter, and her focus seemed to be on rushing us through our order, despite no one else in line and us pointing out it was our first time there. No paper menu, instead just a jumbled list of food and drink items on an overhead screen in varying fonts and sizes. They were out of chai tea, which didn't help, just not a friendly cashier unfortunately, just in a rush. We ordered food and paid, the credit card device was also clunky and then did the 'forced tip' thing, which I initially didn't see, (it had me remove my card first), so that was awkward as the girl pointed it out, and I added a tip for service I hadn't received yet. Anyhow, next we waited 10 minutes for a lemonade, which came in a glass with a giant sticker, then another five minutes and the coffee was done, with yet another large sticker that we had to peel off, and we had to go back to the counter after she yelled out to us. Eventually the food showed up. Some burnt bacon and a wrap with no avocado. The waffle was fine as were the drinks, but overall the experience felt expensive and unfriendly. Additionally, we weren't sure if we were supposed to clean our own table, and the counter girl wouldn't look in our direction as we tried to ask, so we finally just left. It's a nice place, but the poor service, less than average food, and high prices mean we're not going back soon. read more

Really tasty coffee and a great selection of food. I got the mediterranean wrap and it was delicious. Friendly staff & a warm ambience.

I've driven past this place dozens of times. Finally stopped for a laid back Sunday breakfast and coffee and it was INCREDIBLE! The waffle breakfast sandwich is a thing of beauty with freshly made sweet waffles, which was so good with the eggs, bacon, and cheese. Service was super friendly and the decor is adorable. read more

Ruckus recently hosted a "celebration of life" for my mother and they did an amazing job.

The absolute best. read more

I've had the coffee here several times, but ordered lunch here for the first time today. Had a waffle sandwich, which I highly recommend and would order again. It's a tad difficult to pick up, so I ate it open face style. The waffle by itself is very good, with a slight sweetness to it. Eggs and cherry jam were excellent. Will go back and look forward to trying additional lunch and breakfast items. Shop local! read more
