Almond Croissant
Cameron

Nice cafe with some really interesting special drinks and flavors! Also really enjoy that they get their pastries and sandwiches from other local businesses. The almond croissant was lovely and the bagels (from NY) were one of the better ones in the city! Service was also great and fast, especially dealing with a long line. The best thing was the Confluence, a mix of cold brew and chai that was really delicious, everywhere should have it! The only thing is that it was $6 for a 12oz, which was pretty steep. All their specialty stuff is a little expensive across the board. The seating is also a little tough, with it being a smaller space with narrow tables, and not a lot of chairs, so just be ready to grab and go!

I love standing wave!!! I have been a frequent flyer at their coffee truck in Oakland since they started and I was thrilled to hear about their permanent location in Southside. Honestly my favorite cup of coffee in Pittsburgh! Not to mention they are sooo nice and friendly. Great service Today we got the Sarah sandwich and two oat milk lattes with smores. The sammie was great especially for the price. The breadworks bread was incredible. They do all their own roasting and their beans are excellent. So excited for them and it's such a nice space.

This is a great addition to the South Side! I am always looking for locally owned/operated coffee shops. The coffee and breakfast sandwiches are delicious and the space is great. They have both soft seating and table/chair options.

Such a cute little shop with a very coastal feel. Comfy chairs and tables. The coffee is so smooth and they have some very unique, Pittsburgh-themed drinks. Definitely will go back.

such a cute place! it's very indie inside and they have lots of local and niche treats available. I ordered the cookie butter latte which was fantastic. Their coffee isn't too sweet. They have plenty of syrup flavors and milk alts! The barista was welcoming and helpful. I didn't try the food this time but they do sell breakie sandwiches.

This shop used to be a coffee truck that now has its own building in the South Side! The coffee truck still operates as well around the city. Great space to work remotely or pop in and grab coffee before work! Lots of seating options. They have a lot of unique drink options on the menu.

I stopped by here a couple of Sundays ago now with my wife and twins for our morning coffee. Every…read moreSunday we try to hit up a new local coffee shop and on this Sunday we decided to go to the Redhawk Coffee location on Fifth Avenue. We had been to other Redhawk Coffees but not to this specific location. The inside of this shop was actually fairly large with an area with food on the one side including their baked goods under cloches and then a bunch of seating on the other side. In addition to the baked goods they have other things and it's worth mentioning they had a fun array of salty snacks like Chinese Lays (Hot Pot flavors) and also some salmon chips. For my coffee on this morning I decided to go with a honey cinnamon latte while my wife went with an iced vanilla latte. We also added a croissant to the order which our whole family each had a little bit of. My coffee here ended up being quite good as I enjoyed the deep and rich flavor of it. That paired nicely with the milk and you could also easily taste the cinnamon and the honey which was nice. What wasn't as nice was the 7.35 price tag for the 16 oz latte which is definitely on the higher side for the Pittsburgh market. Our croissant here was also good as it was crispy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside. It also had a great buttery flavor which our whole family enjoyed. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Yes it was a bit on the pricier side but we all enjoyed what we had.

I was introduced to this spot on a coffee crawl recently and liked it so much that I've been back…read moretwice over a month. It's located very near PNC Park and the new Plaza at North Shore, a nice little lunchtime walk for me from downtown if I have some time available and want to get some fresh air that day. I have stuck with the seasonal specials so far, which include lattes and matchas. They are doing housemade syrups and interesting flavors like maple which you might expect, but with smoked sea salt, which you would not. Everything tastes high-quality and thoughtful. I read a review saying they have the best cappuccino in the area so that is on my list to try soon. Backing up the quality and thoughtfulness, they have a bakery case featuring other local businesses like Mediterra. I like when local small businesses support one another. My servers have always been knowledgeable and kind. Prices are about on par with other local shops, and the interior is bright, clean, a little small, but there is space for a couple people to enjoy their drinks here. This is a great spot for your morning coffee or a quick afternoon lift.

Conveniently located down on the North Shore for all of the businesses and any events happening…read morenear the stadiums. Walking in the North Shore, I saw their advertisement for the Fall Drink Menu and decided to soothe the itch for Pumpkin Spice... basic, but tasty! The store is very posh with modern decor and a few tables to sit and sip. The barista was very attentive and immediately started working on my order. I grabbed the: Hot Pumpkin Spice Latte with Oat Milk - the coffee was very mid. Lacking boldness and the flavorings were very muted. It wasn't awful, but it definitely isn't a coffee shop that makes my list Mars Panini - sourced from Mediterranean Cafe, this prepared panini combined thin sliced ham, apples, brie cheese, and honey. Love that they advertise the 8 minute heating time.. setting expectations is convenient. The flavor combo was amazing - I could only wish that they had more in this sandwich.

The iced cold brew was delicious, and exactly what I wanted on a hot day (though probably more caffeine than I needed). I really appreciated that they had some vegetarian arepas on the menu, so I got a combo with the breakfast arepa and vegetable arepa. The combo comes with plantain chips, which were delicious. The oil and cilantro sauce (aji pique?) was fine but unnecessary. I should have probably tried the green chimi sauce. Packaging was easy, served in an open compostable box but easy to close up for transport as required. It's obviously a food truck and not a dine-in experience, but there is a small amount of seating if you need it. Overall, this is highly recommended. Good arepas. Good coffee. Good experience.

Great quick service and the team was friendly. I enjoying trying something new in an arepa. As a…read moreplain eater, I ate all of my creole arepa but next time would get the chorizo arepa that I liked more of someone else's, or the breakfast one. The plantains are sweet, which I don't think I personally like as much in the arepa on their own. The smoothie was good and felt healthy, not too sweet, which was good and was a decent size. The mokoa had great reviews from someone I was with, they said it was the top 3 they've ever had, so I will be back to try coffee drinks. Prices were on the average side of expensive for drinks (around $7) and the food was around good price ($7-8 per arepa). It is at a convenient location for me and they make the parking lot cute with a few tables (since they are a food truck).
