First time here (visiting from out of town) and found this for my morning fix of Starbucks. Service is very good and the baristas seem friendly. Nice seating are just past the counter where you order so can get some work done or just relax. Will be back later today for oatmeal and a refill! read more

This is the worst location ever, I pee'd on myself because the worker said I couldn't use the bathroom b/c I wasn't buy anything. I haven't drink starbucks since I became pregnant and I'm currently 5 months and can't hold my bladder and also now I have to travel back to the other side of town on public transportation to change my clothes. read more

Got here about 6 min before opening. They open right at 6am. Fast efficient. Loved the location! They obviously have their regulars.

Visited this location for the first time this week and went twice while doing different activities downtown. Tried a Java mint Frappuccino, then a frozen mango dragon fruit lemonade. My drinks were fine, but me friend ordered a passion fruit lemonade that just seemed to be straight lemonade without any fruit chunks in it. The line as also a bit slow the one day and some of the employees seemed to be standing around and joking behind the counter. The girl who made my drink though did apologize for the wait, sometimes it's just one of those days or perhaps she was recently trained. Overall it was an average experience and the store was decently clean. I was able to leave a couple of my art business cards on the board, love when places have those available to advertise local things. The view is also nice with big glass windows overlooking beautiful Heinz Hall. read more

Been here on several occasions as I have a parking permit in the garage right above Starbucks. Baristas are always friendly and service is typically pretty quick. There have been some times when I've gone and the line is out the door, but for the most part it's quick service in and out. read more

I was in the area and needed a latte really bad. I was near the Starbucks so I stopped in quickly. There was no line and the Baristas were very friendly and gave great service. I ordered a venti latte with an extra shot. The drink was made perfectly. The store is descent size and has a descent amount of seating. I was in and out in less than 5 minutes. If not crowded I would definitely go to this location again if in the area. read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

There's not enough words to describe how much I love this starbucks. It's more than just a coffee shop, it's a place to go where you feel seen, and heard, and cared for by the baristas and staff. Unfortunately, this location is often understaffed but that is not the fault of the baristas and they work hard to get the drinks out as quickly as possible. Additionally, I've witnessed several accounts of customers getting entitled and out of hand, however the staff at 6th street handles each incident with grace and tact. Can't say enough good things about the employees here!! I've glad to have made 6th street my go to! read more

I like this location. The baristas are very personable and they take time to really get to know their regulars. I only come every so often but it's a pleasant stop every time. read more

I really love Starbucks. Such a great calming environment. The drinks are just delightful and such a great cool off to a hot summer day

I've been to countless Starbucks sites - even some of the Reserves, and I can say confidently that the 6th Avenue Starbucks in Downtown Pittsburgh is my favorite. The location is great and the drinks and the baked goods are above average in quality from what I've experienced with other Starbucks. What really makes this one special, however, is the staff / baristas. Everyone who I've interacted with is so pleasant and provide a customer-first experience. The only issue I see is when there are shows at Heinz Hall. I don't try to go to Starbucks at that time because the lines get crazy... and it's all being managed by 1 - 3 employees! Could definitely use more folks on the ground during busy hours. read more

I had some time to kill before the doors opened for Something Rotten. Was in the mood for some coffee so I stopped here briefly. All Starbucks are virtually the same. I noticed that you can preorder through an app on your phone. In addition to their expressos, lattes, teas, coffee and iced drinks they have grab and go food and various pastries for sale. I asked for the Verona blend which I knew was the Valentine blend but they were closing so I ended up with Pike's peak. They do have the Verona blend for sale. This Starbucks has a very small seating area. Fortunately since the place was closing soon there really wasn't a line so I got my coffee and sat and relaxed. I normally get the small size which is just enough for me. It tastes like regular coffee and it warmed me up on a chilly night. This Starbucks is around the corner from the Benedum Center. They close at 6:30 so it is not a place to hang out before an evening performance. Still it met my needs and was quite pleased with my visit. read more

I love these union shops where 4 or 5 employees run around and ignore the line of customers waiting to order an over priced coffee. Maybe if they didn't wait so long to see if they are getting a tip on top of inflated wages there might not be a line. read more

We frequent this Starbucks location out of convenience, but I often question that convenience when you're standing in the long line waiting (that's to be expected in such a location during the workweek, or anytime really, in the Cultural District). The drinks comes up relatively fast, though, and the staff is really nice, so the line isn't as bad as it could be. It's not the nicest or cleanest location, but if you're walking by and want your Starbucks fix, it'll definitely suffice. read more

The management and staff at this location are always super friendly and professional and just plain nice I've even be able to carry my puppy in there and they always give us a little puppuccino which Delights me the puppy and all the other customers this will be my go to Starbucks when I'm downtown read more

I travel, alot, so I visit many Starbucks' locations around the Americas. I would place this location at or near the top of my experiences for product quality and STAFF consideration of their customer's desires. I ordered a "pour over" of a specific roast during the stores peak time, when I asked about the flavor, I was told they could not locate their pour over pot and had instead used a different process (a clover brewer) to make my cup. When I described the flavor as considerably different than my daily experience, the manager went out her way to replace my cup with a drink of my choice. Great Job PIT team! read more

I don't do coffee but they have good smoothies and coffee cake! My wife got me hooked on their "Cranberry Bliss" bars that they only have during Christmas time. Their pound cakes are yummy as well. Insider Tip: Get here early (before 7am) to avoid the line that goes out the door year around. read more

Worst Starbucks I've ever been to. Waited 15 mins for food and it still wasn't out. Coffee was getting cold so I just left. The person in front of me didn't get her food either. They were all the coffee orders and allow the food items to back up until the line is zero. Bad system. read more

Had a good experience here. The staff was friendly and happy to help me understand all of the different styles of coffees. I am usually a straight up no cream or sugar guy. I got a cold brew with vanilla and sweet cream. It was very good. Not sure I will switch my daily routine but it is a nice treat every once in a while. Wifi, a/c and coffee. It's hard to go wrong. read more

Terrible store...especially before ANY concerts at Heinz Hall. Not enough staff working! People are lined up out the door and they have only one barista working. Absolutely subpar for such an exclusive and easily access location. Poor management. read more

It's a tiny little corner cafe in a good location in downtown Pittsburgh. Excellent service, great people-watching spot, free wifi and decent music. read more

This location is pretty good. The service is usually good, and they move at a relatively quick pace. Still the same mediocre Starbucks coffee, so I usually opt for a latte (with vanilla soy to mask the coffee), or one of the new Teavana teas such as the Kona Pop (pineapple), Youthberry (blueberry), or the Peach Tranquility. All in all, this location is better than some, and I definitely stop by when I am in the area and need a little pick-me-up. read more

Starbucks. ahhhh how do I begin to explain our journey. I am not very wealthy and that's because of how much Starbucks I order. And if your asking yes, I am a white female who i below the age of 20. But oooh their pumpkin Spice Latte is so friggin' yummy. And their holiday drinks are to die for. One time an employee spilled a drink and another employee screamed at them and I think it really nice that each employee can understand one another and are able to scream at one another like that. read more

What can I say? It is like getting the same cup of caramel familiarness in any other city. When I am away from home, I always stop by a Starbucks. Furthermore, ever notice that Starbucks is always in a good neighborhood!? :) This location actually has lots of cute boutiques and specialty stores all along this street. I assume this was due to its proximity to the local universities. Stop in for your favorite tasty beverage with the friendly staff. read more

I stopped here before a show at the Benedum on Sunday and was glad I got here early. I had wanted to get a more adult beverage but we decided on legal stimulants here instead. Within minutes, there were barely any seats left between those who were here before we arrived and fellow Alton-goers (I assume) who came in after. It's what you expect at a Starbucks. We got their regular Pike Place roast. The service was what you'd expect as well; nothing groundbreaking or special. The counter could have been a little cleaner, but the seating area was free of debris, so I guess that's what really matters. Also, the lights on the menu boards were hitting in that particular way that washes out the text and makes it hard to read. Good thing you have a pretty good idea of what you want when you walk into a Starbucks! Service was efficient, environment was nice, there weren't any weird things happening in any corners. So, win? Win. read more

Quick service and friendly staff. They have a vast majority of flavors to choose from. Gets busy very fast during peak hours.

For it being a little smaller than most Starbucks, they are fast and extremely friendly. This location is perfect for running and grabbing a quick drink on your break. read more

Starbucks - A well organized Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Fast and friendly service! Drinks are delicious and the baristas are always friendly. Great way to start my day!

Pretty terrible for a Starbucks. Bathrooms usually kind of nasty (almost like a gas station), no toilet paper. Your order is often forgotten (though to be fair the staff tries to make it up to you). Generally less clean than Starbucks generally keeps their stores read more

I happen to love this Starbucks. I've worked downtown for 2 years now, and this is definitely my favorite location to visit. First of all, it's super convenient (for me anyway), I pass it everyday on my way to and from work. It's smaller inside than a lot of other Starbucks', but I'll gladly cram into this store to avoid going to the others. The staff here is always incredibly friendly and helpful. The store is clean and doesn't smell (like some other nearby locations...). read more

It's a Starbucks, you know what you are getting here as far as menu and beverages, why bother digging too deep on that. I like this one because it's got a good location, additionally there is a good amount of seating, and comfortable. A great place to steal a few minutes from your day and sit back and relax and enjoy some coffee. read more

One of my favorite Starbucks by far. The baristas are super nice, and personable and if the coffee basically is the same in every Starbucks then it's the attitude of the barista that makes the difference. read more

This is one of the worst Starbucks you can go to. Don't bother using your ap to order ahead....it took 20 minutes from the time I placed the order until it was ready. This has become an everyday occurrence. read more

Not a fan! Slowest service in a Starbucks I have ever experienced! Seems to be a trend in the Market Square/Downtown area.

I know what you are thinking, 4 stars, really?, it's Starbucks.. I know, but it's walking distance to my downtown business destination and has the most efficient morning coffee line I have ever experienced anywhere! It not only moves super fast, but the staff are asking you what you want far before you even reach the pastry fridge. And.. by the time you get up to the register, they still remember what you got! None of that, "uhh umm".. stuff while trying to recall and then reiterate the Starbucks format and language again under cloudy eyes and "morning brain" that does not turn on prior to java.. As if it wasn't hard enough the first time around... ;) read more

Looks nice after it's recent remodel but it's just an average Starbucks. There is better service with better organization at either the Wood St one or the K & L Gates building one. read more

I really like this location. Although it's not as the big as some of the other Starbucks, the staff is very efficient and super friendly. Probably one of the fastest times I've got an order back from a Starbucks. Really like their sitting area as well. Super comfy, definite modern feel, very practical layout. Definite 4 stars. read more

The people are so friendly here, especially in the morning. Everyone is so friendly and nice. There is only one person who I've ever had an issue with. Anyways, I ordered a grande coffee with a little peppermint syrup. I understand that they are trained to give the customer exactly what they want, but I normally just order it and am out the door. This guy is obnoxious...he proceeds to ask me how many pumps of syrup I want and it's like a ridiculous 2 minute conversation. I say, "I don't really care, it's whatever is easiest for you." Meanwhile there are like 10 people behind me and it's starting to look like a scene. I am a really laid-back customer, it was embarrassing! Like how am I supposed to know how many of whatever they put in? I don't stand in line and count. He says "Well it does matter. It matters how sweet you want it" and goes on in this schpill about how he can make it. Like, it's 7 o'clock in the morning. I don't care. Just give me the damn coffee and let me go. No one else is ever obnoxious, just him. read more

Fast and friendly on a chilly night. I just got the thanksgiving blend but it tasted so good.

The workers here are so friendly. The one guy gave me advice to try something new and said if I didn't like it he would make me something else! Now that's awesome service. I like doing my homework here. read more

This location has nice options for seating, which I appreciate. However, it should not, on a quiet afternoon, take over 15 minutes to get three iced tea lemonades; one member of our party had finished her drink before the 3rd even appeared on the bar . read more
