It's the perfect cozy, no-nonsense neighborhood joint to grab a quick drink while you're hanging out in Shadyside.

If you're walking down Walnut Street, it's definitely worth stopping in.

However, the service left something to be desired - I had to wait about 5 minutes for someone to come to the counter, and then the ordering process was kind of awkward - the employee barely spoke to me. The space is dirty and dingy, and there was a dog inside of the cafe. I understand folks love to bring their dogs along to places, but as someone who is severely allergic, it made me uncomfortable to see a dog in a place preparing my food.

Kat's Coffee House is a local, family-owned cat-themed coffee shop. It serves beverages (e.g.,…read morecoffees, espressos, mochas, lattes, teas, hot chocolates, and smoothies) and foods (e.g., bagels, wraps, sandwiches, cookies, muffins, scones, and Penn State ice cream). I was a customer here one time. I loved the cat-themed wall art, serving plate, sponges, and stickers. An employee politely took my order and payment and then handed over my foods and drink. Many indoor tables and chairs were available. Here are my ratings for what I ate: Chai Latte - 5 stars Cat Sugar Cookie - 4.5 stars Chocolate-chip Cookie - 4.5 stars Penn State Peanut-butter Swirl Ice Cream - 5 stars (My husband and I were undergrads at PSU, and I really liked the flavor of this ice cream.) The total price was $21 plus tax and a tip.

The coffee was great, and the baristas had a ton of fun flavors and specials too. The chocolate chip cookie was okay, not a must get, but I did love that they offered to warm it up. Overall lovely cafe that's open later and a nice spot to grab a drink and hang out

Really lovely cafe with great drinks and a nice vibe!…read more All their drinks are so fun, but their seasonal lattes are always creative and delicious, especially loved the baklava latte that had great pistachio flavor and a beautiful blue cold foam too. They also have pastries and other food options from local spots that are solid, and I really like the seating area. It's small but really cozy, service was also fast. My only complaint is the pricing ($8+), but the quality is really good so I'll definitely will be back to try more of their special!

I wish they listed the descriptions of what the flavors are for the signature drinks though so I don't have to bother the staff on what each thing actually is while it's busy. The pastries here all looked great with different flavors, I liked the Pecan Cherry scone a lot, with actual cherries mixed in! It is vegan and gf, which means the texture is definitely very different from traditional pastries, but one of the best vegan ones I've ever had. Excited to come back and try more!

I stopped by here two Sundays ago with my wife and our twins for our morning coffee. Every Sunday…read moremorning we try to hit up a new local coffee shop and on this morning we decided to go to Needle & Bean. Needle & Bean is located on Castle Shannon Blvd and has a clever name whenever you realize it's part record shop and part coffee shop. There was only a single other patron there whenever we arrived and he was on the way out, so we had the shop to ourselves for a bit. The shop itself is segmented into a seating area for the coffee shop patrons and the other half for the records. The inside of the shop is well lit with lots of natural light and helped by the light colored wood floors. Since I was just here for the coffee, I didn't really check out the record section of the shop and instead paid attention to the coffee and goodies. For my coffee on this morning I decided to go with a large hot americano while my wife went with a small iced americano. Then I also ordered my kids a chocolate chip cookie each and the family a brownie. Total cost was $12 which was awesome. My wife and I both really enjoyed our coffees here as the roast for the americano was super dark and rich. Since we both love darker coffees, we clearly made the right choice and it was easily one of the better coffees I have had in awhile. My kids seemed to enjoy the cookies and the brownie and so everyone was happy. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. My wife and I really enjoyed our coffees here, our kids their treats and the price was fair as well!

Coffee so fresh that you can watch the beans being roasted!!!…read more I didn't take the name "coffee lab" seriously enough and didn't expect how cool this place is! Located in a rustic building on an industrial looking road, the vibe hits you as soon as you drive by! The mix of brick, steel, and light wood is phenomenal... plus the smell of freshly roasted coffee beans greets you with a smile!! The menu is limited in size but limitless in creativity. I love that they already show Oat Milk as an option for everything as it is becoming the most popular... to be honest. The homemade syrups are delicious. I tried the Maple Sage and you could taste both flavors so well. The food menu is also small, but that's because the true focus is the coffee. Still the food is meticulously crafted - I tried the Waffles and the fresh berries were so beautifully strewn across and the batter of the waffles was fluffy and perfectly sweetened. We were able to grab a table to watch the coffee lab roasting and loved the ornate touch of the keystone inlay as well. The service is impeccable. Yes, the coffee may take a few minutes... but the detailed craftsmanship is worth it. You can watch the baristas create each drink and the passion that they have! If you love coffee, this is a Pittsburgh must do!!
