I stopped by here this past Friday with my wife and our twins for our morning coffee. Every Sunday morning we try to hit up a new local coffee shop but since we were off for the holidays, we ended up going on a Friday. On this morning we decided to go to The Coffee Tree Roasters in Fox Chapel. Whenever we arrived this shop was hopping and it continued to be so even after we had left. The inside of this shop consisted of a number of tables to sit at as well as a cooler with drinks and then a place to order. There was also a small merchandise area near the front and since it was Christmas time, the front counter was decorated with gift baskets for the holidays. For my coffee on this morning I went with a gingerbread latte while my wife went with a white chocolate peppermint bark latte. My coffee here ended up being good as there was a strong gingerbread flavor without being overly sweet as well as a nice coffee flavor in the background. It probably could have been a bit more pronounced but I could certainly taste it and the drink itself was tasty. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. I used to love going to the coffee tree roasters and this visit did not disappoint. read more

The Coffee Tree Roasters - Gingerbread latte and peppermint bark latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Their whole bean prices have gone up dramatically in the past 60 days, especially decaf. The bags don't provide roasting dates anymore. Actually the espresso bag doesn't even have a weight on it. Makes a decent cup, but looking elsewhere for value for money. read more

I have been a big of the Coffee Tree Roasters for years! While visiting Pittsburgh for Thanksgiving, we stopped in the Fox Chapel location for lattes on a cold snowy day. They have a nice new sign outside and beautiful Christmas decorations. We were greeted right away. I asked what type of seasonal flavors they had, and I stopped the barista as soon as she said gingerbread! I had a small oatmilk latte with gingerbread (half sweet), and my dad had a cappuccino. The drinks were made quickly, and the service was friendly. I used to go to this location all the time while running errands in the waterworks. It is much smaller and quieter than the busy Shadyside location. Great and consistent coffee! I loved my seasonal latte. read more

Friendly and quick service and great coffee. I had the Americano. Definitely on my list of to stop again

Generous to the community, plus great coffee. This is an excellent location, and the store is relaxing with plenty of support for laptops. It's a local chain with a wonderful product, so I enjoy supporting it when I can. Excellent and friendly service. read more

I haven't been here in awhile but it was always worth a pop in before a waterworks shopping trip. I love how it smells and I hope they have those little straw biscuits in different flavors. Those were always a treat. read more

This is one of my favorite local coffee chains. My shop that I visit is in Fox Chapel. They have so many flavors year round and are always making something new to feature both coffee based and something for non-caffeine drinkers. They sell local goodies from small businesses like cookies from cafe illumina and Chocolate bars from fat cats chocolate. My favorite drink to order is an iced lavender oatmilk latte. You can purchase beans from them if you want to make some at home. I love that they roast their own beans at a local plant! There are a few tables for sitting and drinking on site in a casual environment with pictures and holiday decorations. The owner and all of the baristas are so friendly!!! read more

Cheery greetings and fabulous coffee! I'm going to rave here because this is simply The Best Cappuccino I've ever had! In town for a family event, we stopped in on Sunday am ahead of breakfast at Alta Via. What a trip highlight! My husband's espresso was sublime. Thank you ! read more

This used to be a great place to get coffee, but can't get its act together as of late. Left this morning without making a purchase--two people in line, a missed online order and two people working who couldn't get it together. The coffee is great. Management is poor. read more

When I walked in here I really thought I had been in this style coffee house before. I was right. Coffee tree roasters is a chain throughout the Pittsburgh area. Most of the menu consists of lattes, mochas, and some tea. They let me sample today's coffee selections. I ended up with Costa Rico which was a decaffeinated blend. All along the back wall they sell chemex, various coffee equipment etc. They also have a wall devoted entirely to teas along with tea pots. Premium and pricey roasts are in the far corner. They have a small selection of baked goods which they told me comes from various bakeries. They had samples of pumpkin biscotti which I tasted. It was to die for! They have a small seating area and of course WiFi. I was having some difficulty connecting to it as I was being thrown off due to other networks. I eventually managed to get into theirs. They coffee is okay. Nothing to write home about but a good alternative if you want to avoid the more popular chains. It sits around the corner in the Fox Chapel strip mall. read more

I know my coffee and Coffee Tree Roasters gets a 2 snaps and hands held high. I can't believe it took me so long to sample and fall in love with their coffee. I love Starbucks for their tea but Coffee Tree has a wide variety of freshly roasted beans and I've never had a bad cup here. Quite frankly, each new flavor of the day I try tends to get better and better. Some of my faves have been the Papua New Guinea, Sumatra and Vienna Roast. These are the medium roast varieties which serve my purpose of waking up well. I love how you can take in these flavors and easily differentiate the the variance in balance and strength. The coffee is never bitter and tastes fresh regardless of when I visit. I also love the fact that they have the little stickers that cover the coffee lid hole---so cute and fun. It must be said that this place prides itself on freshly roasted beans. If you want to brew your own at home, they have a huge menu for you to select from. There also are teas, coffees, chocolates and a gift section near the check out area. It's a very cozy space and would be nice to catch up with a friend or two. Keep in mind that the seating is limited here so you may need to wait for a table if you plan on enjoying their goodies in house. Be forewarned that their baked treats are to die for and they tempt you with samples on the counter. If you try a sample be prepared to have thoughts of sugarplums dancing in your head throughout the day along with wondering why you just didn't buy a whole piece of whatever you tasted. The service here is fast, efficient and friendly. Heck, I've been in a line back to the door with 1 worker at the counter who managed to serve everyone quickly. read more

I stop here usually twice a weekend. The crew that works here is always so friendly. I love their coffee. It's not as bitter as Starbucks. read more

I'm not a big fan. They've won me over. They've got a great menu of all kinds of tasty mixed espresso based drinks in addition to the basics. More than a neat little corner shop, they have great coffee. This may come from the fact that they roast all their beans in Pittsburgh for their 6 locations. They roast a good bean and it's noticeable. Priced like any other coffee shop, why not stop in here over some Starbucks or McCafe if you're in the Aspinwall area? This might be a new spot for me for buying my own beans for some homebrewing too. Again, can't stress enough the difference starting with a good bean makes. The baristas were very friendly and fun too. They had no problem fielding my barrage of questions about their brand. read more

The Coffee Tree Roasters - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Its just ok. Coffee seems weak for the expensive prices. Its confusing when you go in and you have the nose tippers from the area just looking at you like your intruding on there morning shit talking session and whatever Shenanigans the high elites prudes of the area have to discuss. Its too small no where to seat no enough tables and the coffees are never made consistent One day its made perfect the next and water down and terrible. Sometimes strong sometimes week but would be nice if the mastered the art of a none watery frappe. The customer service of the staff definitely make up for the poor quality and inconsistency of the barista process. This place needs more flavorful brew bases and there best barista to train all the other baristas, so the same quality drink is coming to the counter, each and every time. read more

Amazing coffee and a nice coffee shop atmosphere. They have an amazing fall flavor selection for coffee and plenty of delicious pastry's to chose from! Hidden gem read more

Got cappuccino, which didn't smell like a coffee and taste like water and coffee not the milk! Disgusting worse I ever tried! read more

Jake and the team are amazing. Always so friendly and courteous to their customers. Jake always has my coffee ready to go!!! He is the best! I wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

Wish there was a choice of zero stars! Worst service and dirtiest coffee place around.

Nothing special here. Coffee is decent, but whatever they use for espresso beans lacks bite. Tastes more like a medium roast and does not leave that good aftertaste at the back of my tongue. Combine this with unfriendly service and I'll just go elsewhere. The young ladies in here midday act bothered to take my four dollars. I won't bother them anymore. read more

Great, smooth coffee! Pastries looked absolutely delicious. Cute environment to sit down and relax :)

I have never had a better cup of coffee. I went in with my boyfriend expecting to maybe get a cold drink or some tea, then there on on the menu "ALMOND MOCHA". I was like, eh why not try something new. It was amazing. SO GOOD. I would highly recommend getting your coffee from this place and try the Almond Mocha. It will not disappoint you!! read more

Somewhat disappointed would best be the title for my review. Before I begin, let me say that I have been to other Coffee Tree Roasters. I also am an avid coffee drinker and therefore have a fair amount of knowledge that can be used to compare this place with others. I visited awhile back. Upon arriving I immediately didn't feel welcome. There were four baristas there and I had to wait over a minute before one of them even greeted me. After ordering I decided upon a mocha. It tasted like hot chocolate. Where was the coffee flavor? All the while I noticed the four baristas standing in a corner laughing with one another while giving off an "exclusive high school club" vibe. Geez! AND....when I left (mind you there was only one other customer in the lobby) I took up my dishware, as well as some others on a nearby table and the dude working just gave me a look and didn't even say thank you! Things like that really bother me. Let me tell you, as somebody who has worked in retail and food it can be a PAIN to be friendly towards customers, but it's just something that should be done in that business. Bottom line: Not terrible, but very underwhelmed by the coffee and service. I highly recommend the Caribou Coffee right across the street. The baristas have always been pleasant and the drinks quite good! I have had far better experiences at the Coffee Tree Roasters in Shadyside and Squirrel Hill which tells me that this one certainly can become better! read more

I've been a loyal customer for this Coffee Tree location for a few years - so it's about time I wrote a review. I love the fact that this small, local chain uses beans roasted right here in Pittsburgh. I like the choices of drinks and snacks. I've never had anything but friendly service. Prices are comparable to just about any other choice of coffee shop in the area. And now, with the LoyalTree app, every few visits, I earn a free mocha latte. Parking is okay - except during the rush hour/before school crowd. I go out of my way to grab coffee at the Fox Chapel Coffee Tree! read more

OK, so I promised I'd be back, and I made good on that promise. Went there this morning to refuel - this time with lattes. I must say our coffee was tasty and since we didn't go for foam, they were about right in terms of the volume. Definitely a great place to stop in for a cup of coffee from now on when I'm making my way to work. Thanks guys! read more

Good prices, better coffee. The food never looks good so I haven't tried it. I sometimes stop here for coffee before work, the baristas are always friendly--even at 6:02 am, right after opening. If you're in the area I recommend it over the Starbuckses (what is the plural of that?!) in Giant Eagle or B&N in the waterworks mall. read more

I love Coffee Tree Roasters coffee. I can proudly call myself a "coffee snob". I come here for plain old black cups of coffee and it is the best! I have been to some of the best coffee shops in NYC and LA and everywhere I go I compare them to Coffee Tree. Their coffee is always freshly roasted and brewed. No need for fancy pour overs or French presses. Their coffee shines on its own. I can't get enough of it! I recently moved from the area but will certainly continue to buy pounds of coffee from them since nothing else compares. read more

I tried the one in Shadyside Pennsylvania and was very pleased.Their price point was better than the coffee shop that has two on every street, and the quality was most excellent! They also did NOT ask me to leave,as I carry a Firearm for personal protection. I highly recommend them ! read more

I stop ay this Coffee Tree most mornings on my way to work. Their coffee is great, service is good and friendly. One morning I got a cinnamon muffin and it was amazing...my co workers didn't know that they had them. My favorite is their salted caramel cold brews....It is SOOOO yummy and refreshing. I love Starbucks vanilla sweet cream, but this one actually edges them out of first place in my book!! Another wonderful Pittsburgh chain!! read more

This place has great coffee. Much better than big name brand coffee places. Always a must stop when I'm in the area.

I must've got a new employee on her first day, because this is the absolute worst vanilla latte I've ever tasted. Honestly, it's just a cup of coffee w/ vanilla syrup pumped into it. Not cool. Train your employees better. read more

This place is dirty and the coffee is horrible. I wrote a review about it before and was removed because the owner complained saying it was personal. I don't know the owner but they must be afraid of the truth. Sorry that the place is dirty and sorry the coffee is bad and sorry you can't take bad reviews. Ok I said I was sorry . Clean up, get better coffee and train you help better. read more

Good coffee - I'll give them that. But beware when using your debit card here. I don't know if it's their software or employee error, but on two separate occasions I was charged twice for the same cup of coffee and pastry here. Both times I went in, and they promptly rectified it - but kind of annoying, no? read more

Good drinks and service. Found a dessicated fly in bottom of my latte once but outside of that I have been satisfied. Just hope they look in the cups more often. read more

Excellent espresso, with quick service. Priced right too. Parking can be a little tricky but worth the stop.

One of the best latte's I've ever had. Damn good I tell you. And they even put a little heart with the cream. What do you know.

Love their coffee. They need to add help in the morning. With all the moms and high school kids ordering double latte whatever's there is a line to the door from 7:45 to 9:00. I'm not going to wait for ten minutes for a cup of plain coffee. Usually buy beans there and make at home. But now when I want to stop in to grab a cup to go, I go elsewherel They should have someone who only takes straight coffe orders. They would get more business. read more

Solid coffee choice. A bit cramped for seating and parking can be a challenge both with safety and space availability. Convenient location and service is consistently good. read more

I love the drinks but this place is filthy! I might be back here and there for a coffee but I won't sit at stay anymore!

This place is really small, so its best to grab and go. They have really good scones, cookies, and beans. A bit pricey.

I have been a frequent visitor to this Coffee Tree and have enjoyed the experience on previous visits. However, I visited on Saturday night and was totally underwhelmed by the attitude of the employees. I realize that the place closes at 11:00 p.m., but, when you arrive at 10:30, there is certainly enough time to greet the customer with more than a surly look and a disgusted attitude. As someone who has worked retail, I know the importance of making a customer feel welcome and valued. I definitely didn't get that vibe from your employees! Realizing that the majority of the cleaning had been done for the night, we cleaned up our trash once we had finished our drinks/snacks. When I asked the employee if the trash could be placed in an nearby open container behind the counter, she quite abruptly directed me to a different location. I was only trying to help her out, which obviously was unappreciated by your rude employee. Customer service training is in order with that employee! read more
