this is very possibly my favorite spot in the entire southwest pa/greater pittsburgh area! their tea selection is ENORMOUS and i've been coming here for years and still never tried one that i didn't like! (i also love being able to grab a few of their little $1 tea sample packets in whatever flavor i didn't get that day to bring home for later) the shop itself is sooooo cute and an absolutely lovely place to spend a morning. the staff & owners are also so so sweet! read more

4.5 stars. The Steeping Leaf is a local tea house, bistro, and gelateria. The tea collection includes over 175 teas from around the world, including black teas, green teas, oolong teas, white teas, Chinese pu'er teas, fruit teas, herbal teas, chai blends, boba teas, single-estate teas, etcetera. Other beverages such as juices and coffees are also available. In addition, customers may make a reservation for afternoon tea, which for adults includes a choice of a pot of tea as well as a three-tier stand of finger sandwiches, scones, and pastries. The foods and price vary for children aged 12 and under. ​ ​The bistro's menu lists foods such as quiche, avocado toast, fruit bowls, oatmeal, yogurt, pastries, flatbreads, wraps, paninis, salads, quesadillas, smoothies, and milkshakes. A freezer contains about a dozen flavors of gelatos. Furthermore, shelves feature merchandise such as bags of teas, teapots, mugs, t-shirts, earrings, etcetera. My husband and I ate one breakfast here. An employee immediately and kindly greeted us. We placed our order at the cash register and then sat at a table of our choosing. Some tables were already reserved for the afternoon tea. I ate Baked French Toast (5 stars), which consisted of a brioche with custard, cinnamon, sugar, strawberry sauce, peaches, blueberries, raspberries, and banana slices. I drank a Masala Chai Tea (4.5 stars). My husband ate the Loaded Breakfast Panini Wrap (3.5 stars), which contained scrambled eggs, potatoes, cheeses, avocado, sour cream, and salsa. The ingredients were separate, which he said looked pretty but tasted just OK. He used his utensil to try to mix the ingredients. He ate only half of it. He drank a Gelato Iced Chocolate (4.5 stars), a chilled hot chocolate with vanilla gelato and whipping cream on top. I also purchased a Dubai chocolate bar (4.5 stars) for about $20. It was not my all-time favorite Dubai chocolate, but it was a large size, and it tasted very good for being made in Pittsburgh. Note that private events such as birthday parties, baby showers, bridal showers, and bachelorette parties may also be held at The Steeping Leaf. Catering is also available. read more

I've been here for a coffee or tea on a few occasions, as well as for lunch once, and it is really an experience. The shop is bright and welcoming and full of warmth. You'll feel relaxed before you even grab that cup to drink. You could spend a long time reading the tea menu. Coffee is a little bit frowned upon here. It's always pretty quiet so it's a good place to go for conversations with a friend. They also have smoothies, which are appealing to children. Check it out when you're in the area. read more

AVOID 35 minutes for a BLT that they forget to toast and forgot the avocado on. Won't be back. AVOID! And when I bring up the issues one of the two girls who were SITTING BEHIND THE COUNTER DOOM SCROLLING said "I'm sorry our regular cook is off and there is one guy alone back there." THEN UHhhhh get off your phones and go help him! read more

I took my mom here for the Afternoon tea as a early Christmas present. We had a wonderful time! The food and tea was exceptional! I was shocked and thrilled at the large amount of delicious gluten free options for the afternoon tea. The service was excellent, the waitress was very knowledgeable. The restaurant was beautifully decorated for Christmas. Can't wait to return! read more

The parking is not good. Super small lots and getting out onto the street leaving was very painful and jarring. It was the final straw for my tire. Thankfully, I'd already ordered tires tho. The food and drinks (teas & smoothies) were delicious and service was friendly. The burritos were assembled strangely. Only one half had bacon, the other avocado, etc. Very large tea menu and surprisingly decent food selection. Laid back atmosphere. read more

Pretty little place. We came here for afternoon tea. The snacks were fantastic! The selection of teas were great. I tried the snail tea but didn't like the texture, kinda true to its name and then I switched to cherished cherry tea. This one's better! Service was great. The management checked on us multiple times. That's very sweet of them. Overall, good experience. read more

While in town, I brought a couple family members here for fun tea experience. We have tried many afternoon teas in different places and were very impressed with the quality and service of this one. The servers were so warm and welcoming. They have such a wonderful tea collection including seasonal blends, and we loved that we could try an unlimited number of teas from their collection! It's very kid-friendly and has a beautiful ambience as well, with plenty of seating and a cozy feel. As for the tea itself, you can tell it was prepared with so much care. The pastries and sandwiches were all so fresh and delicious! They also cater to dietary restrictions. Given the quality and value, I'd definitely return. read more

I loved the food and the ambience! Also wanted to counteract Johnny A's scathing review. :P

I recently dined at The Steeping Leaf and was very pleasantly surprised! From the moment we walked in, the decor caught my eye--clean, fresh, and modern, creating a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere. What We Ordered: Daily Special Flatbread - Sweet BBQ sauce, smoky bacon, pineapple, provolone cheese, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. Every bite was a perfect balance of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors. The Campagna Flatbread had fresh sliced tomatoes, creamy Ovolini mozzarella, olive oil, garlic, basil, and a finishing touch of balsamic glaze. Both came with a side salad of crisp romaine and red lettuce tossed in a honey mustard dressing. The greens were fresh and the dressing was just the right amount of tangy and sweet. We added a pot of freshly steeped tea. I cannot recall the name but it was fragrant and freshly brewed, making it a perfect complement to our meal. They had so many different varieties of tea - hot, cold, Boba and more. Definitely you will find what you are looking for. Everything about our visit was so nice. We really enjoyed the ambience which was so inviting with a modern vibe. I would definitely recommend and will be back and try more from their menu! read more

Visited here twice now, once for lunch and once for Afternoon Tea. Very cute and cozy atmosphere. Lunch was amazing, service was good and friendly, and the tea selection is huge. Afternoon Tea was a lovely experience, they adjusted the menu to accommodate with dairy free options which were very delicious and clearly separated from the dairy containing options, I loved that you could try as many teas as you wanted hot or cold, and the servers were helpful in deciding which tea to choose. I wish the parking lot was a tad bigger to turn around in, but everything else was great. read more

A touch of Class in Cuddy!! Stopped in here one morning with my fella because I Love tea, and he Loves coffee and breakfast food. We perused the menu online and almost didn't stop because there wasn't a large menu. I'm SO GLAD WE DID. QUALITY over QUANTITY The environment is Bright, clean and tastefully decorated. The service is wonderful. The cook takes pride in his work. Your tastebuds will assure you. We got a quiche and a breakfast wrap. Each were Sooo full of flavor. The lavender matcha latte and Americano were fabulous. I have no idea what this Gem is doing in Cuddy, but I am SO excited they are. read more

Surprising to find this charming tea establishment in the hamlet of "Morgan" in South Fayette. Just a short distance off of I-79 Bridgeville exit. When you pass the Municipal building, slow down because the Steeping Leaf is in the building on the right and you could pass by if going to fast. There is a parking lot for customers. A sign greets you before entering explaining masks are required and they can only accommodate 25 guests. The Steeping Leaf has outdoor seating on three sides of their building, and the inside is spacious with spread out conversation style seating. There is a small side room that would be perfect for a meeting. The decor has a sophisticated cosmopolitan style and the day I was there you could feel the calming vibe. A chalkboard displays the panini, soup and quiche of the day. Behind the Gelato counter are several more boards listing the many other food options and abundant teas, latte, and other beverages. There are salads and wraps as well as snacks. You order your food at the counter but a server delivers to your table. My friend and I enjoyed their grilled vegetable with goat cheese panini and chose the delicious root chips on the side. They are open Tuesday thru Sunday and I'll be back to try the brunch menu on Saturday and Sunday. I'll be visiting the Steeping Leaf again and will update my review. read more

My baby shower was held at The Steeping Leaf. We visited twice before: once for an afternoon tea and once for lunch. Both times beforehand we were met by the owner to discuss the shower. The tea menu is extensive and each time we had excellent tea. All of the food is delicious! For the shower, once we had discussed what we were looking for (Mad Hatter Tea Party), the owner took it from there. We arrived for the baby shower and everything was decorated and set up. It looked incredible! The space is so inviting, the decorations were amazing, food was delicious, and the tea was great as well. I would recommend the Steeping Leaf for breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, and special events. We will certainly be back! read more

The last time I was in this building, it was called General Morgan's Cafe, and that was a few years ago. Since then, the inside of the building has been totally renovated, and they did a fantastic job with it. It is now called The Steeping Leaf, and they offer a plethora of hot and cold drinks to include teas, coffee, espresso, chai, and fruit smoothies, along with a lunch menu, pastries, and gelatos to satisfy your sweet tooth. I was happy to see they also have a lot of gluten-free options, to include scones, brownies, and even gluten-free waffle cones for the gelato. Today I stopped in and had an afternoon treat called "Spaghetti Bowl" gelato. It was delicious, and was gelato mixed with whipped cream and a fruity topping, I enjoyed it very much. I look forward to stopping back again in the future to try some tea, as well as the the lunch menu, and also for some more sweet treats . . . Cheers! read more

They have super good food and tea. It is very nice in there and definitely somewhere I will be going again. I have been there multiple times and it never is bad. One of my favorite things about going there is the candles that they sell. The business is called Smiling Willow Candles and who ever owns it does a great job. The candles smell amazing and the jars they are in are the cutest! One of my favorite teas to get is the Sunday morning it is just so good!! The grilled cheese is also super good as well!Make sure to check it out!! read more

We absolutely LOVE the Steeling Leaf! It is our favorite spot for a tea or coffee meeting, as well as working there all day . Everything on the menu is delicious and the I especially like all of the German style specials they make. Super cool vibe, and the only coffee/tea shop we go too. My only gripe (which is small) is that I wish they used an actual espresso machine for their espresso drinks, rather than using a Nespresso machine, but I get they are a tea shop first. Love it, you should absolutely swing by The Steeping Leaf! read more
