Okay, this place is growing on me. The coffee is good. and it's big in here, so there is plenty of searing. They play good music, too. read more

Uptown Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

The customer service here was really bad. When you go to a coffee shop you expect to be treated well and feel invited, not treated rude and disrespected. I will not be returning to this shop. AND parking was terrible. read more

I love the space in here. Lots of seating with eclectic furniture. It's cozy with a hometown community feel. My chai latte was okay. I've had much better at other establishments. The wifi was pretty sluggish, so it was a hard for me to get work done. Baristas were nice. I'll probably give this place another try. The dessert display was mighty tempting... read more

Great local coffee shop. I come here a few times a week to work, and the free wifi and spacious seating are much appreciated. It can get loud at times, but nothing headphones won't fix. Love their iced coffee and iced tea of the day, especially the acai green tea. The pumpkin chocolate chip bread is really moist and delicious as well. read more

A recent discovery of mine and I'm glad that I found it! I loved the home-y feel of this place. There were lots of tables to work on, each with it's own individualized lamp! The artwork on the walls were fun to look at. The cup sizes for iced drinks are really big! A small is the equivalent of at least a medium (if not bigger) at a place like Starbucks. I'm lactose intolerant so I get soy milk but they don't charge me extra for it! (Usually $0.70 or more elsewhere). Parking is tricky but I always find a spot..plus the location is on a nice strip with other stores and offices so parking further down the street is worth the stroll. read more

Uptown Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

See all

This spot is all about the vibe, which then aids in the enjoyment of the product all the more. It is not necessarily a specific drive for the coffee type-a-place (nor special stop worthy, but all-around okay). But I would not be opposed to selecting from their numerous Baked options, having a cup, and chilling in their setup. It seems like a great place to get things done, read, meet-up, relax, etc. So, I recommend going because the complete package makes this place worthwhile. There is not one specific thing that will blow your mind, but when all working synergistically, this place comes together nicely. read more

This was my first time and coffee & pastries were delicious. I had pumpkin coffee, a cinnamon roll, and later, a pumpkin spice latte. The atmosphere was totally coffee-shop-esque. It was pretty busy (Plein Air weekend); it was nice to see a lot of activity. I came here to study and was undisturbed for the 5 hours I sat in the corner. I originally had trouble connecting to the WiFi, but that was all my computer's fault :) I can't wait to go back, Uptown might become my weekend study haven! read more

Uptown Coffee - Caramel latte and pumpkin chocolate muffin :) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Where else but Uptown could you get huge homemade biscotti for $2 and Hungarian-language lessons for free? I noticed that the sugar container said "Sugar", and also "Azucar" (Spanish), and... "Cukar". I asked if that was Turkish. No, said the cute guy behind the counter, that's Hungarian. (Turkish would have been "seker", I learned later.) I know only one phrase in Hungarian, I said: "Halvány fogalmam sincs". He smiled and said it in English: "I have no idea." A useful phrase to know, he agreed. The coffee drinks here are simple but good. The names are fanciful; espresso with milk and a Torani shot is an "Elizabethan". Dunking your biscotti into a good coffee, however, is an Uptown pleasure that will cost you surprisingly little -- and the sidewalk tables are a great way to add some Mt. Lebanon ambience. read more

The coffee is great but the pastries are a bit dry. Thankfully, I don't normally get the pastries.

I adored Uptown Coffee as a middle- and high-school student, mostly due to its proximity to the school. It is a great, mellow place to hang out for hours. Their drinks and desserts are always delicious, and they used to serve sandwiches. They seem to have gone through a makeover since I graduated, and now it is much better lit, though the much-beloved couch is no longer. Uptown Coffee is a great alternative to Starbucks and a great place to spend a few hours catching up with friends. read more

I've frequented this local coffee spot over the past months and every time it's been busy but thankfully service was swift and friendly. Always order my standard small non-fat latte and it's always steaming hot and strong. Last week my daughter and I shared their seasonal chocolate pumpkin bread which was delicious (though I must admit sharing with a 2 1/2 yr old usually means you get one bite in before they finish it). Suffice it to say we had a good time. Giving it 3 stars for consistency in staff friendliness and quality of beverages and baked goods but would happily give 5 stars if they upped the warm/cozy vibe worked in to their overall decor (sorry I hail from Seattle and I want to enjoy my coffee shop for all it's worth). Perhaps a small loveseat or more armchairs? read more

Uptown Coffee - Happiness is a warm...pumpkin spiced latte and a good book at Uptown. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Location The place is open late, which can be a good and bad thing, when I walked in it was later at night and the barista was hanging out with a group of 12 teenagers sprawled across a set of tables, not really purchasing anything, just there. They were loud and didn't really mind other customers in the location. I grabbed my coffee and left as I being in my mid 20's was out of place. Think of the beehive when they let 14 yr olds in. Food: It has a variety of coffees and pastries. The coffee I had was a medium roast that had a good smooth taste, without too much acidity. The coffee was pretty fresh for the time, but I wish there was more information about it. I tried one of their cookies and man was I let down. I thought it would be amazing with how it looked. Service: The barista didn't know location of grounds or any information about it other than "house blend". Once she got away from her friends, she was a bit more helpful, but she tried to rush us out so she could get back to what she was doing. Overall: I want to like this place, I really do. It's right near my house so I will try it again. Good coffee outweighs mediocre cookies anyday. read more

My go to coffee shop in the Mt. Lebanon area. They offer a wide variety of roasts for a normal cup, or let one of their talented baristas fix you up something fancy, either way can't go wrong. What always keeps me coming back is the friendly staff who are always a pleasure to see if it's your first time or if you're a regular. read more

Ordered a special cheesecake for my daughter's birthday. It was the best I have every had! Ready on time. Safe environment to pick up. Thank you! read more

I've been coming to Uptown Coffee since I was little, and it still remains to be my favorite coffee shop in the Mt. Lebanon area. The employees are super friendly and accommodating, the atmosphere is great to read, do work, or catch up with a friend. The baked goods are amazing! You simply cannot stop at Uptown without getting a cookie or some other baked good, you won't regret it. read more

Uptown Coffee has some of the best pastries and coffee in Mt. Lebanon! I am especially in love with their muffins! I get one every chance I get! They have very friendly baristas who make it a point to get to know their customers, too! read more

Uptown Coffee is a Mt Lebanon staple. They have delicious baked goods and specialty drinks like milkshakes and Italian sodas, HOWEVER the coffee is not as good as other places in the area. If you're looking for a cool vibe, nice place to work (Free WiFi!), and something other than coffee than this place is for you! read more

Great coffee shop on Main Street in Mt Lebanon. Coffees were good and atmosphere was relaxing. Nice place to stop in for a hot or cold drink read more

So....uptown doesn't need to be so uppity.......I spent $16.00 this morning in this coffee shop. I asked if my cinnamon roll could please be heated and the "helper" stated, "Those just came out of the oven". Last I checked, I don't have any problems telling the difference between, cold, warm and hot. My roll was cold. I just ate it that way. Not going back anytime soon. Customer-centricity is all about making your customer feel welcome so that they will come back. What a pity that one female ruined my first time customer service experience. read more

the drinks are good, but there is this one horribly rude employee and i don't know her name but she has very short blond hair. it was honestly awful to have to order from her but the other employees are fine. there's also another girl with long black hair and bangs who's also pretty rude. The atmosphere is very nice when they're not there though, so I would highly recommend going. read more

Great place to meet and talk Friendly staff and good atmosphere

Just began working in the area. Grabbed a Pecan Scone before the work day began. The scone is making coming back to work after the Thanksgiving Holiday very enjoyable! They are true to their word that their baked goods are made from scratch daily! read more

Average brew, not my favorite. No available internet when I was there and I need that with my coffee. Tough location to get to.

I come here at least once a week. The atmosphere is perfect for getting work done. Everything on the menu is honestly delicious, but I especially love their lattes. The baked goods are also delicious- the cheesecakes and the chocolate cake are amazing! read more

Great atmosphere, free WiFi, the best cookies, awesome drinks! This place is one of my favorite study spots

Was doing a photo shoot next door at Empire Music. Great cafe place, and great coffee. Morning on the weekday and it was packed. Barristaa was fast and fun. I wish this place were near where I work. Very good eclectic seating. Espresso was fine -- single shot. read more

I recently visited for the first time. The peanut butter pie was unbelievable! The other items in the bakery case looked just as good, and I suspect I'll be back soon to try something new. read more

The fresh homemade scones!!! Enough said! Great little place with cute and comfy furniture. But...updating the review and lowering a star because the wi-if here is useless. read more

I LOVE this place. You can actually smell the goodness coming from it when approaching. If I can recommend only one dessert (which is incredibly hard because the owner makes everything there from scratch) it would have to be the Sea Salt Chocolate Chip cookies. to. die. for. They also have seasonal specialty drinks that change every so often which is helpful for those days I just have zero clue what to get! read more

My weekly group of meditation buddies and I often stop here post Om. Most of them are tea drinkers, but coffee is my beverage of choice, and it's very good here, served in a nice, welcoming atmosphere. I've had the drip and the espresso drinks, and they are all above average. I opted for the house decaf on my most recent visit, and it was a deep and complex brew. Biscotti, cookies and quick breads/cakes are all available for snacking. There are mismatched tables and chairs for seating, and vintage advertising posters on the walls, and I like the rather eclectic decor, too. Parking is street metered, but I never seem to have a problem finding a spot. If you do, keep heading south to the parking garage a few blocks down. read more

This place has a great vibe to it, nice study place, nice chill spot, great baked goods (cookies and more), and ofcourse: great drinks. My only complaint, which is barely a complaint, is that the prices are a little on the higher end. Like starbucks-like. However since it is in the Mount Lebanon uptown area, it's normal to have these prices. read more

It's hard to argue with the delicious, fresh coffee and the never-ending parade of fresh baked treats coming from the modest little coffeehouse at the edge of the Lebo shopping district. I can happily while away a half-workday, sipping mug after tall mug of their house roasts while utilizing the wi-fi that has become as much a part of coffeehouse decor as the vintage seating. I like to set up shop towards the back, away from the cold outdoors but more importantly right by the kitchen where the bakers are outdoing themselves several times an hour. Biscotti, banana bread and pumpkin bread, coffee cake with huge nut pieces, and about 439 kinds of cookie emerge and never disappoint. read more

The best little coffee shop in Pittsburgh! The atmosphere is great! The baristas are super friendly (the one woman is the most cheerful, happy person I've ever met) and helpful. I commonly ask about the flavor of the day, and they give me their honest feedback and opinion. I particularly enjoy the hazelnut and caramel nut ones; they seem to be more nutty and less sweet than most places. I've had more than my share of espresso drinks as well, and they are also great. Yes, there are occasionally 10+ middle or high school kids there, but in my experience, they're respectful and well behaved. If that's not enough to take Uptown to the next level, the desserts are out of this world. Muffins, apple coffee cake, cookies, lemon squares, banana bread, omg I could go on and on and on. All of it outstanding. Also, they serve Betsy's Ice Cream!!!!! I've never had a problem with the temperature (if you're cold, move toward the back, if you're hot, move toward the front). But the wifi will occasionally need to be reset. The baristas are always happy to help. read more

It's quite interesting reading the reviews below. Why? Because Uptown Coffee always seems to have a group of youngsters hanging around every time I swing by for a cup of latte. However, I don't mind whatsoever. Even with a group of teenage girls and boys around, you're still able to find your space around the shop for business work or simply just for relaxation. I go there about once or twice a month because their drinks and desserts are delicious. Service is great as well. read more

Out of town visitor in pittsburgh and needed to get some work done so came here.. It was awesome!! At first I was bummed they didn't have pour over coffee but the iced coffee was delicious. I also got the veggie sandwich and granola. Both were amazing and may have been one of the best vegetarian sandwiches I've had- tons of veggies, hummus and flavor. My sister got a cookie and ham sandwich bth that she loved. Free wifi, lots of room to sit. Lastly, very friendly staff. They told me they bake their extensive bakery goods there and helped me navigate my way to kennywood during rush hour for my sis. I went back today and was still awesome. read more

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and delicious baked goods. A lot of places to sit and just relax. Great place to spend a Sunday afternoon!

I love this place!! It's very cozy and the perfect place to meet up with friends to just chat. They have the most amazing cinnamon buns. The cookies, pies and cheese cake looked amazing! I would definitely recommend coming to this place to enjoy a nice cup of coffee and some desserts. read more

Seems like a cool spot. Was not impressed with my drink. Ordered a Black Iced Americano with 2 additional shots of espresso; at best it was light brown and translucent, very weak which shouldn't be the case if you explicitly order additional espresso. I'll probably give them another chance because the place seems interesting, but won't order an iced coffee again. read more

Completely in love with this place. The ambiance is nice and calm and with youngsters around you feel fun. And about coffee one word YUMMY !! Been in Pittsburgh for almost three months now and was still not getting coffee like that I am still surprised why I didn't found this place earlier .A must go if you love local coffee shops with that authentic flavour and not to forget ordering their awesome apple walnut coffee cake that tasted perfect with my hazelnut latte.!! read more

I don't think the drinks are as good as Aldo down the street, but Uptown has a much more laid-back and relaxed vibe than the Aldo circus. Maybe it was the time of day, but it seemed like the staff were a little less than thrilled to help us. When we asked for details on a drink, I had the feeling we were taking away from their valuable time for them to answer a question. They have much more food options than Aldo if you'd like a treat with your drink - lots of cookies, biscotti, brownies, etc. read more
