With over 100 million cups of coffee consumed daily by Americans, it’s clear that we all need our daily “pick me up”. And when you move to a new city and don’t know where to get that “pick me up” those first few weeks can tend to drag by slowly and painfully. Luckily, when it comes to living in a city like Pittsburgh, there are plenty of places to get a good cup of joe before you start your day!
Pittsburgh's Freshest Coffee Spots
1. Lili Cafe. Hidden at the bottom of one of Polish Hill’s steepest streets, there stands a little coffee shop known as Lili Cafe . With it’s worn wooden floors and rustic feel, the vibe of this coffee shop is something most people yearn for in their early morning routine. Their homemade baked goods and breakfast foods will make for a delicious start to your day, while their different styles of coffee will give you that extra pep in your step.
2. La Gourmandine. Located in the heart of Lawrenceville, where Lower Lawrenceville meets Upper Lawrenceville, you’ll find a quaint little French Bakery on Butler Street known as La Gourmandine. Being owned by a married couple, Fabien and Lisanne Moreau, both of whom were born and raised in France, La Gourmandine is one of the only opportunities to get a true taste of France from the comfort of Pittsburgh. While primarily a French bakery, La Gourmandine offers coffee and tea, both of which delightfully compliment the delicious smells and tastes of freshly baked pastries in the morning.
3. La Prima Espresso. Buried deep inside the hustle and bustle of the Pittsburgh’s Strip District, you’ll find La Prima Espresso. An Italian styled espresso bar that has become a second home to many regulars, La Prima Espresso is a coffee shop with a mission: to source, roast and brew quality coffee. And if you become hooked, as many Pittsburghers do, you’re welcome to buy your own freshly ground coffee and brewing equipment so you can taste that same great stimulating mug full from the comfort of your own home.
4. Beehive Coffeehouse & Dessertery. If you live on the other side of Pittsburgh, in the South Side, there is a zesty little coffee shop on East Carson street called Beehive Coffeehouse & Dessertery. A real down to Earth hole-in-the-wall kind of place, the Beehive is a great place to start your morning with the delicious welcoming taste of warm coffee and even warmer personalities. It’s lively painted murals and decor create a an energetic vibe that compliments its relaxed and easygoing vibe.
So, don't let your first few weeks of living in Pittsburgh drag by. Start your morning fresh. Grab a hot cup of joe. Taste the delicacy of countries like France and Italy from the town you call home. And enjoy one of the many coffee spots the great city of Pittsburgh has to offer!
