Commonplace Coffee

I love it here! They have a big communal table with outlets for working on a laptop, ceramic mugs for in-house orders, and a nice selection of baked goods, including gluten free! There’s also a bunch of outdoor seating, including a courtyard, which is so rare in Pittsburgh. Throughout the week they have various food trucks that park outside so you can have a little lunch there too. The staff is kind and efficient. Drinks are quality + they always have a rotating menu of seasonal syrups. I usually get the chai latte, which is a nice balance of warm, spicey + tannin-y (some places’ chai lattes are either really hot spicy without much milkiness or depth, or they just taste like liquid oatmeal because the only spice used is cinnamon). Parking is easy. I just feel like they’ve thought of everything, which is what I want in a coffee shop. I travel 10 minutes from a neighboring suburb just to come here once, sometimes twice a week. Keep up the great work y’all!

Delicious quality coffee, usually gluten/dairy free options for munchies, and good service. Seating is at a premium however so you may need to get your order to go.
