Uptown Coffee

Love the coffee and the staff here. Was really impressed when new ownership fixed the wifi issues--I can finally rely on it & get work done. I have to say though, as someone who is gluten intolerant, there's nothing for me to eat here :( If gluten free items aren't possible to make in house, partnering with another Pittsburgh business like Baked True North would be a good option. I know some other local cafes sell their gluten-free goods. However, I did enjoy Uptown's baked goods before my diagnosis, and I bet if the bakers made one or two gluten free options, they'd be delicious.

I go out of my way to get coffee here. The coffee itself is average but the flavored ones like one would get at a Starbucks is so much better and an extensive menu is offered. They also serve home baked cookies, which look amazeballs, pies, brownies, etc. I haven't gotten the baked goods as yet because my coffee buddy has a gluten allergy and they do not offer GF baked goods unfortunately. They offer 3 small tables with 2 chairs each in front of their store. We always walk down the hill and sit at a table next to a restaurant that is closed that time of day. On Saturday, across the street, is a little farmers market which was fun. As far as I know, there is only parallel parking available. The employees are friendly, patient and professional.
