Crema's Take
“PAIR Charcuterie in Downtown Pittsburgh is a warmly welcoming spot where expertly crafted coffee and matcha pair beautifully with thoughtfully curated charcuterie boards and an impressive brunch menu that goes far beyond the typical café fare. The shop's real magic lies in its convivial atmosphere and community-focused spirit—whether you're settling in for a slow sit with friends, attending one of their interactive charcuterie classes, or working with owner Shaquala on a catering event, you'll find genuine hospitality and creative energy at every turn. It's the kind of small business that feels like a neighborhood gem, where every detail from the pastries to the presentation reflects care and intention.”

My experience at PAIRpgh Café was truly wonderful from the moment I walked through the door. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and welcoming in a way that immediately made me feel comfortable. What stood out most was how genuine the owner is. You can truly feel that they care about every single customer who walks into the café. It doesn’t feel transactional — it feels personal. The warm welcome I received made me feel like I was part of the family rather than just another guest placing an order. That type of hospitality is rare and speaks volumes about the integrity of the business. It’s clear that PAIRpgh Café operates with intention, heart, and purpose. I was also impressed by how organized and forward-thinking the café is. They offer workshops that bring the community together, which adds so much value beyond just coffee and food. Their online ordering system is simple, easy to use, and very streamlined — making it convenient for busy customers who are on the go. Everything feels well thought out and customer-focused. Overall, PAIRpgh Café is an amazing business that is welcoming and forthcoming to all patrons. The atmosphere, the integrity, the sense of community, and the attention to detail make it a place you genuinely want to return to. I will absolutely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for not just a great café, but a great experience.
I worked with Shaquala and her team at PAIR on a catering order for two of our events. Both times Shaquala was so lovely to work with. She was accommodating and provided suggestions on what would be best for the size of crowd and type of event. The most recent catering order was this past weekend - the grazing charcuterie board that she prepared for us was divine! Everyone in attendance was asking who the caterer was. Truly was the highlight of our event! Highly recommend working with PAIR for your next event! ✨
Love their menu! lots of delicious lunch and brunch options for on the go, plus their coffee/matcha always hits!😌

The most adorable welcoming coffee shop, but there is so much more here! We also did a charcuterie class and I highly recommend it!! This is a small business and definitely needs you all to come out and support it! Amazing pistachio latte, unique and delicious charcuterie boards, and fun breakfast sandwiches and grits! Must try!!!
