Crema's Take

Allegheny Coffee & Tea Exchange is a coffee lover's sanctuary in Pittsburgh's Strip District, where the intoxicating aroma of freshly roasted beans hits you the moment you walk through the door and hundreds of single-origin and flavored varieties line the shelves. Whether you're grabbing a meticulously pulled espresso or pour over to sip while working on your laptop, or spending time curating your perfect bag of whole beans with help from their genuinely knowledgeable staff, this place strikes that rare balance between serious coffee destination and welcoming neighborhood gathering spot. The roasting happens right there in Pittsburgh, and the care they put into sourcing and preparing their beans is evident in every review praising their quality and selection.

Love this place! I bought coffee beans of different flavors and thoroughly enjoyed them. Good quality, helpful staff, and variety of selection. I also recently ordered coffee beans online and they packed the beans so carefully, sent a cute postcard of Pittsburgh with a handwritten note. Highly recommend!

Genuinely one of the best coffee spots in the entire Strip! The smell alone of the coffee beans is worth going in for, but all their coffee options are so delicious! Definitely sample their different flavored cold brews, they’re each so unique and tasty! The French Vanilla nitro cold brew was perfect, super smooth with the nitro frothiness on top, this place is a coffee enjoyers dream!

This was my first visit, and wow is this place a coffee lovers dream. They have hundreds of varieties all made local to Pittsburgh. You can get whole bean or ground. They all have a full service made to order coffee area. The store is very large and has make your own coffee bags. It was very busy on a Saturday when we went and the line was out the door but worth the wait.

Heaven for coffee lovers. it’s primarily a coffee shop where you buy coffee beans, and they have a extremely large assortment of coffee from all around the world, which they seem to roast some of them at the property itself. They also sell coffee beverages at the store, and that is why I was there. I went in five minutes before the closing time, and yet there was quite a long queue, which tells me that they are busy throughout the day. Got a large vanilla ice latte for a little less than six dollars, and this is the cheapest vanilla ice latte I have had throughout the city. And it was extremely delicious. Not sure what kind of coffee they use, but it was strong and hit the spot. The syrup was a little bit more on the sweeter side than I like it, but then I did not mind it. Definitely give this place a visit if you want good coffee. Not an actual cafe, so there are no places to sit. Keep that in mind while you’re thinking of getting coffee.

The smell of flavored coffees in the air, the line of expectant coffee lovers, the joy of having so many choices of coffees, and they sell cups with candles. The aroma and experience is lovely especially on a Saturday morning with a bustling crowd going up and down Penn Avenue where there are so many fun stores to enjoy your coffee with. This place has so many types of coffee you will never be disappointed in the selection. They have an in store coffee roaster.
