Margaux

Went there last night. Homeless dude got into altercation with manager, and guests (myself included). I helped usher the homeless dude out, and we went about our night. It’s not so much the homeless dude lamping on their couch why I’m giving a bad review (it was 5 degrees out, and my man wanted to stay warm, totally fine). It was the fact that the manager didn’t come over to say “sorry about that, thanks for your help.”

Margaux is a gorgeous space with lots of natural light. Very peaceful, a great atmospheric place to get work done. Delicious Honey Lavender Lattes and Chicken Salad toast.

Margaux in East Liberty is a stylish and inspired hybrid of a European café and cocktail bar. By day, it’s the perfect spot to sip on a specialty coffee while lounging on cozy couches—ideal for getting work done or hosting a relaxed meeting. By night, the space transforms into a sophisticated cocktail bar, perfect for a night out. I recently stopped by to try their seasonal café menu and was seriously impressed. The root beer espresso float was insane—made with house-made sassafras root beer and oat milk cold foam infused with coffee and caraway. It was simple, caffeinated, and tasted just like a classic root beer float with a grown-up twist. The sage latte was whimsical and beautifully crafted, with a subtle floral essence that lingered perfectly. I also had a croissant, which was flaky, light, and absolutely delightful. I can't wait to go back and experience the nighttime vibe at Margaux. If the cocktails are anything like the coffee, it’s going to be a standout spot.

Incredible! The food is excellent. The staff is very welcoming and helpful. Love the decor too. Highly recommend. My fav spot in this amazing city to hang out and chill. Isabel was a great server.

I wanted to give it a perfect rating, so bad, but the coffee was a letdown. Margaux is one of the prettiest cafe in pittsburgh, if not the prettiest. It is large, spacious, modern, full of natural light, and has plenty of seating options + free wifi. it also has a wide variety of indoor plants which gives it a very urban jungle vibes. You go out to the cash register and order there. They hand you a number and then bring you your food and drink. This basically means you don’t have to wait at the counter for your drink to be ready and can go chill instead, which is pretty cool. I visited on Monday morning, and it was pretty full. Most people were either just working from there or having meetings. The crowded the cafe seemed a little bit more posh compared to the other cafes. I have visited. For the first round, I got a cappuccino, which was average. I also got the chicken toast, which is an open face sourdough with generous serving of chicken salad. The toast was amazing. They did not skimp on the quantity of chicken as the flavours and textures were on spot. For my second round, I got an almond croissant, which was again pretty average and a latte, which was very disappointing. The latte was watered down, and the coffee flavour was extremely weak. It felt like I was drinking milk with a little bit of coffee. Honestly, don’t get lattes here. Next time I might want to try the pour over.
