Uptown Coffee
723 Washington Rd, Pittsburgh, PA
Crema's Take
“Uptown Coffee brings a distinctly European and Middle Eastern aesthetic to Pittsburgh, with well-trained baristas who clearly care about their craft and a space that's equally welcoming whether you're grabbing a quick coffee or settling in with your laptop for hours. The late hours are a genuine lifesaver for the neighborhood, and regulars rave about the fresh pastries and overall quality—just know that their specialty drinks like matcha and cinnamon creations can be hit-or-miss, so stick with straightforward coffee orders to experience what they do best.”

Ordered two cinnamon maple lattes. They tasted like cinnamon milk. There was no coffee or maple flavor. There was so much cinnamon we were practically eating it as we tried to drink. The service wasn’t great. The atmosphere was nice.
Visiting from out of the area. Ratings were high and the matcha looked amazing so I decided to visit the establishment. I am a big fan of matcha…….very disappointed with what I was given. I ordered a blackberry matcha latte and what I got was milk no flavor what so ever. Now time to get some Matcha someplace else.
So so so good. I can’t get enough of this place. Just know if I lived closer I would be here everyday. Bad for my fitness and financial goods but very positive for my quality of life in my opinion. I loved my iced latte with house made brow sugar syrup, it was so good. And besides the coffee being amazing, the baked goods available is just heaven for any foodie. Cinnamon rolls, cookies, muffins, cheesecake, you name it. I had the pumpkin chocolate chip bread which was to die for and the chocolate chip cookie which was also amazing. I will be going back for the cheesecake and I can’t wait.
We were driving around in the neighbourhood and wanted to stop by a coffee shop, and this popped up. I love the fact that they are open till late because most coffee shops in the city shut at around 3 to 4 PM. The space is large and welcoming. There is plenty of seating, and I could see a lot of people on the laptop is working. They have a huge selection of baked goods along with coffee. We tried the lemon bar, and it was so good. We also got the 20 ounce vanilla latte and again. It was amazing. The coffee was strong, and the amount of sweetness from the vanilla syrup was just right. I would definitely frequent this place if it was closer to my house.
Great coffee shop - different style and decor, more into Europe & Middle East modern coffee shops style. Baristas are really good, well-trained, and so friendly. Very fresh and tasty cookies and sweet bars. I tried. I ordered my favorite coffee "cortado" and it was good. This coffee shop deserves a visit.
