The Boredom Set
435 Market St, Pittsburgh, PA
Crema's Take
“Tucked away near Market Square, this downtown Pittsburgh spot strikes that rare balance between serious specialty coffee and genuinely welcoming atmosphere—their single origins and pour-overs are prepared with real expertise, but the space itself invites you to linger without pressure. The team clearly knows their beans inside and out, from thermal shock processing details to helping you pick the perfect bag to take home, and they pull consistently excellent espresso drinks with that smooth, fresh-baked quality reviewers keep coming back for. It's the kind of place where whether you're after a quick quality cappuccino or settling in with your laptop for the afternoon, you'll feel equally at home.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, laptop-friendly.

Nice warm and welcoming space. My girlfriend really enjoyed the strawberry matcha and my espresso was very good. Nice smooth brew and frothy. I would often visit if I spent more time downtown and parking in Market Square wasn’t such a hassle.

This is a very neat coffee shop! They serve very high quality coffee here! Their latte and drip coffee were amazing! Highly recommend!
A very well-prepared pourover (they had a thermal shock bean!) There are also a variety of specialty beans for purchase and the staff is very knowledgeable, helping you pick out the beans. Wish there were more food options.
The reviews did not disappoint. Excellent atmosphere tucked in the side near Market. Nice grind cappuccino with the freshness equivalent of baked bread. Slightly dark cocoa aftertaste and not bitter.
