Commonplace Coffee
7514 Thomas Blvd, Pittsburgh, PA
Crema's Take
“This neighborhood gem in Rockwell Park nails the cappuccino purist approach with single-size, properly proportioned drinks that prioritize espresso-forward technique over customer expectations—a refreshing stance for those who care about coffee done right. Beyond the excellent lattes and thoughtful pour overs, visitors consistently praise the spacious, cozy atmosphere and friendly staff, making it feel less like a transaction and more like ducking into a friend's living room. The location doubles as a genuine community hub, convenient for art show attendees and locals alike, with baked goods and light food that suggest they've thought through the whole experience.”

I’m Confused about the size of cappuccino that came in a tiny cup like an espresso shot. I was told it comes only in one size . Maybe I don’t the etiquette of coffee sizes . I also bought a honey glazed donut , I was asked if I needed a fork which I replied yes but I’m guessing they didn’t hear me because I didn’t receive it . Complimentary water was finished too , I understand the crew was about to close the store in an hour so I picked up a spoon from across the register and Nevertheless I still tipped my barista . I Really want to love this place . I will try again . I left about 5:45 15 mins before they close and went to In-ef-fa-ble coffee inside Enson Market for a normal sized cappuccino
Came in because we’d run out of milk for our own brewed coffee. Commonplace sold us a cup and saved the morning from a catastrophic event!
This is in my local neighborhood. I love this place. The lattes are very well made. I’m able to walk there for my morning caffeine fix. It’s very beautiful and cozy in there, the employees are very nice. I’m very happy. When I say I want a latte, I’m talking about common place.
This commonplace coffee is located in Rockwell park. The place is spacious and comfortable with a variety of seating and tables. The baked goods and salads are delicious. A great place to talk, work, study and read while enjoying the best coffee in the city.
My first time visiting the Commonplace Coffee in Rockwell Park. We were participating in a Saturday art show upstairs in the same building, so the location was very convenient for me and many other visitors. The was a decent line when I arrived, but things moved quickly as they were well staffed. I ordered a large peppermint mocha off the special menu as well as a cinnamon roll. Both were pretty good. The mocha wasn't too hot when I got it like at some places, but that allowed me to try it right away. Not too strong of a peppermint flavor which I know scares some people away from trying such seasonal drinks, so this could be a good one for first timers to try. That place was nice with plenty of seating and a big garage door that can open in warmer months.
