Crema's Take

De Fer Coffee & Tea is a genuinely independent gem in downtown Pittsburgh that feels refreshingly non-corporate, with baristas who are both friendly and patient while you settle in with your laptop. Beyond solid espresso drinks, they're doing interesting things with their food program—think vegan chocolate chip pumpkin muffins and chia pudding—that elevate it beyond typical coffee shop fare, and their proximity to the Christmas market makes it a natural gathering spot for a cozy break.

The overnight oats were tasty. The frittata was good but not special. Prices were reasonable and service was quick. A nice coffee shop, would come back.

My sister in law and I stopped here for some pre Christmas relaxing time! It was all so good! She is vegan and so we both got a vegan chocolate chip pumpkin muffin! (One of the best muffins I have ever had) We also got breakfast sandwiches and a latte! I got mine as a cookie butter latte but Christmas style for extra cuteness and aesthetics! How cute?! The staff was so friendly and patient! 100% will be stopping anytime I’m in the area!

It was a super cute spot! Located so close to the Christmas market. The coffee was hot and amazing full of flavor. The staff was absolutely fantastic! 10/10 recommend!

De Fer Coffee & Tea is an absolute five-star gem nestled right in downtown Pittsburgh. If you are searching for a coffee shop that is genuinely unique and not corporately owned, look no further. The space itself is wonderfully quaint, bursting with character and charm, making it the perfect spot to sit and leisurely work on personal or business projects. The coffee is, without exaggeration, exceptional. Their latte is a must-try--it's silky, full-bodied, and truly scrumptious. Beyond the drinks, the food offerings are outstanding. For a savory start, I highly recommend their mushroom breakfast sandwich. Adding to the atmosphere, the shop is decorated with lots of cute and interesting merchandise, plus a delicious array of pastries to choose from. Best of all, the staff are amazing and super friendly, always willing to explain any of their offerings. De Fer is definitely a regular stop of mine and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a truly unique and friendly coffee experience in the city.

Staff was friendly & patient - location / atmosphere is nice and I loved their chia pudding. I could also tell their espresso is wonderful, but unfortunately the milk texture of my latte was not great - that, and it was far above scalding hot. I think y’all didn’t think I would notice on milk since I took my latte to go, but overall I think this is a nice shop and I’m glad I stopped in!
