Crema's Take

De Fer Coffee is a modern industrial sanctuary in Pittsburgh's Strip District where the baristas genuinely seem to enjoy crafting drinks—their affogatos and mochas consistently impress even well-traveled coffee enthusiasts, and they're just as happy surprising you with a custom iced creation as they are perfecting a signature rosemary latte. The space strikes that rare balance of being quiet and cozy enough for focused work sessions while still feeling welcoming for lingering conversations over a carefully made cup. With an espresso-focused menu that clearly prioritizes quality and creativity, this is the kind of neighborhood spot where you'll find yourself becoming a regular.

What a nice place and the baristas were wonderful! They have some gluten free treats. My husband said it was the best affogato he's ever had!

Cute classic shop to stop in the Strip District. Try the rosemary latte. Quiet, modern industrial vibe, perfect for working, studying, or catching up with a friend.

This is the place to be if you want a chill place to enjoy a latte. They make the best mocha I have ever had (and I have frequented many many coffee shops across the country). The staff are welcoming and friendly. This is a "must visit" if you're in the area.

Big cozy coffee spot with many seats. It's been my favorite place to work and grab a coffee lately. The black coffee is a bit overpriced but which local coffee shop isn't these days. To their credit, refills are free. They have many pastries and sweets options. I also think they make sandwiches. Great service and staff

This place is amazing! I couldn’t decide what to order, so I asked the barista to surprise me with an iced caffeinated drink, and it turned out delicious. The staff was super friendly and really knew what they were doing. I’m so glad I found this spot, it’s definitely going to be my new go to. They also have a great selection of bakery items and chocolates. Highly recommend!
