Needle & Bean
320 Castle Shannon Blvd, Pittsburgh, PA
Crema's Take
“Needle & Bean is a Mt. Lebo gem that celebrates the fundamentals—exceptional espresso-based drinks, particularly their renowned cappuccinos—in a thoughtfully designed space where vinyl records and indie music set the perfect backdrop for savoring coffee with intention. The baristas are genuinely warm and attentive, creating an atmosphere so inviting and cozy that it naturally becomes a gathering place for both solitary coffee contemplation and lingering conversations. If you're seeking a no-fuss, no-gimmicks coffee experience with real character and soul, this is exactly where you belong.”

This cafe has such a warm and cozy atmosphere. The design, the vinyl records, and all the little details make it feel very unique and relaxing. The coffee was great, and the service was even better. The girl working today was very friendly and welcoming you can really see that she enjoys her job. I felt very comfortable here. Highly recommend!
Great place in Mt Lebo! Best cappuccino in the South Hills. Cool vibe, vinyl, and indie music.
Great coffee. Friendly staff. Always a nice place to enjoy a drink and listen to music. They don’t accept tips but the customer service is still top notch! Definitely stop by if you are in the area!
I’ve only been living in the area a few months and was overjoyed to discover Needle & Bean. Great coffee, great vibes, and great tunes. The baristas are friendly and it’s a great spot to write alone, catch up with friends, or browse their impressive vinyl collection.
Very cozy spot with great customer service!! This is not the type of coffee shop that has “specialty lattes” or fun seasonal drinks. I was disappointed by this at first but they have your normal coffee and tea selections to choose from. My step dad had their dark roast and said it was delicious, he would even like to get beans next time to take home! I personally had the Fake Coffee tea latte. It was absolutely delicious!! I added honey and it was perfectly sweet. The shop itself is very nice, clean, and cozy. It is definitely a spot I could hang out for a few hours to get some work done or even read a book! The vinyl selection is fairly large.. there’s certainly something for everyone!
