Brave Bean Coffee Company - North Shore
20 E General Robinson St, Pittsburgh, PA
Crema's Take
“Brave Bean is a service-disabled veteran-owned coffeehouse that pulls some of Pittsburgh's finest espresso, with knowledgeable baristas who genuinely care about craft and community. The North Shore location perfectly positions you for pre-game caffeine runs or post-museum visits, while their thoughtful touches—like the wall where you can buy coffee for veterans—make every visit feel like supporting something meaningful. Whether you're settling in for a pour over or grabbing a quick traditional drink alongside one of their killer salads, the cozy vibes and roasting excellence keep locals coming back.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. Quick-grab spot. Light food on the menu.

This spot has the best espresso in the city! The location is perfect—just a short walk from the Andy Warhol Museum and ideal for catching a Pirates or Steelers game. Their salads are fantastic and convenient, and the decaf coffee is my favorite (twilight tonic) Highly recommend!
