Commonplace Coffee
1501 Buena Vista St, Pittsburgh, PA
Crema's Take
“Commonplace Coffee is a thoughtfully run espresso bar where baristas take genuine care with both traditional cappuccinos and creative specialty drinks like perfectly-executed matcha lattes. The space cultivates a genuinely comfortable atmosphere for lingering conversations or solo work, complete with real ceramic mugs and pastries that pair beautifully with their carefully-sourced coffee. If you're serious about your espresso or pour overs, this Pittsburgh spot delivers the kind of quality that impresses even café enthusiasts from traditional coffee cultures.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.
