Crema's Take
“Nestled in Pittsburgh's Lawrence Hall food court, Dear James is a vibrant coffee and cocktail bar that thrives on creative energy and social flexibility—it's the kind of place where you can grab a specialty drink while your group splits up to sample sushi, Korean corn dogs, or soul food from the surrounding vendors. The two-level space buzzes with pinball machines and genuinely great bartenders, making it less a traditional coffee shop and more a lively hub where craft drinks pair perfectly with the freedom to explore multiple cuisines without leaving your seat.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks.

We had lunch/brunch at Lawrence Hall (we sampled from La Palapa and Kazoku) and all were very happy. I cannot speak for the others with me but I really enjoyed my breakfast burrito from La Palapa. Very filling and flavorful. The ordering via app (at counter was an option too)…
A nice, clean, trendy food hall experience. I recommend the happy hour at Dear James bar. Good draft selection with a decent discount & some domestic options for your pleasure. Great, bartender by the way. For the table there are water bars tucked in the corners of the building…
I really enjoy this place. I come here pretty often, the service is always great and the vibes are super fun. It is a cool place to go if you and your group want to try different things. They have four different restaurants to choose from and then you order right on your phone.…
We got a few things from different restaurants. The atmosphere was great. 2 levels of seating with the added bonus of pinball machines. Great bar selection & ALL of the food we got was delicious. Definitely looking forward to going back to try more food options. 💖
