512 Coffee and Ice Cream — Restaurant in Latrobe

This coffee shop, let me tell ya, they don't just serve coffee; they serve liquid magic. I once saw a guy get hit by a car out in front of 512 while I was working on the patio. Mike, the owner spared no time at all. With a twist of a few knobs and a flick of a switch, Mike had awakened his espresso machine. Soon the piping hot black elixir filled the glass. Mike poured it into a cup and layered hot steamed cream on top; expertly finishing it with a picture of a heart. Mike calmly walked out the door and into the street towards the chaotic crowd that had formed around the lifeless man. The crowd parted, Mike knelt down, gently scooped the man's head up and placed the cup of latte to his lips. The hot aroma wafted up the dead man's nose, kick starting his senses. His tongue parted his lips allowing the hot elixir of life to flow into his mouth. Life once again filled the man's body; his eyes opened and looked up into Mike's. The man squeezed Mike thanking him for saving his life. Mike helped him to his feet, handed the man the latte and said "this ones on the house" then he just walked back into the store and continued...

This is my favorite coffee shop in the Latrobe area! The owner Mike is so personable and friendly and knows his returning customers by name. The other employees are always nice as well and they all acknowledge and greet you right when you walk through the door.

The location is convenient, right in the heart of Latrobe. There is free on-street parking.

They also host events here so if you need a space to do a book club or other meeting they will block off their back room for you and you can even order a special charcuterie board for the occasion. Coming here weekly with college friends for weekly philosophy or political science reading groups is always a highlight of my week during the academic year!

I recommend this place for anyone who needs to cool down in summer with a bowl of ice cream or a glass of cold brew, or who needs to warm up in the winter with a hot chocolate or hot coffee! I recommend the avocado toast, red cardigan, and flavored iced...

I've camped up by keystone lake all of my life. Drive through latrobe, all of my life. A few weekends ago, my girlfriend and I where just driving around just for fun on a Saturday like.we normally do. Going down the street she spotted the build and said. Oh hey, babe look. There is a really cute coffee shop. So we went back around the block, found a spot and stopped on in. At first site we looked loved it. As we walked up the steps and went into the door It has a warm welcoming feeling. Very old school. Alot of history and just a great place to go. We have only been there twice but my God we will be there MANY MANY times more. They don't just serve coffee or tasty goodies, they serve happiness . No matter the mood you walk in there with. You will walk out with a smile, ...
