Needle & Bean — Restaurant in Mt. Lebanon

Needle & Bean is such a cool spot! It’s the perfect mix of a cozy coffee shop and a vinyl record store, right in Mt. Lebanon. The vibe is super chill and modern—clean lines, warm wood accents, and just the right amount of minimalist charm. It’s a great place to relax or get some work done.

The coffee? Amazing. They’ve got everything from lattes to drip coffee, and the pastries from Potomac Bakery are a nice bonus. But what really sets this place apart is the record selection. It’s all about independent labels and genres like jazz, punk, alternative, and classic rock. It feels like every record on the shelves was picked with care.

The owner, Mike, clearly put a lot of thought into making this a space where people can come together to enjoy great coffee and discover new music. If you’re in the area, you’ve got to check it out. It’s quickly become one of my favorite places to hang out. Five stars...

Needle and Bean is an absolute gem in Mt. Lebo.

I've been patronizing their shop for the past 6 months or so, and am hard pressed to find a record shop with such a great selection of indie and alternative artists. In several instances Mike has been able to find records for me that I've been looking for quite some time. This service paired with a damn fine cup of coffee makes Needle and Bean a record store that is unparalleled in the South Hills, and even beyond.

The staff is nothing but friendly and they are cultivating an amazing venue for local artist to preform with their Saturday night shows. As someone who has preformed there before, I've never encountered such an engaged and attentive audience which clearly is there to see and support...

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...
