Allegheny Coffee & Tea Exchange — Restaurant in Pittsburgh

If you love coffee--this is the place to go in the Strip District! You will be greeted by all the lovely smells of the extensive variety of coffees they have from all over the world. You can purchase these lovely fresh beans--just help yourself to a bag and scoop the beans out of the barrel. There are also 3 coffee grinders, if you just want to grind the beans there. The selection again, is incredible...lots of coffees from various parts of South Africa, Latin and South America; flavored coffees as well. Each barrel of coffee is clearly labeled and has detailed descriptions of the coffee--whether it's light roast, medium or dark--plus what flavors to expect. They also have a great assortment of the Torani flavored syrups. Price wise, expect to pay at least $10/lb for coffee; I think $27 was their most expensive price/lb. If you drink decaf, there is a great variety of these as well. Definitely indulge in a fresh cup of coffee/latte/cappuccino...

Heaven for coffee lovers. it’s primarily a coffee shop where you buy coffee beans, and they have a extremely large assortment of coffee from all around the world, which they seem to roast some of them at the property itself. They also sell coffee beverages at the store, and that is why I was there. I went in five minutes before the closing time, and yet there was quite a long queue, which tells me that they are busy throughout the day. Got a large vanilla ice latte for a little less than six dollars, and this is the cheapest vanilla ice latte I have had throughout the city. And it was extremely delicious. Not sure what kind of coffee they use, but it was strong and hit the spot. The syrup was a little bit more on the sweeter side than I like it, but then I did not mind it. Definitely give this place a visit if you want good coffee. Not an actual cafe, so there are no places to sit. Keep that in mind while you’re thinking of...

Visited for the first time a few days ago and had a great experience. The cafe itself is very cool and industrial, and is played out more like a small market with a coffee counter up front. Their huge selection of coffee beans and varieties of teas were a little daunting to a first time visitor like myself, but the staff was very helpful and walked me through their recommendations while also taking my own tastes into account.

I left with a bag of a Mexican roast beans which I can confirm makes a delicious cup of coffee, as I'm sipping my second cup of it this morning as I write this. I also grabbed a cup of their Heart of Darkness nitro cold brew, which I also cannot recommend enough.

Overall my experience at Allegheny Coffee and Tea Exchange was overwhelmingly positive, and I'll definitely be returning when I run through this...
