Commonplace Coffee — Restaurant in Pittsburgh

Probably my favorite Commonplace in the city! Though I am biased since it's the closest to my apartment.

The coffee is always wonderful here and the breakfast burritos are pretty great too! There is plenty of seating though it can get pretty busy at times. Luckily there is outdoor seating in the little square of Rockwell Park as well, which works to alleviate the strain inside if the weather is nice.
