Tazza D'Oro — Restaurant in Pittsburgh

I don't have any reason to go out to Highland Park. No, that's a lie. I have two reasons to go out to Highland Park. I ride my bike around the reservoir, and I go to this coffee shop. I don't even need the park to draw me out. A latte from Tazza D'oro is enough to lure me. I'm no coffee connoisseur, but holy guacamole, they make the best latte I've ever had. Almost certainly the best latte in Pittsburgh. It's creamy, hot, and balanced. And honestly, if it isn't the best, it looks the best. Look at those pictures! Come on! Tell me you don't want to drink that. It has a cozy atmosphere that a lot of coffee shops attempt to achieve but ultimately fail. There isn't a weird blanket of silence imposed by people with laptops. You can actually talk to people in this coffee shop and meet them. You could also be absorbed in your laptop if you want, but it's nice to have an alternative available along with...

Probably because prior experience in a similar coffee shop, but this place was spectacular. The coffee arrived immediately, the shop being full. The food took a little longer but it was to be expected due to the amount of people at the shop and the Coffee Shop setting (restaurant like). However, it was in my table in less than 10 minutes.

The other drinks were served in a very stylish cup and were as delicious as the coffee. They use a local coffee that I had never tried, GUSTOS, but it's delicious.

Our waitress, Carina, was very attentive and came to our table very often to check on us and meet all our requests. She explained were the coffee came from and explained our choices and made recommendations.

The food was delicious as well, in good portions, and decently presented.

Prices were at par with the service...

Currently outside this cafe there is a sign that says "(possibly) the gayest cafe in Pittsburgh" and I was really tempted to burst through the door and misquote Will Ferrel's Elf and say "You did it! World's gayest Cafe!" But obviously that wouldn't be appropriate. However, this cafe really is a beacon of hope for businesses to support Pride and LGBTQ+ communities. With all the big corporations waving their pride flags for a month, Taza does so yearly and within the month of June makes noticeable local impacts for our community. Not only do they don the rainbow colors but they support artists host events and offer support. Great coffee and great people.

P.s. I highly recommend the hand pies in the fridge, the crust is a national treasure. I truly believe Gordan Ramsey would have nice things to...
