Adda Coffee & Tea — Shadyside

Without exaggeration, this is one of my most favorite cafes I've been to. They had vegan options which were to die for. Their donuts were amazing, their food was exceptional, especially their Tuscan soup. And of course the coffee is phenomenal. You guys got to go there

I've gotten coffee here three different times: an espresso, a drip, and an Americano. All three times the coffee tasted like battery acid.

Great coffee but unappealing attitude from the company. There are signs everywhere (STILL) yelling at customers to wear a mask and not even take a sip inside. They've got to be the last café in Pittsburgh to open indoor dining. Enough with the political activist signs everywhere too. I'm not going back unless things change. I hope they will.

Edit: STILL no indoor dining as of December 2021. And masks are required.

I like the neighborhood and the fact they carry gf products to go with their awesome coffee

As much as I enjoy the coffee here, the environment is a bit hostile considering that you get jumped on every time you walk in the door without a mask. I do respect them when asked to put a mask on, but as soon as I pull it down to take a sip of my coffee, I am immediately reprimanded to quote on quote, "wear your mask over your nose". This is quite ironic considering the baristas are behind a layer of plexiglass, with two layered masks on and I am 6 feet or more away from other customers. My experience has been like this the past couple times of walking into this coffee shop, while mask mandates have been changed in Pennsylvania to having the option to wear a mask if you are vaccinated. I always said to myself I would never post a review but this last time while in there, I was not pleased. If you have more of a conservative standpoint and have opposing views then what they portray, I would suggest not visiting ADDA coffee shop.

I'm gonna give them an extra star for the quality of the drink (which I haven't tasted yet), but the low rating is because I'm standing here in line alone for a few minutes while one barista works hard and the other....talks to her friend. Then she looks at me and says to the friend "guess I'll go take care of her". Wow. Service to the max! Way to show your customer that they matter. Even if this is the best latte I've ever had I won't be back.

Adda Coffee & Tea House is a nice spot to go and unwind. The staff we're friendly, helpful in suggesting a latte I might like and made me feel welcome. I went using my Pittsburgh Coffee Passport but would not pass an opportunity to go back if I was in the area or looking for something to do.

I loved the coffee! I got a hot honey cinnamon latte and it was amazing! They don’t have indoor seating at the moment. Highly recommend 10/10

Definitely your choice if you are tired of Starbucks and Dunkin. Their espresso is very good and they serve it with water and a small chocolate. The place is relaxing and ideal if you want to work there. It is pretty spacious inside and it has 2 small tables on the sidewalk. Really really pretty.

It’s apparent the staff at Adda Coffee and Tea house enjoy their jobs and the products they carry. The two gentlemen that helped were both honest and knowledgable about the items on the menu. I have only had tea there thus far, however the care the take in making sure it is correctly steeped and served with a pleasant presentation is obvious.

If you haven’t been here already, you’re missing out.
