Adda Coffee & Tea — Shadyside

Interesting decoration and convenient location. They did, however, have the absolute best matcha latte I have ever had. True matcha flavor without being highly sweetened like the big chains.

Cute, quarky little cafe almost out of place in slow to change Millvale. I enjoyed my chai, but I do admit the price was a tad high for what I got, because it looked like premade liquid chai mix and just some almond milk from Trader Joe's. Still nice though.

Top notch coffee found in this Pittsburgh staple. Engaging and passionate baristas that uphold the highest standard of service! Highly recommend grabbing whatever they currently have on pour over, it won't disappoint.

Staff is always friendly. Drinks are great, syrups made in house, fantastic cold brew, good tea selection. The space is bright and open.

Awesome vibes, awesome hot drinks, including matcha & fruit treas, which are both very good. Definitely a must stop coffee shop if in East liberty/shady side.

Nice little coffee shop. WiFi password as of 3/17/19 is "drinkmorecoffee" but it's extremely slow. Not too many tables, but a row of seats on the side and front, plenty of outlets

Unlike my experience in literally every other boutique coffeeshop I regularly visit in Pittsburgh (e.g., Commonplace, Constellation, Big Dog, La Prima, 21st, Zeke's, Arriviste, Delanie's), I have never connected with the staff at Adda. They always seem indifferent to everything. This is shown anecdotally in that they don't seem to have any regulars at all; at least, noone for whom they seem to make any additional effort.

The coffee itself is a little overpriced for the quality (again, compared to the others, above), but I recognise that (eastern) Shadyside is in dire need of a decent shop and that they are still somewhat new. I hope they improve further, because, while I only live two blocks away, I often find myself getting coffee from elsewhere.

I felt the coffee was completely too overpriced and not made out what it was said to be by word-of-mouth! I also felt that a coffee/tea shop should not serve small dishes! At one point bar Marco the Livermore and adda's coffee and tea was all doing the same pasta dish A gemelli with Arugula pesto! Is there any reasoning for this! NO!

As a visitor to the city, this was a good find. The staff were super friendly and the drinks were great. A Shadyside Sunrise (espresso over pineapple juice) was unusual but delicious. Definitely worth the visit.

Lovely folk working, mediocre coffee, pretty good cookies but Five Points are much better. Parking is rough but there is outdoor seating.
