Allegheny Coffee & Tea Exchange

Cool place, has huge selection of whole bean coffees (and I guess teas too, tea just isn't my jam) the staff is always really nice and I'm always in and out when I'm there.

My only note is that the roast date on the whole bean coffee often isn't great and they don’t put the roasted date on the coffee bag unless you specifically ask (and I think it’s a hallmark of serious coffee roasters to put a “roasted on xx/xx” on the bag.) It's not uncommon for the coffee to be roasted 2 to 4 weeks ago, which doesn't always feel that fresh. Especially if you're paying $55 for Jamican Blue mountain or some other premium coffee. My suggestion would be to roast smaller batches so you can keep it fresher.

We love this place! Great coffee selection and they have fantastic house blends. They also have a fairly modest collection of teas both loose leaf and bagged. Not always easy to park in the strip district but nonetheless we go out of our way for their coffee.

I don't know what to say. I LOVE THIS PLACE. The location is perfect although hard to find parking at times. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful as well. I buy my coffee here to grind at home. I have my go to favorites but I also like to try the dozens of other coffee beans they have here. All fresh and high quality. This place has me spoiled. Even when I go out to breakfast I brew my coffee at home and take it with me to enjoy.

Having stopped in because my usual roaster had a fire, I purchased two flavored coffees and a dark roast. I never thought whole bean fresh roasted could be qualified as “bad” however I can honestly say I have had store brand whole bean that had more body than these. The flavored coffee, the flavor was somewhat there but no matter how many beans I’ve used, this was just weak, nondescript coffee and not worth paying any sort of premium for.

This is my favorite coffee store in Pittsburgh! All of the workers are very friendly and knowledgeable, and the store is so cute. The selection of coffee and tea is huge, and the quality is top notch. I personally love the dark roast Sumatra blend the best. They have a great selection of flavored coffee, but these are not my favorite, so I've never tasted any. They also have a great tea selection, but to me, the coffee is the reason that I go. On a cold winter day, you can't beat the freshly made cappuccinos!

The people at the cafe know what they are doing and make a delicious cup of coffee. I also loved that there was a good selection of sugar free flavor shots (most places have vanilla and maybe caramel!). Their flavored coffee is made of high quality beans and is true to flavor. This is a great place to buy a gift for the coffee or tea fan in your life or to just grab a cup for yourself.

Friendly, awesome staff. Wide variety of coffee to order and purchase to take home. The place also smells amazing inside.

I didn't personally love the drink I ordered, but I think that was because of the syrup flavor and not the drink itself.

Will definitely be back.

Very friendly coffee shop with the best flavored coffees you'll find anywhere. A wide selection of coffee to bring home as well as coffee drinks. Definitely worth a visit.

I will go out of my way for this coffee. It's by far my favorite place for an iced latte (specifically the salted caramel)! The staff is very friendly and typically quite entertaining to watch interact with one another and their customers. A trip to the Strip should always include a visit to Allegheny Coffee & Tea Exchange. You'll know where to find it if you follow your nose, the heavenly smell of coffee permeates into the street!

AMAZING coffee. We order their hazelnut + amaretto coffees now in bulk from out-of-state because they are just that good. It's worth the shipping fees! Truly the best flavored coffee I've ever had.
