Arriviste Coffee Roasters — Shadyside

We stopped in for a quick cup of joe, and it tasted fine, but it felt a little overpriced for what it was. It was also not easy to park in the area.

I got a cappuccino, which tasted OK, and my wife got a sweetened espresso drink, which tasted a bit better. Compared to another coffee spot we visited later on, though, taste was not as good, but prices were higher.

Always a pleasure going to Arriviste and getting a delicious drink and enjoying the ambiance, atmosphere and Arriviste barista talk! A very knowledgeable staff that is always busy with keeping the line from getting too far out the door. (Pretty hip and trendy vibes here so expect that type of crowd.)

Try the seasonal drinks that they like to do and you won't go wrong!

Arriviste has amazing coffee in an incredibly relaxing atmosphere. The owner and the employees that we have met have been super friendly and are genuinely interested in talking to you and serving a great cup of coffee. Best coffee we've had in Pittsburgh in a sleek yet welcoming space.

No outlets to charge your laptop. Overrated coffee. Snobby baristas. I’ve been given attitude on multiple occasions when asking questions. Have tried to like it but misses the mark. Won’t be going back.

I felt incredibly safe considering the pandemic, they were friendly, the hot chocolate (with a kick) is fantastic. Can't wait to hang out there post-pandemic, but definitely recommend as a place to go for excellent coffee AND they have Gluten-Free items for those like me.

Activists is a very small coffee bar. It had seating for around 10 people. The coffee was really fresh and they have agreements with a local bakery for the pastries they sell which were excellent. A very relaxing place to have a quick breakfast while working on your laptop.

My friend and I gave this place three tries and we won’t go back. Snobby vibe, no outlets, weird hours, indifferent customer service and received judgey look when I asked a question. The coffee is mediocre at best. Several better options within walking distance.

Best place in Pittsburgh. They have great equipment and knowledge base to pull good shots. My last coffee shop lost their best baristas, and Arriviste has a few great ones. They also collaborate with Common Place coffee, which is another great local institution.

One of the very best coffee bars in Pittsburgh! They use a Marco Jet batch brewer and Marco SP9 automated pour over machine. Super friendly barista too.

They’ve got a skilled team of friendly baristas who can make a great cappuccino and latte! Also, check out their herbal iced tea - so tasty! And they also carry Leona’s, the best ice cream sandwiches in Pittsburgh!
