Black Forge Coffee House I - Allentown

Who doesn't love a metal-themed coffee shop? Their aesthetic reminds me of TRVE and Burial Brewing. I wish they had another location down the hill, but it's always a treat to come up to Arlington Avenue to have a $6.66 latte or delicious cold brew coffee from Black Forge. (The photos I posted are from April 2022, before they remodeled)

Love the atmosphere here, and the coffee is to die for. Comfy seating, cool events, makes me wish I lived in the area so I could come every day!

Amazing service: Example… the espresso shot was not up to her standards (I know little about espresso, other than I consume it) … she explained it to me and made it again until she felt it was right… and she was right, it was awesome!
The cinnamon blondie… HEATED UP… was on FIRE!
As a staple of Allentown for years black forge has been a key to bringing so many things, resources and care to the community, and some how they find time to keep making BF better!

I have to be honest.... this place has THE BEST COFFEE IN PITTSBURGH. I also like the atmosphere, the cleanliness and the staff. Even if parking is a very difficult, the service and the coffee are worth the pain.

The new interior and the music is so dope, it's one of my favorite reading spots. Plenty of seating for even such a small location, and the coffee is 11/10. They roast their own coffee and you can buy some to take home! Their seasonal specialty drinks are the best.

Probably my favorite coffee shop in Pittsburgh. Very metal vibes, the speciality drinks are divine. I come here way too often. If you're a cool cat, you should try it out

It was a cool place, I’ve never been a metal cafe! Lots of different recipes made by the really nice lady working the bar! Unfortunately there was something off with the coffee and snacks my friend and I got :(

Had the ThunderHorse, Nick was cool and helpful. Best coffee I have had in a while. Atmosphere was great. Can’t wait to go back.

This is the coziest and most artsy coffee shop I've been to! They have an extensive menu of specialty drinks - there's something for everyone, and they sell bags of quality coffee beans and merch. Every inch of the place is covered in amazing artwork by local artists. I would have loved to come during one of their events or shows. Although I'm not local I'll come back whenever in Pittsburgh again.

One of my favorite coffee houses in Pittsburgh. Good selection of both coffee, and treats. Be sure to try one of their cayenne coffee specialities -- they are uplifting.The Black Forge is located right next to the police station, making it easy to find. I have always managed to find parking near by.
