Black Forge Coffee House I - Allentown

Great drip coffee. Though I haven't had any of their specialty drinks, I've heard they're excellent. They have great pastries and light lunch options. Really great staff who have created a great space to relax, do some work, or see a show.

I ended up buying a latte and two half pound bags of ground coffee, all of which have been fantastic. The staff was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The atmosphere was very black metal but also very clean and pro small business. The whole experience was great and I will definitely be going back.

Long term customer. All of the staff are very warm and friendly. Drinks are amazing and the art they always have for sale is great. Favorite coffee shop.

A fantastic enlightening small business and coffee house, my favorite coffee house. Owned and staffed by phenomenal people. Fabulous beverages that will definitely have you taking a break from Starbucks, delicious locally made baked goods and snacks as well! Many fun live entertainment shows, from bands, to comedians, to radio shows and discussion groups. Decor is provided by local artists showing and selling their truly exceptional pieces. It's a place you definitely want to try and will then frequent!

When you walk through the door, don’t let the heavy metal music & demonic decor scare you away. Their lattes are absolutely delicious, & the people serving them have always been welcoming. I will suggest getting the oatmeal cream pie when you visit. Amazing. I have nothing bad to say about this spot. I look forward to going back every time.

We live 5 hours away and are here visiting family. My wife was more excited to come back and get coffee at Black Forge, then she was about the time off from work that she has while we're in Pittsburgh.

The unique specialty drinks have all been great, but the regular coffee isn't lacking either.

The cold vanilla latte is better than Starbucks I swear the vanilla caramel hit latte is so delicious!!!!!!!!! 💞☕🏚️ 😋 Try it out it's got the best baked goods ever!!! They are awesome!!! Live entertainment as well it's really cool there!! I'm definitely going back been there 3 times!!!

Excellent coffee and pastries in a really cool setting. The ambiance is great, and they often host different restaurants/caterers for brunch events as well as bands and other performers in the evenings. Absolutely my favorite coffee shop in Pittsburgh!

(And it must sadly be said, there are a bunch of fake 1-star reviews from conservative out-of-towners who are mad at the frequent customer punch cards. Ignore them, they're easy to spot.)

Absolutely love the dark atmosphere here. Great comfortable venue I dig the music in the art on the wall. Customer service was spot on as well

I love their roasts and the decor and music. I'm not a huge metal fan but for some reason they s place makes it sort of appealing. Theme aside, the roasts are definitely always worth stopping in when I'm in the neighborhood.
