Gasoline Street Coffee Company.

Gasoline Street Coffee is close to where I work, so I visit fairly regularly, especially when I need an afternoon pick-me-up. The decor is a cool mix of vintage filling-station and local art, the staff is friendly, and the coffee is always on-point. They also sell good breakfast sandwiches through the lunch hour, as well as Southside pretzels and a nice little selection of tasty pastries from 350 Bakery. Outdoor seating when the weather is nice. Definitely a great place to stop in and relax.

A hidden gem. This coffee shop, while tucked away, has a great vibe and top notch drinks. So glad a friend took me here.

I’m generally a Starbucks loyalist, but since I work nearby at the Municipal Courts Building I decided to give this place a whirl yesterday. I ordered a shot of espresso and bought a blueberry muffin and oatmeal cream whoopie pie.

The espresso was unique. It didn’t give me the immediate kick I get from Starbucks, but I definitely felt refreshed and rejuvenated a few hours later. The pastries?! Divine! Fresh. Moist. Amazing!

I saw they do breakfast sandwiches up until 2 PM and was disappointed I missed out because I got there at 3. Maybe next time!

UPDATE:

I have now become a regular at Gasoline Street. I LOVE their loyalty punch cards. Their mochas (iced or hot) really hit the spot for me, and their sandwiches?! Scrumptious (pro tip: ask for it to be made on a pretzel bun!) The staff is great, too! They do offer a discount for city (and maybe other?) workers, but I generally don’t ask for or mention discounts at mom-and-pop businesses.

Another passport destination, and this has been our best visit of all!!

Let's start with the barista: he was so friendly, very chill, kind. Just the kinda good natured person that strikes you the right way from "hello".

Space: very cool! Thematic. Neat spot. Loved it.

Coffee: The Havanna Highway!!!!! If it's on the menu, try it. The barista said it was his favorite and there's no question why.

We will be happy to return :)

Gasoline street was a hidden gem we found on First Ave n we loved it . Not just great coffee but the space has a real "New York vibe." We had a great breakfast sandwich n then hung around just to listen to the wonderful music. It is now on our list of the best coffee in Pittsburgh. We are from NY City n not easy to please finally service perfect.

I've only been in Pittsburgh for an hour, and i already found my favorite coffee shop. GSC is awesome. Great coffees, friendly staff, cool atmosphere, a giant garage door that opens for light and air, and a nice little patio.

Good pretzels too.

This is a very nice place! Good coffee and also signature beverages. Except it seems they didn't have a recycling can out for the plastic cups and they didn't have "for here" cup for cold beverages. Not a big deal but would be nice if they considered implementing some more sustainable practices! Will be back with my own cup tho!

I never realized this coffee stop was right off the trail! Now I have a mid-ride stop for cycling around town, and a rendezvous for starting on the GAP Trail towards Cumberland MD.

A variety of seating options to relax solo, or meet with friends or for business, this place is how I image a coffee shop should be. The staff was super friendly, and not hyped up on coffee, two pluses.

Love this place! They are really friendly. One morning I walked in before they opened up and the guy informed me they were technically closed but he had just made drip coffee if I wasn't picky. I feel like that says a lot about how great they are. Willing to help me out even though they weren't really open yet. Thanks guys!

hidden gem of coffee shop along the bike trail near PNC first side and golden triangle bikes, BEST desserts too! Super friendly people here, clean, comfortable seating, super cool art. Great place to meet friends or a date!
