This was our first trip to La Prims Espresso Company in Pittsburgh. We’ve had their brand of coffee at a local coffee shop in Beaver County.
The iced cold brew was amazing, as well as the caramel latte! If your downtown near the Strip District, be sure to stop by and check them out!

This coffee shop is bright, friendly and a must visit. It's on the quiet side of the convention center, so if you are looking to get away from the noise and craziness this is it! Coffee is great as well!

I love coffee and I love supporting local businesses. I had my first taste of La Prima coffee and I was not disappointed. I don’t typically drink cold brew coffee but the sample of Paulie’s blend that the barista let me try was fantastic. I bought a bag of beans later that day after stopping by the Gate’s location. Everyone I interacted with was helpful and friendly. La Prima will definitely be my go to for coffee beans in the future or a quick cup in my busy work day. Bonus for these being union shops!

Good ambiance; clean. Seltzer water is also offered (complimentary). Wish there were prices were listed on the menu! Espresso was mild. Latte was bland and had no latte art.

This coffee ship was right outside the parking garage. Perfect placement, and great atmosphere. Service was tops for a coffee shop. Just ticks all the boxes with great coffee. I did not eat here.

Fantastic espresso beverages! The employees were very friendly and quick - clean and bright atmosphere. There is indoor and outdoor seating, plenty for large parties. They also have pastries available for purchase!

I've been going to this cafe every morning during my pittsburgh visit. Coffee is really good and the pastries are great! Best almond croissant I've ever had! I bought two bags of coffee beans to bring back home and the staff were so nice with recommendations and letting me try out the blends.

Possibly the only place downtown where the baristas actually know how to make a good cappuccino. Their breakfast sandwiches are delicious any time of day!

LaPrima Coffees are simply one of the Best fresh toasted brands you can buy. Located in the strip district of Pittsburgh, PA. I really like the organic decaf. If your visiting Pittsburgh, I highly recommend visiting.
