Nicholas Coffee & Tea Co.

In Pittsburgh last weekend for a wedding and stopped in here. Purchased a couple varieties coffee. They were very helpful and the coffee was great. My wife also purchased some tea, which too was great.

customer service wasn’t that good, not very welcoming. on tap coffee selection was very limited and it wasn’t good at all. There is better coffee right around the corner but i figured i stop and try this place out. great location and store though. didn’t try the grounds themselves just the on tap coffees

Welcome back. We walked into the shop today to buy coffee for the first time since the recent fire. We bought coffee beans and a couple of cups of coffee. Whoever made the coffee did not put the lid on my daughter coffee properly. She lifted the coffee and her hand was SCALDED. The guy behind the counter didn’t blink except to ask if she needed the coffee topped off. It was obvious to all of us she had a bad burn . There was no apology/ offer of ice or a cold rag. The staff watched as we try to offer comfort and help to my daughter. After all your business has been thru, might I suggest the following. Own up to it and offer to help. This is your business and it reflects poorly.

We arrived on a Saturday afternoon around 3pm. I had a large Guatemalan drip coffee. The flavor was not fresh, more like a mixture of wet dog and moldy grass. Aka, old and rancid. Dare I say that the roast was not recent or more likely the coffee sat in a dirty pot for hours before it was poured for us. None of their roasters were in operation in the back room. The aroma walking in reeked of artificial berry flavors, not freshly roasted coffee. If you go here, get an espresso blended drink.

Busy day at Nicholas Coffee & Tea today and I know why. They have the best coffee there is. Picked up a lb of the Toasted Almond Creme & a lb of Graham Cracker to gift.

Great place with a long history and tasty beans at a fair price. I've come to trust their recommendations. And they have punch cards for free coffee. I'm a sucker for the simple things.

Love this coffee but the girl that ground the beans was the rudest person I’ve ever encountered. Hostile for no reason. Slammed the beans on the counter. Couldn’t wait to get out of there!! What a shame since the coffee flavors are great.

What a large selection of flavored, regular, and decaf coffee! Not to mention the tea. I like getting the small pre-packaged bags of ground flavored coffee to sample or gift. I think the smallest increment you can buy loose beans is a half pound. When it comes to tea I think they will let you do quarter pounds.

You can ask for a tea list when trying to decide or getting a whif from the container is also helpful. When I went there were discounted candy bars under the counter. It would take a long time to try all of the coffee flavors here. But I remember loving the creme brulee. I went around lunch time and it wasn't super busy here. But with all these options sitting behind the counter I imagine it could get a little crazy at times

Excellent selection of coffees and teas. This is the first time since moving to this city that I've seen a variety as wide as theirs. And the cashier that helped me was extremely knowledgable and honest about teas she hadn't tried. After today, I will now become a regular!

Excellent selection of fresh roasted coffee. Runs regular specials and lots of organic and free trade offerings. Was excited to visit Pgh again to get stocked up from Nicholas but bummed to see that it looks like they are closed for renovations! Ill check back next time I'm in town
