Big Dog Coffee

Big Dog is one of our go to spots for post-run coffees! Those caramel and seasonal lattes are just perfect. The owner is incredibly kind, and the whole vibe with the eclectic decor and artwork is my kind of cozy. Bonus points for letting in cute dogs to pet! Whenever I've got the time, sipping my latte from a mug and soaking in the atmosphere is my little treat. Highly recommend for anyone who loves good coffee and a welcoming vibe.

Cozy spot for a decent cup of coffee. I was really impressed with the comfort and the seating. It was a perfect spot to have a good conversation with a friend. The yogurt bar was also a nice plus. Although rather expensive, $8 for a yogurt bowl, you could pick any toppings you want, and all toppings were fresh. If I lived in the area, I would likely frequent more often, most likely do work there with the comfort and the ample space.

Came here with a small group of cyclists after a ride. The atmosphere was cozy and quaint. The coffee is served in huge cups and was rich and tasty. I had the pumpkin bread that was moist and delicious. A few people relaxing with their coffees and college students in the back quietly working on their laptops. I like to see very old Pittsburgh buildings and row houses repurposed into useful, productive, pretty neat places. Parking can be challenging as it's on a street requiring permits but one can park elsewhere free and take a little stroll to get there, or cycle to it. It's just a few blocks from REI and Hofbrauhaus, so stop by if you're in the hood.

I first started coming here almost 10 years ago when I was a college student in Pittsburgh and it's still the yard stick to which I measure coffee shops. I just visited the city and I'm so glad to see it still going! The coffee here is why I have a good taste for coffee, the food is great, the seats are cozy, and the wood-burning fireplace is the best place to sit during a cold winter's day in Pittsburgh.

Are you in search of a welcoming establishment for the enjoyment of exquisite espresso? If so, Big Dog Coffee is the ideal choice. They employ a 58mm portafilter to guarantee the quality of your espresso. I had the pleasure of sampling their croissant, which proved to be not only warm and delightful but also a culinary masterpiece. When I return to Pittsburgh, I shall most certainly make it a point to revisit Big Dog Coffee.

This has to be one of the most consistent shops in Pittsburgh when it comes to espresso drinks. I’ve been visiting Big Dog for years now and it’s always a great experience with tasty espresso. Outdoor seating is one of my favorites along with the gas-lit fireplace in the fall/winter. One of the coziest shops on the South Side.
