Nice, clean and well maintained. Less option for bakery or a quick snack but they were fresh. Good seating arrangement if you would like to work for some time. The coffee options are good. I have tried Americano and Cappuccino they were good. The staff were courteous and attentive. They also had some beans, coffee and accessories for sale.

Hands down, the best coffee in the city! This location also has a great vibe if you need a cafe to hangout while you get some work down (standing and sitting desks with usb and power outlets). They also have a few items for a quick bite.

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!

Ive been drinking their espresso since the 90s and it has not changed one bit. They serve the best espresso shots Ive ever had. And I go to every Cafe I have ever seen that I havent been to before. Single handedly my favorite business to frequent.

Great coffee. Delicious flavors. Cool spot. Only bad thing is the inside isn’t open due to Covid.

Wow excellent coffee! Words dont do it justice, you have to see it yourself. Authentic Italian coffee done right, and heres a place where coffee terms are true to their definition, not the individual owners opinion of what it should mean. Love this place. Wonderful atmosphere, stellar service - friendly, respectful, considerate. And the barista works like lightning, I was impressed. I made an order, got to work on my phone to pass the wait, and it seemed like only 2 seconds later that I looked up and the espresso was ready. Fancy, very state of the art machine they have, and the espresso is both happily very strong, my main requirement but this is inconsistent across coffee shops, and surprisingly delicious, which is hard to find for some reason in an espresso. I also ordered a milk whcih was so fresh - another unusual feature at a coffee shop. This is a gem of all gems, the place to go to for original, authentic, truly well made coffee and this is my new favorite place despite it being so far away from home (I live on the east border of PA). Thanks so much!

The coffee is amazing! I was disappointed in the limited selection of food, but understand that’s not the primary goal of a coffee shop.

This new place has a nice vibe to it, the blue colors look naturally good. The coffee is good but not nearly as good as the La Prima in the Strip. But still, worth checking out because it is certainly more spacious than the original location and has good options in coffee.

Located on the bottom of the AC Marriott hotel, you’ll find an updated style of bright wood + crisp blue branding that is strikingly modern yet classic. There are refrigerated snacks + sandwiches from local eateries if you are in need of a quick bite with your coffee. Dont forget to check out their location in the Strip District for a totally different vibe!

Very nice downtown coffee shop with a variety of single origin espresso and coffee options. Outdoor seating and bike racks too.

I really love the staff at this location and the espresso is great. If youre like me and need some extra caffeine, definitely ask for an extra shot because most drinks only come with one. My only critique is that they need to get oat milk in stock!

Central location. Big and modern. Sipping coffee at the table outside is very relaxing. Like the La Prima in the strip district they dont make a good espresso but its the closest thing to it.

-Swanky, upscale atmosphere.-Friendly staff open to conversation.-Delicious hand-crafted beverages that are reasonably-priced.-Fills a coffee desert of sorts in the area around the Heinz History Center.

My new favorite place to go for coffee in the morning! Nice friendly staff, just wish they offered more food options for breakfast.

Lattes and iced coffees I’ve had there are decent, but don’t order food. I made the mistake of buying a $5 breakfast sandwich, and they told me “Sandwiches are in the case, microwave is over there.” Then they ask for a tip on the card reader! $5 plus tip to microwave your own (not very good) sandwich!

Outside seating, nice coffee. I like a medium roast on my espresso, and theirs was great. Modern space.

Staff have been friendly and the location is great. I am a fan of the cold brew coffee. The coffee brewing quality is inconsistent though. People in my office have been saying they can get a better cup of coffee from Starbucks and Two Louies and due to the inconsistency. I have to agree.
