People say coffee is β.........π€π€ ummmmmmmm heck no. Best place in the burgh to get fresh ground beans from around the world, anyway you like. They also have a large selection of teas and herbs, blended into pretty much any combo you want. The staff are friendly and fast. They also have brewed drinks, hot and cold to go...also quite delicious. Im sure theyre going to know me by name soonπ
I do cold brew coffee and I do iced tea blends, and you really cant beat Presto if youre into either of these things. They roast their coffee in hundred year old roasters...everything turns out a little darker than you would get at a different shop, but it ends up retaining the more nuanced flavors of the beans in spite of this, making for singularly excellent cold brew unlike anything Ive had. The closest to it would be Blue Bottle coffee, and Presto is a lot cheaper and still better.For tea, they have hundreds of options, theyre all good, they blend together well, and the guys in the back can often make you custom flavors and blends if you ask them to and give them a little lead time. Ive made some of the best teas Ive ever had by just heading to Presto, grabbing a few things, and experimenting at home. If Im being really honest, I probably owe Presto for teaching me to love and appreciate tea as much as I loved coffee.On top of all of that, the staff is extremely friendly and accommodating, and the ones who have been there for a minute really know their stuff...Sarah knows more than anyone about coffee and tea, Phil knows a ton about herbal tea, Dre and Jeremy have drank more different kinds of coffee than just about anyone I know and are always experimenting with stuff...the staff has a wealth of knowledge, and theyre happy to talk shop with you on the less busy days.Presto is the best coffee shop in Pittsburgh. There are plenty of other 5 star shops, but someone has to be the best, and its them.
Iβve only had one experience here, but I plan to go back because it was such a wonderful experience. You walk in and are immediately hit with the lovely scents of different teas and as you walk further back coffee filters in, as well. Itβs such a pleasant, quaint store. There are hundreds of teas to choose from, to mix and match, and the employees are VERY friendly - offering advice and tips and suggestions. Canβt wait to come again!
My regular coffee haunt when I get groceries every week. All-star staff, amazing coffee to drink, and amazing selection of tea and coffee if you want to buy some beans or loose leaf. Also really great prices. Love you Prestogeorge!!!
Friendly and helpful staff, amazing coffees and teas! The chai tea latte was lovely to sip while I chose my bags of coffee to take home.
Very helpful staff. Maybe one should be able to sample different kinds of coffee. I bought an expensive blend that turned out to be too mild for me.
One of the best coffee shops I have ever been to! The staff is wonderful, the coffee is one of a kind, and everything was absolutely delicious.I loved every moment here. βοΈβΊοΈ
Ive buying coffee at Prestogeorges for over 25 years, going back to the old location, across the street, when John Prestogeorge was still alive. (Still remembered by his signature blend J. P. Hearty) Good coffee, expertly roasted on site. Good prices for high end coffees and teas. The service is always friendly. I highly recommend.
Their coffee is amazing they have any kind you can think of coffee or tea
Hazelnut latte ask for it half sweet.Best coffee prices and selectionRoasting smells are free
Olivia is great! Shes excellent at cing up with the perfect drinks!
The biscotti is out of this world. The Anise Lemon is my favorite so far. Great cups of coffee here. HUGE SELECTION of BOTH coffee and teas. When you walk in the smell of the coffee is euphoric!
You can mix and match and create your own custom blends. The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable. I donβt think I will ever buy coffee or tea anywhere else!
Wide selection of coffee beans and tea. Great prepared coffee as well.
I love this place, so many delicious fresh roasted coffees to choose from. The staff are super friendly and answer your questions.
Wonderful coffee, best in town. People come to Pittsburgh from all over or order their favorite blend online. My son brought me a some of his favorite coffee from Austin, TX -- but he said JP Hearty from Prestogeorge was the best blend he ever had.
Very cool place! So many teas and coffees to choose from youll wish there was a quiz you could take to figure out which ones youd actually like in the first place. Sure, you can sniff them and you might be able to tell, but the fact is, the taste is different from the smell. They use a 100+ year old coffee roaster to roast all of their beans. Very cool experience and worth the trip to the Strip!
Love this place. Everyone is so helpful. So many flavors of coffee and of tea. They will grind your coffee beans to order.
AMAZING prices, a wide variety, and great tea (and coffee if youre into that). I love when I can stop by and when I am not in town I make sure to order online for my tea needs. They have great customer service and are always happy to help you find what you are looking for or a tea you might like. One of my favorite places to go in Pittsburgh !
Great quality. Knowledgeable staff.
Too many incredible coffees from which to choose.
What a variety of teas and coffees in this place! We bought the Honduras coffee and the Haitian Blue, both ground at the store for our percolator at home. Both coffees are delicious! Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable, and the store doubles as a cafΓ©. I ordered a good old cappuccino, and it really hit the spot. The barista was cool as hell, too! Love this shop.
This is one of my favorite places to get loose leaf tea. They have flavors I have never heard of, so it is fun to try something new. I am not a coffee drinker, but the aromas in this place are awesome,
Amazing and huge selection of loose leaf tea!! Really great smoothies, too.
The best place to get coffee in Pittsburgh! They have a huge assortment of whole bean coffee and loose leaf tea for purchase. My favorites are Yirgacheffe, Sumatra Mandheling and Kona. The smell as you walk in here is so aromatic and robust with the all the varied notes from all the different beans. Itβs olfactory Nirvana! If you donβt a certain coffee, itβs ok, just ask the amazingly friendly and knowledgeable staff for help and theyβll get you something youβre sure to enjoy. Be sure to also try their fresh, roasted peanuts. So good. Cheers!
Great selection, reasonable prices! Love coming here for tea.
Great service, knowledgeable and helpful staff. My go-to for coffee, both roasted and green beans.
Prestogeorge is my top pick for buying the freshest beans in town. The coffee made from their beans is top notch. You cannot ask for a better variety, including their flavored beans and teas. During COVID-19 they have implemented safety policies which help keep everyone healthy. Highly recommend calling ahead to have your order ready when you get there.
My favorite shop in all of Pittsburgh.
Placed an online order to be shipped to my house. With Covid-19 and shipping times I did not expect to see my tea for some time, however it was packed and shipped in an extremely timely manner. I placed an order for three loose, flavored black teas and each bag was sealed and packed properly. No issues or concerns at all. I will most definitely be purchasing more from Prestogeorge. Thank you!
Friendly, fast and very knowledgeable service.
Love this place. Great selection of coffee and tea. They never seem to mind answering any questions Ive had about their coffees. Its a must stop if you go to the strip.
So many coffee and tea options! Helpful staff!
Best coffee in the strip, very inexpensive. Huge selection of fresh roasted coffee and tea for purchase.
Every flavour of coffee and tea you can possibly imagine. Reasonable prices.
My first time in this shop and it smells so good with so many coffee and tea choices. Ill be back.
The friendly knowledgeable staff is second only to the products!
Ordered coffee online on 16 December as part of a Christmas gift. The coffee order was only shipped 22 December and will not be received until 28 December. This is extremely disappointing and is a real inconvenience. I realize the Coronavirus is creating issues, but I purposely purchased a gift of coffee (3 coffee products) locally to support a Pittsburgh Company and now I have to go out and get another gift. If a company cannot fulfill their orders, then they should not accept orders. Eight days should be plenty of time to fill and ship an order so it is received by Christmas.
They have a great selection of coffe and teas. The staff is friendly and helpful.
One of the best coffees I have had in a long time! Great service also!!
Incredible selection of coffees and teas- hundreds of varieties of every grade, type or geographic origin, and possibly more importantly, the staff can expound knowingly and authoritatively on each one and make cogent suggestions based on your preferences or past experience to suggest wonderful and sublime teas and coffees .Rarely have I seen such a marvelous purveyor of coffee and tea. There is one place in Amsterdam that has been in business since the 1600βs that is their only real competition in these categories.Wish I lived closer !
I got an assortment of their teas, coffee, and biscotti online. Shipped fast and intact. Every one I tried so far was good. Looking forward to another order.
A very good selection of tea at amazing prices. We have made several purchases online and the shipments were always very quick. The staff on the phone has always been very helpful when something we want was out of stock. So when we were visiting Pittsburgh, the natural instinct was we have to stop by! Right?Well, the in-person experience was less than impressive. The system made sense, take the jars of tea you want and bring them to the staff to weigh and package. Thats where the problem came in. The weighing countered were packed with jars of tea. Some jars were stashed so high up that we thought it would be wise to ask for assistance, but the man seemed annoyed that we had to ask him to get a glass jar that we couldnt reach. When he asked how much tea I wanted, I had to repeat myself 4 times. I understand that the music might have been loud or masks make understanding each other a little difficult, but the whole interaction was very uncomfortable. Another lady doing the weighing was also impatient. We asked for 4oz of tea, and as she was weighing, she stopped at 3oz. and asked are you sure? This is a lot of tea yes maam it is a lot of tea because we dont normally get to visit, and we have tea-loving family. Also, 4oz is the standard size you sell on your online shop I dont know why you are making such a big deal of it being too much.The cashier did brighten up our visit at the end. She was very friendly and efficient, also patient when my credit card tap wasnt working.Overall, good products, subpar service with the exception of a few. Just use their website, it would probably save you some gas and parking and headache.
Very helpful and knowledgeable staff and a plethora of teas and coffee!! Very decently priced as well.
Best coffee ever! I stopped in the shop once 5 years ago when traveling for work and have been ordering my coffee beans online from them ever since. Website brings me right back to 1999, but it is totally functional.
Love the coffee. Have frequented the store for years and the customer service was always excellent. Have recently started ordering online due to construction in the strip. Have been thrilled with the promptness. I get my order two days after placing it. Customer service at itβs finest.
Love this place and love their coffees and teas! The service is amazing. They are very knowledgeable and informative. Itβs obvious they love what they do. Every time I visit from Florida I go here to get coffee and tea to take home as well as for gifts. While I was there I got the vanilla bean latte which was so good! Must go!
Best and fresh coffee. I love this place
Strong coffee and lots of it
Great service. I go for coffee (JP Hearty is my favorite) but they have a ton of teas too.
Amazing coffee shop!
Great selection and prices. The widest array of choices I have seen in Pittsburgh.
A wide selection of very darkly roasted coffee. Dont bother if you want coffee that isnt a dark roast.
Amazing little shop with so many coffee choices. Fresh roasted and friendly staff
I have been in there for the 3d time as of this morning. Each time I go in, the staff is very polite and helpful. The coffee options are almost endless it seems. The employee Dre, is extremely helpful, and is an excellent employee in the application of customer service! This is my new go to spot for AM coffee.
This place is one of our favorite spots on the strip. Their selection of teas and coffees is vast. We recently started getting into espresso and ordering their espresso roast was our first stop. They are also handling the distancing requirements well.
Just about the best place in Earth. Great info from the staff and dont forget a coldbrew on your way out!
This was a fun store! Gourmet coffees and teas for days! Staff was great, entertaining even. Theres even a cafe where you can get a drink for the road home.
Great selection of teas and coffees, friendly staff and attentive service.
Best coffee in Pittsburgh. Freshly roasted whole beans and probably over 100 different kinds of flavors and locations. They often stock beans straight from small farms in Guatemala, Rwanda, Haiti, and many other locations. The Haitian blue coffee and blueberry cobbler are particularly amazing. The staff is very knowledgeable and makes great suggestions. I cant attest to the tea, but if its anything like the coffee, Im sure its fantastic.
Great selection of coffee and. Very knowledgeable staff
Great staff and the prices are even better!!
Wonderfull coffee. My mother and I used to go there and I would always look around at all the cool things they sold. My mom would love the smell of the coffee. We have never had a complaint. All of the customer service has been wonderfull. The tea is also really nice. Both my mother and I really like it
Always a pleasure to go to Prestogeorge. They have great coffee (freshly ground) as well as loose leaf tea. PLENTY of options. They also have great cups coffee you can get there. I always buy my coffee from Prestogeorge, no other store bought coffee can compare.
This is my new favorite coffee shop, and I hate that I dont live in Pittsburgh to enjoy it daily. All of the employees are so incredibly friendly and the coffee was delicious. The gentleman that helped us was very knowledgeable and gave us suggestions based on what we said we liked. One of the employees even gave lollipops to our toddler! It was a very welcoming environment.
Excellent service and coffee.
The staff are all very personable and knowledgeable about the products they sell. A huge selection of coffee that smells incredible. There were five employees trying to help my Dad find the right coffee that he was looking for. Amazing service!
Today is about my third time going here. The staff is always very nice and helpful. My fiancΓ© ordered a cold tea and I ordered the daily coffee special. I believe it was chocolate almond. Everything was very good and not over $5.
Great place and great coffee! Frequent here often and itβs always a fun experience!
Prestogeorge is a great place to buy your coffee beans, teas, brewed coffee, and a nice variety of snack items, such as chocolate covered pistachios.
Best selection of coffee in Pittsburgh. This is the only place is buy my coffee. Always friendly and helpful. The prices are reasonable and the quality is unmatched.
FABULOUS loose coffee and tea shop!!! Note the exclamation marks. Friendly knowledgeable people. Great service. Tasty coffee bar up front!
Love this coffee and tea shop. Its a little hidden jem in Pittsburgh. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. Love the Asian pear tea from Stash.
Fantastic shop for coffees and teas. Absolutely massive selection of fresh in house roasted coffees and an incredible amount of different types of teas to choose from. Very friendly and informative staff too. Also sells a section of spices and a few delicious dessert items. Very reasonable prices for the high quality of their products . Located in the middle of the Strip District near other shops and restaurants. Highly recommended.
I love Prestogeorge for bulk coffee and tea! A cozy little shop and the staff provides all the help you could need. Try the biscotti!
There are 2 reasons that I love to go to Prestogeorge. One is the great selection of coffee and tea and the other is they have the nicest people on staff.
Awesome little coffee and tea shop. Emphasis on little.Wide range of whole bean coffee to select from. All fresh! Ground selection is great too.They have a little spot for made-to-order beverages which is awesome too.They also have some fun knick knacks to choose from.Little cramped tho
Excellent (and huge) selections of coffee and tea. Staff are very nice and knowledgeable!
The BEST around, not only is the Coffee selection excellent the customer service by far exceeds your everyday specially shop. Keep up the awesome job ya!!!
Intoxicating aromas greet you as you enter this coffee and tea shop. A myriad of teas and coffees to choose from with brewing accessories to purchase as well. I walked toward the back and watched the over 100 year old Roaster machines still turning out perfectly roasted beans. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly quick to assist you in sorting out all the choices. They had more oolong teas than I had seen in a while so bought some to take back to DC with us. If you are on the strip, do yourself a favor and stop by.
Always an excellent experience. Coffees are traditionally excellent, both in taste and aroma. Loose leaf tea also very good. One of my favorite things about the store is that they also sell meats, cheeses, and other unrelated (but delicious!) items - and especially the kielbasa/sausage for Easter - I ALWAYS make a trip down to get a couple pounds. Simply the best in the city.
This place smells amazing. The options will overwhelm you. I bought a half pound each of Leahs Chocolate Ginger Spice and Toasted Almond coffee, which are both really good. I look forward to trying more of their blends and flavors the next time Im in Pittsburgh.
Great roaster and amazing selection of coffees and teas.
This place has awesome coffee and tea. Reliable and friendly staff, good prices.
The choice is like no other place Ive seen. The prices for coffee beans seemed more than fair compared to other coffee roasters, but then again they are doing good volume. Have two roasters on site. Forgot to mention the tea selection is also wide and they even had some genuine matcha tea.
Excellent experience. Lots of selection to choose from for coffees and teas. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Pointed me in the right direction to the most popular products and best sellers. Would definitely go back!
Product selection is awesome as is the service. Anytime we head to The Strip we always stop to get our supply of coffee and tea. Only place I have found chocolate chip tea, yes I said chocolate chip tea, and it is really good. We also get items ordered online and delivered right to the house. Gets delivered very quickly and safely.
Presto George is an iconic Pittsburgh coffee roaster. They roast their own blends and make a staggering variety of flavors and roasts. You can get whole bean or ground coffees, teas, brewing devices, made to order coffee and specially coffee treats, and fresh deli sandwiches as well.
First time at this coffee shop and I am highly unimpressed with the service. I placed my order and the two baristas proceeded to make the beverages for all four people who ordered after me before mine. The espresso in my latte also tastes burnt. I highly recommend La Prima or Espresso A Mano if youβre looking for excellent service and quality drinks.
This is a great place to pick from a large variety of coffee and tea and buy in bulk. The brick and mortar experience was better than buying it online since you can sample some of the offerings before buying a whole pound. You have to pay to park, so it might not be worth a trip just to come here unless you really like coffee.The signage was not easily visible and we nearly walked past it on our way to the shop.The interior is pretty tight quarters and was a little tough to navigate with two small children.
We have used Prestogeorge beans in our cafe/deli for over 2 years. I donβt think you can get better quality coffee beans in all of Pittsburgh. Nice people and a great selection of fresh roasted coffee.
Great variety of coffees and teas. Staff is very helpful and knowledgable. Once you drink their coffees its hard to go back to regular store bought!
Excellent Cuban coffee. Its rich and smooth. My wife loves their assortment of teas.
The smoothest tasting latte I have ever had. A bit on the pricey side, but worth every penny. Oh how I wish one of these was in my neck of the woods.
