Delanie’s Coffee

A nice find in Southside. Some of the non-​coffee drinks run on the sweet side but they brew Toby’s coffee and the regular kind is good. I had the matcha latte but it was too sweet for me. They have a nice upstairs and it’s a good place to catch up with friends, do some work, or read a book. Very chill atmosphere & free wifi (:

This is my new favorite place! They have my two favorite things … Fresh great coffee and juice. It is a great place to relax or get your creative juices flowing. I love that they fully support other local businesses and the artwork they have on display is numbered by artist/​name and for sale! Great atmosphere and the people who work there are always very friendly and helpful!

Really cute! Would have loved to spend a little more time there while in town. I tried the alone Fog: Earl Grey, steamed milk and water. It was really good and perfect for the chilly day it was. The barista was really nice and gave us some great restaurant recommendations!

Nice cozy place to chat with friends or work. I got the peach latte and it smelled and tasted great. Friendly staff :)

Only went there once. Had pomegranate tea. Seemed a little weak but atmosphere was cool. Had a decent selection.

I’ll be honest, I’ve been here a few times each year during a business trip for something small and sweet as I walked by.
In those years I have had some wonderful, sweet items. Some so good I’ve made a second stop as I walked Carson St. going some place else, just to get more.
I haven’t tried the coffee here since it raises my blood pressure but let me tell you, they look so good. I think I gain a pound watching someone else get their coffee last year. It was so tempting.
This year I stopped in after a nice steak dinner wanting something sweet and sort of healthy. Or at least not entirely bad for me. I saw these lovely Oatmeal cookies with sweet crème in the middle. I took it back to the hotel and I was ready to enjoy it in a few bites with some milk. I was very disappointed to find it had coffee in it. So much it over powered the crème and cookie. Which was a big bummer. I was even more displeased to think the sales person neglected to mention it. It’s the first time it’s happened and it will remind me to ask next time.
Don’t let this mishap keep you from enjoying a coffee and sweets. Everything here is fresh and made very well. Some are almost to decadent to eat but I would still eat them if I were you. Just ask if it has coffee in it.
There is also some fantastic art on the walls to view and buy if your so inclined. Unfortunately none of the art is mine.

Delanie’s is hands-​down the best coffee in the Southside. The turtle latte is soooo good, very sweet. Their chocolate chip cookies are just OK, but they make up for it with these oatmeal cream pie cookies. Mmm. The employees are super nice, and I’ve never had to wait long for a drink.

About the best south side coffee. If it isn’t busy, get a pour over. Well worth the wait. Great staff, great product.

Decent coffee and delicious juices! Great coffee house, neighborhood environment! The reason that I will always be a patron… As I was enjoying my juice I noticed that the owner/​manager bought a warm sandwich and water to a homeless man sitting outside. Good people!

Very good decaf caramel latte! Creaive atmosphere and a friendly smily barista :-)
The only thing-​i didn’t like the music — not my style

Hands down the best coffee place in the south side. I really wanted to find a locally owned coffee spot but it was so hard to find someone who has a better white mocha than Starbucks. All of the workers are nice and have started to remember my order, which makes it a super plus! I love the local art hanging on the walls for sale and not to mention the fresh pressed juices !!!

Love the décor and the friendly, attentive staff! I’m from California and recently moved to Greensburg, PA. Had to drive a hour out to find a big city (Pittsburgh) but worth every minute of the drive! The staff here immediately greeted me and answered all my questions about the drinks on the menu. My iced soy latte was great. The beans were roasted wonderfully and the drink turned out very smooth. I would definitely come here again and try some of their other menu items — they had some yummy looking pastries in their display case!

Came here to get some work done with a friend and ordered a breakfast sandwich and a latte. Both were just average. The staff was also pretty cold and unfriendly when we were looking for the daily menu. They saw that we were looking around confused and didn’t offer to help, until we asked. Apparently they didn’t have the menus on hand, and one of them rushed out to print them. No apology at all.
On the bright side, the upstairs seating area was really quiet and had plenty seating, making it a great place to do work. I wouldn’t come back for great coffee or food, but maybe for the conducive environment for work.

Great coffee, pastry, juice.
Good for people watching.
Good for meetings.
Fresh ingredients.

The place looked awesome! I ordered the turkey club which ended up being a very sad sandwich (see photo). It definitely was not what I was expecting based off of the other photos uploaded here. I didn’t get any avocado, and instead of bacon it was just sliced ham. Kinda bummed, mostly because the photos here on Unilocal I saw of the sandwiches looked amazing. I guess it depends on who makes it.
The cold brew was pretty decent though.

Cute and modern café. Reminds me of the coffee shops in Williamsburg except not as pricy and 30% less crowd. There’s a nice loft where you can get more seating.
The drinks are always well made and the baristas are always open to listening and making suggestions. The food options are swell as well! It can get a bit hot during the summer since they keep the storefront window open but usually it’s very nice atmosphere and the artwork on the walls are so refreshing! They really gather a great collection of talent! I stop by often for a drink just to see what new art is around!
I can never underrate a local shop that supports artists!
Free wifi, great drinks, nice vibe and beautiful art. What more is there to want?
Maybe an AC but hey I understand. Electricity isn’t cheap.

This place has my favorite iced coffee in Pittsburgh. The space is cute– the store front opens in warm weather and there is an upstairs loft-​like seating area with more tables (extra outlets!) and sofas. There is free wifi and local art. They carry assorted pastries, including those from Glutenny. I also saw fresh squeezed OJ. I haven’t tried the breakfast sandwiches yet, but I can see that they are popular.
The atmosphere is fine, though the few times I’ve been there, the music has been on pretty loudly (like I feel the beats going through my body). It was 90 degrees out the other day, and the store front was open and the store had fans, but the back of my legs were sweaty. Also, if you sit there long enough, you will smell like breakfast sandwiches, which may be a plus or minus.

I stopped in with CM on Tues. for some beverages and conversation. We originally came by at 7:30pm hoping to try one of the breakfast sandwiches, since CM was hungry and I’d read good things about them from other reviews. The barista apologetically informed us that they turn off the oven at 7pm (apparently, it takes a long time to cool down), and suggested Carson St. Deli a couple blocks down as an alternative. We followed his advice, and then returned at around 8 to have the drinks we’d originally been planning on getting at Delanie’s.
Since I hadn’t had dessert, I had to try the turtle latte ($ 4.50). Rather than being a true latte, this drink is a milkshake-​like drink with chocolate and caramel syrups, as well as real peanut butter, smoothie powder, and some espresso. It’s served cold, rather than hot, which the barista explained is because the peanut butter won’t incorporate into the drink otherwise. Although the drink involves sweet ingredients, it isn’t overly sugary due to the espresso and lack of ice cream – it’s what you might call a well-​balanced dessert-​y drink. In terms of consistency, it’s thicker than a frozen coffee, but not as thick as a milkshake. If you’re looking for a milkshake alternative, or something like an iced coffee but sweeter, I’d highly recommend trying it!
Rather than going with his preferred coffee shop drink, a café au lait, CM decided to break the mold and try an espresso con panna ($ 1.50). This is a standard espresso shot topped with fresh whipped cream (not the commercial stuff from a can). CM was quite pleased with this drink. Even though I normally shy away from straight espresso shots due to their bitterness, which I’m sensitive to, I tried a sip, and was favorably impressed. The whipped cream helped cut the espresso, giving it a pleasant fluffy texture as well as a nice flavor balance, making for a unique drink.
Service from the barista was incredibly friendly and helpful (thanks for recommending the deli!), and quite efficient as well. The ambiance is very appropriate for a coffee shop, with art from local artists hanging on walls of exposed brick. We sat up in the upstairs loft, which provided a great view, but also felt self-​contained and cozy. Overall, we were very pleased with our experience at Delanie’s, despite the unavailability of the breakfast sandwiches which we’d hoped to try (we’ll have to return another time to try them!) In my view, Delanie’s is definitely the best establishment of AMPD Group, which also owns several restaurants and bars around town, including Local Bar + Kitchen, Ten Penny, and Steel Cactus. If you happen to be on the South Side, check it out – you won’t be disappointed! 4.5 stars.

I worked remotely from here one morning and thoroughly enjoyed it. They have a pretty good selection of breakfast sandwiches/​brunch type sandwiches for a coffee shop in addition to the typical bagels, muffins, and yogurt. I opted for a brunch type turkey sandwich which was very filling and generous. I almost couldn’t finish it so it’s a great value for only ~$ 7. The coffee had a good flavor also. It wasn’t too sweet which was great for me. The coffee was smooth and delicious.
I love, love, love the upstairs loft. The upstairs is quiet and away from the noisy streets, but you can still enjoy the view and people watch. Music choice is really soothing — was a very 90s rock when I visited. They have great artworks by local artists for view and for sale.
Delaine’s has a great, mellow vibe. Food and coffee are both enjoyable. It’s a great place to study, read, or hang out.

This was my favorite coffee shop in Pittsburgh! Not only are their lattes creamy, rich, & delicious, it’s a great place to study/​read. Super hipster, and great little upstairs area that overlooks the entire place with the ideal lighting and ambiance.
They also have fresh juices, fruit cups, and other random treats. I used to spend a lot of time here studying. When it’s warm out, they open the windows and its even more awesome enjoying a book, the outdoors, and a perfectly brewed caffeinated beverage.
And…wait for it… it’s better than Starbucks.
Also if you get an Amp’d rewards card, you get a free drink on your birthday along with other perks if you remember to bring it and swipe it with your purchases (I always forgot).
