If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve probably seen a lot of pictures of coffee. I’m definitely a caffeine addict – I have been since college! – and love checking out coffee shops in the area. I go to Starbucks a lot, because their mobile ordering is so convenient and I’ve perfected my order. But there are other local coffee shops I like to check out, too!

One of my favorite local places is Coffee Tree Roasters. It’s a family-owned restaurant, and it really feels like it. The baristas are friendly and welcoming, the menu is great and changes based on the season, and it’s the perfect place to hang out and chat with friends, or get some work done.

I also really love that they’ve recently begun partnering with Community Kitchen Pittsburgh to get their food. Community Kitchen provides culinary job training and support to people who might otherwise have barriers to employment, and they also provide food for after-school programs and community events. I think it’s great when two local organizations team up and work together!

If you’re in Pittsburgh looking for a great cup of coffee, check out Coffee Tree Roasters. They have locations all throughout the city!
