California Coffee Bar

I can't believe I haven't left this review sooner! California Coffee Bar is my absolute favorite coffee spot in Pittsburgh. When I lived on California Ave, I came in nearly every week day for a coffee and breakfast sandwich. Now my visits are less frequent but I still will go out of my way for their Western sandwich and a latte.All of the baristas are lovely and I've never had to wait long to order or receive my order. They also have order ahead on their website and delivery through Grubhub and other services. There's lots of seating available and I like getting some work done in the cozy seating area at the back of the cafe.Very highly recommend!

California Coffee Bar was a great place for a work date with a colleague. We met in the morning for breakfast, worked until lunch, and then worked some more until close at 3 o'clock. We agreed the acai powerbowl was an uplifting way to begin the day, and my Chai tea latte tasted so comforting. We happened to both choose the turkey Asiago bagel sandwich, which has plenty of meat and a really delicious sauce. Afternoon snack was a small hot chocolate with whipped cream for me and more coffee for her. There's free wifi, tables and couches, and wall plugs, plus music and fun art on the walls. The staff were very friendly and can help you pick something off the extensive menu. Don't omit to check out the small gift shop behind the central kitchen island!

Cleveland bois on our way back home, hungry, thirty, hungover and lost we stumbled upon this jewel of a place. The salted caramel latte was to die for! Not to mention the Turkey Asiago bagel was the perfect parts tart and cheesy. The workers at this shop put their soul into this breakfast of champions, so thank you California Coffee shop, we see you all the way from the West Side of Cleveland! And if noone else says it to you guys, you earned a 10/10 much !

A charming local coffee shop located on California Avenue in Brighton Heights.  A coffee shop with neighborhood feels and a well-designed interior with plenty of tables if you are interested in eating in.  Show up and order or order online and pick up at their shop!  Delivery options are also available.  The coffee is so good- their baristas can whip up incredible creations, but their hot coffee is also really amazing.  They have coffee, teas, milkshakes, hot coco, lemonade, Italian sodas, smoothies, bowls and sandwiches.  Highly recommend their Western sandwich or build your own- pick your bread, toppings and spread.  They get busy, especially on weekends but they have a great staff that has the system down, everyone is very nice and friendly.  Will definitely be adding this to my reoccurring coffee shop list.

Stopped here on a Saturday morning before doing some shopping in McCandless. This place has a charming neighborhood feel with a well designed interior that includes plenty of tables if you're interested in getting some work done while enjoying your drink and pastries. I ordered a latte and a breakfast bagel, both of which were excellent. I especially appreciated the loft seating area which provides a nice view of the cafe area below. it is so interesting to watch the baristas perform their craft, whipping up a wide variety of drinks and snacks. Definitely recommend if you are in the area and looking for a solid independent coffee shop.

So glad I found California Coffee Bar. It was so easy to get to and to park. I got a cold brew with oat milk-done perfectly! Got a turkey sandwich too. Really very tasty and unique! They have smoothies and food and such a comfortable atmosphere. I think I could take a nap there!The folks there are also very nice, patient and helpful.You must give it a try!

A fantastic spot with the nicest staff. Coffee is great, excellent smoothie choices and we love all the sandwiches! In addition to all that there are some solid healthy options with really good fresh fruit and yogurt. Can't speak highly enough, this is the kind of place you want a block from your house, in our case it is. A wonderful addition to our neighborhood!

On street parking is limited right in front. However it's a cute area if you find parking nearby.The coffee bar is busy serving coffee and breakfast/lunch. A great selection of power bowls and sandwiches.The indoor seating has cushions in the window and several tables. A great place to meet up with friends.

Visited California Coffee Bar for the first time and wow! This is one of the cutest local coffee & breakfast places.They had a great menu, fast & friendly service, and a ton of seating. Our food was delicious! I regret not trying one of their smoothies. We will certainly be returning to this hidden gem!

This is a great coffee shop. Food and drinks are very reasonably priced and the space is very large with ample room for larger groups. The staff is extremely friendly, also. I recommend the blueberry latte. The bagels could use some improvement here. But overall the food is a great bargain! They could scrap 1-2 of the front tables and establish formal space for standing in line to order and waiting for food to make the experience a little smoother. I was dodging folks left and right while waiting for my food.
