I was walking this neighborhood with my son after a visit to a museum and decided to pop in for a drink and a snack. This is a cute little coffee shop surrounded by other businesses so it makes for a nice pit stop when you're already out. I'm an iced mocha girlie so I didn't really check the menu out thoroughly, but they did have the standard fare plus some fun things like Italian sodas and I think ice cream. The iced mocha was delicious, the staff was friendly. The bathroom is down stairs, down a kinda creepy hall. My son said it has "backrooms vibes" which I guess is a good thing? I can see myself coming back next time I'm in town!

Any time I cross the rivers and venture near Shadyside, I try to make a trip to Jitters Cafe. I love this little coffee shop so much - and I do mean little; space in Jitters is very limited. The counter itself is small, there are only a handful of tables, and there isn't really a good spot to stand out of the way to wait for your drink. I inevitably get asked if I'm in line when I'm actually waiting for my order.Navigating the small shop is very worth it though, because they make some of the best drinks I know off. I admittedly tend to order a lavender latte here since other shops only offer lavender seasonally (whereas lavender syrup is always available when I stop by Jitters). And it's always delicious - I love the coffee-milk-syrup ratio in their lattes.I typically just get a drink, although you could easily enjoy a nice coffee date here complete with a pastry or an ice cream. If you're near Shadyside, take advantage of it and visit this great shop - I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the area!

Delicious specialty coffees and such a lovely café. I've been here three times now. On a warm day, the outdoor tables are out, about five or six of them and they get full but turnover is pretty high. On a weekday morning, you might find two or three people in the café on the line. I'm a big fan of their specialty coffees, the spring flavors out now are delicious. Behind the counter, you can see a huge election of syrups, they can really make any flavor for you.Their pastries are pretty limited. I've tried them twice nothing to write home for but They are satisfying and go well with coffee of course.

I have been coming here since I moved to Pittsburgh and I just love love love Jitters. The location is great and close to so many things that I stop by a couple times a month while running errands for a quick treat. In the summer I love to get a crisp Italian soda with lavender and vanilla syrup or an iced orange oat milk latte (so good, try it!). I love that they have creative specials and offer an array of flavors to add to your drinks. There's plenty of space to sit inside or outside. There are often people working on laptops or socializing, it's a really welcoming vibe. The staff are so friendly, and when it isn't busy I love having a little chat with my favorite baristas there. Always welcoming, always so nice. Prices aren't bad, there's so many options, always friendly staff, and a great location - I'll miss Jitters so much if I ever leave the city.

Best coffee shop in Shadyside area!!!! Truly the only local spot (and I have tried sooo many) that I have been to that actually has good coffee/drinks AND listens to their costumers when they ask for more or less sweetener/syrup etc. the matcha with maple syrup is my favorite and go to drink here! The staff is also always so sweet :)

I have only had one coffee from here but it was pretty good. Had a nice light aftertaste. They have a nail salon inside that they partner with. You can enjoy a treat while you wait for your appointment. The staff are super nice and helpful, great with recommendations.

Cute and quaint inside. Service was great. The madeleine latte is delicious! I had mine prepared over ice and it was perfectly sweet (but not too sweet) and almond-y tasting. Loved it as an after lunch/dinner treat!

We were walking on foot in the Shadyside neighborhood when we stumbled onto Jitters Cafe. This is a laid-back, small coffee spot with no-frills (I mean that in the best way possible). It had a few tables inside filled with people working on their laptops.I grabbed a simple matcha latte and my partner had the drip coffee. The service was fast and both of our drinks were enjoyable. I liked their chalk drawings on the wall and their bags of coffee to-go. They also sold a selection of fresh pastries and bagels in the case.It shares a similar spot next to a nail salon, so it would be very fun to get your nails done than come here for coffee! They have a great location amongst several other local Shadyside businesses and it makes for an easy tour of local spots in the neighborhood. Good spot to stop and grab a coffee.
