The coffee here is solid and does the job! Things you should know:I. PARKING There are various options. Street parking, public parking lots and a nearby public parking garage. All easily accessible ~ the only hold-up is that they're paid parking spots, costing about $1/hr. Not bad. II. SERVICE Timely and really patient at taking my crazy beverage orders. They offer sugar free syrups for my friends who like guilt-free options for their drinks.III. QUALITY I'm a snob about my coffee, but their cold brew passes the test. My grandmother, who cannot have caffeine anymore, really enjoys their decaf lattes. The atmosphere is inviting and well designed. It's a great place to camp out at and knock out some work/studying.IV. Fair amount of available seating during weekday late-morning. Seems to be a good time to camp out.

When I first started coming here many years ago, even before I actually lived in Pittsburgh, it was my go to coffee shop. The owners really took pride in the shop, it was always clean and the owner and employees were always smiling and knowledgeable about the coffee - not your typical "I'm a barista, so I know better than you" that one experiences in many coffee houses these days. And the coffee was always top notch, obviously the most important point. Fast forward a few years later and it's become a true cafe. A very good menu that changes depending on the season and even day to day. Decided to stop by for brunch because Croque Madame was on the menu. There aren't a lot of tables so it can go fast, but luckily we found a spot at the bar. Even though the cafe was at capacity, it wasn't noisy, and it felt comfortable. I'd usually a great image to come and chill with e coffee. Yes, one can chill with a hot coffee!The main attraction - the Croque Madame - really was amazing. The quality of the cheese and the preparation/cooking were just right. Very much like the time we ate it in Paris many years ago. Full disclosure - I am biased as I've come here for years, except not as much recently, and this is the first time I've actually dined here - always just a latte either to go or sit and read. Been making too since they added a cafe menu, but better late than never!If you come to this cafe you won't be disappointed. I recommend checking the menu first as it does change. But if you see something you typically like, I feel confident you won't be disappointed.

Very reasonably priced coffee shop. They have a food menu but not a lot of options. Just small items (bagels, cookies, scones, etc.). I got a Lavendar latte. It was good but I barely tasted the flavor. They have a lot of seating. People were working on their laptop. There is free WiFi.

I had the most wonderful date here tonight. We ordered the cheese board and it was a fabulous assortment of cheeses, crackers, dips and snacks. I was shocked how quiet and empty it was for a Friday night- truly the perfect place to start a night out with appetizers and drinks- such a huge selection! The music and lighting were delightful- perfect for conversation. I will definitely be back for some daytime pastries and a tea!

While staying in the area I stopped in here one weekday morning for breakfast and a coffee. I think this might be the only breakfast joint open on a Tuesday morning near the Springhill Suites in Mt. Lebanon.The staff was friendly. They have a nice coffee menu. As for their breakfast menu, it's limited to what's in the display case and I opted for the breakfast wrap, which was fresh and pretty tasty. Coffee was nice too.Definitely would recommend!

We were looking for a quick bite while we were in the south hills and stumbled into Orbis caffe. The place was cute and quaint, and seemed like it was divided into two rooms - one for the bar and other for the coffee shop. There was plenty of seating. Although we didn't order anything at the bar, I love that they had a variety of cocktails and beers. The coffee, service, and ambiance was excellent. The food was just on par with any standard cafe, but the prices were shockingly low. The salmon bagel and wraps were only $6-$7 each!! This place is definitely a great to stop by if you're on the go or if you want to sit and relax.

Picked up a nitro cold brew and a vegan blueberry muffin, both were good and highly recommend. Saturday morning was no joke by the way, pretty crowded and busy. Definitely going back for a brunch next time!

I have had Orbis Caffe on my list of places to check out for a while now. I was in Mt. Lebanon for a meeting and stopped here after. It is totally not what I was expecting in the inside. It's so big for a coffee shop!! Not only do they have every kind of coffee you can imagine, but they have a small food menu, lots of treats, and wine/cocktails! I already can't wait to go back for happy hour. I worked at Orbis from 11am-1 pm and it was a relaxed atmosphere. Some people were chatting, others working, others on the phone. When I walked in I told the man working that it was my first time there. He showed me the menus. I ordered a slice of quiche (asparagus, artichoke, mushroom, feta) and a soy latte. I know everyone is on the oat milk trend, but I love a soy latte. Not many places carry soy milk anymore, so I was pleasantly surprised. My latte was ready right away and the quiche was warmed up and brought to my table. It was so rich yet fluffy inside. I will definitely order it again next time. I also plan to try their pastries next time too. I follow them on Instagram and see that they serve a Sunday brunch that looks incredible!Their happy hour is from 4-6 pm and they have an awesome wine selection! They also serve small plates on Saturdays and Sundays from 5-9. I foresee me stopping in soon for a glass of Bordeaux and burrata! Mt. Lebanon is about 25 minutes from me, but I will go out of my way to eat/drink and work here again!

Got an Iced Latte with sugar free caramel and my life is changed. favorite coffee place ever. definetly stop by you won't regret it. environment inside is clean and welcoming, workers are so sweet, and the pastries they have look delicious! definetly will be getting one next time
