We’ve been stopping by De Fer for YEARS now. They have a wonderful Cafe atmosphere – Delicious food, coffee, tea and cocktails – and often host live music. They’re always asking new and curious things to their menu (like the delightful matcha tonic I ordered today)

Coffee and atmosphere were both absolutely fantastic!! Service was super slow and could be a little faster. It took probably 15 minutes to get a simple latte. I did really like the latte I got and it was worth the little wait!

Great location. In a fun place. Love the ambiance with the brick and rust look. Feels cozy. I tried their butterscotch latte and chickpeas frittata and they were amazing. Service was great and friendly. Will come again.

The baristas are lovely, the food is on par or better than many other restaurants and diners in the strip district, and the coffee is exceptional. I love getting a bag of whole bean coffee any time I am in the area. The whole bean coffee is always well stocked and freshly roasted.

Stopped for coffee after a MS walk in Pittsburgh! Did not disappoint! It was so good! Super friendly! Definitely a little busy on weekends, just keep that in mind! Smoothies were good.

Really wanted to dine in and order food but was on the go. Got a lavender vanilla latte with oat-milk (7.52$). The coffee was pretty good – I’d totally get again.

I stopped for breakfast with my wife. Honestly, it was one of the most delicious breakfast sandwiches I’ve ever had. It tasted fresh and was very bold with flavor. The coffee was standard Cafe coffee. Wait, staff was top-notch. They were working quickly and efficiently while also being super friendly. Good vibes. Would suggest!

Ordered a pour over. The barista was friendly and knowledgeable about the coffee I ordered. He even offered recommendations for how fine the grinds should be for a good extraction.
