KLVN Coffee Lab

Great coffee and space to spend a day, but it’s a little hard to get to without a car. The cafe has a very unique decor and spacious layout. The baristas are friendly and there’s always new seasonal items to check out. I really like the iced latte and mocha, which have very smooth flavors with a good amount of milk, and are also available decaf.

Never get food from here unless you need food, because you’ll be paying $10 for 2 tiny slices of bread and a salad (true story) or $8 for a costco hotdog. This is a coffee spot, so I’m not factoring food into my rating.

There are lots of seating available, although only a few have outlets so don’t rely on being able to get one. They also have a good collection of beans, merch, and other items for sale that can be pricey but worth it if you would regularly use them.

I’ve never had a bad cup of coffee from KLVN. They also literally have amazing cups made of clay pottery that makes you feel good when you hold it like a bowl with both palms of your hands during wintertime. KLVN has the perfect mixture of 2cool4u cafe vibe along with the cozy neighborhood cafe vibe at the same time that welcomes all kinds of people. Don’t forget to try their world-famous-soon-to-be salted waffle on the weekend.

Izze had a matcha latte, she said it’s really good. Luke had a coffee, he said he hasn’t tried it yet. Charla had a hot chocolate and she exclaimed it is delicious! I had a coffee, it tasted pretty darn good! Little baby Clementine had H20 and giggled, water! They seem to allow dogs in, which is good if you like dogs, which I do. They also allow little people which is nice. Overall, fun place to get some caffeine!

This place is absolutely perfect. The atmosphere is totally unique for the Pittsburgh area and honestly is enough to keep me coming back, but then there's the coffee. I had the Cappuchino and while the foam was a little weak the drink itself was superb. It was one of those experiences where it got better the more you had. The staff was charming and beyond pleasant. Overall it's been the most memorable coffee shops I've been to in a very long time.

I liked the place a lot. The cappuccino had the right consistency and mouth feel. It was mellow and velvety. I prefer it a bit stronger though. Loved the lemon poppyseed muffin. Also, I have to say the hand soap feels great!!
