A specialty coffee shop at the corner of Buena Vista and Jacksonia in Pittsburgh’s Mexican War Streets, Central Northside, Commonplace Coffee serves thoughtfully roasted coffee, espresso drinks, and warm neighborhood hospitality in the heart of the North Side. We’re steps from the Mattress Factory, a short walk from the National Aviary, and a familiar stop for neighbors from Allegheny West, Deutschtown, Manchester, Allegheny Commons, and the North Shore.
