"There's a host of little reasons why a smaller or newer shop isn't known that could easily be answered by storytelling like pgh.coffee."
- TJ Fairchild, owner of Commonplace Coffee, in Technical.ly

The Founder
Meet John-George
Hi, I'm John-George, a coffee lover and software developer from Pittsburgh. For over a decade, I've been captivated by the city's coffee scene. What started as a personal quest to explore every shop soon became a mission to connect the community and share my discoveries.
This project has helped thousands of users discover new spots and support Pittsburgh's small businesses. Whether it's suggesting a favorite shop or providing feedback, your contributions make this project better every day.

Frequently Asked
How can I contribute to the site?
You can submit new shops through the submission form. I love hearing community suggestions!
Why is my favorite shop missing?
New spots pop up every week! If your favorite is missing, tell me and I'll add it to the map ASAP.
Does pgh.coffee have an app?
The site is a web-first experience. You can "Add to Home Screen" on your mobile device for a seamless app-like feel.
Why should I use pgh.coffee instead of Google Maps?
Google Maps shows you almost any business if you search "coffee", chains, gas stations, places that closed months ago. pgh.coffee is curated. Every shop is independently owned, and I track news about openings, closings, specials, and events that Maps won't surface. It's built by someone who's actually visited these places, not an algorithm.
