"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."

Exploring the City

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.

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.
Help me build the ultimate directory of Pittsburgh's vibrant coffee scene. One shop at a time.
