    First time here and I’m glad I tried it! Espresso was delicious and the filter coffee was really shining! Baristas were great too! Just know that this is an outdoor walk up coffee bar, though they do have some outdoor seating on the sidewalk.

    I came here on a Sunday morning running errands. It was pretty busy as expected being that the Steelers played that day. I feel bad I didn't catch any names but the lady with the glasses greeted me kindly and took my order as soon as she was done making others. I got a Cold Chocolate Drink with oat milk and  Empanadas. Everything was delicious! The staff was kind I even brought a bag of Cacao and left a $10 tip. This was a hidden Gem to me glad I found it anyone looking for an authentic Columbin café this is the spot.

    You have to try it all! Their menu is just full of amazing and delicious traditional Colombian food. I loved the passion fruit & mango smoothie but you have to try the açai bowl or the smoothie, it is crazy delicious. I have no words to describe their other products but everytime that I'm around the strip district it's just a pleasure to have a pandebono (pan de queso), an empanada, an aborrajado, and of course, an arepa!!!!!! 🤤🤤🤤🤤 The people in the shop is very kind and they can have some traffic sometimes, but any second in Colombino it's just a great experience. They have tables and chairs, and you can just enjoy the area while waiting for a delicious surprise 🤩🥰 Love you guys!!!! 🕺🤗🤩🙏🌎🇪🇨

    Its a small street food stall. Always crowded-- and I see why. Excellllllleeeeennnnttttttttttt empanadas! We ordered the beef& potatoes empanadas-- 2 per order& the guava arepa. The arepa was sweet& delish-- goes really well w/ coffee. The empanadas came w/ cilantro scallion in oil ((sort of like a whole salsa)) dipping sauce. Not spicy. We loved it so much that we made a u-turn & went back again to get another one. Its just too good. Now I see why its always busy.

    The plantain and cheese arepa is incredibly delicious, just so satisfying, and the turmeric latte - well, I've never had anything like it. It gave me a happy warm glow inside! Definitely worth it!

    This little food stand is outstanding. I personally have been to Colombia and I don't know that I had Arepas this good. Everything is gluten free and sits right in front of Reyna Foods next to R cellar on Penn.

    Authentic and delicious! A must stop for coffee in person and to go. Roasted beans bagged up and ready and even offered to grind it for us. Love this place. Wish I could visit it every day! The empanadas and fried pork are to die for. Don’t be dumb. Come here.

    The plantains and cheese arepa with pork is currently in my top 3 favorite foods. Their coffee is fantastic, their spicy hot chocolate is fantastic. Try the colombian hot chocolate with cheese, it's really interesting! They're always super friendly, unique offerings for Pittsburgh, hidden gem. Sometimes they'll get busy but I promise it is worth the wait!

    I had been seeing ads for this place on Instagram constantly and always thought that it was some corporate company advertising Colombian coffee. Then, I stumbled upon it in the Strip District neighborhood in Pittsburgh, and it was fate. To begin, the man and the woman both waiting on me were extremely kind and informative on what each item was like. This was helpful as I had never really eaten or tried many things from Colombia. I settled with the coconut limeade, and it was perfect on that hot day. Excellent taste-- not too sweet nor sour! I also had an order of pão de queixo (their Colombian version, of course!). They were hot and fresh and tasted amazing. This place is a simple stall right outside of the Mexican grocer. It is easy to miss as it just looks like a normal food stall. However, they offer many specialties, and I am already itching to return! Coconut Limeade

    This place is to die for! We got the Farmers Latte, the Dulce de Leche Latte, Coffee of the Day to drink and we had empenadas and the arepa with crunch pork belly for breakfast. Every bite blew us away, I already want to go back every day for the rest of our trip. Maybe even for lunch as well 😅 On top of the delicious food, the service was even better, both people we interacted with (I believe one was the owner possibly?) were SO kind and helpful and knowledgeable about the coffee. I will miss this place, wish we had this back home! Thank you for a great breakfast and amazing coffee! Cheers!

    The coffee was OK at best, nothing fancy or great about it. The service was SLOW,,,, as molasses ,we almost canceled our order and walked away. The girl didn't seem very friendly either, and had a sour look on her face the entire transaction. We won't return here again.

    Nice staff and good food. Outside seating. Street pay parking. Nice place in Strip District

    I absolutely love Mr. Colombino’s coffee. It’s so smooth and creamy with no bitterness, the beans are so fresh and sustainably sourced. If you’re feeling fancy order the mocha. It’s not fast drink, because he uses fresh cacao beans and grinds them right there. And it’s not really sweet like a typical mocha, so the coffee still shines through. You can clearly taste both the coffee and the chocolate, being totally happy together in one cup. It’s the perfect balance for me, I would wait the extra few minutes for it any day. He truly takes pride in his coffee.

    The iced coffee was AMAZING! I also had the plantain and cheese arepa and it was so so good as well! Definitely recommend this place!
