Cannon Coffee

Nathan Mallory, original owner has sold the shop to a Lebanese man… not sure if they plan to radically change it or not… I have noticed that the flourescent overhead lights are always on… not a nice atmosphere for a coffee shop experience. better than no coffee joint, I guess.

One of my favorite South Hills coffee places. Good lattes, good art, and a good vibe.

Cool local coffee shop with nice food offerings and good drinks. It’s easy to tell that it is operated by people who care about doing great work and are always looking for ways to improve.

I am sitting at Cannon right now with my dog and a really good wifi connection. The back deck is nice, they gave him water, and the coffee is good. Can’t ask for anything more.

This place is highly adored and recommended by my gf, and she knows her coffee, at least she thinks she does. I like their hot chocolate, and the bearded dragon. They have food too! Try it.

I couldn’t ask for a better local coffee shop. The service is outstanding, my dogs are allowed in, there’s a patio out back, they serve good food as well as delicious coffee-​friendly confections, and everyone is consistently nice. I’ve not yet been to an open mic but I love that they hold them, plus are an active part of the community. Everything a local coffee should be!

newly remodeled… expanded food menu… indoor/​outdoor seating… great coffee, great people, great for the community

Great small business café!
Met my girlfriend here for a coffee on a weekday afternoon. They have a small menu of hot and cold drinks. I ordered a latte which was made perfectly. The expression they used was smooth and rich. They have a few food items too but didn’t try any this time.
Definitely recommend for a great coffee drink and nice atmosphere.

I’ve been coming here for about a year. Always quiet, free wifi, and great coffee. The patrons and staff are cool, as well.
They hold an open mic on Wednesday evenings (never have attended due to another standing gig I have), but I’ve heard good things. Also, local artists work on display and available for purchase.
The only downside… The wait for food is pretty long. Two grilled cheese sandwiches took almost 30 minutes!
If you’re in the area, it’s worth making this your stop for a caffeine fix…

Good cappuccino. They brew Commonplace coffee. I liked the bird in the cage. Overall nice place.

Great coffee, comfortable chairs, tables if you need to work, plenty of inexpensive parking on Brookline Blvd. Now if they’d only open a branch in Dormont!

Super solid coffee drinks, great service, never had their food, they have that Pellegrino lemon and orange soda in their case if you’re feeling dehydrated (I see that a lot in Pittsburgh is that like a thing?)
I’ve gotten a super fantastic double cappuccino and an iced dirty chai. They were both very good and baristas making them were super friendly and all hip and stuff.
The atmosphere looks extremely comfortable. Bookshelves and red velour chair (s), hardwood floors, tasteful art, a fish tank (that was a fishtank right? I might be making that up.) All combined and with the addition of the heavenly aroma of good coffee, it’s definitely a place in which I would «hang» if I was a cool person that did that but I can’t study in coffee shops cause I get too distracted watching other people and being more interested in what they’re doing instead of my stupid whatever I’m reading.
The point is, everyone looked very happy and comfy and this is a place to go for great coffee. So… if this is your neighborhood, you’re very lucky.

Closed during hours it says it is opened is a big no-​NO in my book. I walked in, guy said it was closed and then he pulled out his guitar and started strumming it.

I discovered this place when doing a little bit of neighborhood research upon finding out that I would be spending a lot of time in Brookline. This section of Pittsburgh has a lot of character, and it turns out, a lot of interesting characters as well. My first visit was on a Wednesday night after a long meeting, and I was needing something special to get me going. A latte was just what the doctor ordered, and this cute little coffee shop on the Boulevard that looked so inviting and interesting on my Googles looked even more inviting in person. I am so glad I stopped in, because I not only had a great latte, but I ended up spending a couple of hours enjoying local poets, musicians, comedians, and other entertainers bring forth a truly unique evening that I will never forget.
One late morning, I found myself in the same neighborhood feeling a little bit hungry and I remembered the hand-​drawn signs at Cannon Coffee describing their wraps and paninis, so I swooped into a parking space and decided to give them a try. The thoroughly tatooed and delightfully engaging woman working the counter by herself quickly whipped up a delicious pulled pork panini and a perfect latte for me. To think that I usually ended up in a Wendy’s in similar circumstances left me feeling thankful for that urge to try something different and put my hard-​earned cash into the hands of a local-​type establishment. I will definitely be visiting this place again soon, and I would encourage anyone who is tired of the usual trite and cliché entertainment offered in most Pittsburgh establishments to check out the Wednesday open mic night at Cannon, because chances are, you will never see this kind of unique local color and artistry anywhere else.

Good food, good coffee, nice staff. A great neighborhood coffee spot. Last time I had lunch (veggie grilled panini). Top notch! I also met the potter who makes their mugs last time I was in. I love that Cannon Coffee supports a local artists (mugs are for sale in the shop!)
All around great.

This coffee shop, nicely located on the main drag, was a delightful find. The ice coffee was delicious and paired nicely with the scone I had. Scone had a very unique flavor and I totally dug it!
Wifi was speedy, service was friendly. Overall it was a nice find! Definitely worth checking out if you are in the area.

I had an impromptu meeting to conduct and was really craving a good pretzel from Vinnie’s. When I parked, I noticed this little café and figured it would work out as the perfect location for the meeting. I told my associates to order me a chamomile tea and that I would return with sustenance.
When I arrived with the pretzels, the three of us sat at some comfy chairs. It is rather tchotchke and Bohemian in a sparse way in the interior. I enjoyed my tea. I was told the iced coffee was good.

Now that Sugar Café closed (equaldistant from our home), we’re left with only one great coffee shop in walking distance… that would be Cannon Coffee.
Reasonable prices, decent brew, good small eats, and an awesome aura (complete with a back deck, local artisan sales, and open mic nights) make this the complete neighborhood coffee shop package.
Everyone is always nice and you get to see a great representation of the diverse neighborhood that is Brookline.

People looking to open up a coffee shop in Pittsburgh have it made! Want a homey feel? Buy a house and convert it into a business! Want a beautiful molded ceiling? Already there! Want character? It’s built in.
Get the point? This place has history and I love it! Lots of books line the walls, but little trinkets decorate the walls and ample seating, including comfy chairs, make it a prime spot for work or a casual meet up. They also have a killer outdoor patio that actually offers power for your laptop too, which is a total plus if you want to hang in the pretty space.
They have all the normal coffee, tea and soda offerings (yay for Italian soda!). I went with an iced vanilla latte and it was perfect. The dude who seemed to be the owner was incredible friendly and even had his fluffy friendly dog with him. If you’re looking for a furry friend to break up the work day, this doggie is looking for attention!
The food they were making for breakfast and lunch smelled awesome, so I’m looking forward to stopping back for some bites.

This place clearly deserves 5 stars. The coffee was excellent and they also have wifi however, you will need to ask for a password. A couple of regulars came in after us and they were super sweet. My boyfriend and I will defiantly make a return trip!
On the return trip we had an excellent conversation with the owner about some new ideas he had to bring in more business. One of them being a Sunday brunch which sounded amazing! Defiantly hit up this place if you are in the area.
