La Prima has roasted Italian-style espresso in Pittsburgh's Strip District since 1988, making it the oldest specialty espresso institution in the city. The sidewalk cafe experience on 21st Street, flanked by market vendors and produce stalls, is an irreplaceable piece of Pittsburgh coffee culture. Their house-roasted blends lean toward the traditional, with a standing clientele of morning regulars who wouldn't go anywhere else.
