Arriviste's drinks blew our minds! Their seasonal menu was exactly what we look for in a coffee shop: really interesting and tasty options - not just lattes, but cold brew and other espresso specials too. Something fun for everyone and possibly the most unique menu we've seen so far! Plus, of course, the drinks were delicious. If you come to Arriviste, you've gotta try the ube latte. It was originally part of their seasonal menu, but it was so popular they added it to their permanent menu.

The baristas were incredibly friendly and helpful, and the music was fantastic - we just had to ask for the playlist. The mugs were pretty nice though a little bland (just white and simple). They sell some merch, art, and pastries too, but the food was a little overpriced, so we didn't try it. Arriviste is in a cute area of Shadyside, right by some lovely shops and a great new bookstore (shoutout Cozy Corner, HIGHLY recommend).

The biggest downfall is the decor and atmosphere. The bare white walls make it feel more like an art gallery than a cozy cafe, and the seating was very limited. We had to cram in on a couch near someone else. It was so quiet when we walked in that we felt a little awkward.
