Started working in The Strip a couple weeks ago and chose Novaria as my first pick coffee stop. First timer for Syrian style coffee, so I asked the barista what his recommended latte is. He gave me the Date flavored latte (which was phenomenal) and answered any questions I had about their brewing methods or location questions. Osmund (Osmand?) was a wonderful help in getting me a quality drink he knew I would enjoy. His enthusiasm made the drink that much tastier, and the atmosphere extremely welcoming. The latte he made was also excellent in craftsmanship. Top tier foam on my latte. You better believe I will be coming back time and time again for this place! I also recommend trying out their mocha, as it is more of a dark chocolate, creating a very smooth, rich flavor that's not too sweet or overwhelming.

Great little Syrian coffee spot with friendly staff (I think he's the owner). Good cup of coffee and a wonderful atmosphere including Syrian music.

I just loved the Syrian coffee! We absolutely loved this place; Authentic Middle Eastern vibes with the most delicious Syrian coffee we’ve ever had. The atmosphere is peaceful, with beautiful Middle Eastern music playing in the background. The service? Outstanding — warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. They welcome laptops and offer free Wi-Fi, making it a perfect spot to work, read, or write in peace.

This coffee is delicious, definitely go for the hot coffee even if it’s hot outside because it’s just that good. Also get the cookie that is yellow. AND unexpectedly they have perfume / cologne and it’s smells wonderful and long lasting for a great price

The coffee was fantastic. I got the traditional Syrian hot drink and then also the vanilla iced one. The service was great. I love the decor inside. I hope this place does great.

Pistachio cappuccino was excellent. Nicely balanced with a pleasant, slightly bold bitterness, and a rich, dense milk foam. The pistachio syrup was just right, it complemented the coffee without overpowering it. The only downside was that it felt quite warm inside the shop, so I found myself wanting to step outside and enjoy the drink there.

Thank you Osman to introduce Syrian coffee to us and share your knowledge and passion about Syrian coffee. While I enjoyed the experience a lot, I personally feel the Cardamon flavor is quite overwhelming over the coffee. Syrian pastries are really good.

This is hands down one of the best coffee spots in Pittsburgh. The mocha is absolutely incredible — easily the best mocha I’ve had in both Pittsburgh and Ohio. You can really taste the quality and care in every drink. The ambiance is warm, stylish, and relaxing — the kind of place you actually want to sit and enjoy your coffee. It has a unique vibe that stands out from typical coffee shops in the area. The owner is extremely friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and the quality of what they’re serving. Prices are very reasonable, especially for the quality you’re getting. Honestly, it’s worth the drive from anywhere in Pittsburgh. This has officially become our go-to coffee spot, and we don’t go anywhere else now. If you’re looking for the best coffee in Pittsburgh, you MUST try this place — it will easily become your new favorite.
