RECORD STORE | COFFEE SHOP

Proudly providing Pittsburgh with exceptional coffee & music since 2021.

Storefront

Coffee and music go hand-in-hand; therefore, setting up a space for the community to gather to enjoy these things is natural. Our family-run business includes a team of strategic partners to provide high-quality goods for us to share with our neighborhood.

The world is an ever-changing and dynamic place, and coffee & music do not have a "one size fits all" solution. Our community already has a variety of great cafes and music shops; however, although they may work for many, they may not work for everyone. When other local options may not feel like the right setting, Needle & Bean proudly provides a contrasting option for the community to enjoy. Focusing on new, independent music & sourcing high-quality café options, allows us to provide quality alternatives to the current solutions in the area. Creating a space such as this, provides the community an exciting option to meet and gather.

We will continue to improve and evolve with the world by keeping a focus on our partnerships, both vendors and patrons, to ensure we do not lose focus on who or what we serve, what we stand for, and delighting our customers. It's as simple as that.

Thank you for being a part of the Needle & Bean family.
