COLOMBINO Coffee/Food Truck

good coffee on the south side slopes tends to spread by word of mouth before it spreads anywhere else. colombino, out on west liberty avenue in the beechview neighborhood, runs as a food truck and roaster, which means the operation stays lean and the focus stays narrow in the best possible way. you won't find a sprawling menu pulling attention in six directions. what you'll find is a roaster that takes its sourcing seriously enough that regulars keep coming back without much prompting. the truck format suits pittsburgh, honestly, a city that has always moved its best things around. beechview itself is a working neighborhood, not a scene, and that context shapes what colombino is. stop by in the morning, when west liberty is still waking up, and get the coffee while it's fresh.
