KLVN Coffee Lab – Redefining Coffee Culture in Pittsburgh

KLVN Coffee Lab (pronounced “Kelvin”) is more than a café—it’s a forward-thinking specialty coffee roaster and creative hub nestled in Pittsburgh’s vibrant coffee scene. With a striking mid-century modern aesthetic and a name inspired by the Kelvin temperature scale, KLVN brings precision, warmth, and artistic flair into everything it does.

Art Meets Science in Every Roast

KLVN takes a meticulous, scientific approach to coffee roasting. Their beans are sourced with care from ethically driven farms around the world, then roasted in-house to accentuate clarity, sweetness, and complexity. Favoring light to medium roast profiles, they allow each origin’s natural flavors to shine—whether it’s the citrusy brightness of an African single origin or the floral complexity of a washed Central American coffee.

The roastery, located inside the café, gives customers a window into the craft. From green bean to finished cup, transparency and quality control are core to KLVN’s philosophy. This lab-like setup reflects their commitment to continuous learning, experimentation, and refinement.

A Café That Inspires Creativity

KLVN’s café space is just as intentional as its roasts. Designed with clean lines, bold color palettes, and modern furniture, it’s an homage to mid-century innovation—a space where design, community, and coffee intersect. Every element, from the bar layout to the coffee packaging, reflects a passion for visual storytelling and functionality.

Whether you’re a creative professional looking for inspiration, a coffee enthusiast exploring third-wave brews, or someone seeking a welcoming space to gather, KLVN offers a unique atmosphere that invites exploration and connection.

Education, Subscriptions, and Wholesale

More than a destination for great drinks, KLVN Coffee Lab is also an educational resource and wholesale partner. They host tastings, brewing workshops, and community events that foster deeper understanding of specialty coffee—from farm to cup. Their team values knowledge-sharing and seeks to empower customers to elevate their at-home brewing game.

For those who want consistent quality, KLVN offers a coffee subscription service featuring seasonal selections delivered straight to your door. Their wholesale program supports local cafés, restaurants, and businesses with expertly roasted beans and training support.
