This is my 2nd time in Pittsburgh and when I was here a year ago, I happened upon Prestogeorge in The Strip District by accident when I was running by and someone stopped to ask me the time and he was horribly disappointed the shop had just closed as he was driving from quite a ways to get some coffee. I knew it had to be something special if this person was coming from quite a distance just to buy coffee. I went back the next day and found the tea selection to be the best I've ever found in the USA. (Sorry not a coffee drinker nor have I eaten at the deli so this review is from the tea perspective only.)
Back in Pittsburgh now and it was one of my first stops this trip plus I had my sister stop for me when she was in town earlier this year and she loved it too.
Here's what I've purchased in loose teas:
DeCaf Cherry Sencha (if you like cherries you'll love this tea. Closest thing to drinking the best cherries you've ever eaten. On the expensive side compared to the others I purchased but worth every dime)
Blueberry Black
English Breakfast
Strawberry Black
Wild Cherry Black
Creme Earl Gray
Blackfruits White
I bought a few 1/8 lbs, 1/4 lbs and a 1/2 lb of the sencha and my total bill was $37. All of the teas are excellent and I only wished I had a tea shop like this in my area. Great news is that they do ship anywhere and have a great website for ordering.
The tea guy that helped me this time is the same as last year and he's very nice and helpful.
The only thing lacking is space to sit and enjoy (very limited seating with just 1 table).
I'd say if you're in Pittsburgh and if you like tea or coffee (coffee I can only judge from the long line and great smell!) this is a must visit (or check out their on line shop if you're out of area). Be sure to check the hours because like everything in The Strip, they close early.
