If you’ve enjoyed a great cup of coffee in Pittsburgh, you probably have Bill Swoope to thank.

The Coffee Tree Roasters first opened its doors in Squirrel Hill, Pennsylvania in 1993 as a simple coffee shop with a small batch in-store roaster.

Started by the father and son team fondly known as “The Bill’s,” The Coffee Tree Roasters paved the way for the coffee scene in Pittsburgh, and for all who followed in their footsteps.

Coffee Tree has grown to include five company owned retail locations throughout the Greater Pittsburgh Area; multiple Coffee Tree licensed stores; a thriving roastery and wholesale division located in West Mifflin; and a full service espresso equipment and repair company called Espresso Solutions.

Currently run by Jean Swoope, and now a Certified Woman Owned and Operated Business, The Coffee Tree family has two simple goals:

To serve the freshest and finest single farm-sourced coffees from around the world in a space where lifelong relationships are forged.

To support our local communities through partnerships with schools, by providing learning labs for Business and Life Skills students focused on training for barista positions to running your own business.
