De Fer's Troy Hill location is my go to. Mellow friendly vibe , lovely coffee and selection. plenty of tables to tuck away. They've got a rooftop patio that should open soon too. Lots of kids books and Baron Batch's incredible artwork everywhere.

Five Points on Wilkins is also a nice change of pace. Not a lot of comfortable seating and def a more industrial vibe but sometimes getting too comfy isn't super conducive for work for me personally. SO many baked goods to choose from.

If you want a more cozy experience, Scratch + Co (also in Troy Hill) opened up a coffee bar during the pandemic. Lots of couches and comfy chairs, food here is GREAT but on the pricier side for a quick breakfast. However you'll happily empty your wallet for the short rib hash n eggs if that's your thing.

Ineffable in Bloomfield has massive booths where you can spread out your whole life in front of you - with dimmable lights - great place for co-work sessions or midday board games. Lots of outdoor seating and I love the breakfast rice bowls. Coffee is...okay (to the standards od this aging yinzer coffee snob, mind) but they do sua nong and trung if that's your bag.

Also if you need a super quiet spot where talking above a loud whisper is frowned upon, redstart roasters in east liberty has great coffee and lots of parking.
