La Prima Espresso is a coffee roaster formerly on Smallman Street in Strip District neighborhood of Pittsburgh. In 2013, the roasting operation moved to a 4,000 square foot building 1500 Chateau Street in Manchester on the North Side. It is considered to be one of the "powerhouse local brands" in Pittsburgh. In addition to the 205 Twenty-first Street retail operation, La Prima operates a satellite coffee bar at Carnegie Mellon University's Wean Hall. Its coffee is also available in other local coffee shops. There had previously been a location near PPG Place. It offers organic options and is fair trade certified. As of 2008, it had remained the only such coffee roaster in Pittsburgh.
