New year, new places to shop and eat. 2025 brings a host of new Pittsburgh openings, from supermarkets and coffeeshops to clothing stores and restaurants. Realtor and Pittsburgh man-about-town Herky Pollock helped us out with our 2024 list, and going into the new year, we’re keeping our eye on what 2025 holds.
2025’s Hottest Retail and Restaurant Openings in Pittsburgh
GetBlok Farms
The Terminal, The Strip District
Getting healthy food within the city limits just got easier! If you don’t want to drive out to Aliqiuippa for fresh produce, GetBlok Farms will be opening their new “Veggie Vault” in The Terminal shopping center in the Strip District.
Fresh International Market
Point Breeze
Pittsburgh will be getting a new supermarket, Pennsylvania’s very first Fresh International Market chain. Fresh International Market is a grocery store chain that stocks, as the name suggests, authentic ingredients from around the world, particularly Asia. This Rockwell Park development will be another food source in a neighborhood that otherwise has few options for supermarkets. So, it will be a great change when it opens on April 1! It will also have a new location of beloved Vietnamese coffeeshop Ineffable Ca Phé.
Afters Cafe
Squirrel Hill
Though little information is available about it, this café will be opening in The Refillery’s former location. (If you miss The Refillery, you can find it in Oakmont!) From the name, we wonder if this is going to be a late-night coffeeshop, which would be a welcome addition to Pittsburgh.
1659
Cranberry
This combination of a flower shop, a café, and a boutique clothing store is straight out of a romcom. Café Conmigo, Blooms, and Straight Line Boutique joined forces to share one space in Cranberry where you can get all your cozy-yet-upscale vibes. 1659 will be the café’s second location, their first is in Wexford, and the boutique’s second location, and it will be Blooms’ first brick and mortar location.
Café Conmigo (PIT Airport)
PIT Airport
As well as their expansion into Cranberry, Café Conmigo will join a host of new retailers and restaurants that will be new additions to the redesigned Pittsburgh airport. They’re one of the only locally-owned specialty coffeeshops in the new airport and are excited to share their coffee with travelers.
Titusz
Lawrenceville
From Chef Csilla Thackray, this Austro-Hungarian restaurant will be opening up in the former Merchant Oyster Co spot on Butler Street. Csilla has been a chef at Fet-Fisk, The Vandal, and Churchview Farms, so we are excited to see her open her new restaurant. Read our exclusive interview with Csilla, as well.
Aritzia
Ross Park Mall
A number of new shops are opening up in Ross Park Mall in 2025, including this “everyday luxury” women’s clothing store originally from Vancouver, Canada. As of right now, the nearest Aritzia is in Columbus, so its addition to the North Hills will be a boon for for shoppers looking for high-quality womenswear.
Whisker Wonderland
Bellevue
For cat lovers, as of January 2025, Pittsburgh now has its second cat café. Designer and artist Anna Montano decided she wanted to create a community space where people can spend time with cats and relax. If you want, you can also take home a new furry friend. Whisker Wonderland gets support from Conquer the Colony, a non-profit women-run cat rescue in Pittsburgh.
