Convive Coffee was founded in 2012 from a simple belief that coffee can be a catalyst for connection in our community, at a collective table. The name "Convive" comes from Latin, meaning "a fellow banqueter/comrade at a table" as a noun and "to feast or drink together" as a verb, perfectly embodying their philosophy.
Their mission centers on creating spaces that invite fellow table-dwellers out from technological and societal boundaries, living out the definition "to feast and drink, together," with coffee serving as the invitation. Convive is deeply rooted in community connection, expressing their desire to hear about customers' days, weeks, ups and downs, creating an atmosphere where everyone feels welcomed at their collective table.
The company brings each guest the unique experience of tasting seasonally fresh coffees of dynamic origin through expert sourcing, sampling, and small-batch roasting from farmers who are passionate about innovative processing methods. They prioritize building coffee teams of roasting professionals and baristas who value the education and practice of their craft, demonstrating their commitment to quality and expertise in every aspect of their operation.
Convive operates four locations throughout the Pittsburgh area: McCandless, Mars, Lawrenceville, and North Shore, plus a vintage French coffee truck that brings their coffee anywhere. They've expanded their service to include comprehensive catering, having served on airport runways, under century-old oak trees, in glamorous lobbies, high-stakes board rooms, and wedding venues across the country. Their adaptable arrangement allows them to serve both intimate gatherings and large events.
The company offers convenient subscription services with options for every two weeks or every four weeks, starting at $30, making their carefully crafted coffee accessible to regular customers. Their Mars location features a drive-thru lane dedicated to mobile orders, showing their commitment to convenience while maintaining quality.
Their hope is that everyone in their community finds a place at the table with the perfect cup of coffee, emphasizing their core belief that coffee creates connection and community in an increasingly disconnected world.
