Join the Colony team!

Colony brings a unique cafe concept to the Downtown/Strip District area of Pittsburgh. With three lines of business, we offer guests the experience of a neighborhood coffee shop, an affordable wine bar, and a cat cafe. What's a cat cafe? We house in a separate area of the cafe (the ‘Cat Loft’) about a dozen adoptable cats with which guests can visit should they choose.

We're always looking for reliable, dedicated people to join our team. Email us your resume any time at info@colonlycafepgh.com.
