I got a hot honey vanilla latte and a chocolate chip cookie and it was amazing. The baristas were really sweet. Really impressed and 100% will come back.

Consistently one of the best espresso places in Pittsburgh. Perfect cappuccino almost every time.The owner understands espresso tradition deeply, and it shows. I believe they roast their own beans as well.Also, the interior is absolutely lovable, the staff is usually great, and the owner is a stand-up guy.

Yes it’s a coffee shop. No wifi . Good selection of baked goods. I got an iced tea. It was good! You don’t get to pick the iced tea flavor, it’s a premade item, but also I understand that a place called ESPRESSO ☕️ -a-Mano! isn’t too focused on their tea preparation. They have a nice hot tea menu though.

One of the best coffee shops in the city. I need to go there more often. They make great mocha and really yummy masala chai (or as so many of us Americans call it chai tea 😆).

As an Iced Coffee lover, I was highly impressed with their cold brew. Pastry selection looked delicious too. Quick friendly service and artistic coffee shop vibes.

Really good coffee. I had the best cortado and pastries. It is a good study spot, but unfortunately, they close early and they do not have wifi inside the shop.

Fantastic espresso, nice atmosphere, friendly staff. I loved visiting here with my friends, Ill definitely be back!

Love this place. Best cold brew in town and awesome people working there

Best iced chai latte I’ve had in my life. Customer service was A+ too !!

I really like this place. People are really nice. Probably one of my favorite coffee places in Pittsburgh. They make delicious and beautiful looking lattes. Their coffee itself if you want to get just a black coffee is not that great. However theyre like these are amazing. The staff are super friendly here.

Everyone knows I love my coffee, but everyone also knows my favorite coffee shop is Espresso A Mano 😭😭😭 Their mochas are literally the best in Pittsburgh and I am still to this day, very picky with my mochas and chai lattes. But their chai lattes are really good as well 😭Overall, just an amazing place with a marvelous staff, amazing food/snacks, and comfy atmosphere.I love it. ❤️ thank you!

My wife absolutely loved the Maple Cinnamon Latte. (Hot) It was prepped to perfection. My wife and I were celebrating our 3 year anniversary! After going to Piccolo Forno for dinner, we stumbled upon this coffee shop. We will definitely go back in the future!!

One of my favorite places in Pittsburgh. I would walk 1000 miles for this coffee :D

Just what the doctor ordered! Espresso is what I needed, and espresso is what they have. Espresso A Mano was quick service and they make a great latte. Cool space and friendly staff. Would go back.

Love the coffee! Perfect hangout!

Hearty sandwiches with friendly staff

So good and great staff. There was a line and they took the time with me since it was first time there. And I got a beautiful design on my drink.

Amazing Chai Latte, one of the best Ive had. Great low key atmosphere to get work done or chill. Theyve turned me into a regular

Perfectly crafted latte with friendly staff and baristas. Great environment to get work done, enjoy a coffee, and hang out with friends.

This place is cute. There are sliding doors in the summer and some outdoor seating. They have comfortable seating and sturdy tables. The coffee is good, but I think its overpriced. Pretty comparable to Starbucks pricing.

Food was amazing. Dine in wasnt an option . Menu was unique and had a variety of healthy food options to choose from. Waitress was very friendly. Left there pretty satisfied. Would go back and I definitely recommend

Best coffee in town 👌👌

Fatantastic atmosphere. Excellent cortados. And the hand pies are super tasty. Highly recommend

Good local coffee shop,espresso was not bad,not bitter,thick, unfortunately you can’t get pour over here because they don’t make it, that’s weird, the service was good,clean and pleasant,restroom was clean,parking on the street,after 6pm it’s a free,highly recommendFree WiFi,good place for do some job

Great coffee. Always consistent. But stop it with the crappy 80s pop music.

Yummy food, delicious coffee. Limited seating considering how busy it is, but I had a table before the rush so whatevs!

Grat taste and body its amazing how blend a lot flavor With coffee

Awesome drinks! I was thoroughly impressed with my sassy molasses

Best espresso drinks in Lawrenceville. Seating could be better (more seating, couches, more outdoor tables maybe?)

Best Shot in Pittsburgh! I love this place, warm & friendly customers & staff.

Great space inside and out. Quality coffee, friendly staff.

Really great coffee and atmosphere, but very crowded, even on a weekday at 2pm. Wish they had more tables.

Best coffee Ive ever had. And they make it beautiful as well.

Very hip spot. Coffee selection caters to all except there are no super fancy frapps and such.Lots of students and just people on laptops on general.They dont have individual 4 top tables so my group of 4 couldnt sit together on a nice weekend. We could have pushed two tables together but they were quite rare as the turnaround on some tables were quite slow.Overall, great spot for espresso. 100% enjoyed my drink.

Getting a beautifully crafted latte at Cafe a Mani is a great way to start your day. The assortment of pastries are delicious and it is hard to choose which one will become your new favorite. Enjoy people watching while sitting in cafe surrounded by industrial brick walls and ever changing local art gallery. If you take your coffee to go, be sure to check out the local shops along Butler Street.

Best coffee and scones Ive ever had!

Awesome little coffee shop, great staff and tasty coffee.

I give the coffee here 10 stars! By far the best coffee in Pittsburgh - that Ive had at least. The atmosphere is meh. If this place was larger and brighter and had more seating Id probably be here every day of the week. But for coffee (and thats the reason were here, hence the 5-stars), theres no better place.

Skilled baristas making great coffee. Well priced bagged coffee beans from great roasters like Counter Culture available and always fresh

The staff is AMAZING! Kind, friendly and provide the perfect neighborhood atmosphere. Not only do they know you by name but they know your drink and make it for you when you walk in the door without having to ask. They really care about their customers. The food and drinks are great but the people are what make it special.

Although Espresso A Mano is generally quite busy because it is so popular, you never feel rushed. The staff is excellent, and they treat each customer with good humor and a smile. The drinks are delicious and are clearly made with care. Many remote workers and entrepreneurs work at Espresso A Mano, so I have found the atmosphere to swing between very loud (when lots of groups are having meetings) and dead silent (when everyone is working on individual projects).

Great prices and a wide range of menu items - lattes, just a damn good cup of coffee, locally-baked croissants, yerba matte cans to go, etc. Plus theyre friendly, welcoming coffee people!

I went here after a very long time.I know the owners and it was great to see one of them still working behind the country.Good coffee, nice environment and always packed.

This place was warm and inviting. The staff was friendly and the music was fantastic. The tables were nice, however they could get some more comfortable chairs.

Best coffee in the steel city.

Best coffee shop Ive ever been to. Tastiest coffee, friendly staff, great vibes. I liked the background music too. I came here every morning during my 3 day stay in Pittsburgh. I miss this place and think about it often.

Not only was the coffee great but the service was fast and appropriate safety precautions were taken!

Theyre back slinging caffeine and still just as good as ever. Excellent quality and plenty of options.

Good coffee and croissants

As of 07/19/2020 this place is closed assuming that it is due to COVID-19. Displayed that it was open on google but we got there and it has closed. :(

Great shop. Had a personal meeting even though the shop was full. I will be back. Quiet and warm lots of natural surfaces. Beautiful wood.

The best! Support Matt and his team 💙

Love this coffee shop in Lawrenceville. Delicious coffee- inviting atmosphere. The baristas are exceptionally friendly and they team up with Reed&Co so they have vegan breakfast and savoury options to snack on!

Really nice place to come on a weekend and just sit and do some work on the laptop.There’s not many outlets in the place, so seats near outlets are coveted, but if you can’t get get a seat there are standing desk/counters built into the back of the place.They don’t have many food options, but what they have is great (croissants are superb)Espresso and coffee are top notch. Coffee snobs will be pleased.One of my favorite places in PGH. Highly recommend.

One of the best espressos in the city. Very basic coffee shop but they know what they are good at and stick to it.

The owner is a terrific man. The employees, even from day 1, have always been awesome and tentative. Very clean, very nice establishment. Does tend to get populare. That is because of it being a great establishment.

The vampire boy who served me was quite wonderfull. The dead look his eyes really set the mood. At first I was frightened and afraid I was going to be turned. However he was very friendly and made an amazing drink.

Love it here. The espresso drinks are all good, the employees are friendly and willing to answer any questions you might have, and each latte is accompanied by latte art, even to-go orders, what a nice touch! They also have a decent selection of pastries if you need something to go with your coffee.We live walking distance so we normally just pop in for a to-go coffee, but it is always quite busy inside with people working and chatting. If you are planning to come here to get some work done, come early! The tables go fast.

Amazing lattes and excellent pastries (the almond croissant is my favorite). The baristas are friendly and the atmosphere mellow. Love it.

Great Place...Awesome Rosy Lee & Molten Toffee...the Bagels & Quiche are spot on deadly-as well.]..The owner dude is as cool as a fan.His staff provides the best service.I get Molten Toffee & eats here a few times a week.For those that cannot decipher my verbiage...look to Cooney rhymes

I absolutely love Espresso A Mano, it is the perfect place for working or reading - get here early on a nice day because the tables will fill up. The garage-door style window opens when the weather is nice which is a bonus to the already great vibe and the staff that are always nice. My only complaint about this coffee shop is that the soy lattes and soy cappuccinos often taste burnt/ they just dont taste great - but the coffee is fantastic and just because they dont serve the greatest soy drinks doesnt mean I wont be back.

Awesome little coffee shop with super good coffee. Great place to meet a friend and talk.

Went here for the first time today. The staff was super friendly, the atmosphere was warm, and most importantly, the coffee was REALLY good. I had a small decaf latte with two pumps of vanilla syrup and it was one of the best lattes Ive ever had. The only thing I would wish for is more seating, but honestly, for a coffee shop, the seating is plentiful -- its just that theyre popular, so an empty seat was hard to come by.

The coffee is good but 450 for a 12oz iced coffee is a bit much Starbucks dont charge that much and u get unlimited vanilla shots also I would never have supported this bussiness they r supporting protesting and no police and supporting bail for protesters not ok

Great local spot for good coffee. They have dairy free alternatives for the lattes as well, and some specials that rotate out. The staff is very friendly and helpful in answering any questions you may have

One of my favorite coffee shops in the city! Everything they make here is top notch. The staff is super friendly, and are eager to chat with you and learn your name and order. But be warned, the place is almost always crowded. There may not be a table open, but dont let that deter you.

Espresso A Mano is great! I work a few doors down at Disappearing Ink so I stop by too much for my own good. Everyone who works there is a delight and the coffee/treats are delicious.

The very best. The detail in preparation of your favorite espresso drink is evident by the final products taste, aroma and the crowd here is amazing.

Got a quad oatmilk cortado and it was wonderful. Very pleasant baristas as well. Definitely will return.

If you’re stopping in for a good coffee, go here. Staff are friendly, service is fast- however, if you want a relaxing, quiet, spacious place to work- go up the street to ineffable ca phe.

Wonderful selection of coffees and baked goods. Friendly staff with great music selection playing in the background. It is always busy, but doesnt get too loud to work. Popup restaurants appear in the back sometimes.

Espresso a Mano offered me a welcoming vibe to Pittsburgh after 10 years living in LA. Ive visited espresso a Mano 3 times since relocating and the staff and coffee come in equal caliber... 5 stars. Whether you are looking for a quick break or a respite from the daily grind... Espresso A Mano will revitalize the creative soul and stands a gem on Butler street.

Quirky cool and not Starbucks. Coffee was good, service quick and friendly. Easy to find, and surprisingly easy to park at 11 on a Sunday morning!

Why didnt know this place earlier. Coffee should be good at the coffee shop like Espresso a Mano! Espresso a Mano has the one of the best coffee in Pittsburgh. Staffs were all friendly. You will feel welcomed every time you visit Espresso a Mano.

A relaxing little place. Friendly service and a delicious cappuccino.

Great coffee shop. Can be quite hard to find a table so be advised. They specialize in espresso drinks, no pour overs here. But their espresso drinks sure are good!

The owner makes you feel welcome and wanted here, the staff are down to earth and the coffee is done right - Italian style.

If you’re stopping in for a good coffee, go here. Staff are friendly, service is fast- however, if you want a relaxing, quiet, spacious place to work- go up the street to ineffable ca phe.

Such nice service. Couldnt decide between a cheese danish and a ham and cheese croissant. Got both. Both were great, but I think the ham and cheese was my favorite. Drinks were enjoyed all around.

Best Coffee in Pittsburgh! Go now!

Visiting the city and met an old friend there. Great coffee and atmosphere. Comfortable.

Upscale coffee shop, with very good prices. I just had wished it had more seating. It was so packed that I couldnt find a place to sit down. But if a place is that PACKED.....ya know the deliciousness is spot on! And it is here. Also a selection of baked goods.

Best cap I have had in a very long time!

Stopped in for a cortado after my haircut and it was fantastic. Decently quick service, amazing pricing for the quality of the drink and friendliness of the staff. Definitely a worthwhile visit for any espresso drinker.

They had the garage door front open even though theres super loud construction across the street. I couldnt stay longer than 5 minutes.Usually this is a nice chill spot, and the construction is not their fault; its just disconcerting.

This place gets it. Delicious coffee served with a speed and precision and a warm, comfortable atmosphere. This is the only place I go to for coffee outside of the home, and couldnt be happier about it.

They specialize in espresso and they do it well! Counter culture and Coava on the regular, new guest roaster every month. One of the three coffee places in Pittsburgh I can walk in knowing Ill get a good shot every time-- an aspect that shouldnt be understated.

I have to claim that this is my favorite place for coffee. For everywhere! Other local shops are nice but the beans they use, and how they foam their drinks is excellent each and every time. They also have great bakery treats from local bakeries so its an excellent addition (usually they have a few vegan options too).

Very bitter espresso, first time customer... Cream and sugar did not even make it enjoyable, unfortunately.Atmosphere is very calming and nice though, with fast and friendly service so we did not complain. Hopefully it was just over bad Brew. Worth another trip in the future.

Loved this small coffee shop, felt so cozy sipping on my cappuccino and enjoying a delicious brownie. Thank you for the great experience!

Really good coffee but not enough seating. Had to stand for a meeting. Would be nicer if there were more seating or if every customer didnt take up an entire table to themselves.

Lovely coffee shop! Very nice and friendly staff.

Another favorite coffee shop of min in Pittsburgh, I remember when Espresso A Mano opened, and theyve stayed true to their roots:Great, carefully crafted coffee, with fresh super delicious locally baked goods made fresh.We had an Americano, latte and pumpkin spice doughnut.... Absolutely amazing. Perfect place to sit and talk, or study. The part of Butler street is close enough to the shops to go out for the day and still get a great cup, but just far enough that the outside seating area is quiet and relaxing.

Great atmosphere!Service was friendly and helpful!Coffee & breakfast we had was delicious too!

Best Cafe Mocha in Pittsburgh!!! Come all the way from Beaver County, ~20 miles, for a cup.

The best coffee in Pittsburgh is served here. Finding a free table is not easy, especially on weekends. Staff are most welcoming. Best time is early afternoon on a work day.

Everything you could want or need in a coffee shop + amazing staff.

Decent coffee. Friendly service. Good spot for visiting folks to people watch in a hipster Pittsburgh spot. Great for working as there are plugs and Wi-Fi. Tables do get snapped up though.

Sweet little cozy coffee shop... often busy. I would say top three coffee joints in town... up there with La Prima. Very European feel.

Bonus points for the selection of coffee beans (Verve and Forty-Ninth Parallel) but minus points for the over-crowded atmosphere. Its a bit of a pretentious scene. Navigating from the drink counter to a table is tough, as is getting to the bathroom from a table. The chocolate chip cookie was greasy, but admittedly some folks prefer that.No complaints about the coffee drinks themselves. If you just need a solid espresso drink to go and dont mind waiting in line, this place is fine.
