Espresso A Mano - Dormont
1412 Potomac Ave, Pittsburgh, PA
Crema's Take
“Espresso A Mano is a tiny Dormont gem that takes its espresso seriously, pulling some of the best cappuccinos in Pittsburgh with the precision and care of traditional Italian coffee craft. Beyond the cup, their house-roasted beans like "No. 23" are worth buying whole to take home, and the small, calming space welcomes you in with genuine warmth despite its standing-room-only charm. Whether you're ordering a perfectly balanced mocha or a clean double shot, you'll find yourself coming back for the quality and the feeling of being part of something intimate and unpretentious.”

Incredible cappuccinos. The best I've found in Pittsburgh. The place is cute but it's also very small so not a lot of seating but 100% will come back even if I have to stand up while I drink my cappuccino
I think they roast the best beans in city to bring back to your own machine for lattes. Love trying all the different Pittsburgh roasters and comparing them… so far “No. 23” from here is my #1.
I feel so lucky to live just down the street from this coffee shop! My go-to order is a small mocha, and the 8oz is always perfectly balanced between slightly sweet chocolate and strong espresso. The staff are so friendly, and I love popping in when I need an afternoon pick me up when working from home or I want a drink to sip as I window shop on Potomac.
Very cute little space. Grabbed a small café au lait and sat inside. Prices are good, relatable to other spaces. Menu is small but covers the usuals, including espresso, tea, latte, and hot chocolate. No restrooms, and there's a low step to get in. Very friendly staff.
Great clean atmosphere. Very calming interior. Great coffee and whole beans. Friendly barista was greeted with a smile and felt welcomed. Bought two double shot espressos and two bags of whole beans. Very flavorful espresso. My husband and I will definitely be back. We live right up the street. Place was also packed when I came in and was immediately waited on. ♥️✨
