Espresso a mano - 5 Points Bakery

I've been gone too long. Best espresso and now they're roasting their beans! Yummy!!!! Perfect start for the drive to Philadelphia!

Coffee and pastries. Pastries are wonderful, baked on premises. Some premade sandwiches at lunch. My favorite independent pastry stop.

I've been a couple of times in the morning and oh man the amount of pastry they have is incredible. My mouth watered as soon as I stepped inside. Delicious! I ordered an espresso without expecting much (I'm yet to find a good espresso in Pittsburgh) and it was better than most cafes but still ok. They could make the interior (and exterior a bit better): from the outside it looks permanently closed and inside it seems like it's under construction, maybe it is but it's not very welcoming. I'd say it's best for take out. The staff members were minding their own business and weren't really welcoming. So, no, I would not be choosing this café particularly to go regularly but if I'm in the area it could do. Things might change when and if they improve the indoor space.

Great spot for baked goods and coffee -- love the new space. But, don't block in the neighbors' garage with your car. Saw someone towed within 30 seconds of leaving their car!

One of the best bakeries in Pittsburgh. You can also get delicious sweet or savory treat and sip a cup of coffee or tea while working remotely. Parking is relatively easy to find on the street. Definitely recommend!

Went in for espresso and found a bakery that was worth the wait. I got a cortado with oat milk. It was very good. We bought a couple sandwiches, a baguette, a few baked treats, and a chocolate pecan pie. We may have gone a bit overboard but it was definitely worth it. The baguette had a crispy crust and was soft, airy, and chewy on the inside, perfect. The croissants were flaky and just delicious. Highly recommended.

What a great cortado! Hey y'all, Amano's in Squirrel Hill. Ty for 396K views! Was running errands and sought a cure for my 11am caffeine needs. Espresso Amano's second location is wide, spacious, and welcoming. I got myself a Cortado in a heavy, thick walled tumbler that was great. Half milk, half espresso awards you full wakefulness. If you'd like to find a place to have an unrushed conversation, get a window seat. If you got books, there's tables in the back. That's where I sat. Pastries look great. I've been to this place since they opened in Lawrenceville a few years ago. They're consistently excellent. Btw, if you have a sensitive stomach, I feel like they're using Latin American coffees. I got a triple. Normally I can put down three of these a day, but I had to skip one. They're expanding the window counter to a wall wraparound, so there's a little construction here and there. If the owner replies and lets me know what coffee they're adding, I'll add it to this review! Stay tuned from my upcoming newsletter as I canvas Pittsburgh, bringing you quick hits for good eats.

Super friendly staff, great coffee, no Wi-Fi. Great place to talk over a coffee and pastry (they get their cookies from Dianioa's). If you're looking to study here, setup a hotspot.
