    Cheers with Orange and Ginger Latte and the Espresso con Panna
    Lisa G.

    We recently ventured out to this hidden gem - and it was a delightfully unexpected experience. From the moment we walked through the door, we knew this place was something special. The decor was a quirky blend of vintage and modern, with funky furniture and window decor to the artwork for sale adoring the walls. It felt like stepping into an eccentric artist's living room. I like to try new flavor combos I've never seen before and selected the Orange Ginger Latte. Each sip was an enchanting journey of flavors, taking my taste buds on an unexpected adventure. As we sat at a cozy table with our unique coffee creations ( he had the Espresso con Panna) I couldn't help but smile at the whimsical atmosphere. magical ambiance. It was more than just a coffee shop; it was an unexpected adventure into a world of creativity and community. If you're looking for a coffee experience that goes beyond the ordinary, I highly recommend giving this delightful place a visit. It's a testament to the fact that sometimes the best things in life are the most unexpected ones.

    ECHT is a wonderful European style coffeehouse and welding art space. Everything is premium original quality. Excellent coffee.

    Cute place and very nice inside! You can tell they put a lot of effort and care into everything about this space- from the tables to the menu to their fun and unique coffee options. And the people were all friendly. Can't wait to go back. Good indoor seating options, they serve you at your table and we were able to sit and work for a while. Good quiet space to work but am also excited to take out of town friends here to sit and chat. Street parking but plenty of it.

    Poached is one of my favorite ways to have my eggs. ECHT Coffeehouse Lounge and Bistro has an Egg in a Glass that is simply a creative and artistic way to present my breakfast favorite. The glass has two perfectly poached eggs lightly covered with herbs and cracked pepper and warm butter. Then you can enjoy a cup of coffee with your meal. Did I mention that they have grits on the menu? Guess what? They do and I definitely recommend for breakfast or brunch or a nice business or casual meetup location. The decor and space is beautiful and relaxing. The service is great.

    Housemade orange soda

    What a delightful cafe in Mt. Oliver! Their menu is enticing and has plenty of both vegetarian and gluten-free options. My partner had the braised greens with grits and sausage, which she said was a little salty but would have gone well with eggs too. I had the eggs over sweet potatoes, which were also a little saltier than I would have made them yet delicious. I tried the house-made orange soda, a pricey novelty at $5.50 but made fresh for each guest. The space is interesting and the staff lovely, and we would have hung out with coffee and work, but they don't offer wifi, and one of us needed it. The street parking apparently requires quarters.

    Grits & Greens topped with Bacon

    A must experience coffee shop! After reading an article in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette about the soon to open Echt Coffee House I knew that my wife and I had to be there for their soft opening before they open to the public on Monday, February 28, 2022. The building that houses Echt is actually the former Mt. Oliver fire house in the 1920's which had fallen into severe disrepair before Jorg Gerlach purchased the 15,000 building to house a metal, wood and glass workshop in 2016 which he named Echt Contracting. As we walked inside the first thing I noticed was the absolutely beautiful stained glass windows! The space was incredible! From the custom handmade metal chandeliers to the handmade metal shelves. This is not your normal run of the mill coffee shop! We than explored the basement of the space to check out the soon to open distillery named Echt Liquor Lab. Once seated Jorg greeted us and handed us a menu. After much deliberation I chose a Macchiato and a Cinnamon Roll and my wife chose the Weekly Special Con Panna. It features espresso and house made whipped cream and is served with Artisanal Cacao Powder, Confectioner's Sugar and dried spice sprinkles. Both drinks are also served with a cup of Mineral Water, a small piece of chocolate and a small, powdered cookie. Let me just that I have never had coffee so flavorful like this before! It was truly an experience! Soon after we finished our coffee a woman sitting next to us ordered some food that smelled like heaven so we knew we had to order some as well. My wife ordered the Chicken and Dumpling Soup and I went with the Grits & Greens and topped it with chopped fried bacon. My dish was amazing and full of flavor! My wife thoroughly enjoyed her soup and commented that it was so good that she would buy it buy the quart! After we finished with our meal we just hung out for a while to just enjoy the space and take in the atmosphere. The word Echt, pronounced esht is the German adjective that means authentic (crafting), substantial (materials), true (surfaces), genuine (approach): sincere and honest which is very fitting because that is exactly the experience that Jorg and his partner James are providing to the community of Mt. Oliver! A truly authentic and genuine coffee house experience!

    The food and coffee is delicious. The service is excellent. The ambiance is creative and clean, great place!

    At Echt Coffeehouse -- Absolutely incredible place! So many things going on. Mind blowing food but you can tell why. The answer you can see in all the metal fabrication, glassworks, ceramic and everything it took to transform an old firehouse. A must visit when in Pittsburgh.

    Cool coffee spot in Mt Oliver. Sit down seating available and coffee and treats to go. I had their Simply Syrup Latte and it was so good. Very friendly and fun staff make the experience even better!!!

    Egg and Sausage Sandwich
    Ashley D.

    I decided to try on ECHT while I was waiting for my pup to get finished with her appointment at the groomers. I wanted a place where I could study a bit and get something delicious to eat, and ECHT did not disappoint. Both of the servers that I interacted with were fantastic and made sure that I didn't need anything. The ambiance was really nice, they had some slower throwbacks playing. And the food was AMAZING. Every bite I took of the breakfast sandwich was so flavorful and every sip of my mocha latte was the same. I'll definitely be back!

    A friend and I stopped here today for Sunday brunch after several recommendations. We were so impressed! The food/coffee was delicious and service was quick/great. Will definitely be back!

    Turkish Coffee
    Justine P.

    We had a nice experience at this coffee shop! It's more of a sit down experience with a cool style and fun vibe. Tried Turkish coffee for the first time! So cool! There was a little mix up with our food & we weren't able to eat there but I'm looking forward to going back to try!

    Wanted to take a picture but I inhaled it before I could

It has a roastery, bakery, and several cafes in Southwestern Pennsylvania, and it provides training and equipment to other businesses. My husband and I were customers of this cafe in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood one time. The menu listed coffees, espressos, lattes, teas, hot cocoa, cookies, muffins, scones, sandwiches, etcetera. A refrigerator contained yogurts, juices, oat milk, and other bottled beverages. Shelves held bags of coffees and kettles. Employees kindly took my husband's order and payment and promptly made our beverages. Some tables and chairs were inside the cafe, so we sat down to enjoy our beverages. Other customers were using the dining area to read, spend time with family and friends, and work on laptops. I rate the Chai Latte has 5 stars and the holiday Sugar Plum Latte as 4.5 stars. We enjoyed their flavors. Each beverage was 12 ounces, and their total price was $11 plus tax and tip. I did notice that the cafe was very humid because of the cold weather outside and the many customers inside. The windows had much condensation. I wonder if a dehumidifer would reduce the indoor humidity.

Its menu lists…read morebreakfast sandwiches (e.g., egg-cheese-bacon and Italian), waffles, pancakes, scramblers/omelets, salads (e.g., chicken and Pittsburgher fries), lunch sandwiches (e.g., burgers, BLT, and Isaly's frizzleburger), sides (e.g., grits, oatmeal, kielbasa, and pierogies), drinks (e.g., milks, juices, coffees, teas, and sodas), etcetera. The restaurant is open for breakfast and lunch, and recently it set late-night hours with a limited menu. My husband and I ate breakfast here one time. An employee promptly and courteously greeted us, gave us menus, took our order, and brought out our foods. Here are my ratings for what we ate: Steak Salad - 5 stars - This salad contained fresh iceberg lettuce, mozzarella cheese, fries, steak, hard-boiled egg, delicious tomatoes, and my choice of either grilled or raw vegetables. Banana's Foster Waffles - 5 stars - This waffle was topped with bananas and sweet syrup. Yinzer Omelet - 4 stars - This egg omelette contained American cheese, onion, chunks of pierogies, and my choice of meat of kielbasa. I prefer my pierogies and kielbasa separate from an omelette, but I appreciated trying this menu item. Egg-bacon-cheese bagel sandwich - 4 stars - For this classic egg-bacon-cheese sandwich, I chose a bagel bun for an upcharge. My husband usually loves this sandwich elsewhere but said that he did not like it here. I thought that it tasted good. I appreciated the generous amount of crispy bacon.

Two things more to keep in mind if you're considering going. - Space is SMALL. It's great, but it's small. So on a whim, might get lucky but realistically, any usual breakfast timing on a weekend, expect a wait but hopefully you're seated right away. - Also, cash only. Cash only and when we did the math on our what our meals said on the menu to how they were added up on the receipt, it was not one to one, either tax and/or they tipped themselves. Nothing that is like shellshocking because the prices as they are were generally fair. Just paid more than anticipated after we ordered and did the math.
