What a great shop right in Mt Oliver! I went here on a Saturday morning. The service was great, coffee was fresh, and the food was delicious. I had the iced americano, which came with an orange peel, which was excellent. I also had the savory crinkle with mushrooms and onions and it was very flavorful. I would highly recommend ECHT! read more

You could easily pass by this place without a second thought, but I'd advise against that! The inside is super cute and the staff are very friendly. I had one of the seasonal lattes - hazelnut maple. So creamy and there are little hazelnut pieces in there! Loved the wood and metal decor and all of the exposed parts of the building. The bathroom reminded me of a castle dungeon, in the best way. So cool! Would definitely recommend stopping in. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I had a mint latte, which wasn't yet in the menu and was fun to try. Amazingly, it had the perfect hint of mint and elevated the latte flavor. The industrial decor had welcoming touches. Everyone was very friendly. I will definitely be back to try the food and table service. On street parking was limited unless I missed a parking lot. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

The food was really well prepared and the coffee was also nice. The ambiance is very nice and transports you away from Pittsburgh.

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! read more

Owner, James & Chef Tevin & the staff have created a truly singular space with one of the top two breakfasts I have ever had. Really. The coffee is perfect, Chef Tevin's dishes truly are made to order, and you truly feel right at home as soon as you walk in the door. This also is a working metal shop and handmade tiles studio!!! Everything from shelves, light fixtures, doors, hardware is made on site. You are encouraged to wander throughout the building & can watch the artists at work. There is a small, intimate and just spectacular gem of a bar in the basement. Looking forward to checking that out as well, as they make their own spirits. Please patronize them today. It is more than worth the trip, and the "feast for the eyes" caps off a great start to the day. read more

One of the Best lattes and experiences at a coffee shop I've ever had happened today. @echt_coffeehouse can be found in Mount Oliver in the South Side of PGH. The staff was unbelievable - so friendly and attentive. I got a Carrot Cinnamon Cake latte and was just absolutely floored with how good it was. Literally one of the best lattes I've ever had, and I've had a lot of lattes. I got poached eggs in a glass with toast - so delicious. The scone and pear upside down cake were also amazing. They even made the whipped cream right then and there in front of me. I bought beans, and the wonderful owner told me they were roasted yesterday, and bagged them fresh for me. The space is beautiful, warm, and cozy! They truly do live up to their name...and you can tell everything is homemade with love and care. Even though I'm in the North Hills area, I will absolutely cross bridges and rivers for this shop. If you're in the area, or not and you want an amazing experience, food, and drink - go visit them asap!! read more

Food was superb. Coffee excellent. Great local place. Staff was friendly and efficient

We had great food and great coffee! The ambiance is part maker space and part warm inviting coffee house! My companion and I each had soup: I had the traditional chicken and dumpling and she had the house roasted carrot and fenell. The menu has Vegan, Vegetarian, and Meat-eater options. We continued with the house made savoury crinkle and the braised greens on grits (spicy!). We capped off our meal with two Expresso con Pannas and a grilled pound cake with fruit. Everything was delicious! Service was very attentive. You can see the maker space in the way to the single stall restrooms. All the interior metal work was custom made for the space. I should have taken note photos! Photos of the menu posted (also available on Clover Leaf). You've got to try the chicken and dumpling soup! read more

I will be returning to this establishment if we ever come back to this part of Pittsburgh. I was very impressed with the presentation, atmosphere and flavors that I experienced. I did notice the waitstaff didn't seem as attentive and didn't check on us many times when we were waiting, but that's okay because the flavors made up for it!! Get anything that has the gravy. I can still taste it on my tongue. It's very rich and makes you want to guess all the spices and ingredients. Very good food and fun drinks. read more

Drinks were fine and food was amazing. There seems to only be two kitchen staff, so it takes time to get an order. If you have sensory sensitivity to sounds, this is not the place for you. I am autistic and was so bothered by the noise I had to leave. The owners have a metal shop in the store which is super awesome, but I thought there'd be more of a barrier to the metal work than a curtain. Noise bothers me sometimes from a sensory perspective, but I never have had to leave before. Construction noises don't bother me if I'm expecting it, but if I ever return I will have to bring noise cancelling headphones. read more

From the outside, ECHT Coffee House doesn't look like much, but inside? Oh my. The owners husband is a metal worker (in fact his shop is attached next door) and he has beautifully crafted the interior with gorgeous chandeliers, and a stunning staircase. And speaking of beautifully crafting, my ginger orange latte was magnificent. Was that hand crafted ginger syrup I saw? The flavors were subtle so as not to overpower. The owner was sweet and patient with my daughter who 1) is not a morning person, and 2) has a communication disorder. The service was spectacular. The next time we are in town, these Missourians will be visiting! read more

I have been to ECHT a number of times now and it never disappoints. The service could not be better and the staff makes you feel like you are special. I am a tea drinker and have had the pleasure of finding new teas that I was unaware of. The food is unique and flavorful. This is a hidden treasure in an unusual place. You must try this now before the word gets out and you can't get a table! read more
