Cute! Excellent espresso and they make their own syrups! The coffee syrups are made in house, aside from the sugar free options. This is a sure way to get bonus points in my book! A homemade syrup goes great lengths. I had the homemade raspberry in a mocha and it was absolutely delicious, rich, and divine while still being able to actually taste the espresso/coffee flavors. This is just the way a perfectly crafted latte should be in my opinion. Space is small, standing room only inside. More of a grab and go situation. The man working on the Sunday morning I stopped in was friendly, quick, and efficient. Service wasn't the quickest since there was a small line inside and only one person working, but this was not an issue for a Sunday morning coffee stop where I was willing to take my time! read more

This was my first visit to the Verona location after having been to their Ellsworth Ave shop, and it lived up to what I expect from Mechanic. Parking was easy with 2 hour street parking right nearby, which made this a low-stress stop. I was greeted by festive holiday decor when I walked in, which made the space feel warm and inviting. There are a few small tables outside for nicer weather, and inside there are three high tables meant for standing only, so it is more of a grab and go spot than a place to linger. I ordered my usual iced London Fog with almond milk. It took a few minutes to brew as expected. While waiting, I looked around and noticed a limited selection of pastries like scones, plus a small fridge with to-go sandwiches. Along one wall they also had branded merch and coffee brewing equipment for sale. Overall, this is a solid neighborhood coffee shop with quality drinks and a streamlined setup. read more

I won a friendly bet with a buddy at work on the Leechburg vs Clairton Game. The loser of the bet had to buy the winner a cup of coffee during the week. I won the bet and was told I would be getting a coffee from Mechanic Coffee in Verona. I got a vanilla hot. It was good and tasted fresh. I enjoyed the coffee, but the sweet taste of winning the bet was even better! read more

Former Penn Hills resident from the early 90's to early aughts. If you would've told me a place like this would open up in Penn Hills/Verona, I would've told you you were losing your mind. Delicious coffee, solid espresso pulls, and a really vibrant, never ending stream of fun locals and familiar faces coming in throughout the day. I will say that their pastries are a bit meh, which seems to be due to living so far away from a lot of popular bakery routes. But other than that, this is a standout shop and I can't wait to come back. read more

Mechanic Coffee - Espresso and window seating area - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Verona, Pennsylvania

Nice coffee shop in Verona! There's street parking available all around. The staff was super friendly and greeted me as soon as I walked in. They have a lot of coffee-making related items for sale as well as some merch and small trinkets from local artists. There were three standing tables and then 2 or 3 seats at the "bar" so it's not a shop you can really work at or hang out at. I ordered my go to - iced vanilla latte with oat milk. It wasn't the best I've ever had but it was pretty good. They have a small selection of pastries, oatmeal, etc. Would definitely stop again! read more

Mechanic Coffee - the outside of a coffee shop - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Verona, Pennsylvania

Not the first time and definitely not the last one! They have a small yet cool storefront, I like it! Got a iced latte with almond milk this time and it was delicious. I think it has a rather sour than bitter type of flavor (don't quote me on this, I'm not an expert by any means ) They also have a fridge of canned nitro cold brew, and they are no joke! It's a little pricy ($5 each I believe), but worth it. Check them out if you love nitro ones as I do ;) read more

Mechanic Coffee - Cold Brew - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Verona, Pennsylvania

I was excited to try this place after working in the area for years and hearing about it. I was thoroughly disappointed. First thing that caught me off guard was the menu seemed basic yet confusing. I was unsure how to order since there was no specific place saying iced or hot options (flavors on a smaller less obvious 8x10 menu) I went with a basic iced macchiato with sugar free caramel which gravely confused the barista. Her response seemed pretentious and made me feel uncomfortable like I did something wrong. She was like "are you looking for like a Starbucks type caramel drink I'm just trying to figure out what you want since macchiato drinks have steamed milk and two shots of espresso?" I was confused why it was difficult to make that iced which is an easy swap for frothed or cold milk...anyways she had to call another lady over who proceeded to tell me "how we do things here are more basic." I ended up with a latte instead which was their suggestion (like I didn't know what I wanted) and I was already embarrassed by this point so I agreed to their suggestions even though I wanted a layered iced macchiato. I literally ordered the 3rd thing on the menu iced it wasn't difficult and I get macchiatos this way everywhere I go; even smaller coffee shops. I felt like I was in an episode of Portlandia and I didn't care for what their "moto" was and their responses made me feel like I was a phony in a business full of coffee purists, what a pretentious type of vibe. Also there was no seating! Three seats all occupied by regulars pounding away on their Mac books, 3 standing tables with no seats, with one women standing up on her Mac book. I'm sorry if all your other clientele are doing sit down activities it might be an indication that people want to sit. I stood there, several months pregnant embarrassed and over heated with no where to put my jacket I stood for about 3 minutes trying to give it a chance but I told my husband I needed to go. I just wanted to have a chat with my husband and relax for 5 minutes but it was so sterile. Also the coffee was so incredibly bitter and sour :( I won't be back but hey they have decent branding and merchandising however; no stand out visuals or vibrancy. Their atmosphere is as boring as their coffees and they are purposefully eliminating a whole selection of people by not offering basic accommodations. read more

This place is great! Great equipment, great coffee, and great baristas. One unique thing about this shop is that they sell home brewing equipment which is neat because you are buying from experts who know how to work the equipment. Not a lot of space inside, but a cool shop and nice sidewalk seating outdoors. read more

Granted we showed up 20 minutes before closing, we were not offered chai tea that had been offered with coffee passport and noted in previous yelp reviews. We also were not told the WiFi password because it was 10 minutes until closing. This was probably why the tea took more than 5 minutes to make and served in a very small cup. The latte was ok. read more

A cute hidden gem in Verona! Located off the main road by the train tracks, it took me an awkwardly long time to know it was there. It is a smaller place and very simple and clean decor. I ordered my usual favorite, a soy chai latte. This time, I asked for almond milk (which was organic) as sometimes I've noticed it's creamier. Lightly sweet, it had a very pleasant spiced taste without being overbearing. The barista decorated the top with a star made of spice (cinnamon maybe?) which I thought was really cute! I loved it and will come back. read more

I stopped here to grab a coffee and do some work while I had a couple hours in between shoots. At first glance when I parked I thought, this place is cool! I walked in and it had such a great little vibe. Mechanic Coffee looks exactly the way you'd expect it to inside. I ordered an iced coffee (cold brew), the barista was very pleasant and kind. I only waiter 3-4 mins for my drink even thought the place is full of people. I got my drink and added some half and half. After the first sip I was convinced this might just be the best iced coffee I've ever had? So I had another drink and it was confirmed. Best iced coffee I've ever had. I don't live that close to this place BUT I would 100% make a trip out here to just have this coffee again. Stop by sometime you won't be disappointed. Ask for Rachel if you want the best cold brew in the burgh! read more

As a resident of Verona, I always wanted to try out mechanic coffee, and last Sunday, I was finally able to do just that. The decor was simple, yet inviting, and my coffee was served with a delicious blend over ice in a matter of minutes. Price wise, this place was much more affordable than the larger chains, and the barista's were very knowledgeable and friendly. I am definitely looking forward to my next cup at this place! read more

I love it here. I love that it's in the heart of Verona, and I love that it's easily accessible as you're traveling towards Oakmont or towards the city. The staff is so friendly and caring - and I will admit, one barista named CiCi made me the most incredible drink I've had in a long time: lavender earl grey latte. That alone is worth the visit! Seating is limited, so plan accordingly if you were hoping to come with a group! I'm especially excited because they just started to do their own roasting and their espresso blend is UNBELIEVABLE. read more

I was extremely excited at the thought of having a quant coffee shop nearby, unfortunately this might just be the first and last visit from me. Location: off of Allegheny River Blvd. On Verona across the bandstand. Easy to find, free street parking. Venue: cute seats ~10 or so inside with out door seating as well. Retro yet eclectic vibe. Coffee/Price: let me start off by saying, I love coffee, lattes, espressos etc. I'm willing to drive for good quality coffee and am even tickled when it's at a reasonable cost. So, I ordered a small (8 oz) latte with a shot of Carmel Favor (hey, why not- I was in the mood ). This child size drink cost me $4.01?! I thought well that's absurd but was willing to suck it up, after all I was already there and I thought well in that case the flavor will be out of this world. Boy was I wrong. I left with my drink (hindsight I should have tasted it prior to leaving), about 1/2 mile down the road I started sipping on my drink - it wasn't worth even $1. It was bitter and I couldn't even taste the flavor I paid extra for. I was left filling ripped off. I hope this was an isolated incident. read more

I don't find myself in Verona often, but I came out the other day just to give this place a try, since one of my friend's is a big fan. I had an almond milk latte- it was very good. The girl working was super nice and gave my pup a puppucino- his first one. He, of course, loved it. This shop is adorable and right next to a nice walking trail. Can't wait to come back and try some more drinks. read more

This is my first time at this coffee shop and I was thoroughly impressed by the customer service. I am not a coffee person but I accompanied my friend (who is a coffee person) to this shop. Neither he nor I had been here before but the shop itself was cute and smelled quite nice. Because I know nothing about coffee, I ordered a mocha with sugar free vanilla syrup in it. I cannot eat sugar but I was not aware that mochas were made with a sweet syrup. I should have disclosed this to the nice lady when I ordered. When I tasted the coffee, it was incredibly delicious! But I usually get skeptical when things taste that good because they usually have sugar in them. I asked the barista and she tried to calculate the grams of sugar for me but there was some uncertainty. In the end, they offered me a different drink, refunded my original coffee and provided excellent customer service in the process. They didn't have to do any of that but they went above and beyond! I might have to start drinking coffee more! read more

Mechanic Coffee - a cup of coffee on a table - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Verona, Pennsylvania

I stopped by here earlier today with my wife for our morning coffee. We had never been to Mechanic Coffee before but we had purchased the Pittsburgh Coffee Passport and it was on there and so we decided to head over. It's located on railroad street in Verona right near, you guessed it, the railroad with two tables outside. It's cute inside with some bar seating as well as a few tables. There's definitely a feminine touch to the place as there are some flowers on the tables and the colors give it that feel. Lastly there were also some great looking pastries and cakes on the counter that are for sale. For coffee on this morning I decided to go with a latte while my wife went with a cappuccino. My first sip of the latte was a little bitter but it soon smoothed out. After that first sip I really enjoyed it as it was a nicely made latte. My wife enjoyed her cappuccino as well and we both enjoyed sitting outside with the relative peacefulness of railroad street. The bottom line for me is that I would come back here again in the future. My coffee was good and I enjoyed hanging out here. read more

This place is right next to the railroad, on a really cute street. I got a chai latte and a biscotti. Both were delicious. The coffeeshop itself is a bit small. It can probably only accommodate 12 people or so. Maybe it's not the best place to do work. I came with my laptop, and it took over the entire tabletop. The table was also too low with a laptop. I would totally come here to read or for conversations though. They use a lot of dried flowers as decor, which I thought was charming. There was one barista when we came on a Sunday afternoon. She was friendly and service was prompt. read more

First time coming into this store I was greeted by such friendly people on both sides of the counter. It felt like some family reunion of sorts with so many conversations worth having with so many amazing people. I was hesitant to order the single origin espresso because they had 4 different espresso options, but they did not disappoint. My iced americano was god tier. I assumed it was a stroke of luck but after trying all of their other espresso options, I realized they just hired an amazing staff of baristas dedicated to excellency. Their drip coffee and cold brew are also amazing. I could go on and on about all of the many things this shop does so well. Every time I go back I look forward to trying something new, knowing wholeheartedly that whatever I try is going to blow me away all over again. I started wearing sandals to mechanic coffee because I couldn't keep getting my socks knocked off. Everyday I try to fit them into my schedule, lest I go home feeling like a part of me is missing. I can't wait to have me another juicy delicious cuppa from ye ol mechanic cafecito. read more

A cool spot in Verona. The location is nice, modern and clean though today it was dead silent in there, it was a little awkward just standing there. I think a little light background music would help with the ambience. I've been here twice and both times the service was pretty slow but I think that's an homage to the time they take with their products. That being said, I probably wouldn't go here if I was in any sort of rush. Their coffee is great though and reasonably priced. This place is definitely worth a visit. read more

Who knew there was great coffee to be found in Verona! I found this gem on my coffee passport (http://coffeepassportpgh.com) They serve excellent espresso drinks from Commonplace with pastries provided by Enrico Biscotti Company. The cafe is a quiet, well-lit spot in Verona just off Allegheny blvd. There with plenty of on-street parking and beats trekking into town if you live on the east side. read more

A gem of a coffeehouse; the perfect example of a small town success. I traveled through town in the morning, got an Americano that was nicely blended and served hot. On my way out of town I stopped for a vanilla latte that did not disappoint. I worked on emails and finished reports at the bar area, had 3 meaningful conversations with locals, and treated myself to an almond cranberry cookie, San Pellegrino orange drink, and a slice of artisan olive and basil bread. I appreciate how the shop supports other local shops- the bakeries that supply the baked goods and cookies, and features local artists' work. Coffee is roasted at just a few miles away, and available for on-site sale. I got the Costa Rica single source and cannot wait to share it at home. read more

Cute coffee shop in Verona, PA. The shop is exceptionally clean and decorated very well. Went on a Saturday morning, so the only food left was biscotti. The menu is super simple, no frills and straight to the point (good for me because I'm very indecisive). It was $3.50 for a latte with syrup, not a bad price! Only one worker so it took a little longer to order and receive our drinks. But, she was helpful in answering questions we had! Overall, cute place and good coffee. Will most likely go back! read more
