text: What a delight!\n\nMy husband and I were in my hometown for Christmas, and ventured out on our third date since the birth of our son.  I was so excited to check out Lawrenceville for the first time, and couldn't wait to show my foodie husband that Pittsburgh can do sophisticated with the best of them.  Before dinner, we stopped at Espresso A Mano because I heard it was the best coffee shop in Pittsburgh.\n\nI was so surprised when we stepped up to the counter and the barista greeted me by my maiden name!  Thirteen years after we were on the high school track team together, Matt recognized me.  Man, he is good with names!  It was fun to catch up, and I'm so proud to see a fellow McKeesport alum being such a success.  \n\nMy decaf, almond milk latte (for my nursing son's benefit) was surprisingly rich in coffee flavor, and was served up without a hint of pretension.  I remember singing along to the music, and loved the exposed brick walls.\n\nGood people.  Good coffee.
