In short, they nailed getting me my caffeine fix! I walked in around 9am on a Sunday morning and was able to walk right up to the counter and order. The young woman who took care of me was very nice, friendly! I ordered a large iced coffee with almond milk (there was an upcharge for adding non-dairy milk). I was happy with the amount of ice to coffee - More coffee than ice, I was a very happy guy! I did see their food menu but had already grabbed (free) breakfast at the hotel I was staying at, but I would love to try one of their sandwiches if, when I'm in Jamestown again. Inside was spacious and clean, with several tables & chairs as well as a long table along the exterior window, perfect for people watching. I noticed a couple tables and chairs outside in front as well. Crown Street Roasting Company is a solid, local coffee shop with young, friendly staff and solid options to get your caffeine fix, as well as an appetizing breakfast food menu.

My favorite thing on the menu is the turkey and bacon sandwich, which comes with lettuce, tomato, and apricot jam on your choice of bagel. It's a perfect balance of sweet and salty and big enough to share if you're looking for a lighter start to your day. On this most recent trip my husband ordered the apricot and feta toast along with the pollinator latte, which I think was a seasonal special. The toast comes with dried rosemary that was a little heavy handed for my tastes, but he loved it. The latte had honey and lavender in it, a bee's dream. Highly recommend this spot to anyone in the area.

Not only they serve variety of freshly brewed coffee for you to choose from, I also tried the hot latte and it tasted good, if I remember it correctly, they use the 'Black Pearl' coffee bean for all espresso drinks. 'Breakfast with Elvis' is the most popular for regular brew there, according to the staff. They have a wall packed with coffee beans and they offer 20+ kinds of beans to choose from, from single origins, organic to specialty coffee. Breakfast bagels, cupcakes and cookies are offered there along with fruit smoothies if you are only dragged there by your coffee lover friends, but you prefer something else. There are 2 rooms for customers to enjoy food and drinks there with the cozy coffeeshop vibes. I would definitely go back there again to try different brews and lattes. The staff who took care of me was super nice and welcoming. I love how Erie has so many hidden gems that when driving by, you have no idea you are missing such a great place to visit.

This shop is located in downtown Meadville right on Chestnut Street and close to Diamond Park Square. The shop itself is both cute and spacious. It has a display case full of pastries, a counter to order from, and plenty of seating. Towards the back are bathrooms and a small area for children to color. You can also see a roaster through some plexiglass. I wasn't sure if they actually used it, but it was still cool to see it there. For my coffee on this morning I went with one of their specialty lattes, a hot BNB, while my wife went with an iced mocha. The menu described mine as sweet cream butter and brown sugar melted together to make an extra rich, extra creamy, mildly sweet latte. As my drinks were being made, the fluffernutter scone also caught my attention, so I purchased it after the fact. It was still the first thing that I ate, though, and I thought it was pretty good. The marshmallow was on top, and while it was sticky, it was a nice addition to the somewhat indulgent peanut butter scone underneath it. The scone definitely packed a large peanut butter punch, although it was on the drier side, even for a scone. After that I was able to try my coffee and thought that it was pretty flavorful. The coffee itself was bold and came through strong and beautifully. The butter and brown sugar flavors were a bit muddled, though. If anything, the extra creaminess, which almost felt like a silky cream, was probably the biggest contribution from the butter. My wife did enjoy hers, especially the chocolate and coffee flavors coming through. The bottom line for me is that I would stop by here again in the future. I love that Meadville has this charming coffee shop, and I will be back for both coffee and baked goods.

The sisters who run the place are creating something special.
