I was introduced to this place by a friend and am so happy I was. Everything is made in store and…read morethe owners are so lovely. I had the sea salt icecream, which sounds weird but DO IT. It's so good. I also had one of the special flavors which was also amazing. Do yourself a favor and support this local place.

This is definitely another one of Erie's hidden gems…read more I've discovered this local spot last summer, when I was disappointed with other places for not getting my order right. This tiny icecream shop is owned by 2 lovely owners, Kang & Gary Garnic. They offer homemade ice cream along with various flavor options for Dairy-free/ Gluten-free people as well. I have not had any flavors that I do not like yet, though my favorite is their "Sea salt" ice cream, a nice vanilla ice cream with a little twist of salty taste that is just perfect not to mention the blue color that makes it instagram-worthy). I love their subtly sweet taste that does not scream "There is a bunch of sugar added in here". and it leaves you wanting more after you finish your scoop. There are a couple of tables inside the shop as well as on their small patio. There is parking onsite, though I believe it can be a little challenging if you come on a hot day where everyone else also wants ice cream. I am so glad they are here. Definitely one more reason to love Erie

I had a vanilla cone dipped in butterscotch, just like I used to get years ago. We sat out front, enjoying the sunshine and making a bit of a mess, but that's half the fun. It's the kind of place that brings back good memories and helps make new ones. We'll definitely be back.

Cut to the chase: great ice cream, nasty service. We were there yesterday afternoon and my husband…read moreand I were so put off that we decided a review was in order so that the owners might know. When we got there, there were only 2 other people getting ice cream (not busy). The girl at the order window (tall with heavy black eyeliner in "wings") neither greeted us, nor thanked us, nor even could manage the slightest smile. She was one of the most unpleasant counter staff we've ever encountered. The other girl there who handed us our ice cream wasn't much better. We both looked at each other like "What the heck?" Then we laughed at the tip jar. I don't think this is the experience Straw Hat owners want for their customers.

Such a fun stop! I loved the whole vibe, and the ice cream was delicious. Great family place!read more

You know what I really like? chocolate…read more I was in Erie for work last week and after making a little detour to TJ Maxx I decided to stop at the little chocolate shop next door, Pulakos Chocolate! This little shop is full of a ton of different types of treats and chocolate bars in the shape of animals, ballerinas, crosses, instruments, and all other sorts of things along with offering fudge, sponge candy, truffles, chocolate pretzels and literally everything else under the sun. After walking around for way too long I finally settled on the chocolate covered pretzel sticks, sponge candy, a chocolate ballerina for my girlfriend, and some discounted heart marshmallows because why not? When I finally got to eat this sweet little treats I was in tasty chocolate heaven. All of the things I got were delightful and helped my sweet tooth guide me back to Buffalo. Overall, I was a big fan of Pulakos Chocolates and would love to return in the future. The employee working was extremely friendly, the prices were very reasonable, and the chocolate was delicious. Do yourself a favour and check this place out!

Soooo you're in Erie & you're craving boba! Have you ever been in this situation? I have. So, where…read morewe going? Andora's!! (*Cue the Yelp review*) - this boba shop in the heart of downtown Erie brings a lot of life and sheds light on the concept of boba to many who haven't experienced it. They have a wide variety of flavors from fruit to milk teas (that can be made hot or cold), but my personal favorites are the ones with chai! There's even a little area for drink pickup, fun Asian snacks and foods (like various types of ramen), and a little wall with teas that you can check out. Pro-tip: you'll likely crave boba often so ask for the punch card and get a free boba every now and then!
