Pressed is a coffee bookstore than my best friend has done nothing but rave about saying "their set up is just the best!" So when I drove up from SC to visit I had to see what all the fuss was about. Sadly, I took more videos than photos as umm be posting them to my author and book pages (@shewriteswithknives). So if you're wanting an interior look by me you'll have to check there at a later date. Now let's get into it. Pressed is cute. Very cute! This bookstore had a particular charm that made me want to look everywhere at once without being overloaded. I was excited to see they had less mainstream books, thus making their selection a bit wider. I somehow managed to only buy one book and paired it with a lavender matcha iced latte. On top of their book selection they have several cute stickers, hats, candles and assorted bookish knickknacks to enhance your reading experience. I'm very glad I was able to drop by. read more

We stopped in here for an afternoon boost at the coffee shop. I was pleasantly surprised to learn the coffee shop is connected to a bookstore. We walked into the bright and welcoming bookstore before heading over to the coffee shop and I instantly felt a tinge of happiness! The coffee shop is very bright with floor to ceiling windows, several seating arrangement and a creative menu that had monthly specials that are boom themed. I opted for an iced lavender latte with oat milk 1/2 sweet. The baristas were really friendly and even offered me a punch card for my next visits. My coffee was great, the flavor was perfect . I hope to visit again during my next trip to Erie (unfortunately they don't open until 8am). If you're ever in the area grab yourself a cup of coffee and cozy up with a good book! read more

Best signature lattes in erie- hands down. While I can walk to a few coffee shops, I'll drive across town to get a beverage here. They have a nice rotation of seasonal beverages that I'm always excited to chose from. They're always well balanced. Never too sweet or overly sugary. Pressed has a nice coffee selection, a loose leaf tea selection, and hot chocolate bar. They also serve milkshakes. Food wise, they don't have anything too substantial but they do have vegan cookies, muffins, cake pops, and bagels. They also serve topo chico and juice boxes for kids. The vibe in pressed is relaxed but elevated. It's a clean quiet coffee shop attached to a super cool book store. It's a great place to get unique gifts or cards. read more

An ok spot. I would rate it a 6/10. Drinks are ok. I would skip the coffee... matcha is decent. It's unique that it's attached to a bookstore and there's ample space to work. Usually super packed which is the downside. If you're in the area or live close by it's not a bad option for a space to work/get out of the house. It provides a nice change. read more

My mom and brother came to Erie to visit so we stopped into Pressed for some coffee - I'm so happy we did! I've been wanted to come here for awhile but haven't had the chance. I got an iced coffee with oat milk, my mom got their "Judy Blume" coffee, and my brother got a hot matcha latte. We all loved it! The workers were so nice and friendly, we got our coffee quickly, and everything was delicious. I thought it was so cute how their drink specials had "book themed" names, too! I was so surprised at their book store section. They have so much over there! I didn't have the time I would have liked to skim through, but looking forward to going back to look through their bookstore! read more

Me and my partner game up to Erie and saw this little place. We got 2 blueberry muffins, chai latte, and a latte. The service was fast and the food and drinks were amazing. Clean! read more

i just had the best milkshake and snack from Pressed. A raspberry milkshake, and a pumpkin streusel bar. Friendly and courteous Staff.

This cafe is amazing! The vibe of the entire cafe is exactly what you're looking for. Additionally, being attached to a bookstore is really nice touch that differentiates this cafe from others in the area. I got an iced matcha latte with oat milk and it was amazing. I also think it was priced very fairly, I paid around $5.00 for the drink and it wasn't filled to the brim with ice like you would see at starbucks. The service was very quick for such a busy cafe. Overall, I really like pressed and will definitely be back! read more

Pressed - iced matcha latte with oat milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Erie, Pennsylvania

Really cute bookstore and coffee shop combo! I was looking for a place with wifi to work on a rainy day afternoon. I love how they are open a bit later than your typical coffee shop. They make a killer matcha latte (I think it was around $5 with an upcharge for alternative milk), I subbed mine for oat milk and sugar free vanilla syrup. It was perfectly foamy with just a hint of bitterness. Kind staff, good amount of seating, and also the bookstore is fun to browse :) read more

By far, my favorite coffee shop in town! We used to live 5 minutes away but I will still gladly drive from the other side of town for them! The coffee is always good! The specialty drinks are a must- especially in the fall. The candy corn latte is one of my favs!! The baristas are super friendly and fast. The working environment is nice and chill. Highly recommend! read more

Pressed - Loved the book shelf wall paper in the restroom. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Erie, Pennsylvania

This place is my dream: coffee and books. The bookstore is great; so many unique books and gifts. I love the kids' section especially. The coffee shop has a lot of unique combos and my iced latte was great. I also love that they use paper straws. Highly recommend! read more

I love how this spot is a bookstore and a coffee shop in one. It is such a great addition to our city. You can peruse their books on one side and you can purchase and get lost in it over a cup of coffee on the other side! There is also a children's books section with a tree nook for all the little explorers out there. I love a good card and really enjoyed their greeting cards section. I came here almost everyday when I discovered it since I loved the vibe so much. I had a lot of studying to do so having a place with great coffee and wifi was exactly what I needed. The house coffee is smooth and aromatic. The seats are comfy. The music is soft so that a group may be having conversations just fine, but it is loud enough to not get distracted and eavesdrop on others while you're there solo reading a book or working on your laptop. There are a few outlets if you need too. I stayed so focused sitting here each time...only some distractions by how gorgeous the shop is...like head to toe gorgeous - the lighting fixtures were definitely customized, the accent brick walls, the floors were all thought out. I like the mix of elements here - metal and wood decor. The bathrooms have book themed wallpapers too! So much attention to detail. Love it! PS: There is ample free parking in the plaza here so no worries about that part. If you're looking for a great coffee shop, I definitely recommend Pressed. Support local! read more

Such a great place to study. The WiFi is fast, the one side of the room is full of windows so it feels like you are outside, the coffee is really good, the tea is good, the muffins are good and there are vegan options. THE MUSIC IS SOOOO GOOD and the barista (I think her name was Hunter) was very nice and helpful :) read more

Pressed - This is a matcha latte with coconut milk and a lemon poppyseed muffin - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Erie, Pennsylvania

I 100% recommend this place and astonished that it isn't more popular! This cafe is truly the best study, hangout or relaxation spot there is. I could tell by the first time I stepped in, I was going to love it. When I first heard of Pressed, my friend and I were ecstatic, for we've been looking for a cute study area around Erie. The both of us love the choice of books, in the store, and the coffee, in the cafe. We basically come down weekly to work on school work and hangout together in the wholesome environment. read more

Nice relaxing atmosphere with a wide selections of books in the book store connected to the coffee shop. Close to other local shops and Frontier Park read more

This is an beautiful establishment. The employees are always friendly and greet you when you walk through the door. I come here some mornings to get my liquid energy and the prices are similar to Starbucks or Brew Ha Ha. It is a little pricey but all of the drinks are handmade by the baristas so you know that you are getting a fresh drink. I normally get an iced tea (around $2.50) or latte (around $4-$5). They have high tables to sit at or they also have couches where you can sit and chat with others. Connected to the cafe is a bookstore. The two are considered separate stores and have varying hours so be sure to check this if you are hoping to go to both. Overall, this is an amazing cafe/bookstore and the employees are very friendly and helpful. read more

A good cup of joe. Awesome bookstore attached and really friendly people. Check it out!

It's hard not to love a place that is local, friendly, well stocked and encourages browsing while caffeinating.

Love their coffee and tea. They also have vegan bakery items and vegan dairy options which i really appreciate.

One of my favorite places in Erie! The cutest bookstore, and always the best coffee. I especially love the cafe specials and the gift items available in the bookstore. read more

When I first visited this coffee house I was IMPRESSED with the coffee and the staff! I have been in several times and wasn't thrilled with the service and some of the teas. It seems this happens in Erie. I've lived in many states and experienced good service. Our problem here is some places lack the ability to stay consistent. My last visit was extremely disappointing! The counter person was not knowledgeable or friendly. I'm willing to spend for my coffee and tea but I had to really put forth so much effort for the purchase I decided it wasn't worth the trip. Wasn't happy with the tea OR the coffee. They had NO CUSTOMERS and I had the feeling I wasn't even appreciated!!!!!What a shame because they started up with the right idea but if this keeps up people will feel the same as me. read more

Great coffee shop in Erie, we need more!! Very nicely decorated, light and airy with the big windows. Yummy iced lattes and muffins! It's a good place to go study but sometimes there's not quite enough seating. read more

Love this place. The atmosphere is very welcoming and the staff are very helpful. Great addition to Erie.

First time coming here today! I LOVED the atmosphere, very relaxing. I also enjoyed browsing the book store while I waited for my Latte (which was delicious as well). I am very interested in returning with my school work, the coffee shop has a cute lounge area for doing work or being studious. My only advice for someone coming here is I hope you're not in a hurry, it did take a little bit to get my drink BUT you can't rush Art, right? read more
