The classic pancake with butter and maple syrup is also delicious. They also have a nice selection of baked goods on display and serve alcoholic drinks.

Driving through Erie again, looking forward to another great breakfast, but alas, the sign on the door said " closed due to technical difficulties, see you tomorrow." So sad. Checked Yelp for an alternative. Bay and Berry had an even better rating and was close by. No comparison to Gem. Feels like a chain. Its bright & shiny, food was mediocre. For example, how can a biscuit to too hot to eat AND soggy? Very pedestrian and disappointing. Oh well.....

E&F is a clean, welcoming, community-forward coffee shop located in downtown Erie. It's the kind of…read moreplace where every detail feels intentional & inclusive, from the local vendors they highlight to the rotating art exhibits on the wall. The space itself is small enough to feel cozy with plenty of seating options, including high-top and low-top tables, two couches, and a bar along the front window, which is great for people who want to spend some time there. There are plenty of outlets and two private bathrooms, both stocked with sanitary products. Drink wise, you won't find an elaborate list of over the top designer lattes here but they do have a seasonal beverage or two and a variety of syrups (rose, lavender, caramel, etc) you can add to enhance your drink. I'm a sucker for their mocha. It's so rich and delicious without being heavy or overly sweet. They also have some baked goods & some of the best ice cream sandwiches I've ever had. Recently, Ember & Forge installed a free food pantry outside, another reflection of their deep commitment to our community. It's easy to feel good supporting a business like that.

The food was excellent minus one small exception... the home fries. Given the yumminess of the food I would have hoped for homemade home fries instead of frozen.

Great concept. Solid location. Lackluster impression. We…read morehave been telling our friends about Enrique's, since we've known them. We planned a weekend in Erie (from Northeast Ohio) and a stop here for lunch was intended to be a highlight. Imagine our shock, dismay and a bit of anger when we arrived to find Enrique's closed. Every app we checked showed them to be open. They were not... But a lot of other businesses were closed as well. Doesn't seem to make sense on a Saturday? The places that were open were not busy, so maybe it's a weekday spot... Hours should be posted accordingly. However, there were bright spots! The cheese steak place was cooking a delicious looking sandwich, when I walked by. Our friends really enjoyed their noodle bowls, as well. We decided to order from the Dominican restaurant and her food was AMAZING! Roasted pork, mixed rice and fried sweet plantains. Flavor was out of this world. The pizza place has a solid selection of drafts. I had a cider that was excellent.

Had a great time here and will definitely be back soon.

Should you find yourself in Erie PA, make sure you stop at Avanti's for breakfast!…read more This locally owned, classic American style diner has been a favorite since 2019 and has never disappointed. The service is always friendly and the servers know the menu like they're tested on it weekly lol. They'll ask you how you want something before you have a chance to even figure out you might want it a different way! The coffee is strong and does what coffee is supposed to do. The food comes out quickly. Everything I've ordered has been perfectly prepared and DELICIOUS. This trip, I chose the Monster Bowl while Melissa went with the Chipotle Bowl. Can you say 'Yummmm'? Find em on W 8th Street, just up from Bayfront Parkway and a couple blocks past Romolo chocolates.

Although the place did not appear that crowded our server said the bar was backed up and that's why our drinks took a while and the kitchen was backed up and that's why our food and dessert took a while. Fortunately, they were worth the wait. Unfortunately, they were out of a lot of things. There was no Luxardo cherry for my husband's old-fashioned and there was no St. Germaine for a Hugo spritz. The crab hush puppies were delicious! I highly recommend them. My husband enjoyed the fish and chips and I enjoyed the crab and shrimp roll. My husband ordered the Bourbon Butter cake, but they were out of candied pecans and they didn't tell us, it just came with no pecans. When we asked the server she said "It's summer. I guess we're out of a lot of things."
