Pressed is a coffee bookstore than my best friend has done nothing but rave about saying "their set…read moreup 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.

We stopped in here for an afternoon boost at the coffee shop. I was pleasantly surprised to learn…read morethe 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!

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 atmosphere is clean and modern, with a fun little robot that delivers drinks to tables, which adds a playful touch to the space. I usually just stop in to grab a drink to go rather than dine in, but it's a nice environment overall. The menu is extensive, which I appreciate -- there's always something new to try, so it never feels repetitive. Overall, it's a reliable place for a fun beverage from time to time. Definitely worth stopping by.

The people who run the shop are so nice and friendly, most of the foods and products have English translations in them but if there is any confusion, they are more than happy to help! The store is always clean and fully stocked with various types of meats (best dried meat we've ever bought in Erie), sweets, drinks, and snacks. Even if you aren't familiar with European foods (I probably wouldn't be either if it wasn't for being with a Serbian) I still highly recommend you check this place out! They have a large stock of Milka chocolates and other snacks that may be more familiar with, and there's lots of new fun stuff to try!

(*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!
