    Wifi at Tipsy Bean, Erie
    Bruce K.

    My morning office, I spent about five hours here today writing Yelp reviews, sending emails and even dialing in to a Zoom bridge or two for work! Clean, comfortable and great coffee. The light roast was perfect with an icing covered pastry. I enjoyed my time and would absolutely return. Parking is the only challenge and I don't really have any advice for you there. Park legally. Read the signs and hopefully you won't get a ticket. [Review 1379 of 2024 - 656 in Pennsylvania - 22402 overall]

    Latte

    I have been to this place several times now, and I love it! Delicious coffee especially after grabbing the Crepes next door, you get 10% discount for yummy treats from Tipsy beans. I usually get hot latte, but recently discovered that their "Candy heart" smoothie (mixed fruits) is also delicious, not overly artificially sweet as some other places made it. They offer variety of bakery from Quiches, muffins, to cupcakes and cookies. The staffs are nice and the location is perfect for just a little get together, coffee break or to study.

    Saw this on Undercover Billionaire. Erie is my home town and I had an apartment a few doors away when I was young, so when we got the chance to return recently we just had to stop in. We both had Cappuccinos, my wife also had a lavender biscotti, and I had a Little Suzie. My wife is a Starbucks addict and declared the cappuccino better than that franchise! She really liked the cookie. I'm not a big coffee/cookie fan so it's all the same to me, though I believe in this place the $ goes a bit further. Was nice to see the store apparently succeeding. Enjoy the backyard patio.

    All white matcha latte????
    Alise R.

    This all white drink is a matcha latte. Tastes like a really expensive cup of whole milk. Every once in a while I get an unmixed clump of matcha up the straw but otherwise the matcha is non detectable. I didn't have time to go back and complain so I'm stuck w this really not delicious beverage. The woman who made it was super nice and there was no line. So maybe just go order something else there? Def don't get this.

    This place was very cute and definitely needed in this area. They had yummy bakery items and my Chocolate Chip cookie was amazing. They forgot my coffee and I didn't get it for like 20 minutes plus the cold brew wasn't that like strong tasting if that makes sense the cream overpowered if.

    My mother in law and I stopped here on our journey back home and it was the perfect stop! We got pumpkin spice lattes and they were divine! Not too sweet and the the right amount of spice! The baristas were friendly and welcoming and chatted with us about the shop as they made our drinks. It was a great atmosphere. They suggested we sit out back and I'm so glad they did. There is a quaint little patio in a garden with bistro tables. It was a nice break from being in the car for a couple hours. It's a great little are to sit and chat and relax! We took the desserts to go as we'd had our fill from the night before. Even a couple days later the cupcakes were to die for. We got red velvet and bourbon cream. I definitely recommend checking out the baked goods here because they were moist and the icings were spot on. Overall I would make this a must see destination for your caffeine and sugar fix :)

    I was happy to visit once again this cute, clean, inviting/comfortable space for coffee. The service is great as well. I'd like to see a "bold" option for coffee. Suppose an add shot would do. The bathroom is likely one of the cleanest public bathrooms I've visited in a very long, long time. Little details go a long way!

    If you're looking for a comfy place to stop by and grab some coffee, this is your place! The coffee is great- I recommend peppermint mocha for the holiday season & there are a plethora of teas/drink options. There are also pastry/bagel options in a variety of flavors (such as the lemon curd cupcake). The staff is so welcoming as well! Currently indoor seating was unavailable but pickup/ takeout is available and masks are worn! Parking: Enter the lot to the right of the building and there are two entrances into the shop! Limited street parking available

    My husband and I had a perfectly pleasant experience at A. Francisco's…read more We ordered the burrata bites to start. Crispy on the outside with perfectly melted, gooey cheese inside, and served with a marinara that was flavorful without being overly sweet. For our entrees we tried the OG (added sausage) and the prosciutto e arugula (added mushrooms). Both were delicious, featuring a well-balanced, crispy oven-baked crust that wasn't overly crunchy, elevated by parmesan, red pepper flakes, and a touch of sea salt. I also had an Aperol spritz to drink which was refreshing and perfect. Our server was quick and kind, and the vibe was modern and moody. We definitely see ourselves returning.

There were four or five people at the bar, but the dining area was otherwise empty. We were seated rapidly. We were pretty excited to come here since we were recommended this place by a local friend. We ordered the burrata bites as an appetizer, as well as their cavatelli, steak, and a pizza for our main meal. The burrata was fantastic! It came out relatively fast and was among the best we've ever had. That's when things started going downhill. We waited for nearly an hour for our food on a slow weeknight The steak was ordered rare, but came out medium rare to medium at points. It took a long time for the server to even come back and check on us and when we asked her if they could rectify the issue, we were told that medium-rare was typically what they cooked it at. It would've been helpful for her to have told us that to begin with! There was no attempt made to fix the issue, and we were left with an overcooked $68 steak The cavatelli pasta was...fine. Nothing exceptional. The portion was small for the price. The pizzas were fine. But as far as gourmet pizzas go, there are other better options in Erie. Our server did not check on us again after that for any reason. Not to refill our drinks. Nothing. Unfortunately the whole experience left a pretty sour taste in our mouth. We won't be coming back.

When I order short rib, I expect an actual short rib on the plate. Other than that, the experience was good. Server Josh was prompt and personable. Beer was in a deceiving small glass for tap beer. Prices reminiscent of PGH or Cincinnati, not small town Erie. Mac and cheese was good. I couldn't eat the app burgers due to aioli, and no offer to bring one free of aioli. I love the atmosphere, but very disappointed in my short rib dish. Asked for any reduction sauce instead of aioli and nothing was possible (I don't consider this a big ask).

    Hidden in plain sight…read more I've passed this place more than 50 times during my visits to Erie and never even blinked. Well that is until last week. I came here for an early dinner and my oh my I have got to pay more attention. Go in, push the book case and plan to stay awhile! Cocktails outstanding, appetizers were plentiful, the entree was just ok, vibes were everything. I started with the hibiscus spritzer which was a little bit on the sweet side for me but very refreshing. The whipped feta plate (I cannot recalled the exact name) with a very large portion with whipped feta, pita bread, rye crisps and sweet peppers which was healthy and refreshing. For an entree we decided to share the short ribs. It was a very large portion that came with mashed potatoes and steamed carrots. The temperature was off like it wasn't fresh, it wasn't hot the short rib was dry the carrots were hots, the potatoes lukewarm, the plate hot, all very odd. I didn't care for it so I'm glad we shared it. My friend enjoyed it I didn't say anything. For dessert (there is no menu so they share the specials verbally) We selected what we were told was a strawberry cheesecake. It was not cheesecake. It was definitely a shortbreak with a way too sweet frosting. I was very disappointed in this because I would chosen the chocolate cake (or nothing). Just as we wrapped up the live music had started. This place is super cute, and perfect for drinks, dinner, a date, the live music, etc.

But each time when im leaving we say, "yeah that was the right move." It's a little further from the Bayfront but it's a lot better than some of the options that are closer. The vibe here is great. So glad that this place has withstood so much turnover nearby. Food is consistently great. Lunch, dinner, even brunch is SOLID. This time, I did the Chicken Cordon Bleu Wrap with tots. Could've just been a silly assumption, did not expect the wrap to be toasted. Now this was on a 100 degree day, so wouldve personally preferred it to be cold this day but all good. Tots are dependable and great too. Wish I received a larger potion though. Was kind of surprise it wasn't like filling the plate and was more a scattered handful. Love this spot though.

On this visit, we both ordered the grinder, but my first bite felt off -- something was missing. Sure enough, when I lifted the bun, the most important part was missing: the boom boom sauce. It took a few minutes to get our server's attention, but once we mentioned it, she quickly brought sides of the sauce for us. After adding it ourselves, the sandwich tasted the way it should, though the bread was a bit dry since the sauce wasn't baked in. I'll also note that we typically visit for lunch, but this trip was later in the evening. The vibe was very different -- louder crowd, mostly college kids, and slower service due to how busy it was. We'll probably stick to lunch visits going forward, since that's when we've had the best experience.

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 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!
