Came here on a Saturday morning looking for some peace and quiet to get a little work done while…read moreenjoying a cup of coffee. The crowd definitely came and went. There was a point when it got pretty loud, to the point where I had to turn up the volume on my earbuds to stay focused. Just something to note if you're hoping for complete silence on a weekend. There's plenty of parking, but it is shared with the other businesses next door. The environment inside is what stood out the most to me. It has a very hippie, artsy vibe with greenery throughout and paintings on the walls that are actually for sale. Even with the foot traffic, the space still felt calm and peaceful overall. Service was okay, they were clearly busy. The bakery items were average, nothing crazy. I had a chocolate croissant, which was fine. I also ordered a latte. I'd definitely come back, mainly for the environment. It's a nice spot when you need some alone time to get work done. I'll probably try coming back on a weekday next time when there are hopefully fewer peoplebut honestly, I'd still come back even on a busy weekend.

The two people behind the counter were extremely friendly and welcoming. It was noon and I was the only person at this time. I asked for suggestions they recommended the banana pudding latte or tiramisu and I decided on tiramisu which was beautifully presented and strong! I usually like sweet but this was decent I also didn't ask for more sugar in it. I tried their almond croissant which although it wasn't warmed up tasted good. Overall I'd come back to try other drinks.

The staff was friendly and even brought my food out once I was settled, which made the experience even better.

My wife and I come here regularly, and it has all the machines you need to work out your entire body--cardio, strength, and functional training. For only $23 a month, you get 24/7 access, which is a huge plus. Even during peak hours when it gets busy, the price and unlimited access make it totally worth it. The variety of equipment allows you to keep your workout efficient without wasting time. We usually don't spend more than 45 minutes, yet we're able to get a solid, effective workout every time. Overall, it's a great gym with excellent value, convenience, and everything you need to stay consistent.

I was absolutely letdown by my visit to Qahwah House last night. The service is actually the…read morestrongest point; the staff is very friendly and patient. Since Yemeni coffee and tea options aren't common for everyone, they take the time to explain the menu and answer questions, which I really appreciated. However, the Adeni Chai was the only saving grace of the visit. It was flavorful and well made, but the coffee was a massive disappointment. I tried the Jubani after the staff described it as a delicious light-roasted coffee packed with caffeine, but in reality, it tasted like bland cardamom water with absolutely no coffee flavor or body. It felt like I was just drinking hot spiced water. The atmosphere was also a major issue as there was no seating available whatsoever. The crowd was mostly of Middle Eastern descent and many were incredibly rude; people will bump right into you and not say a word. Even worse was the way some customers spoke to the workers, it was absolutely deplorable. Honestly, who raised you? It was uncomfortable to witness. The dessert selection was even worse. Most of what we ordered felt stale and old. The only thing worth eating was the bubble dessert with cheese because they actually toast it. We tried both the pistachio milk cake and the pistachio dream cake, and neither was impressive. The khattafi in the pistachio dream was the biggest letdown; it was so stale and bland I can't believe they actually put it out to sell when it was clearly weeks if not months old. The basboosa was also a disappointment, as it was a very small square of semolina cake for almost $5. Overall, It is not a good place for coffee or desserts, so if you do go, stick strictly to the Adeni chai.

The shop is small with limited places to hang out -- there's a small counter where you can stand and sip your coffee. Otherwise, they have a few small tables outside. There's a second room which has cute merch and a fridge with additional cold beverages for sale. I tried the vanilla latte and took home some treats! The spinach handpie - basically a spinach/cheese breakfast pastry, the cinnamon roll (to die for!! It was fluffy and sweet but not overly sweet like other places are), and a pumpkin cheesecake bar with pomegranate seeds. What I really like about Erie is that they make all these delicious treats and once they are sold out, they're sold out. They don't make more for the rest of the day and they don't waste food. It's always fresh!

Our area has no shortage of bakeries but those of us that have sampled a number of them realize, there are truly ones that stand out from the rest. Erie Coffee Shop & Bakery is one of those bakeries! Cute old school bake shop. Really nice and professional staff. I went in trying to be "good" and not some out with a lot. Easier said than done in this bake shop. Everything looks amazing! I asked for recommendations and left with the citrus olive oil cake, chocolate chip cookie, almond cookie, and a Madeleine. Within a couple of hours, I devoured the citrus olive oil cake. Absolutely perfect! Hint of citrus and just the right amount of moist. Also, the perfect size to feel fulfilled without feeling overly guilty. Later that night, I went for the almond cookie. Amazing texture, truly better than any almond horn I've had. The next day, I broke a piece off of the chocolate chip cookie that we got for our daughter. Perfect cookie. Then I reached for the madeleine, better than any literary device I've ever had! Transported me to my couch, where I speechlessly consumed it with some tea! Awesome! I'll be back!

It's the type of place that the regulars have their favorite seats and mugs to use. I walked in and there was a group of 5 chatting about current events sipping coffee at the bar. The owners were incredibly nice and helpful. You get the 80s vibes with 90s prices. I mean it I got 2 sandwiches and a medium coffee for $16.50. The rolls they use for the breakfast sandwiches are perfect. Nice and light with great flavor. They aren't the biggest sandwiches, you might need 2 if you eat a lot, but they are good and cheap. You can always order a second and it will be the same price as other spots. We took this order to go and now we plan to go back on the weekend to dine in and get the whole experience.
