This is definitely A MUST visit when you come to Erie. It's…read morea community's bookstore that has recently added a coffee shop inside. They offer a wide selections of books, both well-loved (2nd-hand) and new, from Mystery, Romance, History, to Children's books. It is such a relaxing and peaceful experience to browse around the store, looking for a treasure to be found (You can also join their book club). If you are looking for a gift or souvenir, there are also small gifts such as stationary items or treats from local places like Lake Erie Candy Co. All the way in the back is a coffee shop that sources coffee from North Edge Craft Coffee (Erie's own roasting company), and a bakery, offering foods such as bagels and cupcakes. So far, I have only tried Chai tea latte and Dirty chai, but will definitely try other items in the future. My favourite part here, other than delicious drinks and books, are that they offer to buy back the book that you recently purchased, and will give you store credit to be used for your next purchase, or you can also bring in any books you currently own, and sell it to them for store credit. Grab a drinks, your favourite book and get lost in another world!

Soooo you're in Erie & you're craving boba! Have you ever been in this situation? I have. So, where…read morewe going? Andora's!! (*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!

I finally had a chance to check out this hidden gem the other day! This place is a real deal for…read morecoffee lover! Not only they serve variety of freshly brewed coffee for you to choose from, I also tried the hot latte and it tasted good, if I remember it correctly, they use the 'Black Pearl' coffee bean for all espresso drinks. 'Breakfast with Elvis' is the most popular for regular brew there, according to the staff. They have a wall packed with coffee beans and they offer 20+ kinds of beans to choose from, from single origins, organic to specialty coffee. Breakfast bagels, cupcakes and cookies are offered there along with fruit smoothies if you are only dragged there by your coffee lover friends, but you prefer something else. There are 2 rooms for customers to enjoy food and drinks there with the cozy coffeeshop vibes. I would definitely go back there again to try different brews and lattes. The staff who took care of me was super nice and welcoming. I love how Erie has so many hidden gems that when driving by, you have no idea you are missing such a great place to visit.

This is uniquely shaped. Starbucks says it's more long and narrow, but there is still plenty of places listed and have your coffee. They were moderately busy, but they made through the line in short order. Super nice and friendly staff, so far so good. Not going to lie, my order was that in record time. It was almost as if they read my mind. I knew what I was going to order before I even got her. Bottom line? This is a good Starbucks. Thank you. This is the way corporate place should be run. Friendly staff, great service, good food quality and overall a very pleasant experience.
