I have been going here once a week with a friend. It's a great place in downtown Erie, the service is great with friendly baristas. The coffee is great, I keep it regular with drip but clearly have a wide selection. The pastries and few breakfast burritos are so good! If you love to bike in the summer time it's the place to be, with many cyclist popping in to get some good stuff! Or in part of any treasure hunts!

I needed a space to take a video call that had a snack because I was starving and a quick coffee. I was in the area and honestly this little strip of Erie is such a hidden gem with so many cute places along it's 2-3 blocks. I found this coffee shop on Yelp and am so glad I did. It has a modern, trendy vibe with natural elements and the cutest mural of Erie on the counter behind it. Their menu is basic which works in their favour and they have these amazing pastries that look and taste absolutely fantastic. I ordered an oat milk vanilla cappuccino and got a plain croissant. The total is as around 10$ which was very reasonable for the quality and the area and for the taste. They have an indoor and outdoor seating area that is a good size for small groups and to work individually. There are plenty of outlets for those wanting to do work as well as umbrellas outside for those who prefer fresh air. They provide high chairs, slings, and have a clean bathroom WITH a changing table as well as a sectioned off kiddy area with a couple toys so parents can keep their kiddos entertained and helps minimize the sound of loud kids. I will definitely be back and am sad I don't live closer because this would be the perfect place for me to feel comfy with my little one while getting the caffeine I desperately need.

Mocha and blueberry muffin. So yummy!

My partner and I just moved to the area and have stopped in for a coffee at Fox Dog twice - we are trying to get a feel for the town and all it has to offer. Both times we have been in, we have had an excellent experience. The shop itself is on the smaller side, as most coffee shops are, but has an impressive number of tables that feel comfortably spaced out. I've not once felt crowded or uncomfortable by the space. The menu is pretty standard for what you'd expect at a local coffee place and offers a nice variety of different beverages and baked goods. All of the pastries we've ordered so far are fresh as can be and beautifully made - this is something I'd like to try more of for sure. I absolutely love pastries lol. The girls behind the counter I've interacted with during these two visits have always been so very sweet and attentive and it feels like they have an awesome relationship with one another as well as with the folks that visit the coffee shop on a regular basis. I love that! The parking lot is somewhat small and is shared between four or five other small businesses in the same little strip. We haven't had issues parking as of now, but during busy times there is also quite a bit of street parking available and the downtown area is easy to walk, so you won't ever really be too far to walk from anywhere you might park. I'll be back in for sure to update my thoughts on the baked goods and any unique drinks I might try!

Our local coffee spot for if we are out of coffee at home or just feel like getting out of our house with our coffee shop loving toddler. Coffee here is wonderful.. Fun semi private room to work or let your little ones play, since there is some kid stuff in there to occupy them.. Can't speak for the pastries, but my son has sampled quite a few of them + is definitely one happy customer. Plus the employees working are always the sweetest. Probably the best spot for coffee in Erie. Change my mind ;)

Americano to start the day

Fox Dog Coffee is a diamond in the rough. Located in the very small community of Downtown Erie, the family owned coffee shop receives high praise from locals that's most definitely warranted. I'm not in the area often (mainly when we board the pups) but I'll make it a point to pop in here when I am. Very cute, modern shop with sleek design, free WiFi and friendly faces. An Americano is my standard order and there's was delightful. So much so, I ordered a second! Additionally, their pastry game was on point. I ordered a bacon cheddar & chive scone and it was extremely tasty. Scones are more of a dryer food and I found there's to be moist and flavorful. The assumed owner and rotating baristas were friendly and polite. For a Tuesday morning a fair amount of people trickled in and out. With some like me working remotely. Whether popping in or staying a while, Fox Dog is a great little spot in Erie!

So sad I don't live closer bc this would definitely be my go-to spot! Great cold brew and very tasty quiche. A bunch of indoor seating and outdoor seating as well. Will return for sure!

A lovely, quiet coffee shop and ideal work spot. The pastries felt artisanal and baked fresh - not run of the mill. The drinks were solid. It is evident that Beauty is important to this establishment and it is simple, but intentional in all the details.

Their coffee is not strong but a nice friendly place. Now that I am not drinking caffeine it probably is great.

Good, quick coffee spot when I'm near old town. Never seem to have much in the way of danishes or muffins, so I usually just get coffee.

This is a great coffee shop. The location is clean and big enough even if it's a little busy…read more I love the lavender coffee! If you don't care for that, there are plenty of other options.

I've been a customer since the day they opened- I was excited to see coffee from home! (Texas)…read more Corporate! Listen up. You should model all your stores after the way this one is ran. If I could give this location 20 stars I would. This is the best coffee around town. Not only does it surpass their competitors (like Starbucks,Allegro, Otis and Corvus, etc) but the biggest difference for me and my family is THE PEOPLE. Joe, Alyssa, Josie, Tyson, Jason, Noah, Esmee, are the best baristas and friendliest with their customers every single time we come in. My son loves coming for the bread and the toys in the corner, the vibe is chill and it's always a pleasure to talk to the staff! I get my two kids out of my car and go in bc the coffee and the people are better than the rest! I especially love the fun decor and how they decorate for each holiday. This coffee shop is special because it feels more like a neighborhood joint than a corporate place and easy to do bc the closest one is over 1k miles! I am so glad they have all the baristas names and faces on the wall so I can get to know them since they don't wear name tags. I will continue to bring my friends and family here for years to come! Don't change a THING!!!! Great staff, phenomenal coffee and enjoyable conversation always happens here!
