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.

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.

Food was good but there was something wrong with the service. It was like they were on 2 out of 8 cylinders. No plates or glasses, no napkins: nothing set up and they didn't seem to care or move on it. Just let us sit there while they talked to each other in a corner. Not very nice either. Really disappointing. I rarely write reviews and if I ever do, it is to praise a place so this is unusual for me to do. Really need to up their game significantly.

It was agreed she'd deliver it to the location in the morning. It was needed before 2pm but the plan was to have it there in the AM. Because she forgot, and it was unsure if she'd come through, a homemade cake was made just in case. It wasn't until 1:15 that she texted on way!! Cake arrived, a bit sloppy and still warm. Ended up with two cakes. The whole point was not to bake the night before and yet, $50 later, still had to! The cake was basic with pineapple on it. Not bad just not great, for bakery cake. A bit dry. Not as expected. It's too bad because she came recommended by other local bakers and she's a very nice lady. She offers poetry nights and displays artists work. I'd recommend for that. I cannot speak about the beverages or other foods/desserts. The cafe gets 3 stars because of the community events and she offers other items I didn't try. But I will not pre-order items or recommend anyone to do so.

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.
