Ember + Forge

The coffee was - eh, ok. Nothing to write home about. There was plenty of seating. I appreciated the atmosphere in general, but there was something lacking - just can't quite put my finger on it. The baristas were friendly. Would appreciate an offering for whipped cream or cold foam. Not sure that my small cup was worth $5.

An excellent little coffee shop in downtown Erie which serves coffee just as good as I would find in my hometown of Seattle. This is not the kind of coffee shop to expect Starbucks style drinks or sweet cream topping.

Chemex and drip coffees were wonderful!

Good cup of coffee and friendly staff. The atmosphere was comfortable as well.

*Edit: I've upgraded to five stars due to another recent stop. The coffee is fantastic, and the staff remain remarkably fast and friendly. The extra star also comes from the managements clear commitment to delivering a quality product and experience. I appreciate them reaching out for feedback on how to improve overall rating. In general this is just a quality establishment that should be given a look if you are in the area!

Truthfully I'm not a coffee drinker. But I LOVE LOVE LOVE the smoothies and hot chocolate that you can get. Decent prices. The space is so cozy with big windows to people watch. Comfy couches to chat with a friend. And larger tables for group gatherings for coworkers or students. It's a local spot you are bound to love. In the bustling city it is a cup of peace and a snip of enjoyment you'll want to come back to again and again.

Great cup of coffee. Cool, clean, uncluttered atmosphere with nice, helpful staff.

Best coffee in the city. It’s been wonderful to see them survive through the pandemic. So excited they are able to start returning to their normal hours. I spent many hours in this coffee shop pre-Covid working on my computer. Atmosphere is lovely, the staff is great, and they always try to accommodate customer feedback/needs to the best of their ability.

Pros: Good atmosphere, great location, friendly staff! I was in and out with no problem and it looked like a cool place to hangout.

Cons: the coffee, I ordered the house blend drip coffee. I took one sip and it reminded me of the bitter taste of Starbucks coffee. Not sure if they are adding too much, or if their house blend is a dark roast. I will have to go back and see if a lighter roast will change my opinion.

Absolutely love this spot! My favorite place to get a cup of caffeine or delicious pastry. The atmosphere, the music, and the decor are a nice calming experience along with the fresh drinks freshly brewed right in front of you. The prices are very reasonable as well. Highly recommend

On my last trip to Savannah, I had breakfast at Goose Feathers and was happy to return this trip. The coffee is excellent and service southern friendly. My croissant egg sandwich was warm and fresh. The panini my friend had was delicious. The place has a good vibe with families, singles, couples and a wide range of ages.
