Ember + Forge

Amazing local cafe. The coffee, espresso, and teas are all top notch and less expensive than Starbucks (which is one block away). The vibe is chill and is a great place to relax or get work done with free Wi-Fi available. The staff is very knowledgeable, friendly, hard working, and attentive.
I'm a big supporter of local business, and if you like coffee, this is a crucial spot for you to pay a trip to.

Great place for some proper coffee and the smoothies kept the kids very happy. Loved the photo exhibition, reminded us of travels overseas. Relaxing but chic modern and clean design elements. Personally, I adored the plants and ceramic planters for an extra personal touch of green. A nice break while seeing the sights and especially after visiting the Children's Museum around the corner with our 4 and 8 year olds.

Looking for breakfast or lunch? Look no more...this little business is always full of customers and once you dine here you will know why. My egg with melted cheese on a croissant was delicious and the cup of fruit was so fresh. My friend had the Belgian waffle.
We ate here EVERY morning!!!

On a guys road trip to Erie. Two different people at our hotel recommended Ember for coffee. It's right on the main street in the center of Erie. The coffee, pastries and ambience were terrific. Huge windows open to State Street (the main street) flooding the seating area with natural light and allowing views. Seating was comfortable for relaxing and conversation or using the tables more serious endeavors. The pastry selection was nice and the portions a reasonable size and thankfully without the calorie reminders found in other coffee shops. My dark roast Black Bird coffee was among the smoothest tastiest I've had. Give this a try - you will not be disappointed.

Some seriously good coffee is served here. The shop is interesting and cool. I love to get in to study here when I can. The seats fill up quick fyi. The baked goods are delicious too.

Delicious espresso! Love the new place!! Super excited to make this the new spot!

Goose Feathers is a popular destination for very inexpensive but delicious fare. Quiche is an especially good value. I had the Reuben, which I love. The location is perfect, in the middle of downtown. I highly recommend it. It is decorated well, too.

Very good coffee. Not many places make good cortados but when it's done right like they made mine at Ember + Forge it's outstanding. They have an order window on the side of the building so they're COVID safe and they make ordering super easy.

Love the ambiance and feel of this corner coffee shop. I'm not a coffee person but the tea and hot chocolate is amazing! Will continue coming back for great service, delicious drinks, and cozy atmosphere.

Good espresso downtown Eerie. The space is nice (but not yet open for sit in, it seems). We had a cappuccino and ice latte, and both were good.
