Absolutely love this place. Has a nice cozy vibe. Easy to find any book you may want. Has little gifts and fun book related items. If youre not looking for a book then you must grab a coffee! Some of the best coffee drinks you can find in Erie

If I were living in Erie, this coffee shop and bookstore would be one of my favorite places. Great range of tasty treats on their coffee menu with the addition of the book shop where you can find the most recent book titles. Our family got two Halloween books for our daughters and they loved it.

Books + a cafe - does it get any better?The cafe warm, somewhat minimal, and inviting. The drink selection includes coffee, tea, and espresso standards as well as some special drinks (and a few book-related puns!).The bookstore is mirrors the cafes warmth and minimalist feel. Its quite inviting, and there is a good deal to browse.Skip the mega-stores and international chains in favor of supporting a small, local business!

Great little place. Decent selection of books and gifts. Fantastic coffee.

Love this coffee & book shop! The staff is very friendly and helpful. If they dont have the book you are looking for, they are more than happy to order for you!! Will return again and again.

I could not love this place more. Definitely the coffeehouse I frequent the most. Its one of my favorite places to study/read and/or chill with a friend. Highly recommend trying their matcha tea latte.. its freaking amazing!! As are their chocolate chip cookies and pumpkin chocolate chip muffins. :) Their regular lattes are also great and I just tried some herbal tea that was also amazing. Their baristas are lovely + super helpful! Check this place out, you wont regret it!

Super cute bookstore and coffee shop, chill vibes. The books are all full price so I didnt buy any. The coffee and drinks were affordable and delicious! Not a bad place to stop and browse and get a nice drink. I wish they had a used book section for some bargain finds.

Great coffee and great selection of books! The staff was super friendly and helpful! I highly recommend!

I met the love of my life here. Its a cozy and dreamy book shop and Cafe and I love it Everytime I enter. Please bring your kids because they have such a cute reading area inside a little tree. I cant express how find I am of this place being in Erie.

I love this bookstore. It had a vast amount of books of different genres. The books were not over priced which was nice. I enjoyed having a local bookstore. Went for one book and got three. The store was clean and not overcrowded.

Love it here! Good coffee and good vibes. Awesome place to study.

Nice staff, fun store, great selection of 📚 books, jewelry and other items! Both the cafe and book store are now open on Sundays from 10-3!

Love this local gem! Run, dont walk, if youve never been. ❤️

Fabulous gift and novelty selection, beautifully curated books, delicious coffee and lovely ambient space to work or read.

Great coffee and wonderful atmosphere. Enjoyed catching up with family while enjoying some tasty drinks.

Pressed is so delightful! The coffee is excellent, the book selection is great, especially the kids section, and the staff is so nice and helpful.

Very lovely and clean place. Decorated with style and customers in mind! I would suggest to broaden the cafes bakery selection. The book store is very inviting!

Went to Pressed for the first time this past weekend and I will definitely be returning. The vanilla honey cappuccino I got was really good and the peanut butter cookies were amazing as well.I didnt go into the bookstore section while I was there but it looked pretty nice from what I could see.

My only problem here is deciding if I want to look at books or get coffee first! It’s a wonderful little bookstore (with great bookish gift items, too) and the coffee is absolutely delicious. I especially love that there’s always a new special to try.

This place is a gem in Erie. Great coffee selection and attached book store. Who could ask for more?

Its a nice little bookstore, but there is a very off-putting sign in the kids section asking you not to read to your kids because it renders the book used. Im not going to buy a childrens book without knowing the content within.

Ive never actually been inside the store, but did book orders curbside during the pandemic. The staff were AWESOME and totally worked with me to get the literature I wanted. So glad to have this bookstore in our City! Im really looking forward to going there for a cup of coffee when COVID-19 dies down because my friends tell me it is top-notch, very tasty brews! I love coffee, so this is on my 2021 list - ha. :)

Rullll quewt. Nice work Erie

Great customer service, coffee is always great! Beautiful coffee shop to sit and relax.

The coffee is great and the book store is super cute! Its a great place to meet up with people for a cup of coffee or to work on your computer!

Wonderful little shop in my hometown. I make it a point to visit the coffee shop and buy at least one book whenever Im in town. They may be pricey on books since they usually sell at MSRP but that money is well spent knowing it supports a locally owned business and the owners and workers are always so nice and friendly! They also have really unique finds with other local artisan products like soaps and jewelry. Great atmosphere, I love it!

Always a favorite. Stop every year when I make a trip up from Pittsburgh for a new book and a chai tea latte

They lost a start only because the employee didnt seem to be enjoying their job... might just be an off day. Otherwise clean & the coffee is good.

Nice place. A good selection of childrens books.

Lovely staff, delicious drinks, and a cute bookstore.

I love this cute little coffee shop! The employees always seem so happy, which makes me happy to support such a wonderful business :) Everyone is so friendly and the coffee is delicious!

Happy that Erie now has a quality book store in a great central location. Its near Frontier Park, a bike route and they have a decent bike rack too.

I enjoy visiting this book shop and cafe. They are always friendly. The selection of books, gifts and cafe items should appeal to all. Its nice to have a small book shop in town. They added Sunday hours as well.

Cozy & clean shop for coffee and books

This was very yummy coffee and the lady that gave me the coffee was very nice. I had black coffee not no fancy drank that takes 10 minutes to make and cost 18 dollars.

Everytime Ive had anything from Pressed Ive been thrilled. Looking forward to returning

The shop is cute, but very limited seating. The coffee was good but over priced. It took about 20 minutes to get a plain black coffee to go. I thought it was very inefficient that while one person was making the specialty coffees (an order of 2) that the other present employee (with no line to order) wouldnt grab the simple black coffee to go, so we could get out of the over crowded waiting area. It is not possible to social distance anywhere if the tables are full. I really wanted to like this place, but my experience was mostly inconvenient and slightly irritating.

Cute little cafe! Coffee was delicious and the woman behind the counter was very accommodating!! Will be back.

This place has great coffee, amazing atmosphere, and wonderful staff. I always love getting to come in and chat with them while enjoying terrific drinks. 😁

Delightful, with unique flavors and charming staff.

Sweet, clean but too quiet. Place needs more community support .

Nice community asset - local bookstore with a large childrens selection. And as an added bonus it isnt on Peach Street. It is great to see an independent doing well. The atmosphere leans a little more toward boutique than bookish and the publishers prices are the price - no discounts that I saw. The young reader section was nice, but there was one odd problem that could be easily corrected... A lot of childrens books are part of series, but Pressed only seemed to carry the latest one or two books for most series. Sure, they had all the Harry Potters, but no early Alvin Hos or Timmy Failures. I understand limited shelf space but my kids were unimpressed by the nuisances of retail real estate. It could be that the store did carry these without displaying them but there was no one in the childrens section to ask. It seems like carrying every book in a series is a good idea and if displaying them isnt possible then a note on the shelf saying they could be retrieved from stock (I have no idea if Pressed has any sort of stock room, though). And one other thought - kids remember the series name a lot better than the name of the author... I wonder if series could be on their own and ordered by series name.

If you love good coffee; come here! Pressed serves bean from Commonplace Coffee. The cappuccino was fantastic, fresh, and fragrant. Service was wonderful.

Think of Starbucks. Take away the national chain. Put in actually GOOD coffee. And you get this gem.

A wonderful local store! Good book selection, helpful staff and a great coffee shop.

I was pleased with my experience at Pressed ! Super cute bookstore, lots of local goodies, and great drinks. I would highly recommend !

A beautiful setup, very nicely decorated. Excellent selection of books both best sellers and special interest. The childrens section is warm and inviting. Cant wait to take my granddaughter there :-) coffee was delicious as good as any Ive had at a national chain.

Pressed is a really great place to go for a lot of things. if you have a little time, you can run in and grab some coffee. if you have a medium amount of time, you can get some coffee and browse the store attached. and if youve got a lot of time and some work to do, its a great place to bring a laptop and relax. I only wish that they had more open hours because I would love to spend a lot more time here but can never make it when theyre open

Good service and friendly atmosphere.

Super cute and clean

Great little coffee shop that also has an exceptional selection of loose leaf teas and some assorted baked goods as well. The bookstore is an amazing little gem for Erie. They have a great selection of books and gifts and the kids area is indescribably adorable with a reading nook inside a tree.

So proud to have a locally owned book shop in my town. I havent been to Barnes and Noble since I found this place. Their selection is insane. I feel like I have so many more choices here. Of course they have the classics, and their fiction selection is huge. Theyve got it all though. Their genres are so neatly organized. They have a kids space that is darling. I also love the ambiance here. You can see every little detail was so thoughtfully picked... from the unique lights, the book wallpaper, the fun themed candles. I absolutely adore this place. Its a local gem for sure. Check them and support local!

Small homey atmosphere, lovely employees, lounge area and coffee shop. Definitely a new go-to book shop

Great book store- great store! Lots of fun things to browse & shop. Very comfortable atmosphere and the coffee & snacks are yummy too! Love this place 😍

Amazing place, highly recommend stopping in, even if only to browse. Many books to choose from, both adult and children. Several unique items that would make great gifts. Coffee/Cafe area quaint. Coffee smells heavenly.

One of the best bookstores I’ve been to in a long time (it’s hard to find them these days.) They have an excellent children’s selection! Also the perfect place to find gifts for friends or coworkers and to get a delicious cup of coffee!

No disrespect to national chains, but everything here is just a trifle above average compared with other coffee chains in PA.

I had a seasonal Snowdrift latte, so good I got a second. Comfortable seating, atmosphere, and friendly fast service. Love it.

Such a wonderful place, I love shopping local. and the people here are so personable and friendly. The atmosphere is perfect it feels like time stops. Love it!!

This is such a cute bookshop/coffee shop. Their drinks are great (including their coffee, which I typically dont like) and they have a fairly large book selection for a small shop. I just wish they were open later at night.

I was pleasantly surprised by this bookstore. Erie is a tough market, I think, for independent bookstores. I was apprehensive when I heard that a new one was opening. I figured it would be small, with a limited selection of books, and maybe one of those bookstores thats more of a gift shop/boutique than an actual bookstore. But Pressed is first-rate. Here are a few things I like about it. First, its much larger than I expected, with a surprisingly large collection of books. Second, its a clean and elegant space, with a lot of very thoughtful details, such as a table promoting local authors, and some neat reading spots for kids. The coffee shop is excellent. Probably one of the nicest places to read and drink coffee since the Brick House closed. Best of all, the selection of books is fantastic. One of my frustrations with large brick-and-mortar bookstores is that they dont actually sell that many books. Barnes & Noble is okay, I suppose, if you need Funko dolls, or the YA novel-of-the-month. but Its hard to find actual good books. But each time Ive gone to Pressed Ive walked away impressed by how thoughtfully curated its selection of books is.

My favorite spot in all of Erie! Not only is it stocked with the best selection of books around, but amazing gifts and other fun things too! Ive given out gifts from Pressed twice, both of which were praised as unique and perfect! But if you think the awesome-ness of Pressed stops there, hold those horses! Their cafe has the most absolutely delicious muffins and coffee drinks (lovingly pictured here). I

Excellent service. Great selection of coffee drinks.

My mom and I just went to pressed and were impressed. There were many creative offerings to choose from. The service was great and though I didnt find we waited that long, the barista apologized for our wait and gave us 20% off the next time we visit. I find that to be an extremely smart business move as they are ensuring their customers satisfaction and loyal clientele. My mother and Is lattes came out perfectly and helped pick us up on a not great day. The bookstore was professionally put together and I would highly recommend, especially for gifts this holiday season. Im thankful for the gem that Pressed is, and the good that they have brought to the gem city!

A warm and inviting atmosphere. As well as the perfect blend of a coffee shop with a bookstore. A place to warm your belly, mind and soul.

It was such an amazing find. I cant wait to go back. The kids section was charming and they had a great selection. Next time I am going to try the coffee shop!

Stopped by the coffee shop and bookstore today and it is really great. The coffee was delicious and the bookstore is really awesome. Love the layout of the kids space its so amazing! Bookstore has a wife variety of books and Knick knacks. Really loved the environment!

Today I was at the coffee shop and treated by these two wonderful employees. Both of the girls working were very nice and were able to help me with my order and brightened my day.

Such a great local bookstore!

This is my favorite place to go! Love getting my coffee and looking at all the books. There is a wide variety of books to look at too! My kiddos love the kid section!

Lovely atmosphere, great book selection and coffee shop!

Cutest coffee shop, book store, gift shop! The staff is pleasant and helpful, and the coffee is delicious. The atmosphere is just lovely and you never want to leave. Erie needed this so badly!

I have been to this place several times since opening, and was waiting patiently while they were working on opening! I have never fell in love with a book store or coffee shop like I have here. I feel like Im getting lost in a book museum with the most beautiful versions of books I could imagine. The atmosphere is so relaxing and I could spend so much time there easily. They have a little something for everyone, and the kids room is amazingly done! I also enjoy the coffee side, and how clean everything is! I have had several things from their menu already and have 0 complaints. I had the pleasure of eavesdropping on the owner and a coworkers about flavors to add to their menu, and I added my opinion...shortly after it was added! They listen and will give their honest opinion on books too...read their reviews and suggestions!!!

Lovely little independent book store.

Good iced coffee. The attached book store is also really nice. Good selection and great layout.

I simply love the place! A great coffee shop and bookstore.

Its a nice environment to sit and read a book. Ask me about Coffee? Ive had better.

Ithanks

First experience and I loved it. Great tea, great atmosphere, slightly chilly in here though... the womens bathroom is awesome and clean!

Clean and attractive coffee shop and bookstore. Great lemongrass ginger tea.

I complain about everything yet I dont have a single complaint about this place. Its the perfect little coffee shop and book store.

Nice little bookstore my daughter loves the kids area with a. Fake tree to sit in and some stuffed animals.

Good coffee, friendly service and a different selection of books than what you find at the bigger stores.

I didnt like the coffee very much. Odd taste. Nice place though

Great coffee and baked goods.

Very cute bookstore with a lot of choices for children and adults

Great coffee. Great atmosphere. Friendly staff

Great coffee, great people! Love the bookstore too.

UPDATE: tried the lemon poppyseed muffin, OMG YUMMMM!Great coffee, a little pricey but worth it. Comfortable and clean atmosphere. My boyfriend loved the chocolate salted caramel biscotti. Will be back to try the lemon poppy seed muffin ( they where sold out today 😺)Extra points for the paper straws!

Great coffee, great book selections, comfortable seating.

Cool atmosphere, delightful coffee and a wonderful staff. One of the best coffee shops in town, and its open past 4pm.

Quiet little bookstore and lovely cafe. Great for a cup of coffee and a bit of reading.

Wonderful store. So many wonderful books and decorative items.

I love to spend hours in this place, reading and sipping almond milk mochas.

Great place and very yummy coffee!
