Not a fan, called coffee culture and had maybe 3 coffee choices. Bought a soup and salad combo and both were awful. Never again.

Great prices and really good staff, very patient with me as I dug my money out of my disorganized wallet. The setting is really nice and relaxed. I could barely tell that it was on peach street to be honest. The employees were fun to talk to and were so polite. I ordered a Belgium waffle and a medium hot chocolate under ten dollars! Best waffle Ive ever had in Erie! Im definitely going back, also their wifi is super fast so I could do school work there.

Great employees, very dark space. Over priced sandwiches, bacon was overcooked. Iced latte was good though. Over all not a bad experience but not worth the money spent

Another proof that Canadians contribute to American culture and when I need food or coffee, they surprise me again and again. What a phenomenal place...

This is my favorite place to eat in Erie. It is cheap, quick and always made consistently the same. Their breakfast deal can’t be beat and tastes like what I would make for myself at home. It’s a coffee plus an egg and cheese sandwich on a toasted English muffin - we add bacon to it and I believe it’s right around $4. For lunch, I am addicted to the chicken Cesar salad wrap. The dressing is delicious, they use real bacon and also a spring mix blend of lettuce. The chicken is real grilled chicken, not the rubbery stuff that gets thrown in the microwave. They used to put shavings of Parmesan cheese on it, but I believe they changed to the sticks, which was a bit of a bummer. The baked goods are to die for - the chocolate croissant is my daughters favorite. Love the coffee, atmosphere and people that work there. They are always willing to go above and beyond.

Coffee is good and relaxing atmosphere. Prices can be a little higher than I’d prefer but worth it for the quality. Nice workers willing to help. Glad i came across this place!

This coffee here is excellent. Its a little crowded (probably because the coffee is good). We will definitely go here again.

Cool environment. It seems like a great place for college students to meet to work on projects. Definitely a younger crowd but anyone could enjoy it. Its always nice to visit coffee shops/meeting spots that are different than the typical chain establishment. My husband and I enjoyed our stop and plan to visit again when we are in the area.

The interior is beautiful and clean, however the space is very loud. My friend and I met at 8am last week and with just a few other tables of people in the center of the space, it was very hard to hear each other at times in the back corner. I have been here three times, and the first two times I ordered just regular coffee. Service was fast. This last time I ordered the breakfast wrap which was delicious, but I went to order my drink of choice at any coffee shop (Flat White) and both employees had no idea how to make it. This is partly on me because I didnt even look at the menu board, but, with a name like Coffee Culture it elicits a certain connotation: there will be variety in coffee drinks. I had a latte with almond milk which was good, but if youre looking for variety this is not the place to go. While waiting for my order I did look at the board and you can get regular coffee, a few specialty ones like Frozen Cap/Fraps, and lattes. Tipsy Bean and Ember + Forge offer a lot more choices for coffee people who like to try new drinks or have a coffee house fave with special requirements. I would only return again if a friend could only meet at this particular location in Erie.

Im always pleasantly surprised by this place. Im no fan of coffee, but their other drinks here are always really good, especially for the prices. Portions for the meals are great, and the people working here are really nice.

Only reason I’m leaving a lower review is because they didn’t process my credit purchase for over a month. I went there on 1/14 and the charge just went through on a Thursday (just before payday) 2/18. Thankfully my checkbook is balanced, so I’m OK. I know that businesses have like 180 days to process charges, I just think it’s rude to wait as long as they did to process a charge like that; not best business practices...

Great place to chill, get away, eat some good food. I will be back with my friends. Similar to a place in Denver I loved.

Fantastic place to work on school work or real work with a cup of coffee and a snack. The ambiance is quiet but lively and I most definitely appreciated all of the good food. All coffee shops should be like this one.

I have a gluten allergy and am vegan. It can be difficult sometimes to find places to eat. This place is amazing for this. Staff was well versed on both! Would highly recommend!!

Review №21

Although Ive given 4 stars to the place I also wants to warn anyone with nuts(peanuts, walnuts, etc.) allergies to avoid the place. My daughter is allergic to nuts and although her order did not contain nuts she needed medical emergency. We can only presume there were nuts on the counter where her sandwich was prepared. Sadly, we wont return. Everybody else enjoy the cafe.

Coffee Culture is a great, cozy, restaurant to hang out and catch up with friends. Friendly staff and a great selection of food, I love the buffalo chicken sandwich. Excellent hot chocolate and milkshake drinks. Their cookies are huge too! It can be busy on some days/mornings with the LECOM students studying.

Review №23

Nice little place, great atmosphere. As a non-coffee drinker I would have liked to see some more tea offerings than just bagged, but it is a coffee place so I cant fault them too much. The pastries are great and the food menu looked very nice, although I didnt have anything on my visit.

Really good coffee and food. Enjoyed the blueberry muffin I had, very fresh. My latte was perfect. The place is clean with lots of seating. I enjoyed the sofa chair by the fireplace and TV. The lighting is dim inside.

House blend was good. Strong array of food items for everyone. Breakfast burrito came out slightly cold but still delicious.

Review №28

Its a coffee shop and fast casual restaurant. Im not a coffee drinker, so Im not going to comment on the coffee. I am, however, a food eater so I do feel qualified to comment about that. They have a really limited menu and the food is good but nothing special. Its very pricey for simple soup and sandwiches. They have no kids menu but they do have high chairs (why? Lol). My 2 year old got a bowl of soup, but soup isnt something you really want a toddler eating when youre out and about with no access to a bathtub. My father really loves this place, but I just found it to be nothing special and really had a difficult time finding something to eat off the small menu that Id like (and Im by no means a picky eater).

I occasionally will drive an hour and a half just to get a cup of their coffee. I brought a bag of ground coffee home with me on my last visit; I dont know what they do to make it taste so good but I was disappointed in the bagged coffee. I guess Ill just have to keep diving to Erie!

Menú looks good, I was expecting more coffee options. Frozen lemonade was delicious. Their version of a frap uses ice cream as a base (good to know).

I may have sat here for 5 hours working on a project... breakfast was great and my lunch was huge. The $8 half sandwich plus salad (or soup) combo is a great deal. Try it.

Review №36

Great food, great drinks, and great service! This is the place to go if you are a college student. On weekdays at night this place is littered with college students slaving away at coursework and hanging out in great company with friends. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends.

Review №37

The one thing that keeps me from giving them a 5 star rating is the acoustics in the restaurant. The food is very good. I had a breakfast wrap and my wife had a salad with chicken. Both were delicious and my coffee was great. The problem is that with only 10 people in the whole restaurant I still had to raise my voice to speak with my wife who was sitting across the table from me. I could hear every detail of the conversation between two patrons sitting on the other side of the restaurant. This was not the comfortable breakfast/lunch setting that I was hoping for. In a pinch, I might go back, but there are many more eateries around that offer a quiet, comfortable place to enjoy a meal.

Nice, quiet. No one rushes you. Employees dont pay any attention to you once you leave the counter, so if you want to hang out, cool.

Dont go there today! I made the mistake to stop in to order ONE sandwich. Took me 15 minutes. The girl at the counter Had NO clue how to do my sandwich. She kept looking at the menu board. I specifically said to go over four times. The slow poke without a clue...put it on a plate! So then I had to wait for someone to come along and put it in something to go. Customer Service is lacking!!!!

MELISSA Was my barista I had a cali grilled cheese with red pepper gouda soup followed by a mango blended monster smoothie. But back to my barista she was fantastic very attentive and easy on the eyes I noticed she wore a ring on her left hand! So Im going to assume that she has a very lucky man..

It was very loud. Not like they were a lot of people talking loud, but just loud in general. I dont know if it was there HVAC unit or what. And the chocolate scones were very stale. They did Apologize and youre very sweet about it.

I love Coffee Culture because they have something on the menu for everyone. Whether you are looking for coffee or a frozen non caffeinated drink, they have many different drinks. They have lots to choose from for breakfast, such as scones, muffins, and I believe breakfast sandwiches. They also serve lunch/dinner meals, which are very good.I almost gave this a 4 star rating, but decided not to because Coffee Culture has a great menu, great drinks, and great service. The reason I almost gave 4 stars was because of prices. Coffee Culture is typically not a cheap date. For example a small Strawberries and Cream chiller, which is a delicious, non caffeinated smoothie type of beverage is over $4.00. If you have lunch or dinner here, be prepared to spend around at least $10.00 on your meal, if not more. As I mentioned though, their food is delicious.

I am from out of town and saw this place. Thought it would be nice for a late night desert. The barista was rather rude and did not know what was in the bakery case. Since my wife and I have never been here we had to take a few minutes to look over the options and the barista was very cold towards us when we finally ordered. We will have did a different place to stop next the we are in town.

Review №94

I wish I had more positive to say about this place but with a name like Coffee Culture I expected real coffee here and not some generic blend pre-made and bland. I would compare the food as equivalent to Sheetz, and the coffee is probably not quality as well if I had to judge. I went here expecting a craft coffee shop and instead got what felt very corporate and impersonal. It was a huge disappointment on a Sunday morning where I really needed a tasty pick me up and instead felt like I could have got ten times better food at Panera Bread.

Good coffee, friendly service, but Im leaving four stars because i think its lame you cant tip the staff. You can tip baristas at ALL coffee shops and I was kind of put off that you couldnt here.

Review №96

The coffee was so burned. So burned. They probably dont even know it either. They have also removed their organic roast from the menu. The staff was nice and their baked goods looked amazing! They should change their name to BAKED GOODS CULTURE. But Coffee Culture is HUGE overstatement.

I swear every time were in Erie, my husband argue about where to eat. We always go to the Chipotle. Fridays is trash. We are always there on vacation in Westfield, so no other chain sounds appealing. This was a nice Lets just pick a place to have lunch option. I really enjoyed the sandwich I had.
