Great coffee in a nice, spacious shop. Plenty of different seating to hang out, work, or just enjoy your coffee. I got an americano and liked the beans. Service was quick and friendly. Had some baked goods, small selection. Very reasonable prices…would definitely go back.

What a beacon of light this coffee shop is. It truly is a place that is interested in inclusion and community-building, complete with homemade zines about civil rights and a lovely little library for customers to enjoy. They sell products from local vendors and display beautiful local art.
And their coffee is great, to boot! I told the barists what I like, and she recommended the perfect cup of joe for me. The price was good, too!
My brother bought a sweater from here and said it’s the softest sweater he’s ever had.
This place creates an atmosphere for community that’s irreplaceable. I strike up the most wonderful conversations with other customers that sometimes last for hours, and I believe that is because of how safe we all feel in this lovely little coffee shop. Absolutely an Erie gem!

Absolutely LOVE Ember + Forge! Delicious coffee, prime location, and such a great community feel. The baristas and fellow customers are always so friendly, and they do so much for the community. I even had my dream Friends themed bridal shower here on their orange couch. An absolute must-stop while visiting Erie or just on a casual Saturday around town.

Very very busy but great coffee and nice selection with lots of substitutions. I got the chai latte with a double shot of espresso and oat milk, caramel latte, and s’mores brownie. Long line and not much seating. Very small trashcan?
They had a couple vendor tables with cool products. Staff was very friendly and helpful despite being so busy! Nice selection of cute products like candles, art, etc.

Ember+Forge is a community staple. Not only is their coffee my personal favorite in Erie, they hold so many events that celebrate and bring together our city. The staff here is incredible, always kind and accepting of all that through the doors. Highly recommend stopping in and I guarantee being here will only make your day brighter.

Idk man something about a conservative loser whining about the inclusiveness of a space/business just makes me want to go there more. And if I could @ Emily Walker under her review I would. Being open about being pro-immigrants, pro-lgbt, pro-rights is amazing. Plus the coffee is fantastic and the pastries are local-made with love, with vegan/GF options and a nice variety of items and flavors. I’ve been going here since before COVID and every single person behind the bar has always been so welcoming and knowledgable. If you have a problem with a coffee shop being progressive, maybe DON’T walk in after seeing the pride flags and “we stand with immigrants” signs. But if you want a cozy coffee spot that welcomes everyone and you appreciate a truly GOOD cup of coffee, this is the place for you.

Absolutely loved this spot! I had the lavender latte and a slice of coffee cake and both were fantastic. Cozy vibe, friendly staff, and great quality all around. Can’t wait to come back and try more off the menu!

I went to an after reg business hours Artist Talk-Back. It was really calm and cozy, felt like I had walked into someone’s home, & I was welcomed by the artist and engaged in wonderful conversation immediately. There were snacks n beverages available or you could order coffee. The furniture selection to sit on varied and was very comfortable. The event itself was very laid back, which I appreciated because of its authenticity and vulnerability. Inlook forward to attending more events here! Thank you for a lovely evening!

E&F is a clean, welcoming, community-forward coffee shop located in downtown Erie. It’s the kind of place 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.

Ember + Forge has always been a welcoming environment. I have had many meetings here and the atmosphere has always been great. I also love ordering a hot chai tea seems like they get it right every time. If you’re ever in the downtown Erie area, make sure to stop by and give them a try. You won’t be disappointed!
