Erie Coffeeshop & Bakery

If you're expecting a large assortment of the ubiquitous bakery offerings, this place is not for you. The selection, while fairly small, is flawlessly executed. I bought apple cake, gluten free cookies, gluten free scones and other goodies on the advice of staff-- all in all, seven different things. I didn't need the staff's encouragement. Every single thing looked, and was, superb -- right down to the latte. The apple cake jas me in a choke hold: not sweet, moist, tinged with vanilla and cinnamon and utterly ridiculous in its simplicity. I went back for a second, then third. Having grown up in Europe, these are the kind of sweet treats I miss most: not laden with sugar but with vanilla, cinnamon, almonds, walnuts. I live 50 minutes away and will happily drive back to get my fix. The staff is knowledgeable, pleasant, friendly. And the baker is too tier!

The Roasted Banana Bread here is very good. Not too sweet and not bland. Anthony gibes great customer service too. My friend ordered a cappuccino and she said it was very good too. They have gluten free options also on some of their pastries. If i visit again, i will stop by here.
