| - My friend was visiting from North Carolina, and after her 8-hour drive, decided she needed some coffee before we could do anything else. The only coffee place I knew of within walking distance of me was Starbucks - so I decided to Yelp around to find somewhere else, and came across Erie Island.
SO glad I did! Erie Island was everything I want in a coffee shop - good, reasonably priced coffee, intelligent and slightly eclectic baristas, local artwork on the walls, and COMFORTABLE chairs. Seriously, could have sat here all night.
They actually gave my friend a larger size coffee for free - they had accidentally poured some coffee for another customer, so rather than tossing it, gave it to my friend (who had ordered the same thing, but a smaller size).
The coffee-bean filled glass art right about the counter is pretty cool - until you start thinking it looks like mucus. Then it's a little gross and weird. SORRY FELLOW YELPERS FOR POINTING THIS OUT TO YOU!
Overall, cool place, glad they were open late, and a great alternative to Starbucks.
