“My wife, son, and I visited this store while in Erie and we truly felt the love and community that the staff have made there. While there, the staff all made us feel like we were home in their store. We stopped in to get a quick coffee but ended up buying a few books and wishing this wonderful place was closer to us! I was truly impressed how many customers the staff knew by name. They built such an incredible community here. We'll definitely visit the next time we're in town. :)”

“Classic B&N experience, takes you back to the early 00's. A must if you have never been or are nostalgic for a simpler time. Most cities don't have this any more, don't let this die Erie.”
“Love this place! The only thing is, I asked if they shipped online to Canada and they said yes, but they don’t.
Wouldn’t have signed up and paid for their loyalty club if I knew this- so I felt a bit ripped off
Otherwise Great clean store with tons of items”

“Plenty of Mercyhurst gear here but what makes this place stand out is the little coffee shop. They have friendly baristas who really seem to enjoy their job. They pretty much serve whatever Starbucks is serving so they stay up on the seasonal changes. They also serve excellent egg salad sandwiches and chicken salad sandwiches among other choices. And the cookies are top notch.”

“Over priced, get your books Amazon. Unless last mintue then buy here. There is a lot of promotions for clothing, so if your a broke college student wait until the holidays for deals.”
“I graduated from Behrend in 2004.. say it with me WE ARE! WE ARE! PENN STATE!! Great job! So I decided to swing by on my way back to Pittsburgh. I stopped in reed building to get a visitors pass. Then made my way to the alumni building. Wow everyone was so accommodating. I walked through campus and loved the trees, all the green and the new additions of Erie hall and much more. I am so proud to be a graduate of this campus. WE ARE!”
“Pressed Books & Coffee is a lovely spot. The macarons are delicious, and both the coffee and matcha taste great.
The bookstore next door is surprisingly large and very family‑friendly. There’s a dedicated kids’ area with plenty of books to read, a pretend tree‑hole play space, two small chairs, and lots of toys, stickers, puzzles, and even children’s clothing for sale.
A great place for both adults and kids to enjoy.”
