Cafe Erica

It’s a cute cozy café, not as bright as like but still cute. I enjoy their ice coffee and ice green tea latte. Like previous reviews, the staff are friendly and great. They have delicious tuna melt on croissant bread. The price is slightly expensive on the food, but drinks are bit less expensive than Starbucks. The place can seat 17. Parking is plenty in the back.

They recently expanded their menu to include pizza and cheese steaks. Although we have quite a bit of competition in that arena here in town, theirs is different and blows the competition away! By far the best!

I work locally to this little café. The sign print is so small I passed by it for almost a year before actually noticing it at all. I went in to get a smoothie and a sandwich.
Upon entering I was greeted by 2 wonderful ladies. Very friendly, complimented me on the color of my scrubs… just an over all welcoming experience. They took my order and as I waited we continued in conversation.
The menu is a bit pricey for my taste but the smoothie and sandwich were good! I will return for another smoothie sooner than later!

If you had a bad cup of coffee or an espresso drink here in the past, you need to try it again! They have their act 100% together for coffee snobs, like myself. The staff is trained and they got a new coffee supplier that specialized is true Italian ‘coffee’. The quality is amazing! All of their patisseries come from a varies of local, high-​quality, artisan bakeries. My ONLY complaint is that the cookies are TOO BIG. I would love to have a simple small biscotti with my cuppa.
But the BEST thing about this place is the Staff. They know your order before you walk in the door. They even remember your «favortie mug» from their home-​spun collection of giant sized comfort mugs. They are just the nicest collection of ladies in the Lehigh Valley! It is better that coming home! :-)

A really nice to enjoy some coffee but a little expensive. Free internet though! A great place to go if you just want to relax and chat. There is a dunkin donuts down the street but if you actually want to enjoy your coffee this is the place to go!

I have been looking for good espresso in Eastern PA for three years. I had high hopes for Café Erica; it looks like it may be a proper coffee shop and even has a real espresso machine. However, it was my worst PA espresso purchase yet. I ordered a mocha. I was never able to find any chocolate anywhere near it. There was a vague hint of coffee, though elusive. In truth, it all appeared to be frothed milk.
Lest you think I don’t know what I’m taking about, I started drinking espresso in Italy many years ago, a habit I continued when I later lived in Geneva and for a long period of time in San Francisco. I have been able to stay away from Starbucks and their deadly mediocre coffee almost everywhere on the planet. Not in eastern Pennsylvania, though. Starbucks is the best that can be managed here, strange in a place where good regular coffee is available almost everywhere. I despair of ever finding a decent mocha within 500 miles of where I live.
I gave it a one because there is no zero.

This is my sister’s favorite coffee shop, and when she took me there I could see why. The people are warm and friendly, and the drinks are good. It’s a great locally-​owned escape from the Starbucks empire. We sat in easy chairs drinking tea out of fancy ceramic mugs and felt like queens. Next time I will try the delicious-​looking gelato!

The desserts are amazing. The sandwiches are priced a bit high, bet are still good.

Great coffee. I think they’re on par with Mocha Mike’s but with the added benefit of being an actual café instead of an inconvenient drive thru in the middle of nowhere. Lots of great looking desserts and other pastries on display. I only had time for a coffee but I’ll be back to try everything else.
According to the owner, all the baked goods are imported from New York. Sounds good to me. I just can’t get over the coffee and how smooth yet strong it was.
