I absolutely adore this bakery. The sweets and coffee are so good. My top two favorite treats to buy are the banana bread and the olive oil lemon infused pastries. I also really enjoy the people that work there. They are so welcoming and kind. I normally get served by Katie and she is the nicest person ever. She is genuinely just a good person and people like that truly enrich the environment. The atmosphere of the place is also refreshing and I enjoy that it is a woman owned bakery. Any time I've been there I've always been greeted kindly by whomever is there.

Such an awesome place! The Pistachio, Rose cheesecake was amazing! I also got the artichoke quiche so delicious! I will definitely be back for more!!!

This Family owned Charmer in Rutherford is a must experience if you love a coffee and pastry vibe! Seasonal items all the time, fresh made bakes until it sells out (and things DO sell Out)
*pro tip: the bird catches the worm. There's always things to buy, but stock starts running low by 12ish! It gets busy but lines move relatively quick!
Ambiance: Located right off Park Ave on Franklin Ave, is a little Coffeeshop and bakery with a beautiful rustic vibe, upon entering you see counter decorated with both savory and sweet pastries and baked goods! There's no indoor seating as it's quite cozy but they do have a few cute tables for outdoor seating and standing tables on the windows which is nice! There's a little area on the wall that's got some fun merch like tea, totes, and cute cups!
Food: Variety is the spice of life and Erie brings us an array of both Savory and Sweet for every pallet! They take alot of global influence in their sweets, like bringing us Arabic bread, and using ingredients like ricotta in some of their pastries! There's a variety of seasonal items and some staples like their cinnamon rolls, scones and biscuits! Everything is prepped fresh while most of us are asleep and coffee brewed fresh for maximum flavor! Trust when I say this bakery isn't just full of cupcakes, there is an array of flavors for everyone with even sandwiches served on Wednesday, Friday and Saturdays!
Overall Service: I've been here a few times already and each time whether busy or slow, the kindness and pride in service is the same! Everyone at the counter is so sweet and will always go one by one with telling you the pastries when you ask what everything is! Remember if you want a place to sit down, make sure the weather is nice to try and grab one of the tables for a coffee, pastry and chat because there's no room to sit inside. Inside is just for the baked goodness

Erie Cafe has hands down the BEST desserts and service in all of Rutherford. If you haven’t been here yet, you’re seriously missing out. Be warned though—the olive oil citrus cake is dangerously addictive. I love it so much, I make sure to treat myself to it every year on my birthday. That’s how good it is.
The atmosphere is cozy, the staff is always welcoming, and everything they serve is top quality. Erie Cafe is a must-visit spot, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a sweet escape and outstanding service.

Heard a lot about this place and wanted to give it a shot. It’s a cute place right off a side street and the inside is pretty cozy and bright. We only ordered iced coffees and they didn’t really taste like anything? I would go back and try a pastry and maybe a different drink.

I really love this place. Every time I come in, I’m greeted right away and I personally love their homemade vanilla syrup in my coffee. Nothing even beats their citrus olive oil cakes! Love what they stand for and happy to see a local bakery flourish

I was so impressed with the pastry and apple muffin my husband surprised me with today! He stopped in there and ordered it for takeout. It was nothing like I ever had before it was so delicious! Definitely be back! I highly recommend this place!
Moved to Rutherford a few years ago and not long after was told about Erie. Going in there to get a coffee, quiche and pastry has now become a part of my weekend ritual and really sets a positive tone for my week
They have been nothing but kind and accommodating - very reminiscent of the cafe i grew up going to with my family. I was reminded of Erie’s kindness today when I accidentally cut myself on my umbrella right before entering. They were very compassionate and helpful in getting me back up to speed. Nowadays that sort of thoughtfulness is hard to come by, especially from a business, and it’s a testament to who they are as a company and as people. Thanks Erie for your help and for the citrus olive cakes I can’t seem to go a week without.

I was finally able to try this bakery for our party after years of wanting to, and it absolutely exceeded all expectations. The citrus olive oil Bundt cake was hands down the best thing I’ve ever tasted – I had it for both dessert and breakfast! The owner is not only incredibly talented but also kind and accommodating. All of our guests loved the dessert, and I’ll definitely be a returning customer.
