8 Best Coffee Shops in Altoona

“Something I learned over the past 2 years is that green bean coffee house is an absolute blessing to the homeless community. Overflow church as well as other churches and organizations come together to host a warming center each night through the winter for the homeless and green bean coffee is one of those organizations that assist with it. The night I volunteered overnight, in the morning green bean donated hot breakfasts to all the homeless. They also allow you to pay for a coffee or hot cocoa in advance so that when a homeless person comes in, they can ask for one without question. I am so moved by their love and compassion for those less fortunate. Not to mention their food and coffee is delicious!“

“got reservations to do pottery with my 4 year old. She was super supportive, understanding of potential messes. All around a kind atmosphere, from the barista to the pottery. THANK YOU GUYS.“

“I love their seasonal coffees! It is so nice to go into a coffee shop and have such helpful employees and always good coffee! Their baked goods are fantastic as well!“

“My favorite Starbucks to hit up in town 😎 I always order ahead and my drinks are always ready for me at the counter. The staff is super friendly and they always offer a bag and carrier if I have multiple drinks. I usually pick up for me and my Granny and it makes it so much easier carrying everything I have into her place when I arrive. Also the artwork killer! Had to add that 😊🫶🏼☕“

“Born and raised in Altoona, PA. and I know some of the Sheetz family. A Grandfather owned a dairy and several times on Christmas Eve, he brought us goodies (in the 50’s). The Sheetz “clan” is a wonderful family. I had the pleasure of shopping in the first 2 Sheetz “Kwik Shoppers” in Altoona. I know several high school class mates who have retired from Sheetz and enjoyed their time working there. Now, we just got the first Sheetz relatively close by in Michigan. Been there twice so far. In sum, the Sheetz family are a wonderful bunch. I hope Michigan enjoys Sheetz as much as Sheetz enjoys Michigan.“

“Meet Logan- The premier Barista at Altoona Starbucks. He’s is so kind, patient and helpful every single time!! We come back because of you!! Thank you, Logan for making our experience so fantastic!!! 🥺💙🙌🏼“

“Delicious coffee roasted right here in Hollidaysburg. Highly recommend!“

“There was only one guy tonight, I didn't catch his name but he was giving exemplary customer service and was speedy too. Wish they would staff more people when they're the only one open but the man working tonight made the 10 to 15 minute wait worth it.“
