11 Best Coffee Shops in Altoona

“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.“

“This place is an absolute gem! The atmosphere is incredible, and the staff are always so welcoming and friendly. The owner genuinely treats you like a friend from the moment you walk in. If you're a fan of Marvel or Lord of the Rings, you’ll love the decor—it adds so much character to the space. Plus, their matcha is top-tier; easily one of my favorite spots to grab a cup. Highly recommend!“

“Super nice workers and my favorite place to stop for redbull infusions or coffee!“

“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!!! 🥺💙🙌🏼“

“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 😊🫶🏼☕“

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

“They were able to accommodate GF. The cook asked how sensitive I was and I told him I have celiac disease. He cleaned everything, cut new veggies, and even made bacon for my order. The GF bread they used is the best I’ve had since I started gluten free diet.

Dietary restrictions: I have celiac disease and cross-contamination is very real for me. They excelled in accommodating me.“

“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.“

“Quick, friendly service!

Vegetarian options: I am not super sure since I don’t really
Pay much attention to that stuff, but I know they have avocado stuff and egg and cheese stuff.

Parking: Around building in private Dunkin’ parking lot. LOTS of parking spaces!

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy accessible building entrance.“

“1st shift is awesome. Drinks are made right and quick. I've been getting the same drink almost daily for 5 years. 2nd shift for the past year has continuously failed to perform and today when the girl messes up my drink and doesn't even bother to fill it all the way (almost a full inch from the top) so I ask to have it topped off with Ice or coffee she proceeds to give an attitude. Then I get home with my coffee and not only does it not have almost any cream but it also has regular sugar and my son's mocha coffee had no cream either. This is the 5th time that this girl herself has messed up my drink. I have a drink left over from yesterday that's been in my fridge all day and is half empty-this one had the correct amount of cream and is about 10 shades lighter in color. Second shift is also incredibly slow for drive thru service so to make this many mistakes when it takes forever with almost no/zero cars in the drive thru is crazy.“
