Watching this small business successfully grow and evolve over the years while remaining true to their brand, mission, and quality has been an absolute joy!

I've watched Bees Knees Coffee from the very beginning in their humble origins of the 1967 revamped trailer to the most recent addition of a brick and mortar location.

Through each phase of this transformative journey, Bees Knees has never strayed from delivering consistent, quality product by real human beings. After a visit or two, they'll know you by name, remember your preferences, and probably ask how your kids and pets are doing.

Buying and supporting local, lifting up the community from within. Truly an integral element of a progressing and developing community, and a benefit to all who patron and experience the business for themselves.

I wouldn't do anything for a Klondike bar, but I would do a lot of things for a Bees Knees sugar cookie...and a flower power lemonade...and a hazelnut latte...

Took a stop at the Bees Knees Coffee window in pleasant gap one morning. Service was super slow, so I ran across the street and spent some time in the Cake Shop by Tati munching on a delicious croissant. After I was done there, I went back over to Bees Knees where my coffee still wasn’t done. I understand that pulling a double shot for an iced latte does take longer than iced coffee or cold brew, but it still was on the slow side. The prices were on the higher side, especially if you want any flavors. As far as flavor, I would appreciate more homemade syrups/sauces over the wide range of Torani they currently carry. The espresso itself was ok, though a touch on the acidic side from the shot being pulled too quickly. Overall, I would say that the average caffeine seeker would be happy enough, while more serious coffee connoisseurs and baristas might not find it with their time.

Not sure with how the atmosphere is but I'm sure it's great as our work ordered these and I was clueless but ordered a caramel latte with oat milk and didn't expect it to be too great... BUT it was amazing!!!!!actually if it wasn't further away I would suggest this drink over ANY OTHER COFFEE SHOPS!!!

Bees Knees Coffee is a treat to a coffee lover. We seek out the coffee trailer where ever it may be to get those delicious drinks. If we can't make it out, we utilize their on line ordering system to place orders where they CAN it for you. What a great way to keep the caffeine flowing.

We once drove from the far west side of State College all the way past the east side of Bellefonte just to grab one last coffee from their trailer. Truly the best in town!

Bees knees coffee is fantastic! I always keep an eye out for the trailer whenever I’m at a local farmers market or street fair. Whoever makes their baked oatmeal should get an award — that stuff is amazing! I love getting an afternoon pick me up and getting some baked oatmeal to go to have for breakfast the next morning.

Just got a hot honey latte, that is not hot. Bitter.
Thank you, Bees Knees for offering a do over.

Best Coffee in Centre County.

Ali Campbell

Literally the best coffee and best coffee shop around. The workers are always incredibly friendly, hardworking, and of course, gorgeous. The coffee is consistent, delicious, and the menu has a wide array of flavors and combinations...not to mention amazing baked goods! The people here make you feel seen and always have a kind demeanor. Great for a daily treat on the go!

Excellent coffee and a nice variety for all taste preferences. I love their portable options that I buy from Centre Markets!

Great. Fantastic. Amazing. Phenomenal. Wonderful. Outstanding. I could go on … but I think that gets the idea across!Such a cool venue that is keeping local culture and character alive.Everything I’ve tried has been fantastic - but honestly their Arnold Palmer is so good I rave about it. “Yes. You have to try this coffee place… but order a coffee, and also get an Arnold Palmer. I know. Two drinks might seem excessive but you have to do it if it’s your first visit.”
