WC Clarke's The Cheese Shoppe

One of my favorite places in State College. Maybe the best coffee in town and they have an awesome selection of cheeses.

Glad to see the Cheese Shoppe alive and well over all these years. It's a true delight, and I miss the place. Hat's off to you, Bill. -PSU '13

Mmmm just the yummy coffee roasting smell wakes you up!! Lovely source for good cheeses as well.

I'm so glad to work above the best coffee shop in town! Amazing cheese as well! I highly recommended chocolate covered espresso beans! 🤤

The original coffee roaster in State College, we love their Sumatra and Bourbon Santos. They have a nice selection of cheeses as well as other unique items. Buy the locally made salted caramels, they're amazing! The horseradish spreadable cheese is also delicious.

Best coffee in the world. I still order coffee from Mr Clark occasionally and I graduated and moved away from State College 10 yrs ago.

I visited a few days ago with my husband, and the place is super cute with amazing service! We got free donuts, and the coffee here is above average. My husband ordered an Americano—he's a coffee addict and maniac—and I was surprised he gave it a high score. Keep up the good work, guys!

Best cappuccino in State College by miles. There are some good places around here, but this one stands out. The coffee is excellent here and they make their drinks right. Very friendly and very good at what they do!

Cheese shoppe is the coolest cafe in State College. The owners are nice, all the baristas are social and happy to talk. The coffee is old-school which is a plus for me, and they regularly roast in house so you get to be there to see that as well. I wish they'd have more outdoor seating, but space is an issue so I get it.

The Cheese Shoppe's Guatemala Decaf is the best decaf that I have ever had. I travel an hour to get it every three weeks or so. I mix the decaf with regular coffee also from the Cheese Shoppe. It's insanely awesome! I love dark coffee beans and I am very picky. This place puts starbucks to shame! Their French, Burundi, Italian, Costa Rican, and Uncle Willie's Blend are fantastic. I have ordered stuff from all over the country and this place takes the cake. Thank you for being awesome!

Excellent coffee beans freshly roasted on the premises. Whole bean Vienna Roast gives me the best cup of coffee I've had anywhere.

Nothing like walking in and seeing and smelling the coffee being roasted fresh! Great cheese selection and the Mexican Organic coffee is our favorite.

Quaint shop, friendly service and the best coffee I’ve ever had, hands down! I recommended everyone new to town check out this lovely shop, set down from the way fruit market and India pavilion on Calder way.The Haitian is delicious. Cheers ☕️!
