22 Best Coffee Shops in State College

“Loved swinging by Vibe Coffee when we were in town for football. Friendly staff and excellent coffee! I definitely recommend the grilled stickies iced latte! Maybe I should be glad we don’t live closer…it would be addictive! 😉“

“I love Chew Chew Bun! Both the buns and coffee drinks always taste amazing and FRESH. My all-time favorite is the Nutella cheese bun. Plus Skye and all the employees are so friendly. I always try to support this local business!“

“Eden Valley is centre county’s best coffee shop in our opinion! Zoe and Jack are always so accommodating, friendly and the service is fast! They always do their best to make every customer happy and feel at home. I love this place, I definitely recommend checking it out! ☕️😁“

“I am so thankful I am for Penn Valley Cafe. I fly in and out of here several times a month for my work commute and really love having Francisco and Penn Valley here. My commute doesn't always line up with the flights so I usually spend about an hour here before the ticket counters open. Love the Cafe con leche!! ☕️“

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

“Great place and delicious coffee! I visited last weekend, had some pour over and bought some beans! Flashforward to today and I just ordered 5lbs of the Guatamalan!“

“The most incredible venue for a wedding. We recently had the pleasure of having our wedding (rehearsal, ceremony & reception) at the Graduate Hotel. The atmosphere, staff and venue were absolutely perfect. Both Jessica and Mark went above and beyond to ensure our wedding went off without a hitch. And the food was to die for! Every step of the wedding planning process, Jessica worked with us to make sure our wedding day so special and everything we hoped it to be. On the day of, Mark went above and beyond to carry out our vision and make it perfect. Their hospitality was more than anyone could have asked for and we will forever recommend this venue to all.“

“A really nice place! I feel warm and safe here. Thanks all of you.“

“its monday august 4, 15:30. maybe 5 people inside and 2 guys working, greeted me immediately with pep! i had one simple beverage and one with complicated requests. repeated it back to me and made sure i got exactly what i wanted. had the first drink before i even paid! loved it. great service. made one of those days into a pretty good day.“

“Such a friendly, warm atmosphere. Great bagels!!!💕“

“I was there this morning and one person (I think he said his name was Aman) was running the whole place by himself. And it was busy! I know this happens by chance sometimes, but this guy was pumping out drinks, serving food, and taking orders seamlessly and without attitude.

Kudos, dude! You deserve the biggest raise allowed.“

“Food is very good and there is a large assortment of Asian food which is unique for a small town like this. HOWEVER, they sell fake labubus for $18. Make sure to check the packaging before you buy it, because they are fake. But if you don’t buy the labubus you will have a great time.“

“For matcha lovers: order from another edge location bc more often than not it WILL be very clumpy and bitter here!!
Otherwise, all other drinks are made well, especially the caramel brulee latte. They dont have a thing to warm pastries up either, so do with that information what you will“

“I went to 7 Brew expecting a typical drive-thru coffee spot. What I got instead was a full-blown beverage experience.This place is NOT just coffee. The menu includes shakes, frozen lemonades, regular iced lemonades, energy drinks, fizz sodas, smoothies, teas, and fully customizable coffee drinks. The variety genuinely caught me off guard in the best way.I ordered a Watermelon Lemonade and a Chocolate Shake.
The Watermelon Lemonade was refreshing, clean, and balanced. It wasn’t overly sugary or artificial tasting. It had that crisp, bright flavor that actually quenches your thirst instead of just coating your mouth in syrup.The Chocolate Shake was thick, smooth, and rich. Not watery. Not icy. Just a solid, well-made shake that felt like a proper dessert.One detail I really appreciated: they use different size straws depending on the drink. The shake came with a taller straw, and the lemonade had a standard one. It’s a small thing, but it shows attention to detail and makes the experience better.Customization is another huge plus. You can adjust sweetness, choose flavors, add drizzles, and mix combinations across different drink types. It feels more like a beverage lab than just a coffee stand.Service was quick, ordering was easy, and the overall setup is efficient. It’s perfect for people on the go, especially late-night runs.If you think 7 Brew is just coffee, you’re missing out. It’s a creative drink spot with way more variety than expected.Definitely coming back.“

“I always always order the loaded hashbrowns and this dunkin is the only one that fills the cup full with bacon! I’ve been to multiple locations and they barely put any bacon or cheese but this location does it perfectly! I drive out of my way to go there! They always know exactly what I want also!“

“Visit nearly every morning. could have better variety of donuts and donuts are fresh at 7 a.m. However if you stop in afternoon variety of donuts decrease.“

“Staff was exceptional! Served 20 people in the short 10 minutes we were there, and continued to be pleasant. The only downside is that Starbucks does not have a card tipping option at this location. Shame on Starbucks, these people deserved it.“

“very delicious food. friendly staff.“

“Although there is a long line many days - the staff does a great job of staying on top of it and smiling through. And...when mobile app equipment was down and they had no way of telling people ordering...drinks were put first upon your arrival and free for the inconvenience. Keep up the good work - being across the street from 46K students and 20K employees makes this a very busy Starbucks!“

“Great food and people. will definitely be back.“

“Fast, pleasant service. 👍“

“The restaurant was very clean and the drinks we ordered were made perfectly. Everything tasted great including the bakery goods. The bathrooms though were super dirty and needed a cleaning very badly. We also were the only ones that had placed orders inside and after using the restroom we were still waiting for our drinks because they were all only worried about making the drinks for the drive thru.“
