Nothing crazy. Im from NY and the bagels were like a 8/10 which were great but kinda pricey for just egg and cheese on a toasted bagel. Getting that at a deli like mclanahans cost $3-4 but its like $8 at Irvings…

Great experience. Even when busy, they hit it out of the park with coffee and breakfast sandwiches

Fade the blt. It’s 10 bucks and I got 3 pieces of lettuce. 1 piece of bacon and maybe 2 slivers of a Tomatoe. Not worth the 10 bucks. Take that and go to chipotle

Loved my lox & cream cheese on a tomato basil bagel. The service was slow, but they were crazy busy. The wait won't stop me from coming back.

Irving's is located across from Old Main right in Downtown State College. Food is delicious - bagels are fresh and coffee is tasty. I have now been to this location 3 times and each time, the experience gets worse. I realize they are a popular joint and this past weekend it was peak move in time for the college students; however, it was completely ridiculous that we waited 57 minutes for 2 bagels, a cappuccino, and an iced coffee.
The wait area is extremely uncomfortable with massive crowds hovering over the counters waiting desperately for their food. It felt like we were a bunch of sardines tightly packed in a tin can with barely any space to move. I am pretty sure it was probably against building code and a fire hazard as well, but I am not well versed in PA building code laws so I may be mistaken.
Seating is first come first served so it can be challenging to find a spot to enjoy your meal/drink.
I am not exaggerating when I say we waited 57 minutes. I checked the time on our receipt to when we got the food and it was 57 minutes. All 3 times I have been to this location the wait time has been outrageous, but this weekend was the worst. The previous 2 visits, the wait was around 35 minutes for bagels and coffee, which ok fine, in a busy downtown college town can be expected, but 57 minutes is completely unacceptable.
I typically avoid writing negative reviews; however, Irving's actually can be a great place because the food is absolutely delicious and I want to see them improve so that I am willing to visit again. I overheard several out of towners say they will never visit again due to the wait time and that actually makes me sad because I am PRO small business. They just need a better system to handle the crowds. I have several solutions for them (as a supply chain executive and a six sigma/lean practitioner) so they are welcome to reach out if interested.

Very good food and hardly wait time and fresh begals and cream cheese very good quality food a random stop but well worth the fact I did.
What a great find in State college. They just dunk near the cream cheese on. It is a block of cream cheese!

Only gluten free bagel option is plain. The GF bagels are pretty good, mind you, but I really wish I could get an everything bagel.

Comfy little place to get coffee where you can eat comfortably, sit quietly, sometimes get work done. No one makes you feel rushed, and the coffee is quite good.

I have tried their bagels and muffins. They have great bagels, with option of being served as is or toasted with choice of spreads. Their muffins and pastries are terrific. I am particularly fond of the double chocolate and chocolate chip muffins. The place is very popular and can be quite busy.

Went here recently and a very disappointing experience. The coffee had a weird aftertaste. I didn’t get specifically what I asked for which wasn’t hard to do. When asked for a bagel Toasted a bagel Should be fully toasted not difficult. First order it wasn’t toasted at all. Then after having it remade it was still barely toasted. Never been to a bagel Place that creates this problem. I was told eggs are made scrambled and they are not. It’s an egg type patty. I do not recommend this spot as there’s definitely way better.
Great bagels. Large variety.
Great food but some real rude 304s working here
