Anytime I eat here I have a breakfast sandwich and they are reliably tasty. However, I always order online, and often times I find my order is being completed well before my pickup time, like 10-15 minutes before, and as result my food is not warm by the time I pick it up.I would understand this occurring during the busy morning hours, but this has happened numerous times at both slow and busy hours.I personally dislike eating cold food meant to be warm, and this has deterred me from ordering or only doing so when I can arrive 10-15 minutes early of my pickup time.I recommend this place for its food, but if you plan to order online and don’t like eating cold food like me, I would take this into account .

This place was busy Sunday morning but hey what do expect from a bagel place next to a college campus with starving students on a busy State Patrick's Day weekend ?. We really enjoyed our food and drinks!

I’ve been a pretty frequent customer at Irvings for years now, and I’ve decided that I will no longer be returning. The food is amazing if you’re lucky, but thats very rare these days. I usually order the BLT, and every other time it comes with barely toasted bread and chewy bacon (even when I ask for it extra crispy). I’ve gotten a good grilled chicken pesto once or twice, but usually it comes with disgusting rubbery chicken that is impossible to chew. Every time I order an iced latte hoping last time was a fluke, I get a watery iced coffee again. Irvings has a nice ambiance and nice workers, but I honestly don’t why I’ve been supporting them for as long as I have. Its overpriced for small portions and not worth the inconsistency risk. Just go to bagel crust and get something actually worth your money.

I do not eat bacon. However, when I ordered a side of potatoes, bacon ended up in it? You call the phone number, no answer.

I had ordered an Asiago bagel with garlic and herb cream cheese. I was very disappointed in the bagel itself, and I was expected asiago, at least to see the cheese either in the bagel or encrusted on it. It was ordered toasted but was not warm.The cheese was decent.Do not think I will be returning during my time at Penn State

A New York bagel shop just across the street from Old Main, Irvings is a great place for incredible breakfast/lunch fare while catching the Penn State vibe. Home of State College’s best and IMO only authentic bagels, they are crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, with a selection from plain to Everything. Irvings has lots of cream cheeses and sandwich selections (the Breakfast Special served all-day long), awesome bread and pastries too. Then there’s the drinks, from milkshakes to smoothies, great fresh coffee and plenty of bottled drinks. The main-stay staff knows their stuff; student staff members come and go, and seem to enjoy themselves while working which makes for a better experience. It’s my go-to spot for family breakfasts, coffee with colleagues or clients, or a quick bite with friends. I love Irvings!
They love to let you order just for the food window to tell you they are out of what you ordered. I ordered 6 bagels (not cooked or anything just to have for the week) and was told at the window they were out of what U had ordered. My choice was then to just choose a substitute or wait in the ginormous line for a refund. Many other people waiting for their food were experiencing the same.

Hard to give this place more than 2 or 3 stars due to the time it takes to order and collect your items. Took us over an hour. Giving it 4 stars for the food as the Breakfast wrap was one of the better in the area.

My family came to State College to visit friends, so we decided to take a day to buy PSU souvenirs for our family back home. Started our day here at Irving's with bagel sandwiches and coffee. Omg the tomato and bacon on my bagel was amazing. Loved the coffee, it was perfect for a morning stroll down College Ave shopping. The line goes by fast and if the tables in the main area are full, walk on downstairs for a cool, quiet sitting area. Lots of college students studying and gathering in this area, loved it!
