The food was ok
Overall review food was good expect a 10-15 min wait service was good as well overall good experience
Tasty enough breakfast with great friendly service. Only downside is that I was in no hurry and was looking for a relaxing place but I felt pressure to finish and get out even though it wasn't very crowded. The manager seemed to be always hovering around. After my second cup of coffee no more was offered but they did give me one when I requested it. I also had to ask for jelly for my toast.

The Waffle Shop Downtown on 364 E College Avenue in State College is a highly recommended dining destination. Serving delicious food, including special event weekend offerings and football season favorites, the restaurant is known for its welcoming atmosphere, attentive service, and exceptional breakfast options like eggs, omelets, and pancakes. The staff, especially a chef named David, are very friendly and professional, often engaging with customers about the food. The restaurant features real orange juice, no rubbery eggs, and hefty bacon strips that satisfy many. Despite often having a line, the wait is worth it, and the experience is enjoyable whether during homecoming or regular days. The friendly atmosphere, good prices, and local food make it a favorite spot for breakfast in town.
On the weekends, there's almost always a line to get in for breakfast and the wait can be over an hour for a table. The place is a favorite before the football game, offering great Saturday morning eats. The server Jasmine was amazing, providing excellent hospitality and knowledge about the menu. Customers enjoyed the pecan pancakes, waffles, and regular pancakes, all described as top-notch. Despite the wait, the experience is highly recommended and captures the Happy Valley spirit.
