About The Waffle Shop Downtown

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.

Clean, very kind staff.
The omelet I had was not stellar, but I was there at 1pm so I’ll allow it. The potatoes were great, the coffee was great, and they had a wide selection of sides. The toast was thick cut (yum) and the pancakes were thick too (my preference as well).
If the omelet came out better it’d be an easy 5 stars.
Great food and a good time!
way better than pamelas
