Probably my favorite coffee shop in state college. The staff is always very friendly and helpful and the avocado toast is the best!

Cute coffee shop! I’ve been here several times, mostly for the food! The lox toast is amazing! Coffee is just okay.. ! My kiddos enjoy the hot chocolate and steamers(made with syrups in house) great cafe! Overall a good cafe worth a try!

This was so close to my hotel that I had to try it. It was really the Lox toast pics on Yelp that brought me here! The front counter person was so nice and friendly. Every time I had questions he was so informative and friendly! I wanted to try the Darjeeling earl grey with steamed milk and a touch of honey (I know it’s a “London fog”). It was fabulous! I also got the whole milk latte and the lox toast. It had veggie cream cheese, salmon, cucumbers and picked onions. Exactly what I needed after my long flight the night before and a workout. It was kinda crowded around 1:15pm ish and died down a lot around 1:30. There were a lot of people using their laptops on the benches inside and limited seating outside. I was able to snag a bench top inside looking into the parking lot. Great first mini meal in State College, PA!

My favorite coffee shop in state college. The muffins are really amazing and they are very big, they feed the eye before the stomach they can easily be shared. Coffee is also good. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is quite cozy.

This is the best cappuccino I’ve had in a long while. I’d go out of my way for this cappuccino. Really good flavor and really good milk texture. I can taste the well balanced espresso through the milk. The barista said that a cappuccino is one of the things they do best, and I was not disappointed! Hands down worth a stop. It was a bit warm inside, so we sat at the slightly wobbly outdoor seating. But it was not annoying enough to diminish the experience for me. Well done Rothrock.

The best coffee I've ever drank! There is so much flavor in every sip and it’s so smooth. I don’t think Im going to be able to drink anything else. This is a must try spot for anyone who enjoys coffee!!

My friend and I discovered this place a few months ago, and it’s our absolute favorite coffee stop in State College area. Love the atmosphere and vibe, and their coffee is top notch! We are both pretty particular about coffee and how it tastes, and this place has exceeded our expectations!!! I love their twists on avocado toasts- Mozzarella and tomatoes and picked onions! Their staff is super and friendly. Love that there is plenty of place to sit!

Food: 4.5/5 - Definitely better than your average biscuits! A little char, but we don't mind it (that's a matter of taste - I'm sure you can request a light toast to the biscuit). The lattes are nice (regular and vanilla - the vanilla latte, when paired with oat milk and 2 packets of Sugar in the Raw, tastes almost chocolatey - I definitely recommend it ) Service: 5/5 - Very friendly and helpful. Atmosphere: 5/5 - Very nice
