This is the best açaí bowl EVER! It is also one of the only locations in SC to get one, but I would…read morechoose Playa regardless. The açaí base is delicious and they offer a bunch of fresh fruit toppings and I personally love to add peanut butter and chia seeds. The inside has a fun, beach interior that feels like you aren't in central PA anymore. It is a bit pricey for what you get, but the quality is excellent! If you like açaí bowls, playa bowls is somewhere you will love!

Playa Bowls, especially in State College, is one of my favorite places for açaí bowls. The location…read moreis convenient, it has a happy vibe, and their food is consistently good. I ordered a Pure Vida bowl with granola, strawberry, blueberry, and honey. I changed my order slightly by adding chocolate protein. My husband ordered the Power Bowl which was delicious. We always feel like we're eating healthy and light, even though it's quite filling, when we eat here. One of our favorites!

State College bagel visit, part 1…read more Irving's is located in the heart of State College, directly across College from Penn State. This is clearly a student favorite, with amole seating capacity and plenty of coffee. It was well-inhabited by sleepy students during my ex May visit. I ordered a basic poppy bagel (toasted) wiith cream cheese. Service was quick and friendly, with a generous schmear of cream cheese. The bagel was tasty, and in the middle (in my experience) of the amount of poppy seed. I'd definitely recommend Irving's though it is probably a madhouse during the school year so plan your visit accordingly.

I got a tropical fruit juice tea with crystal boba and it was great don't get me wrong. But it feels very college-aged-social-media-influencer-trying-to-promote cool and less genuine-connection-for-friends cool.

Super cute bubble tea location that also has the convenience of being a small Asian grocery shop…read moreand an Asian fusion eatery! Let me coment on the interior design first: You could call it a typical Asian cafe layout, with the green wall, neon lights, and white-on-wood plus pastel "natural" look, BUT this is State College, PA. How many other places locally have cute set ups like this?? No where. I would love to come here with friends, just to sit and study, hangout, anything. How I miss cafes like this being on every corner in the cities. But alas I'm surrounded by hills in a beautiful valley - thankfully I still get to enjoy this ambiance at Mr.Wish! Their main menu items are fruit teas, which is a refreshing addition to the area as the other bubble tea places focus on the milk teas. You can see all the real fruit chunks and puree in the drinks which is also a much appreciated shift away from flavor powders or syrups! So many different fruit teas to choose from - I got the Peach Sunset today but I'll definitely be back for the Wish Special Fruit Tea(mostly because it looks like calamansi and where can you get that around here?!), and others available. The peach sunset is an icy white peach smoothie with a cheese cap. I think it just comes in L. Not too sweet, but concentrated white peach flavor! They do still have a selection of milk teas so in case your friend still wants the milk tea with tapioca pearls, not to worry, you both can still enjoy the drinks here. :)

The attendants were attentive and made my smoothie super quick despite the store's volume. They were adequately staffed, and when I'm in the area again, this is my go to location! Parking sucks but you're the heart of main campus so there's not much you can do about that. I love the fact that they had a bathroom! #Clutch I highly recommend!
