State College bagel visit, part 2…read more Bagel Love Cafe is a small shop located on State College's Atherton Ave "business strip":outside of downtown. It's a small shop located in a small strip shopping center. In keeping with bagel visit part 1, I had a poppy seed bagel (toasted) with cream cheese. The bagel wasn't heavy on poppy seeds--which I always appreciate. The shop provided a generous schmear of cream cheese and--interestingly--sliced the bagel into quarters. Haven't seen that before. The bagel was super tasty and the service was great. Bagel Love is a small shop but also has ordering kiosks. ANOTHER great bagel find in State College that I definitely recommend. Nice selection of bagel flavors and associated breakfast sandwiches.

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.

Webster's has a fantastic book selection, and I really don't think I've ever seen prices as cheap as theirs. The bookstore is huge, and there is always something I find to buy. They have an enormous selection of folio editions, a huge Civil War section, and manage to keep cheap paper backs to a minimum. They have occasional events and sales, such as buy 3 get one free, or when a donor drops off a huge stack of books they often put them out at sale prices. The owners are also so so nice and really love books. They will do whatever they can to help you find something you're interested in. I am in love with the space. Piles of books everywhere, sort of chaotic organization, winding bookcases and hidden seating areas - all they need is a cat! You can reserve tables for meetings, but you can also just grab an open one. I actually have never eaten AT the cafe, but I've had their catering quite often and it is really delicious food.

I was impressed by the young barista's skill in making a latte to my preferences, and it was really nice to weave my way around the shelves to see what an algorithm recommendation would normally miss. Not sure about the food, but the book space and coffee are on point.

Joe at the register makes sure you have everything you need, makes great recommendations, and is very compassionate! I wish I got the other employees name as well, she was really sweet and the lavender London fog was so good. I also got the chili, it's amazing, hearty, and made the way I love. Because of this I will note that if you have a cinnamon allergy you will want to avoid the chili as it's definitely in there!

The banana bread French toast also caught my eye so I grabbed a slice of banana bread to go. Service was fast and friendly Prices are in line with the "new normal", sandwich and a drink was $16.

My wife asked for her Florentine eggs Benedict to come out hard and they were soft. She had to send them back to the kitchen for additional cook time. My eggs Benedict were cooked perfectly and the ham was good and the highlight of the dish. The hollandaise sauce however was watery and on the cool side. The hashbrowns were average. The star of breakfast was the corned beef hash, simply top notch. We will return for a second experience.
