It's a little pricey, but there really aren't better ones downtown. The service is also great. They take their time with drinks and make sure things come out right. One time someone else took my drink from the counter, and the staff remade it for me in a larger size at no charge and gave me a voucher for a free drink my next visit. So kind of them! Love coming here.

Clean and modern shop with nice seating. Gentleman working the counter was pleasant and professional. What I would typically call a "pour over", they call a "hand pour".

I would gladly return to Elixr!

I wish I ordered more. The matcha muffin was tasty though I did bring it home to enjoy with some butter. I loved the seasonal red tea affogato that I ordered. Highly recommend.

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.
