Our server steered us to the best on the menu. The portions are huge. Omelet was stuffed with crispy bacon, egg platters were fresh and hot. The pancakes were just ok - too much vanilla for our taste and were thick. This might be your thing. The bacon was unbelievable. Crisp from end to end! Breakfast potatoes were perfect and well seasoned. Hats off to the chef. We will absolutely be back. Great find!

My only gripe with this is that it was too salty. Had it been less it would have been fantastic, but the salt was the majority of the flavor. Where they really excelled was in the Red potato salad - one of the best potato salads I have ever had. I would be a regular if I lived in the area just for this. Great place, if you are in the area make sure you check it out!

This…read morewas an amazing monte cristo sandwich, although we typically see turkey with ham, but it was still great. For me, the scrapple was cooked perfectly and the jam was so good. The jam was the strawberry and rhubarb jam from my wife's monte cristo. Lastly my daughter got the blueberry pancakes and these may have been the most perfectly cooked pancakes ever. They were slightly crispy in the top and bottom but still soft and chewy inside, so damn good. On top of the food, the waitress was so friendly and talked to us about the campus, gave us some great tips and talked to my daughter about her Penn State experience, she was so helpful!

What a gem! We stopped by Sowers Harvest Café for breakfast and were genuinely impressed…read more Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The Greek omelet was light, fluffy, and packed with flavor. The Pesto-Port Egg Sandwich was simple but absolutely delicious with a perfectly cooked egg and great pesto. The Balsamic Garden Avocado Toast was as beautiful as it was tasty, with fresh ingredients, creamy goat cheese, pickled onions, and a rich balsamic glaze. The Spicy Mango Sriracha grilled naan was incredibly unique--the sweet and spicy combination worked perfectly. The fresh-baked pretzels are a must-try! We took home several varieties, and they were warm, soft, and some of the best we've had. Even the latte and biscotti were excellent. On top of the amazing food, watching the staff handcraft and bake the giant pretzels right behind the counter added to the experience. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and the service was fast despite the café being busy. If you're in State College, this place is absolutely worth a visit. Fresh ingredients, creative menu, outstanding baked goods, and genuinely kind people. We'll definitely be back!

I had a great lunch with an awesome Rueben and shoe string fries. Home made corned beef on an excellent marbled rye. FYI The fries were a little cold. I also considered biscuits and gravy but they don't serve home fries after 11:00, odd for a breakfast all day place. 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.

An Experience, Not Just a Meal…read more Kitchen Garden in State College is an absolute gem, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. We had the serpme (spread), and honestly, it was an experience rather than simply a meal. Every single thing on the dish was delicious. There was not one item that we didn't rave about. The food was fresh, flavorful, beautifully prepared, and clearly made with care. The atmosphere is light, bright, peaceful, and incredibly inviting. What really stood out to us, though, was the hospitality. The staff were warm, welcoming, and helpful without ever making us feel rushed. In fact, we were encouraged to relax and enjoy the meal at our own pace. We spent nearly two hours there, simply enjoying the food, the conversation, and the experience. And then there was the owner. He was incredibly kind and genuinely friendly. He took the time to give us a tour of the private dining area and shared the story of how he started the business. We could have talked with him for hours. That kind of personal connection is rare, and it made our visit even more special. Kitchen Garden is exactly the kind of restaurant you hope to discover--a place with exceptional food, genuine hospitality, a beautiful atmosphere, and people who clearly care about what they're doing. If you're in State College, please make a point of visiting Kitchen Garden. Take your time. Order the serpme. Enjoy every bite. Talk to the people there. Let yourself have the experience. We truly hope this restaurant has many, many years of success. Places like this deserve to thrive.
