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". They can call it whatever they want, it was fantastic! They extracted maximum flavor and served it at optimal temperature. Bonus points for the classy vessel it was served in. I would gladly return to Elixr!

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.

Proprietor was really nice about letting us know about their allergens when I asked since one of us is allergic to tree nuts (they don't use any nuts at all, including peanut and coconut). He was also super nice about not charging me for extra sauce even though it's listed as an extra charge on the menu; all the prices are pretty fantastic. My whole order was under $11. About the only complaint I have so far is that there were no paper towels in the bathroom. I got the dal makhni special with two roti, and it arrived in under 10 minutes. It had a really nice spiced flavor and was perfectly hot (temperature- and spice-wise; it's worth noting that I seem to have a notably higher spice tolerance that others, since one of my friends also got this and found it too spicy. Maybe get some yogurt sauce or a lassi). Sauces were really good as well. All in all, no notes, had a fantastic experience; I need to come back to try the samosa chaat bowl.

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 don't even live here, but whenever I come to visit this is on the list of must-visit places. I go for one particular item: lavender milk bubble tea. No bubble tea can compare, and believe me, I have tried! When ordering, you have an option of two sizes: small or large. There are MANY tea flavors in addition to several great add-in options (boba, lychee, beans, etc). The coolest part about this place is the interactive dining experience. The walls are clad with unique post-it's from guests, and the tables are covered in board-games/activities to invite you to stick around. 10/10 would recommend.

Pastries taste fresh and crispy especially the flaky croissanty stuff. I think they have a soup rotate in/out every week so ill stop by just to see whats in. Everything is a lil on the pricier side. I think the soup is ok to fairly priced. Id probably get mac n cheese elsewhere tho. I've had it and its good but honestly its mac n cheese i wouldnt pay 1-2 dollars more for it to be slightly better. The sandwiches and the salads are the biggest rip offs. Sandwiches are tiny and for salads you're better off gettin a huge salad with whatever you want at fiddlehead than a mediocre sized salad for 7 bux here. Another thing is they dont have made to order sandwiches at this location compared to the one at the visual arts one. The one over there is twice the size (with double the soups and pastries) with made to order sandwiches (dunno if theyre actually good tho...and they still look small and cost bout $7).
