Momotaro had an extremely long line when I got there Arts Fest weekend. I waited in the line and tried to look at the menu on the board but it was super hard to read for a person who does not have college aged eyes haha. Luckily I already knew what I wanted to drink. I ordered a large matcha bubble tea and thought it was well priced for State College compared to the other places I have ordered this from in town. I was in the store for about 30 min between waiting in line, ordering and waiting for my matcha. Finally my drink arrived and while it was beautiful, it did not have a sealed top so I wasn't sure how I was supposed to shake it. Once I kinda stirred/shaked it easily I finally drank it and it was good. I prob wouldn't come back here again tho bc of the long long wait.

Brown sugar boba and fruity red
Danica V.

We tried their rolled ice cream (original base, strawberry flavor, with mochi and almonds, and a mango drizzle) and it was VERY GOOD! My bf had the fruit red tea drink with tapioca and I had the brown sugar tea with tapioca and both were delicious as well! This is a pretty good place for all my fellow boba lovers out there, so I definitely recommend! A bubble tea/sweets shop in a much needed campus area such as State College is very appreciated, I'm sure!

Mango sago on the left, brown sugar milk tea on the right

Momotaro is probably my favorite place to get bubble tea in State College. Their bubbles are the perfect consistency, and they have a pretty wide range of drinks. CANNOT RAVE ENOUGH ABOUT THEIR MANGO SAGO DRINK! So delicious and hits the spot. Took one star off just because of their prices. Pretty expensive, especially their other menu items, like pastries/cakes. Their slices of cake are RIDICULOUSLY pricy for what they are, so I always pass on them.

Cutely served limoncello and opera with some ice water.
Tannu S.

This is a bakery cum cafe cum ice cream parlor. Serving lots of desserts and drinks options. I tried two of their pastries, opera and limoncello mascarpone, and they were indulging. Though all the bakery items seemed overpriced with about $16+ for two pastries. Unfortunately, since there is no better competition in this small town we have no other place to go. I would be going back to try their bubble tea and ice cream rolls. The place was decently busy with students going in n out during the non busy hours. Their flavors are spot on. So, unless there is any other centrally located equally inviting serving delightful desserts place opening in this area, they can charge whatever, we would go back once in a while to indulge in the sweetness to satiate those cravings. P.S. potential to become 'the dessert' place of the town however weighed down by their overpriced menu.

Bangkok boba

Best place for boba tea and most interesting desserts. Whenever I visit my son on campus, we come in to try something new. The menu offers so much. Don't be afraid to try something new

Matcha Latte
Jeffrey L.

Stopped here on our way from Pittsburgh to New York. I ordered the Green Tea Matcha Latte with boba. Tasted really good. Perfect sweetness, slight bitterness from the matcha and chewy soft boba. Surprisingly better boba than places in Pittsburgh! Comparable to LA/NYC quality.

Caramel Brûlée Cheese Tea (Large)
Jaskaran S.

What I Got: - Caramel Brûlée Cheese Tea (Large) Price: $6.09 Caramel Brûlée Cheese Tea - amazing caramel milk tea taste, 11/10 - crunchy brûlée at the top - cold milk tea in the middle - warm boba balls at the bottom Service: - took around 5 minutes to get Improvements: - n/a Worth the Value? - yes, yes, yes

Mashed taro milk tea
Anjie Y.

This cute, cozy cafe satisfied my boba craving! I was pleasantly surprised at the variety and customizable options offered here - in State College, it's definitely among the best. It also seems like a cute place to work or study, and I loved the decor! Having lived in Atlanta for a few years, I felt spoiled by the bubble tea scene - I swear I am probably 75% boba at this point. I stopped by after noticing the cute peach (and slightly butt-ish) logo, and ordered the mashed taro milk tea with 25% sugar and less ice. The cashier was very helpful and kindly explained that it's made with oolong milk tea, with taro chunks and boba at the bottom, and can be hot or cold. The tea flavor was a bit too light, but delightfully floral, and the warm boba was at an ideal chewiness and sweetness. I loved the taro chunks, and found it not too aggressively artificial tasting. The only critique I'd have is that you have to mix the drink yourself, and since the cup is pretty tall, it's hard to do so with the straw provided. You can't seem to shake it either, since it comes with a coffee lid. It's also on the pricier side, at $5.99 a drink. (I decided to be hella Asian and pull the sticker on the cup off for decor - it's too cute to throw away!) Overall, based on my experience, this adorable and unique cafe seems like a solid and worthwhile place to get your boba fix!

Matcha ice cream with cheesecake and strawberry drizzle. Topped with mini mochi (delicious!!), cookie, and, cookie stick.

Rolled ice cream was delicious! First time at Momotaro but will be back for dessert again. The restaurant is clean and tastefully decorated. Workers were nice and helpful. Thanks Momotaro!

Creme Caramel Brulee Cheese Tea
Lexi A.

This is my absolute favorite place to get milk tea. This is the Creme brûlée cheese tea it's incredible. If you haven't had this before it's basically brown sugar milk tea with cheese. They even melt the sugar on top of the cheese so it's like real creme brûlée. The shop is super cute and the staff is always super nice! They have a million drink combos you can get and also have a whole dessert case and rolled ice cream!

Awesome Tiramisu!
Ahsan K.

3.5/5 I haven't really tried their rolled ice cream and stuff cause I'm not a big fan of just ice cream... more of a cake/pastry kind of person. However, I did have the tiramisu which was fantastic with a little extra hint of the coffee flavor that I really liked. Would definitely recommend it I did also have the chocolate cheesecake, can't remember the exact name and forgot to take a picture, but that one was just ok.

I have to say that it was a strange little place. I was hoping for a really good cup of coffee. But I've had better gas station coffee. I think they have really good rolled ice cream, though. We had a little bit of everything from the bubble juice to the drinks and ice cream. The place was fairly clean. I would say, step up your coffee offerings. It should really be high quality made super fresh. I don't know. I'm not a huge fan. Maybe a better rolled ice cream joint will ROLL into town.

I was amazed I hadn't written a review about one of my favorite places in State College. Websters…read moreis awesome and I come here several times a month, much to my wife's chagrin. 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.

Like many second hand bookstores, you get the occasional grandpa nodding off to his book, the older…read moreuncle who unbeknownst to himself starts singing along with the cafe music, and ladies meeting up for a chat. But also like many independent bookstores like this, you can the feel for the down to earth community where people just are. I came in for a morning coffee and to browse the books. 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.
