I opted for a creme brûlée, which they torched there for me and was so creamy yet crispy with the torched sugar. We also got a brown sugar milk boba, chocolate mousse cake, and red velvet cake, all of which were massive hits with the group. Great study spot, large and long tables and conveniently located with parking as well!

Let me coment on the interior design first: You could call it a typical Asian cafe layout, with the green wall, neon lights, and white-on-wood plus pastel "natural" look, BUT this is State College, PA. How many other places locally have cute set ups like this?? No where. I would love to come here with friends, just to sit and study, hangout, anything. How I miss cafes like this being on every corner in the cities. But alas I'm surrounded by hills in a beautiful valley - thankfully I still get to enjoy this ambiance at Mr.Wish! Their main menu items are fruit teas, which is a refreshing addition to the area as the other bubble tea places focus on the milk teas. You can see all the real fruit chunks and puree in the drinks which is also a much appreciated shift away from flavor powders or syrups! So many different fruit teas to choose from - I got the Peach Sunset today but I'll definitely be back for the Wish Special Fruit Tea(mostly because it looks like calamansi and where can you get that around here?!), and others available. The peach sunset is an icy white peach smoothie with a cheese cap. I think it just comes in L. Not too sweet, but concentrated white peach flavor! They do still have a selection of milk teas so in case your friend still wants the milk tea with tapioca pearls, not to worry, you both can still enjoy the drinks here. :)

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.

I got the Whale Crystal, a drink of blue coconut milk and tao jiao (peach tree jelly). I would've guessed that the blue came from butterfly pea flower, but I didn't actually pick up on any flavour besides coconut. The drink was very good - the tao jiao had an interesting texture and very subtle floral taste. It didn't really taste peachy. The barista recommend mixing the drink before drinking and I will reinforce this recommendation since I think the texture and flavour of the tao jiao were best when combined with thee coconut milk. The sweetness level was not adjustable for the drink but I didn't think it was too sweet at all even though I usually take my drinks with low sugar. I really enjoyed this unique drink!

I haven't been to State College in a while. So I'm not sure when all the uni-marts closed down and…read morereopened as boba tea places? But I can not believe how many of these tea places are all over State College! After passing like 12 of them I finally got sucked in - and I entered The Whale Tea. The place was cute. I ordered a large Matcha tea - and the picture on the wall said it was one of their top items ordered. It probably took about 10 minutes for them to make it - but there were a lot of people in and out so I wasn't expecting it to be made too fast. They called my number so I went to get my tea. The picture on the wall showed the tea had boba but my order didn't have it. When I asked they told me the picture was misleading since they don't put boba in the matcha - but they said they would put it in mine if I wanted them to open the seal. I let them add it - bc why not? The drink was absolutely delicious. One of the best matchas I've had. The price was almost $8 which I thought was insane bc it is muuuuuch cheaper to get matcha in Philly. I'm not sure how all these college students can afford this almost $8 beverage - when I was a college student that would not have been even close to being in my budget - I prefered spending my cash on dollar beer pitchers. But these expensive drinks seem to be all the rage w current students.

The noodle soup is amazing and they really loaded it up with pork ribs. The noodles can be spicier in my opinion but still delicious! I love the rice cake and lamb skewers!

The restaurant has a water station where you can refill your own water cups. The staff were super friendly. There's a lot of seating available and seems like a popular spot!

Yummy cafe is my favorite Chinese restaurant in State College mainly because they serve actual…read moreauthentic Chinese food. Most places around here have catered their flavors towards an American food palette and is usually underwhelming. Yummy Cafe is not afraid to give you authentic dishes. I always get the eggplants with garlic sauce and it is always consistently delicious. The ma po tofu is sweet and spicy but the spice does not overwhelm the dish. The only thing that was lacking were the sesame balls but they were also REALLY good. The red bean paste was just a bit dry. I think one thing the restaurant can improve on is their menu, only the take out menu has the right prices. But, the waitress is really nice and made our experience at the restaurant pleasant. In regards to the ambiance, the interior design is a bit old and could use an upgrade but I think it bring authenticity to the overall experience at the restaurant. Overall, I highly recommend checking out Yummy Cafe. I come here all the time and every time the food has been amazing!

This review should have been posted a few weeks ago but my schedule didn't allow me to actually sit…read morestill to do so ...I wanted to ensure I had the time to truly explain how amazing my experience has been with this Company. To start, I live in Philly & my daughter was Penn State Altoona at the time & on 4/26/26 she turned 20yrs old and this was the first time I wasn't going to celebrating with her and being hands on with all the plans. But with the secret help of her College Friends I was able to plan an amazing Birthday weekend in state college for all of them to enjoy but the most stressful thing was find her the perfect Cake!! Her friends wanted to go to pick one up from a Supermarket but because I wasn't going to be there I wanted to make everything about her Bday super special and a market cake wasn't going to work unfortunately in addition they were college kids with no vehicles I didn't want to put that taste on them and it may or many not get done. I was now less then 2wks from her Bday weekend and just now starting the search for the perfect "I'm sorry Mommy couldn't be there but hopefully this amazingly crafted artwork now called your Bday Cake makes up for it" type of Cake. So my 3-4hrs long search begun..I needed to find a Bakery that could make her a cake that not only looked good but tastes even better (I have been disappointed in the past so my research was on the First 48 level, ...a bad cake can ruin entire Bday in my opinion. In addition, I needed discreet delivery services. After hours of searching, reading reviews & scanning every social media accounts as well as any and all websites that mentioned their names to ensure all T's were crossed and the reviews were actually verified by real people before choosing Dolce Vita Desserts. Their designs were all so creative & beautifully done and after emailing a few times with Anthony he not only confirmed my specific request but he also ensure that they could/would customize to design I preferred..so I took two Of their designs (because I loved them both and couldn't decide one over the other) and made it one :) I also explained to Anthony my need desperately need for delivery ..( their site mentioned how delivery was limited) I was willing to send it as uber package delivery even I was praying I wouldn't have to do that. But, Anthony not only approved my delivery he also advised me to touch bases with the Hotel staff and provide them with the box dimensions to ensure their fridge would be able fit/store and also gave specifics on how to properly store ...information I didn't even think to consider. I whole heartily appreciate all that Anthony has done to help make my daughter's Birthday super special. Everything was executed seamlessly, even down to the delivery confirmation email I received from Both Dolce & the Hotel. My daughter not only loved her surprise bday weekend but she was in love with her cake!! I ordered the 6" inch round white cake with strawberry preserves. I thought that since only my daughter & 3 of her friends were celebrating with her that they would take the left over cake to share with others at their dorm but she told me the cake was so good they devoured it. Not one crumb was left. Which was done after making a photo shoot with the cake! She loved everything about that cake! My only regret...is the fact that I wasn't able to try it myself! I recommend Dolce Vita Desserts to every one! You won't be disappointed!!
