First up the most important… dessert! ☺ One of my personal favorites that most people do not know about is the homemade gelato (and sorbet) stand in Sauly Boys! You can check this website for the flavors offered each day (they change since they are made in small batches). http://www.saulyboys.com/stellasgelato/
Another favorite is the classic Kiwi frozen yogurt. Located across Atherton Street, it is the perfect quick stop and refuel. You can fill your cup with however much you want and whatever toppings you want which allows the perfect taste on a hot or stressful day.
As State College continues to grow, more and more restaurants and stores are being added. One of the more recent additions is Momotaro. What is different compared to the rest of the ice cream shops downtown is Momotaro serves rolled ice cream (Yes the trend you see on social media).
Not only are there tons of ice cream options but the donut shops keep expanding too! Not only do you have the classic dunkin donuts but state college offers Duck Donuts, Peace Love and Little Donuts and also, most recently, happy buns. Happy Buns is essentially a donut cut in half with icecream in the center sprinkled with toppings… yes it is as amazing as it sounds.
Once you are sick of your dessert be sure to check downtown for real food too... ☺ Probably the most popular place downtown, consistently, is “The Waffle Shop”. If you can find transportation I personally think the ones off campus (the North Atherton location) is way better than the one downtown but it is still the perfect brunch place to go with friends!
A quick and popular lunch place is fiddlehead. It’s a make your own salad place similar to a salad works in your local mall. Downtown State College also offers your quick and classic Chipotle, Qdoba, 5guys, Noodles & Company, Subway etc.
Some popular local dinner spots include “The Corner Room”, “The Deli and Z bar”, “The Allen Street Grill”, “Baby’s Burgers”, “Cozy Thai”, “Mad Mex” and more! The Corner Room has been in business for almost 100 years (since 1926) and is great for comfort food. Baby’s Burgers & Shakes is a 1950s style diner and Mad Mex is a Mexican-spanish restaurant (hello guac!).
