State College is in Pennsylvania, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and State College follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

If you advertise a “cheese” omelet, you’d expect there to be cheese in it—not a quarter of a slice. Aside from my dry omelet, you can clearly see the yolk and egg white never fully mixed together. I’m guessing they just gave it a quick stir and called it a day. But who knows… maybe I’m the one in the wrong for ordering an omelet at a waffle shop. The bacon was great, though.

Got the California Benedict. Kitchen didn’t put my tomatoes on to make it “Cali” felt obligated to buy a bad cup of coffee. Waitress came up and just poured. My husband was done eating by the time I finally got my tomatoes.

The place to go before the football game! Great Saturday morning eats. Sooo good!! Our server Jasmine was amazing. Her hospitality made us feel at home. She was very knowledgeable about the menu as well. Shout out to her!! We had the pecan pancakes, the waffle and regular pancakes. All top notch!! 10 out 10. The only downside is the line and wait to get in. Waited for 45 mins but it was worth it. Check them out. Highly recommended

This review is tough for me. I love Waffle Shop. I came here a lot when my wife was in undergrad. However my experience here was mixed. We waited about 20 min which is normal for a Sunday on a parents weekend. Our server was amazing, staff were great, very attentive. However the food was less than extraordinary. Me and my wife had omelets. They were okay. What disappointed me was the pancakes. Just flat, hard, nothing to them. Toast was fine, but the honeys were just big chunks of potato and unseasoned. This is in stark contrast to just a few years ago where the food seemed much better. And the costs have gone up too. For the two of us, two drinks, omelets with pancakes and another side it was $32.08 pre tip. I remember it not costing nearly as much. I know things are more expensive now but this feels absurd for breakfast. But… with eggs being $6 a dozen I don’t think I can blame the restaurant.

The place was SUPER busy on a Sunday, 9am. Service however, was terrific: attentive and friendly. Our coffee cups were refilled upon the last sip, our requests (milk instead of half & half) easily filled, food arrived in light speed, and prices are great. I had the California Eggs Benedict, which replace the meat with avocado. The breakfast burritos, omelette, and club sandwich were also excellent!
