Cheese shoppe is the coolest cafe in State College. The owners are nice, all the baristas are social and happy to talk. The coffee is old-school which is a plus for me, and they regularly roast in house so you get to be there to see that as well. I wish they'd have more outdoor seating, but space is an issue so I get it.
The Cheese Shoppe's Guatemala Decaf is the best decaf that I have ever had. I travel an hour to get it every three weeks or so. I mix the decaf with regular coffee also from the Cheese Shoppe. It's insanely awesome! I love dark coffee beans and I am very picky. This place puts starbucks to shame! Their French, Burundi, Italian, Costa Rican, and Uncle Willie's Blend are fantastic. I have ordered stuff from all over the country and this place takes the cake. Thank you for being awesome!
Excellent coffee beans freshly roasted on the premises. Whole bean Vienna Roast gives me the best cup of coffee I've had anywhere.
Nothing like walking in and seeing and smelling the coffee being roasted fresh! Great cheese selection and the Mexican Organic coffee is our favorite.
