Awesome, hip place. Probably the most creative shop in town. It's home to several micro businesses, and I think it's gonna serve as a model for the future. Housed within is a wonderful selection of previously loved books, music, vintage clothing, inspired cafe fare, and good vibes.
My daughter and I discovered this bookstore hidden in State College today. We are always trying to find places that remind us of the PNW vibe where we grew up, and this is definitely it!! Vegan & GF food, good music, coffee, old books and even a cute little vintage store. We highly recommend checking this place out. The staff there are super friendly too!
Can I please move in? This place is enchanting! There are books, coffee, food, clothes and some antiques, what else can I ask for? Loved the tables in little nooks where one can study, read or hide from the world:))). We accidentally got here, right after we have already had lunch, so we didn’t get a chance to try the goods, but this is the first place on our list for our next visit to State College
One of my absolute favorite places to visit! I extremely love this place. The workers, atmosphere, and everything else are so amazing! I would highly recommend this inclusive business to anybody who is cool!
This is one of the best community-centered coffee shop place in town. Great music, friendly baristas, delicious food and a warm cozy environment. A surely great place to grab a book to read, socialize or even write. The best part is that you are always welcomed by Elaine, the owner, who makes sure Webster's continues to be a close-knit supportive community.
Eclectic, organic vegan healthy foods, unity for all, great selection of books, gifts and food. Wonderful happy atmosphere. New fav
Cool little secondhand bookstore and cafe. The food was really good and reasonably priced, and same with the coffee! They had a decently large selection of books in non-English languages, which is sometimes rare for bookstores.
Old books, fresh coffee, hot soup... 3 of my favorite things done better here than anywhere else I've been. Has to be one of my favorite places in the state of Pennsylvania. And such lovely, lovely people. I can't say enough about the awesome workforce.
