"Mismatched tables and chairs on concrete flooring give Webster’s Bookstore Cafe a delightfully down-to-earth and oh-so-hip charm that has won over the hearts of countless students. The cafe serves a range of literary-named vegetarian fare. Order the Wuthering Heights (a walnut pate sandwich with Brie and apples), and sample one of the 80-plus loose-leaf teas. Get lost in the aisles of used books, records, and vintage clothing while you wait for your order. If you’re lucky, you may even catch a book discussion, concert, or open mic event." - Victoria Gough

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!

Great place to chill and hang out. With some book-reading ambience music from local bands to a good variety of books to buy off-the-shelf, it's one of the nicest nooks in downtown state college.

I was looking for a unique spot to get some work done during my visit to State College & this fit the bill wonderfully! Great vibes amongst books & vintage shop, but slow service in the cafe due to being ran by students. They were out of both things I ordered & didn’t let me know, but when my snacks never came, the manager acted quickly to find a solution. - also great prices; there are many options $7 and under

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

Jazz Brunch Webster's Bookstore & Cafe was delightful this past Sunday. There was a nice assortment of brunch foods, the stars for me being the roasted potatoes, probably the best I’ve had while dining out and the fresh fruit. The pancake texture was a little off for me, but Hubby said a little extra syrup did the trick for him. Kudos to Webster’s for serving organic maple syrup, I hate when the only option at a restaurant is “pancake syrup” whatever all that concoction is…. The background live music was lovely and just the right volume so table conversation could still be enjoyed. Cool place to browse, too!

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.
