    The best fresh roasted coffee in Happy Valley since 1978! My only quibble is that I'm finding the stair down to the shop a bit more challenging as my joints get worse. But *so* worth it!

    It's a fine place to drink some coffee or buy some cheese. One of the few specialty shops of it's kind in the area. The main drawbacks are the lack of seating to enjoy a cup of joe and that in some ways it's a bit more expensive than other options, but this is to be expected because it is a specialty business.

    Bill was there. I believe he is the owner. He is an attentive nice man. He was really cordial and pleasant. I got half block of Hollandaise cheese (gouda) and coffee. There is a big repertoire of coffee there according to the roasting preference of the clients.

    Old school cool! Can't say how much this guy/place has meant to me! I visit anytime i am anywhere near State College. A coffee roaster with a huge selection of coffees always. The biggest reason i started roasting my own coffee, and now have my own place. Do yourself a favor and visit if you are near!

    Simply put, you won't find another coffee roaster more dedicated to his craft than Bill Clarke. A State College classic. Ethiopian Harrar is my go to.
