WC Clarke's The Cheese Shoppe

you're on e calder way, which puts you a short walk from penn state's campus in a part of state college that moves at a slightly different pace than the main drag. the cheese shoppe has been here long enough that regulars treat it less like a discovery and more like a standing appointment. that kind of loyalty doesn't come from convenience alone. what you get at 234 e calder way is a roaster that takes its coffee seriously without making a performance of it, the sourcing and the roasting handled in-house rather than outsourced to whoever's on trend. if you're in state college on a weekday morning, this is where you want to be before the day gets away from you.
