The atmosphere of this place is absolutely spectacular. Not to mention, they have the most accessible hours of any other local coffee shop.

I was amazed I hadn't written a review about one of my favorite places in State College. Websters is awesome and I come here several times a month, much to my wife's chagrin. Webster's has a fantastic book selection, and I really don't think I've ever seen prices as cheap as theirs. The bookstore is huge, and there is always something I find to buy. They have an enormous selection of folio editions, a huge Civil War section, and manage to keep cheap paper backs to a minimum. They have occasional events and sales, such as buy 3 get one free, or when a donor drops off a huge stack of books they often put them out at sale prices. The owners are also so so nice and really love books. They will do whatever they can to help you find something you're interested in. I am in love with the space. Piles of books everywhere, sort of chaotic organization, winding bookcases and hidden seating areas - all they need is a cat! You can reserve tables for meetings, but you can also just grab an open one. I actually have never eaten AT the cafe, but I've had their catering quite often and it is really delicious food.

The food itself was an absolute highlight. Not only was it delicious and beautifully presented, but it also catered perfectly to a diverse range of tastes and dietary preferences among our attendees.If you're in search of a catering service that delivers both exceptional cuisine and impeccable service, please choose Webster's Cafe. Highly recommend!

Honestly, this place was super cool. If I had more time I would have loved to stick around and look through the stack of books throughout the store. I ended up finding a book to take home and grab lunch while I was at it. I was amazed at all of the vegetarian and vegan options and the burrito I had was delicious! Never would have thought a vegan burrito would be that good! Now to the bad part of the review...I ordered a Matcha latte and it was pretty terrible. I've had my fair share of matcha and this was not it. The color was off (murky type of green, not the bright, vibrant green) and the drink was very bitter. Im thinking the matcha powder was old and potentially expired, that's the only reason why it would look and taste like that.

Webster's Bookstore is a brilliant combination of local bookstore and coffeeshop. Their food selection is all vegetarian/vegan, and impressively tasty.They host a lot of fun activities and community events, and are a real blessing to State College. I'm glad they are here!Vegetarian options: Exclusively.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp in the rear entrance.

My only complaint is that they have more affordable books than I'll be able to read in ten lifetimes. Also they don't serve meat. But you waifish nerds are gonna love them that much more for it, as you should. Much love

Cute and super dog friendly! Great menu, good drinks, decent book selection (though you won't find recent bestsellers or anything), and overall amazing atmosphere!

A not-so hidden gem of Downtown State College. Webster’s provides a hometown bookstore feel. With a massive selection of books, it’s hard to leave empty handed.

This is a nice place to have coffee and chat. The books are cheap and they have a nice collection of old and new books. There is a section for vantage items also.

The Secret Garden, Bridge to Terabithia, Neverland (Peter Pan) - much like the settings of these books, entering Webster's Bookstore Cafe is like entering a magical, no frills, sanctuary for a good cup of coffee and a good book. It is a breath of fresh air from State College and the surrounding counties and my wife and our doggo love it here.We've been coming here off and on for the past couple years since moving to the area and it's always a relaxing visit. Another plus are the vegan options (especially the chili).Big shout out to the wonderful Manager/Owner who, during a very busy hour, kindly transformed a display area into a table for us - almost out of thin air.We look forward to our next visit from Altoona!

Neat place. Got some cool records. A lot of variation in pricing but I was able to get a couple good deals.

Good prices and amazing vegan food. One of the best places in state college to get good vegan food. Staff are super friendly and the vibes are super chill.
