"I have to say the egg tarts don’t quite live up to my expectations. They are served cold which is already not a good sign. The pastry feels overcooked, with the bottom rising too much, causing the custard to have overflowed during baking, but instead of being super crispy, it is rather hard and chewy. The custard is quite dense and sweet but the amount of custard is a bit stingy and there is hardly any extra aroma or taste to it. I was anticipating them to at least be as good as what I made myself at home. I also had a ham & cheese. The strongest flavor of it is Heinz ketchup and really, I believe anyone can roughly reproduce it even in a busy morning."

"Very cozy place. Egg tarts served flaky and warm when I get them. I love getting a hot matcha latte here! I’ve tried other cafes downtown but others’ matcha tends to lose its tea flavor/more milk forward. Baristas are also super welcoming. Its fun seeing what new pastries they come out with. During the art festival, they had this delicious hojicha cream bun that kept its strong tea flavor inside a sweet and slightly savory soft bun…their bakery is awesome. One of my favorite spots no question."

"CCB is one of my favorite places in the State College area. They use local Rothrock Coffee beans, which are the best. Somehow, it's also the way they make their lattes and other tea/coffee drinks that make it my favorite compared to any other coffee shop. It just always tastes perfect to me. It's more delicate, which I enjoy. The buns are unique for this area. They make their buns from scratch, fresh each morning. And there are so many kinds! The owner, Skye, is one of the most creative business owners I've met. He pours everything into making this place amazing - and it shows. There is always something new happening, and I find it inspiring. He does a good job at hiring staff that are friendly, competent, and interested in providing a genuinely nice customer experience. Each person's personality shines through at the same time, so it feels special. Skye respects those he hires. You can even see it displayed on Chew Chew Bun's Instagram. As of 2025, there is an app where you can order ahead and keep track of/use loyalty points easily. I like that I can see what is going to be available in the bakery window before arriving to the store. Wishing Chew Chew Bun all the success this year and others to follow!"

"My new favorite place to go! Customer service is amazing. Pastries & drinks are delicious! They seem to have a new menu everyday with some repeating items. We had the egg tart, taro bun, red bean bun, classic melon, & mung bean pastry in the span of two days. The location we went to was in downtown State College. They're really close by to Webster's & right next to Phryst. HIGHLY recommend! ❤️🙌👏"

"Absolutely adorable coffee shop with amazing baked goods! My favorite place to stop by for a latte and breakfast in the entire state college area. They have food that can appeal to anyone as well as unique flavors. The employees are always a delight. Can't recommend them enough!!"
