"This was my first visit to the Dear Joe Cafe in the Nittany Lion Inn and it was overall positive, but with one big drawback. Cons: the small hazelnut latte that I ordered was served to me warm, not even close to hot, which did make me sad on a cold winter day. I think the barista just put in syrup that had been pulled out of the fridge too recently or didn't steam the milk to the right temperature. Pros: beautiful cafe with darling tile floors, big windows to let in lots of lite, a selection of table and high seating, and some delicious looking pastries. I will be returning in the hope that the next latte I get there is hot and to try a cheese danish while soaking in the perfect cafe atmosphere."

"Located within the historic Nittany Lion Inn, this café offers a convenient option for guests staying on the premises. The atmosphere is modern, clean, and inviting—an ideal spot for a quick breakfast or coffee break without leaving the hotel. While the café is enjoyable, it doesn’t stand out among the many excellent options in town. Unless you're staying at the Inn, other local spots may offer a better experience."

"Awesome drip coffee in a clean and refreshing environment. A lovely place to enjoy a morning coffee and relax within the serenity of the Nittany Lion Inn"

"Enjoyed a mocha latte at the new Dear Joe: Cafe & Bakery."
