I always enjoy coming to Sowers when we're in State College! They have some good Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free options if you're not sensitive to eggs or rice! I've not ever got something I didn't like here!

Sunday was my first visit to Webster's. At first, I felt like I was crashing a private party. I think this was mainly due to have warm and welcoming the owner was. She was greeting and chatting with everyone. The food was amazing. Heaven for vegan and gluten-free needs!

Yesterday afternoon we stopped in for a late lunch after a recommendation from our daughters friend. Everyone on the staff was warm and welcoming. Joel was our bartender. He was very attentive and obviously took pride in his drinks and overall work. We wanted to see the town so we told them we would be back again later. We came back again and Joel was there to help us again and we had an even better time. The night staff on Halloween was just as amazing as the staff earlier in the day. The food was incredible as well. Being gluten free due to Celiacs, everyone was knowledgeable and accommodating. They even had the best cider I’ve had yet and a gluten free beer. We wish we didn’t live 5 hrs away just so we could make this somewhere we could frequent but we will definitely be back when we visit Penn state again.

Pretty good. I appreciated the gluten free bun. The chips were just alright and the pickle didn't have a ton of flavor. I would recommend going with fries or another side instead

I know Waffle Shop is a State College institution, but I always find their food to be mediocre. It's a traditional diner with lots of choices, but even their namesake item - Waffles - is just blah (soft and mushy). When I stick with standard eggs, toast, sausage, it's better. Be careful if you have issues with gluten though, since my husband got glutened there (he ordered an omelette instead of just eggs, so we suspect they might use batter to make the omelettes fluffier. Should have asked)

One of the main locations for in-campus dining. Spacious seating areas with wonderful view overlooking Pollock residence hall garden and East side of campus. Fancy design, and most importantly healthy and fresh nutritious food served. Deliciously prepared meats, fish and other entrees, let alone the salad bar! Vegetarian, vegan, gluten and lactose free options always available. Special varieties are also offered for Halal dining and during the months of Ramadan. Breakfast includes the cottage cheese unavailable in other locations. Kudos to all the hard-working staff for making the place so fabulous!

Their Sunday Brunch Buffet is amazing! Almost all the items were gluten free and cinsidering I have Celiac disease. Brandon chef was sooooo attentive to our dietary needs. He even brought us a special flourless chocolate cake just for us. Food was superb, waitress Carly was extremely nice and attentive. Ate so much from the buffet had no room.for the omelette station. Potato gouda soup was to die for. Best brunch in State College hands down!

My family and I really enjoyed our visit to RE Farm. We went for tapas and stayed for trivia. The tapas menu was a bit limited but still had options for everyone, including gluten-free and vegetarian. Everything we ordered was delicious. The trivia game was 4 rounds with about 5 questions each, which was the perfect length. The questions were a great mix of categories that allowed for everyone on our team to participate. A few rounds had a mystery taste test where you had to guess the secret ingredient - these were the highlight of the night. The reservation system was a bit confusing as it was unclear what exactly was included in the fee. Overall though, we had a great time enjoying fresh and flavorful tapas. RE Farm is a really cool concept that is totally different from anything you can find downtown, highly recommend giving them a try!

Loved this place! Our server was fabulous from start to finish. We had French press coffee and it tasted like the coffee in Europe. I need to eat gluten free and was so happy to have an egg sandwich on a GF bun and couldn’t pass up the crème brûlée. So good! My husband had the Chicken Fried Chicken and he said it was really, really good. If you want a variety of tasty food with a casual atmosphere and very reasonable pricing, go!

Staff is knowledgeable about gluten in their products and are helpful in making substitutions as needed. They didn't make me feel like a bother. They have the great Coke machine there, so I got some flavors I rarely get. The only bad part is they don't have trays and I ordered soup. They put a lid on to help me out.
