Large modern building with a couple of comfy rooms to hang out in including one with a (faux) fireplace that was lit! I ordered the vegetarian Caprese breakfast sandwich on a bagel that certainly didn't disappoint. Also ordered the hot matcha which was a tad sweet ... my bad and I should have requested unsweetened but it's totally acceptable. I would definitely be here often if I lived in the region. Altoona is lucky to have this marvelous "third place" right heere in the city. Plus added bonus is there's plenty of parking in their back lot.

I probably should've gotten a latte but as someone who loves sweet things I didn't foresee this being too sweet.

Similar to other locations, it has welcoming Americana theming throughout and signature blue tiles on the floor. We went with the cookies & cream and raspberry pistachio donuts. As opposed to my prior experience with Parlor Doughnuts where they were prepared fresh, this location seems to have prepped a supply earlier in the day with a selection on display available for purchase. Both were great donuts, but lacked the texture as you bit into them that I had with my prior experience that put the donuts in the "next level" category for me. They also didn't provide the signature donut boxes, as they simply handed us a bag when we asked for a to-go box. Service wasn't all that warm & friendly or quick here, but still an overall good donut experience for me such that I look forward to visiting Parlor Doughnuts on my future travels.

The Clay Cup is a nice coffee shop located in downtown Altoona near the train station. It's got…read morequite a bit of charm with brick wall interiors, but there is a bit of a musty smell to the place. The place seemed to have a bit of an identity crisis with a separate pottery painting area in the back, but I suppose that's only practical to make multiple uses of the space given this historic core of Altoona seems to have fallen on hard times and doesn't have much going for it. The iced mocha (3.5/5) I got was decent with only minor hints of bitterness, but was otherwise quite average. I'm happy to round up as the service was pleasant and I'm happy to support a small local business. I'd recommend The Clay Cup to those looking for a decent coffee shop in downtown Altoona.

We visited Allegheny Creamery & Crepes in Hollidaysburg while dropping our son back at college, and…read moreit turned out to be a great find. The space has a nice feel to it -- cozy inside, a small bar, and a lovely courtyard with outdoor seating out back. It's a relaxed, welcoming spot that's easy to settle into. The menu covers both sweet and savory crepes, so there's something for everyone. We kept it simple and just had crepes stuffed with savory items and tea, but everything was delicious. The crepes were fresh and well made, and the tea was a nice touch. It's the kind of place we'll definitely be coming back to. It might even become a regular stop on future college runs. If you're in the area, it's well worth checking out.

Theres a great atmosphere inside, with plenty of seating options including upstairs and outside when it's warm. There are a lot of food and drink options for both breakfast and lunch. I enjoyed the tofu scramble, but found it a bit odd that there was an egg on top since tofu is typically a substitute for egg. It was great paired with their homemade hot sauce though, and I loved my cappuccino!

When we went to pick them up we were told there was no dough for pizza. Nobody called or notified us so now we have a birthday party with no food. The workers had no idea how to refund us or what to do. Complete disaster. They left a sweet 15 year old out front to try and fix the mistake and nobody would help her nor did she have the skill set to deal with this. No adult or manager would come out and help this girl out and they just hid in the back with no answers. Finally I told them to just give me the cash to refund me and leave it on my credit card, after standing there with no answers for over 30 minutes and being ignored. I missed most of my son's bday party due to this. I have never experienced this in my life!

Additionally, as a lavender lover, I could barely detect even a hint of lavender. The undissolved sugar at the bottom was also a let down. The donuts are delectable and incredibly inexpensive!
