I probably should've gotten a latte but as someone who loves sweet things I didn't foresee this being too sweet. It was good at first and really tasted like a chocolate cinnamon roll but by then end I wanted to brush my teeth. The bathroom was very clean but I did need to request a key from the barista.

I don't leave reviews often but I was so bothered by how unserious and unprepared this coffee shop…read moreis. The people who go here are 95% in line to get a sugary iced beverage not a real coffee. You can tell within moments of entering and reading their menu. This isn't a coffee shop it's a dessert beverage place who dabbles in coffee. Don't believe me? I ordered a latte and asked the gentleman if the small has a double shot or a single shot of espresso, a very basic and simple question. He responded "i don't know." I inquired about the various sizes and amount of shots and he again replied "i don't know" then he said "if the latte doesn't have espresso i can make sure they add it." I said "your lattes don't already come with espresso?" He once again said "i don't know." (Obviously all lattes come with espresso) . He never bothered to check either. My niece proceeded to ask what flavors their macarons were, it took them asking 4 employees to give her an answer while the line piled up behind us Again this isn't a serious coffee shop, just one masquerading as one. I don't live in Altoona but when I visit i go across town to the clay cup. I've been in coffee shops all across this country, this one is just not it unless you want a bucket of sugar.

I got a variety of layered donuts to bring home, and loved the many different flavors to choose from that are made fresh multiple times a day. The sandy beach was my fav! I was also very excited to see vegan donuts on their menu and had to try one - they are much smaller and more dense but have a lovely flavor and are made fresh! Parlor also has a variety of drinks, breakfast sandwiches, and even savory donuts to choose from. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I'm looking forward to visiting again!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!
