The bad: the counterperson was working by themself...running short order food, the espresso machine, the ice cream, the drive through and the counter. Also VERY bad: the to-go cup softened from the hot coffee and collapsed, popping off the lid and scalding the human holding it. Terrible cups. But the counterperson deserves a raise!

I got the country fried steak skillet with hashbrowns, two fried eggs and a pancake. The country fried steak was cooked perfectly with a salty gravy with hearty meat chunks that complimented it well. The hashbrowns were crispy and served in a massive portion. The pancake was surprisingly good. This does not taste like a frozen pancake nor even a box mix. It had flavor without syrup which was nice to notice before I drowned it in syrup. Price was fair especially for the portion size. I had leftovers. They do share a building with a gas station which is a bit interesting. I was able to seat myself where I liked. This is an old school diner still doing things the right way. I might have to go here on my way back home!

Publicly attacking another small business instead of focusing on your own products is unprofessional and reflects poorly on your business. I choose to support businesses that promote themselves with integrity, respect, and professionalism. If your products are truly exceptional, they should speak for themselves. Tearing down a competitor isn't good marketing--it's a reflection of your character. I would not eat their food or enjoy their ambiance based on how they act towards the community.

I came in on a Sunday morning and there was a little line of people ahead of me but it moved pretty quickly! Interior-wise, there isn't a ton of space for seating but luckily, there are plenty of tables/chairs at The Yard Container Park that's ~40 second walk from the bakery. I got the strawberry passionfruit cruffin, chocolate almond croissant, lavender vanilla shortbread, and a latte with sugar-free caramel. First off, I was very impressed with the variety of flavors that were displayed (i.e. passionfruit, rhubarb, cardamon, kimchi, etc.) All the baked goods I got were fantastic- especially the cruffin. I was initially hesitant to order it because I'm not a fan when the exterior doesn't have that flakey/crunchiness. But I'm glad I tried the one here because the texture was perfect. As for the filling, it was a good balance of sweet and tart. Same thing for the croissant. When I ate the cruffin, I already knew the croissant was about to hit- and it did. Perfectly flakey and had that beautiful crunchy exterior. They definitely didn't skimp on the chocolate/almond filling either! Personally, it was a little too much for me but that's just a me thing Last but not least, the lavender vanilla shortbread was wonderful. You can actually taste the lavender and they added a perfect amount of salt to bring the flavors out! Aside from the delightful pastries, the coffee was lovely and the staff were super friendly. Nostalgic Bean is definitely a Altoona gem!
