Bonfatto's Italian Market & Corner Cafe is absolutely adorable! I just love the cozy vibe in there. Even though it’s a smaller space, it has such a great atmosphere. The food is delicious and reminds me of the original Bonfatto’s downtown from years ago. I also love the variety—you can order from the menu or browse the marketplace for unique items. It’s always busy when I go, which is a sign of a great spot! Plus, being right across from Talleyrand Park makes it perfect for grabbing a meal to enjoy outside or stopping in after a nice walk. Highly recommend!
It’s always a pleasure going to Bonfatto’s! I love how many delicious vegan options they have! The Mediterranean bowl without feta is my go-to. They have a great selection of real Italian products— some that I used to purchase when I lived in Italy. Also, I’ve been impressed with how great their staff is. Good customer service is hard to come by nowadays, but they treat their customers quite well. Keep up the good work! (And keep up the vegan options!)
My fiance and I are staying in the area for the weekend and we stopped here for brunch and I had the BEST ice caramel latte (Freddo) I ever had. It seriously was that good. I almost went back in for a second but just couldn’t because of the caffeine intake. I got mine with oat milk. Great atmosphere and staff.
Excellent Italian cafe tucked away in Bellefonte. I’m consistently impressed by the quality and deliciousness of their food. You must get a hand crafted beverage while there- excellent. The tiramisu is superb as well. Easy convenient online order for take out as well.
My favorite cafe shop in the Bellefonte/State College area! Their coffee and coffee flavors are absolutely delicious! I love to try their specials, but their classic flavors never disappoint either. They also have great cafe food, I love their chicken pesto panini, and their desserts are also so good! I’ve been here multiple times, a few times with a larger party. Although seating is limited, we were able to find seats. Also when it’s nice you can always go and sit in the park nearby and enjoy your food/drinks. Overall, I highly recommend stopping on by here!
Really nice local diner on the corner. Plenty of seating, but it can get busy; you might have to wait for a table. Bathrooms are sometimes clean; the staff is really friendly, and the food is delicious. Plenty of parking is available across the street in the parking lot, near the Gamble Mill and in the center of the historic district. Make sure to take a walk across the street and check out the fish in the beautiful waterfall pond, where you can feed them. Feed is available there. It's a beautiful spot near the fish.
This establishment is awesome! Great food, cute little cafe! The Bobollini's were decadent. Breakfast sandwich's were tasty- Egg Pesto Panini & Smoked Pancetta,Egg &Cheese on Foccica! Oh and the coffee(house drip) was good as well. Get here...
Lovely shop that is a cafe and marketplace. If you are on a Paleo diet there are not many options to choose from. No beverages at all since they don't even offer herbal tea. We got the Shakshuka without the bread and the Mediterranean salad. They were both all right. The presentation was good. The girl working behind the counter was really nice and helpful in answering all the questions I had. Due to limited seating, they limit the times you can work at the Cafe or have study groups.
