State College, Pennsylvania
Café and bakery at the Nittany Lion Inn with specialty coffee
Dear Joe: is the café and bakery located within the newly renovated Nittany Lion Inn, which reopened in September 2024 after an extensive update. Open daily from 6 AM to 5 PM, it offers light breakfasts, grab-and-go items, house-made pastries, and specialty coffees. One quirky highlight: they use Ripple technology to print custom images onto lattes with foam, allowing patrons to upload photos from their camera roll—like faces, logos, or memes—for a truly personalized coffee experience . This fun twist, paired with a relaxing atmosphere inside the historic inn, makes Dear Joe: a unique and memorable spot for both caffeine and creativity.
