State College, Pennsylvania
Family-run breakfast institution serving Happy Valley since 1972
The Original Waffle Shop West, established in 1998 on West College Avenue, is a beloved State College breakfast institution and one of several branches of the family-run Waffle Shop, which has been serving Happy Valley since 1972. Known for its friendly service and bustling, warm vibe, it stands out for its classic breakfast and lunch menu—featuring everything from buttermilk pancakes and golden waffles to omelets, burgers, and sandwiches. Patrons frequently rave about the perfectly crispy Belgian waffles, thick-cut bacon, fluffy pancakes, and red-skin fried potatoes—all made with fresh ingredients and care. The West College location, with its convenient layout and parking near Penn State, has become a local favorite for both students and visitors alike
