Chew Chew Bun

Love Chew Chew Bun! Friendly and knowledgeable staff, with inventive and tasty drinks and pastries. The barista recommended the Rose Latte to me, assuring me it is well balanced and she was right! Just the right amount of floral, not too sweet, completely different from anything else in town. Recently, they had their Lunar New Year specials and WOW! Really enjoyed trying so many new and delicious things. Cannot wait to see what they come up with next. If you’re looking for elevated pastry and great coffee and tea, you must try Chew Chew Bun.

I have to say the egg tarts don’t quite live up to my expectations. They are served cold which is already not a good sign. The pastry feels overcooked, with the bottom rising too much, causing the custard to have overflowed during baking, but instead of being super crispy, it is rather hard and chewy. The custard is quite dense and sweet but the amount of custard is a bit stingy and there is hardly any extra aroma or taste to it. I was anticipating them to at least be as good as what I made myself at home. I also had a ham & cheese. The strongest flavor of it is Heinz ketchup and really, I believe anyone can roughly reproduce it even in a busy morning.

Very cozy place. Egg tarts served flaky and warm when I get them. I love getting a hot matcha latte here! I’ve tried other cafes downtown but others’ matcha tends to lose its tea flavor/more milk forward. Baristas are also super welcoming. Its fun seeing what new pastries they come out with. During the art festival, they had this delicious hojicha cream bun that kept its strong tea flavor inside a sweet and slightly savory soft bun…their bakery is awesome. One of my favorite spots no question.

CCB is one of my favorite places in the State College area. They use local Rothrock Coffee beans, which are the best. Somehow, it's also the way they make their lattes and other tea/coffee drinks that make it my favorite compared to any other coffee shop. It just always tastes perfect to me. It's more delicate, which I enjoy. The buns are unique for this area. They make their buns from scratch, fresh each morning. And there are so many kinds! The owner, Skye, is one of the most creative business owners I've met. He pours everything into making this place amazing - and it shows. There is always something new happening, and I find it inspiring. He does a good job at hiring staff that are friendly, competent, and interested in providing a genuinely nice customer experience.

My new favorite place to go! Customer service is amazing. Pastries & drinks are delicious! They seem to have a new menu everyday with some repeating items. We had the egg tart, taro bun, red bean bun, classic melon, & mung bean pastry in the span of two days. The location we went to was in downtown State College. They're really close by to Webster's & right next to Phryst. HIGHLY recommend! ❤️🙌👏
