Rothrock Coffee

Enjoyed my first cup of coffee from Rothrock today. Hands down best cup of coffee in State College! Will definitely be returning!!!

Hands down the best coffee in State College. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great products. Lots of outlets to charge all of my devices! Overall just a great experience!

I thought the atmosphere was clean and inviting and the regular coffee was rich and flavorful.

Weird way to start a four-​star review of a coffee shop: I don’t like their (plain, decaf) coffee. Went roaring way past rich, dark roast/​strong and straight into bitter-​without-​underlying-​flavors-​or-​interest territory.
But the space is nice. Open, feels industrial. Good for working. There’s not a ton of seating but it’s not that big a space. Classic rock on the radio. Not my favorite for working, but certainly fine. Not distracting at least.
The one glaring issue I noticed: no outlets. I use an older laptop when I work outside my home, and the battery doesn’t last. I only found one seat in the vicinity of an outlet (which fortunately was unoccupied). I saw no other outlets along the wall where nearly all the seating is located. I think the ability to charge up is pretty much expected at this point, especially in a place where people plan to work. Even bars have outlets for charging devices now, and I was quite surprised to see this lack.
Staff is nice and friendly, getting their feet under them. There are no other coffee shops in this immediate vicinity, so I’m glad this place showed up. Someday I’ll have to branch out and try a drink that actually requires some skill to make– maybe I’ll have better luck.

This is an excellent new place for coffee in State College. It’s obvious Jamie and crew really have a passion for what they do. The barista staff are some of the best around town; they know their stuff. Having worked in coffee for two years at premier shops in SC&Pittsburgh, I can say that I’m thoroughly impressed and excited to see ®othrock Coffee take off as easily one of the best in town.
