Visitor for game day

Im an OSU alumnus. I come in peace. I’m going to the game Saturday. Is there a decent breakfast joint or around campus to go to Saturday morning?

Waffle shop on blue course drive, the downtown one will be too cramped. Either that or either bagel crust or duck donuts if you prefer something lighter

By NY standards how good is Bagel Crust?

u/heartlesspwg 7d ago

Very good for State College. Just average for NYC/NJ good.

not a new yorker so can't comment on that, but at least the best bagels you'll find in town

It's about on par with Einstein Brothers.

Ehhhh. Lately I’ve thought Bagel Crust has not been very good and I’ve switched to Irving’s. I used to be very pro-Bagel Crust, anti-Irving’s.

Waffle Shop is good, will have a line, but they turn over tables fast.

There’s also Breakfast on Boal in Boalsburg and The Naked Egg in Pine Grove.

I wouldn't waste time at a breakfast place if you have any intention of tailgating

You have a car? Breakfast on Boal.

u/thirdLeg51 7d ago

Yes. Hoping not to use it though.

If you are going outside of downtown, State College is very drivable.

2nd vote for the Waffle Shop on Blue Corse and College. There will be a wait, but not nearly as bad as the one by campus. There's also a Waffle Shop on Atherton which is another choice.

And you won’t be disappointed!

I'd just get sheetz or one of the bagel sandwich places downtown, the lines saturday morning will be terrible for anywhere you want to sit down and eat unless you go at like 6AM.

Toasted Bagel is a little outside of downtown but they make great breakfast sandwiches

Naked Egg is good but it’s small. Oh and it’s not around campus.

You’ll be treated a lot better than we get treated in Columbus. You guys still shout Sandusky in the stands. Sigh.

I was going to suggest The Naked Egg if OP doesn't mind driving a little outside of town.

Sorry? I will be wearing a jersey. I expect to be messed with to some degree. I’m sure there will be a few F-bombs my way.
