Come Back to the Penn Stater for Iconic Penn State Eats

Happy Valley’s go-to Sunday brunch is back, and it’s just as good as you remember. With champagne and mimosas included with your meal, you can start out a lazy Happy Valley Sunday in a truly indulgent way. Reviewers on Google and Yelp agree: brunch at The Gardens at The Penn Stater is the iconic, delicious Penn State breakfast experience.

“The food is really special, fresh, and well prepared. There is enough variety for everyone.”

“Despite Covid, The Gardens still pulls off Top Notch Service!!! Same amazing food I've come to love, and truly excellent service. Highly recommend trying them out.”

“My wife and I had family visiting from Germany and Pittsburgh and we decided to take them to the Sunday Brunch in The Gardens. Everything was PERFECT! Excellent selections, fresh food, outstanding service. The smoked salmon & caviar are worth the price itself! I can't think of a more outstanding value in State College.”

“The standard by which I rate all other brunch buffets around the country — and very few have equaled the Penn Stater...The food at the Gardens is delicious, freshly-prepared, and in some cases, locally-sourced (Irving's bagels, Tait Farm spreads and Penn State Creamery cream cheese and ice cream, for a few examples). You can try some higher-end foods (caviar!) and enjoy some pricey treats (mimosas) along with all the delicious entrees, sides, salads, breads, desserts and all of this comes at a very reasonable price. ..If you go home hungry, you did something wrong.”
