After announcing the new menu when opening the new Yallah Taco on College Ave., the State College staple is dipping its feet into the downtown breakfast scene. Here’s what some of our staffers had to say about the new breakfast menu:
Frankie Marzano: Breakfast Burrito
I was absolutely blown away by Yallah’s breakfast burrito. The burrito comes packed with scrambled eggs, queso, avocado, and tater tots. The tater tots are really what did it for me. They had the perfect level of crispiness but didn’t take up the entire burrito. The queso and avocado provided plenty of flavors that you can’t get in any other breakfast sandwich downtown.
Back in 2017, we posted a video of students
slipping and falling on the icy streets of downtown State College. With yet another ice storm headed our way, we decided to ask our staff where on campus or downtown they wouldn’t want to be caught dead slipping and falling on ice.
Acacia Aster Broder: Pegula Ice Arena
In my sophomore year, I decided to go to free skate at Pegula with some of my sorority sisters. I skated a few times as a kid and hated it, so going again as an adult didn’t fill me with excitement. I awkwardly laced up the skates I rented and hobbled on to the ice after my friends went on without me.
Federal Tap House: I only have one word to describe these wings “sophisticated.”
DP Dough: This one came as a little bit of a surprise. DP Dough obviously specializes in more than calzones. These wings had great taste and the perfect amount of heat and sauce overall.
Wings Over: These wings were very close to being second on my list. They had the perfect amount of heat and texture. Wings Over successfully lived up to its reputation.
Are U Hungry: This was basically a chicken nugget with a tiny bone in it, but they were still pretty darn good. These had the best sauce by far.
