Standing Stone Coffee Company

Amazing food and beverages, delicious espresso drinks, fantastic service ... The owners are wonderful and very civic minded. I love coming here and spending my money on such an incredible shop.

A few weeks ago I made plans to meet with a friend at Standing Stone Coffee Company. Standing Stone Coffee is a newer coffee shop that opened a few years after I left the Huntingdon area. Though I was excited to try their coffee, I must admit that I wasn’t expecting much. Now, I don’t want to sound snobbish, but when you live in the coffee capital of the USA, one doesn’t expect to have REALLY GOOD coffee in central Pennsylvania….Boy was I wrong.

When I walked into Standing Stone Coffee I noticed the beautiful fragrance of freshly roasted coffee (they roast their own beans). I also noticed that the business had a wonderful atmosphere that would fit various situations. I could easily see myself going there to study, visit with a friend or work. The staff was very friendly and seemed to know a great deal about the coffee that they were brewing.

When I stepped up to the counter I ordered my “go to” drink: Americano. In case you don’t know, an Americano is basically a few shots of espresso with hot water added to it. It’s basically a stronger, smoother version of drip coffee. I noticed that their espresso beans were single origin Colombian from the Poppyan Region. Though most “coffee snobs” won’t consider Colombian beans a gourmet coffee, I’ll admit that it is one of my favorites!

In the case of Standing Stone Coffee, I really enjoyed this variety. It was smooth almost like silk, and there were deep dark chocolate undertones. I also noticed that this variety wasn’t acidic or citrusy like some, but rather it had a smooth nutty flavor.

I haven’t tried any of the other beverages at Standing Stone Coffee, but I assume that they are all fabulous as well. I’ve actually gone back twice since that first visit. This little coffee company definitely competes with some of the fine coffee shops in Seattle!

The best part about this visit is that I know now that there is a place for me to get coffee when I’m visiting my old tromping grounds!

Wonderful food. Delicious soup. And you can do your laundry while you have cofee croissants or lunch. Lovely atmosphere. Super-Duper!

The best chai tea latte I ever had. The food is delicious as well. Gluten-free options available. Highly recommended. Looking forward to coming back here.

My boyfriend and I were taking a journey through the Pennsylvania countryside for my birthday and I suggested we stop here because it had good reviews and pumpkin-flavored coffee (a favorite of mine). When we got inside, we said we'd like our order of a cheese panini and two coffees to go, because we found a cute little park a mile or so away and we wanted to have a picnic. Well, after watching local after local stroll in, order more food than us, and eat it in front of us, we got annoyed. Another woman with ONE PANINI was waiting ahead of us. Our order ended up taking 45 minutes, for a glorified grilled cheese and two lattes. When we complained to the cashier, she said "it can get pretty busy, you guys should have called ahead for your food." After an attitude like that, I would never go back here. They cater to locals and blame their poor service on the customer. What an atrocious way to do business. If you are an out of towner or want coffee to go, please do not give them your business.

Friendly, accommodating, and pleasant experience. I felt safe eating there. Food and drinks were awesome as always!

Charming and homey atmosphere, comfortable and quaint outdoor seating, delicious fresh lunch food, kindness in their customer service. The town is represented very positively with them around.

In the middle of the central Pennsylvania Allegheny mountains is this great coffee bar that knows how to pull a good shot of espresso. I stopped at Standing Stone Coffee on a trip to Huntington before heading home. I usually make my own coffee at home in MD because the people at the Mermaid Lady place don't do all that well, no crema, meh taste. Not so at the Standing Stone. I was served a righteous double shot with a truly thick and sweet crema, something I would not have expected but there it was. Now Huntington is a nice college town with a clientele that I'm sure knows good from bad, but I would put these guys up against the best indy shops anywhere. Outstanding. Really.

The gobbler panini... My God, this is a fantastic sandwich! Thankfully they only have it 1 month out of the year (November) or it is all I'd eat. I don't drink coffee, so I can't comment on that, but that doesn't matter. Stop wasting time reading this. Go in and get your gobbler panini before it's gone till next year.
