The Best Ice Cream In West Virginia
What are some of the best ice cream places in West Virginia?
- Stalder Family Creamery ( New Martinsville): Inside this tiny shop is a big flavor contained in lots of homemade ice cream. Since 2019, the refreshing pitstop has provided a welcome respite to the locals in its homemade ice cream flavors. While the inventory changes, some of those include black raspberry, butter pecan, peach, cake batter, snickerdoodle, and pineapple upside-down cake. And take some to go in pint or quart containers.
- Ellen's Homemade Ice Cream (Charleston): For more than 20 years, Ellen's has invited folks into a delightful experience in a historic space. Made with love, the ice cream is certainly the main draw here, especially anything chocolate. But don't overlook the soups, salads, and wraps. And made-to-order platters can serve up to six people for office gatherings or picnics. While you're there, be sure to note the artwork on the door created by the most talented Charles Jupiter Hamilton.
- Dairy Crème Corner (Fairmont): Since this one is seasonal, it's worth making a note so that when the weather warms up, you can order the nearly foot-tall ice cream cones. Can you imagine? The ice cream comes in soft serve with the choice of chocolate, vanilla, and black raspberry. You'll feel like you're at a carnival when you try a made-to-order funnel cake or a funnel cake sundae. This is a cash-only establishment, so bring a pocketbook full so you don't miss out on the creamy goodness.
