The coffee was smooth and delicious, and the outdoor seating area had such a relaxing vibe, especially on a sunny day. It's one of those cafés where you instantly feel comfortable, like you've found your own little corner to unwind. Definitely a place I'll stop by again whenever I'm in the area.

For those who knew my grandma, she never turned down ice cream. So while in town last week for her…read morefuneral, my friend suggested we visit Amy & Alex's Homemade Ice Cream and Coffee. I'm not usually a huge ice cream person, but it felt like the perfect way to honor her. The shop itself was bright, clean, and welcoming, with several people already enjoying their treats. We grabbed a high table by the front window, which made for some great people-watching while we indulged. The menu immediately caught my eye. The range of flavors wasn't just broad--it was creative, unique, and full of options you don't see every day. That foodie spark kicked in, and I knew I had to go with a flight so I could taste a few. (Brilliant idea, by the way--four little cups of different flavors!) Our picks were: Grilled Lime Burnt Honey Crunchy PB Jelly Espresso Mascarpone Lemon Biscotti Brown Butter Pecan & Praline Each scoop came with a color-changing spoon (such a fun touch), and every flavor was creamy, consistent in texture, and absolutely delicious. My favorites were a tie between the Espresso Mascarpone (though I think it could stand strong without the lemon biscotti) and the Brown Butter Pecan & Praline. The Grilled Lime Burnt Honey was bright and unique, and the Crunchy PB Jelly was tasty but leaned a bit sweet for me. Overall, this was some of the best ice cream I've had--flavorful, high-quality, and true to its name. Add in the kind, helpful staff and the clean, cozy atmosphere, and it made for a really special stop. I left not just with a happy palate, but also with a new tradition: every year on August 22, I'll seek out a new ice cream spot in honor of my grandma. Amy & Alex's was the perfect place to start.

I'm writing to bring your attention to an unfortunate experience my husband and I had at your…read moreShepherdstown location this past Tuesday around 4 p.m. After unsuccessfully trying to reach someone directly, I felt it was important to follow up, as I would want to know if I were in your position. We've been loyal customers for over 12 years and have always appreciated the charm and warmth your store offers. Unfortunately, this visit was quite the opposite. My husband--just a week out from emergency surgery--was on his first short outing. We were both wearing masks for medical reasons. While that shouldn't matter, the staff member behind the register treated us with clear hostility from the moment we walked in. I greeted her politely, but she responded with an eye roll and a visibly unwelcoming attitude after looking at my mask first. That is ableism. Before my husband even entered the store, she abruptly and rudely asked, "Um, is that a service dog?" I answered honestly that our dog was not. Rather than calmly explaining store policy, she became increasingly short and vague. When I asked for clarification--since we've previously visited with our dog after receiving permission--she abruptly mentioned the health department had "just been in," and seemed flustered when it became clear we were unaware of any new policy. The tone throughout was dismissive, confrontational, and deeply unprofessional. Others in the store appeared just as surprised. It wasn't just about the dog; it felt discriminatory and ableist. We were simply trying to enjoy a brief outing and pick up a gift, but left feeling disrespected and unwelcome. This experience does not reflect the Shepherdstown community or the reputation your store has built over the years. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I would appreciate a response, and I'm happy to revise or remove my review once this is addressed--it was simply my only way to reach you when other attempts failed.

We were seated right away and the waiter took our order relatively quickly, then bately checked back in. I ordered a cup a soup to come out before my sandwhich.....it did not arrive at all. No apology when I told the waiter. We were seated by a large window that was extremely drafty, so much so we had to put our coats back on Sandwhiches were good, though nothing special. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Street/Meter Parking. We have heard great things about the spot, undecided if we will give them another chance.

Beyond the free smells, they have a few products that I count among my favorites (though many more I have yet to try tbh). The highlight from my visits: Elderberry Ginger Syrup. Yikes! It's delicious! We bought a bottle and used the whole thing within 24-hrs as a syrup in "healthy" tonic water sodas. I mentioned how much we love it and that we're not local and the nice person at the register noted they sell the herb blend to make your own at home. Whaaat. Yes, please. Bought that too. I'm looking forward to trying my hand at my own DIY elderberry ginger syrup. I was also able to find Weleda shampoo, a broth packet (reishi & shiitake!), and oat bar snack to take home. We'll definitely keep coming back!
