After having lunch at Food & Friends, my West Virginia friend suggested Amy's Market for ice cream…read moreon our way out of Lewisburg. Can't go wrong with ice cream!
I've always enjoyed ice cream anytime and anywhere. Here in Lewisburg, West Virginia, there's none like it. West Virginia ice cream does taste like ice cream made anywhere, to be honest. But having Ice Cream where you can have it is always a good thing. After roaming the town for an hour or so, we came to Amy's Market for a dessert snack before heading back to Princeton for the night. The store / restaurant felt like a small town general store that had the modern conveniences but stuck in some sort of time warp. Rustic style for sure but it was cool to see such things in the 21st century. With that said, my experience here took about 30 minutes from start to finish. We walked from the confederate cemetery to Amy's Market, which wasn't too far and passed The Barracks on the way in. After our ice cream purchases, we walked back to the confederate cemetery to retrieve the car for the drive back. It gave us time to work off the calories from lunch and the recently purchased ice cream. During our time at Amy's Market, we looked at the bakery and see how much brownies and other items that we could have bought, but we didn't. They had so much stuff in the bakery side that it made my mouth water. But we stuck to our plan and had ice cream. I asked the staff if they made their milkshakes with the ice cream and they said yes. Here's a pro tip for y'all. It can be less expensive if you did the ice cream milkshake versus 2+ scoops of ice cream. Not by much but it's an option for anyone and everyone to either drink or eat your ice cream. Just an option.
The overall experience here at Amy's Market in Lewisburg, West Virginia was very cool and chill. The service here was good and there was a teenager working at the time. Might have been a local high school senior, I think. They didn't really have a seating area for patrons to sit and enjoy their purchases. My friend and I wanted to head out of Lewisburg anyway, so we just had to do a quick purchase and headed out. It was nice having ice cream here and to support local West Virginia businesses and the community while I was here as a tourist. My friend paid for lunch so I treated us to dessert, which made the stop here at Amy's Market much more meaningful. Plus, I was craving for ice cream anyway. For the most part though, the ice cream was delicious and definitely worth it. It was also very good and a game changer, especially when it's served in milkshake form. Regardless of how it is prepared and served, ice cream is ice cream. Amy's market is clean and definitely a place where you can purchase your favorite desserts and bakery items. If I'm ever in Lewisburg in the future, I'll definitely be there to try out their bakery items and sample more of their ice cream flavors. But for now, the chocolate ice cream that I had was quintessential amazing and looking forward to the next time I can be back for another round. If you're ever in the area and love your ice cream fix, consider coming to Amy's Market for your daily snack. It's worth it if you're around and can participate in daily ice cream rituals. Recommended if you're in the area or will be in the area in the future.
Amy's Market is located next to The Barracks museum in Lewisburg, West Virginia. It's physically located at 990 Jefferson Street N in Lewisburg. They accept major credit cards as well as cash. As far as parking goes, there's a small parking lot that faces that building. And a larger parking area that is adjacent to it, but you'd have to go down a small lane to access it. Still, it is nice to have such a nice parking area to have for anyone and everyone to enjoy and not have to legit park elsewhere in town and have to walk far to come to the store. The parking can be a premium at peak times so best bet would be to come here early enough to avoid traffic. Lewisburg has limited public transportation options, so best bet will be to have your own car or a rent one or better yet have a brand in the area who's going to drive you to and from Lewisburg and making a stop here at Amy's Market for baked goods and the quintessential signature ice cream. There's always Uber or Lyft at your disposal, but keep in mind that they could be very very expensive, depending on where you originating from. Because it's been said that Amy's market is the best in Lewisburg, West Virginia. I tend to agree. Thanks to my local West Virginia friend for taking me here during my recent visit in November 2025. Delicious ice cream at an affordable price. They do have limited flavors though, so if you're local or time to return regularly, you can see if they change flavors regularly too or if they keep the same flavor profile day after day and month after month. Thanks Lewisburg, Amy's Market is a great place to be.
