First Bite at The Trolley Express Café – A Cozy New Spot in Shenandoah Junction, WV
If you’re rolling through Kearneysville and craving something warm, toasty, and totally worth pulling over for, let us introduce you to The Trolley Express Café — a repurposed vintage trolley parked right next to the ever-popular Black Dog Coffee Company. We swung by for breakfast and caffeine and left happy, full, and ready to spread […]
Old Town Diner
The Old Town Diner, located at 158 N Loudoun Street in Winchester, Virginia, is a cozy spot nestled in the heart of Old Town Winchester on the Walking Mall. They offer classic American comfort food favorites, with a casual dining experience. They serve breakfast and drinks Wednesday through Sunday each week. This was our first […]
Charlotte’s Café
Breakfast is my favorite meal to eat at a restaurant. There is nothing better than finding a cozy breakfast place to get a fresh, homemade meal. We recently discovered Charlotte’s Café in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia. Although they serve breakfast and lunch, we stopped for breakfast. This is about an hour drive for us, so […]
Bolivar Bread Bakery
I recently stumbled across a local staple in our community that I had yet to visit in the many years I’ve lived in the area – Bolivar Bread Bakery. I love the Harper’s Ferry area but am sometimes deterred from going because it’s not always easy to find parking. (Disclaimer: If you have never been […]
The Venue at Brix27 – Sunday Brunch
We were recently invited to attend the soft opening of The Venue at Brix27’s Sunday brunch. This newly renovated space will be used for different events, but they will be hosting all-you-can-eat Sunday brunches, a much-needed activity for our area. Rather than driving out of state to find a state-of-the-art brunch spot, we can enjoy […]
Sclafani’s NY Bagels
In preparation for the snow event this past weekend, my family stopped in at Sclafani’s NY Bagels in Kernstown, VA (one exit past Winchester on I-81 South) to get some bagels to enjoy over the next few days. Sclafani’s has the feel of a traditional NY bagel shop, with plenty of flavors of bagels and […]
The Pub
One of the biggest hidden gems in the Eastern Panhandle is The Pub, located on Route 11 between the VA border and Inwood. This nondescript hole in the wall has really good food and a lot of charm on the inside. Don’t let the exterior fool you – this spot is very clean and well […]
Mountaineer Meat Smokers
We recently learned through a recommendation from our Eastern Panhandle Foodies group on Facebook that a local barbecue restaurant serves breakfast. This is one of our favorite spots in the area, so we were excited to try something new there! Their breakfast menu was impressive; they offer everything from breakfast sandwiches, burritos, omelets, as well […]
Granny’s
One of our go-to breakfast spots in Winchester is Granny’s. Owned by a family friend, this little hole in the wall is one of the best restaurants in Frederick County. We have been for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but they are most known for their delicious breakfasts. Last weekend, we had a chance to go […]
Food Bash
Last weekend, Robbie and I got to go on a rare date without our little one, and we found a major hidden gem in the Winchester area. To be honest, we had never heard of Food Bash until we found it online. The reviews were sterling, so we decided to go here for a nice […]
