So, I recently went to Preston County to check out the zoo -- that's right, West Virginia has a zoo. And while in the area, Brittany and I decided to head into downtown Kingwood to grab a bite at the Brew Ha Ha.

Side note: It also happened to be the same day that the stores were doing a sort of trick-or-treat, so we got to see lots of kids dressed up as superheroes or princesses as we enjoyed our meal. Super cute.

This cafe is cozy and bright with a good bit of seating and some tasty drink and food options. The menu options encompass a little bit of everything - from egg rolls and chips & salsa to a pancake platter and grilled cheese sandwiches.



So, I got their "Ultimate" Grilled Cheese, which is muenster cheese and garlic aioli piled with crispy bacon and French-fried onions on thick slices of grilled toast.

For a drink, I went with a "brewlatte," which is frozen and blended fresh brewed coffee. I added a salted caramel flavor shot.


We'd only waited for a just a little bit -- taking in the cool vibe and bustling environment -- before our meals came out.

Let's start with the drink - if you want to feel like you're drinking a milkshake that gives you some extra energy, this is it. Simple, but good.


So, my grilled cheese, with a side of pasta salad, was pretty good! It was pretty dense and savory. I think just a touch of something sweet -- like honey fried onions or something would help break that up. But, still, very tasty.

Between good snacks and drinks and wonderful service, this is a great little place.

They even partner with the local brewing company, Screech Owl Brewing for some fun merchandise.

Have you ever been? What's your favorite thing?
