Rivertown Café in Marlinton, West Virginia, is a cozy eatery located at 309 8th Street in the historic C.J. Richardson Hardware building. The space retains the charm of its hardware-store past, with original wood shelving, high ceilings, and a welcoming atmosphere complete with couches, a fireplace, and a free library corner. The menu features fresh, creatively prepared sandwiches like chicken salad, shrimp burgers, and pulled-chicken barbecue, often served with popcorn or plantain chips, along with global-inspired weekly specials. Homemade baked goods include cookies, mini cheesecakes, and flan that are all local favorites, and the coffee is roasted nearby in Hillsboro. I enjoyed an opossum sugar cookie and their Bagels and Lox - Toasted Bagel with Butter or Cream Cheese, Smoked Salmon, Capers, and Red Onions. This was flavorful, with silky salmon and tangy cream cheese, though the bagel is a bit too toasted, adding more crunch than ideal. Grade: B
