How cute is the name Battle Grounds for a coffee shop? Especially in a historic town like Harpers Ferry!



And look at this great outdoor dining.



They serve coffee drinks, as well as some food items.



It was a very early lunch, so I went with a sandwich.



I ordered the Shenandoah, which came with ham, provolone, spinach, red onions, and black raspberry preserves. I'm a sucker for sweet and savory.



Look at that! What's your favorite item?

If you like candy, True Treats in Harpers Ferry needs to be at the top of your must-visit list.



It's more than just a store.



It's like a museum of candy throughout the years.



The candy is arranged by time period - with everything from bugs to turkish delight.



Those hard-to-find favorites? You can get it all here.



And even candy that's mythical! Like Turkish Delight. And, yes, I had to try some.



It's almost like West Virginia's version of Willy Wonka will all the brightly colored treats.



This would be a fun idea to make a gift of a certain time period full of candy for someone.



Literally everything!







Have you been?

Coffee is key in any city.



In Harpers Ferry, the go-to coffee shop is The Coffee Mill.



They have a variety of coffee drinks, as well as menu items like salads and sandwiches.



I went for a turtle mocha.



It is made with espresso, steamed milk, chocolate and hazelnut.



And - some shots from Harpers Ferry!

Betty's Restaurant is known for its sausage gravy.



This Shepherdstown breakfast restaurant is cash only, which has prohibited me in the past from checking it out. Until now.



So I had to try the biscuit & sausage gravy. And I also got a pancake - just one! - to balance out the sweet and the savory.



Something about this homestyle meal just makes it so comforting.



What's your favorite dish here?



And, while here I was able to check out the Rumsey Monument.



And this teeny, tiny house!

Imagine this: A carnival food truck. Minus the carnival.



That's kind of what Jules is like. It's flashy and lit up, but it's all the goodness of carnival indulgence food.






So, of course I had to go with a s'mores option.
