Some time ago, I saw a page named "The Come Thru Kitchen" pop up on Facebook.



After asking a few friends if they had ever been there, I discovered it's a new pop-up that didn't have an official location.



Essentially, it's available at the kitchen of the owner, and you can keep an eye on Facebook to see what they're serving that day.



The Come Thru Kitchen is aptly name - literally come through for a bite.

But, I saw recently they did a vendor fair where they served from the kitchen. This seemed like the perfect option since I don't know the owners and thought it might be strange rolling up to their house.

They served up buffalo chicken dip, fried fish sandwiches, lasagna, and Italian meatballs with cheese. Sides included macaroni & cheese, candied yams, greens and more. Plus desserts like banana pudding.

Soul food is my favorite, and I haven't had sweet macaroni and cheese since the time I judged a cookoff - and I missed it so!

I've been to Foam at the Dome before - the first year, actually. This year marked the third annual festival. It was super hot, but fun as always. And check out these eggrolls from Eggs Will Roll. 

Barista's Cafe and Pub is a unique coffee shop in downtown New Martinsville that boasts bold color, tasty java and a relaxing environment.

The decor is a mash-up of local art, eclectic seating and neat gifts.

The drinks include espresso, coffee, tea and smoothies. Food items for lunch & dinner include sandwiches, soups and salads. On weekends, there's pizza.


I ordered the Creme de Caramel, which says it's the best-selling specialty drink. It has white mocha, caramel and vanilla.

For breakfast, they bagels available. I ordered an asiago bagel and cream cheese.

One brand new coffee shop, Quantum Bean Coffee, has opened up in the South Park/Greenmont neighborhood of Morgantown.

These folks have been producing coffee for some time now, but their shop is new.

Quantum Bean Coffee is a Micro Roaster of specialty coffee in the hills of West Virginia. We are focused on bringing the freshest and finest specialty coffee to the area. We take great care in sourcing our coffees responsibly and building relationships with the farmers of our coffees.

Lots of locally crafted artwork and jewelry are available in the shop. How cool is that?

I ordered an Americano with a shot of caramel.

Food trucks are always super exciting to me, and a new one serving up pho and banh mi has entered the Morgantown scene.

3-0-PHO to Go is such a clever name, and they are finding their way all over town.

The combos are a good way to try a few different items. I ordered "The Pho Sho," which is half a banh mi and a small pho plus a water.

It gets all packaged up and ready to go. Pho plus sauces & lime.


And banh mi!
