Coffee on Main is a fairly new coffee shop in Beckley that not only offers coffee, but also pastries, sandwiches and more. 



Unfortunately, they will be closing their doors so I wanted to make sure I share my lovely experience here. 



The inside is cozy and a bit rustic. I started with an iced coffee with caramel. I didn't see any real specialty creations, so I kept it simple. And, it was good! 



And a good blueberry muffin is one of my weaknesses, so when I saw it, I knew it was coming home with me. 



This, too, was tasty. I love when it has that sugared top that gives some texture, but this was straight-forward and good.



Nothing too crazy, nothing out of the norm. But solid and satisfying.

The Capitol Market held its inaugural Merry Market Mingle recently, and it was an end-of-the-year celebration to enjoy all things holiday and local business related.



There were roving carolers, a little gift bag with jam, a wooden bookmark and Holl's chocolate sucker.



Plus, there was a lovely. spread of cheeses, fruits, veggies, sushi and more. 



If you didn't make it this year, be sure to check out the next one! 

Table 304 in Wheeling makes charcuterie boards of all types.



What does that look like? A hot chocolate box full of marshmallows, Hershey kisses and peppermint stirring spoons. Or, it could be a grazing cup, which is a portable cup with a meat, cheese and veggies.



In my case, I ordered a grazing box to serve as an appetizer for my family. It had this wonderful jarlsberg cheese spread that I could eat by the spoonful. Plus, some strawberries, peppers, blueberries, blackberries, olives, salami, hard cheese, soft cheese, pepitas and nice crackers. Plus a few sweets. Some nice quality ingredients in here with just the perfect amount.

Let's take a quick trip to the most southern Gino's location in West Virginia. At this point, I've either been exposed to Gino's enough that I enjoy it, or it's just pretty decent. 



Either way, I went with a deluxe pizza, which has pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, green peppers, banana peppers, green olives and onions. I've also realized how much I liked this combo as an adult. As a kid, never. But all of the flavors together are pretty good. This one was a bit heavy on the green olives - which I like - but it was the dominant flavor.
