Ellen's Homemade Ice Cream 225 Capitol Street, Charleston, WV 25301

"Ellen's serves some of the best ice cream I've ever had the pleasure of tasting. The store is so cute and welcoming, plus the staff was very kind and patient. I highly recommend the black raspberry ice cream-- it's absolutely dreamy!"

"Great ice cream, quick and friendly service. The business' environment is very warm and welcoming with seating both inside and outside."

"Lovely flavors, cheery space, and smiling staff made my first visit a pleasure. I enjoyed a scoop of butter pecan (creamy, lightly sweet, with enough pecans for some in every bite) and a perfectly balanced Guinness scoop (Guinness was present in the background, not full-forward, and there was no slightly sour aftertaste of beer - a nice change from other experiences with Guiness-based ice cream). A suggestion, add some dark chocolate covered mini pretzels to that Guiness and it would be stellar! While expensive, the ice cream is made on site and the quality is worth it. Plus, the experience Ellen has created with the lovely shop is sure to have you enjoying your visit. I'll certainly be back."

"Ellen's is a staple of Capital Street in Charleston. They have great ice cream with excellent flavors, and other items to enjoy as well. Any of their flavors can be done as a milkshake, a cone, a cup, pretty much however you want it. They also have some of their more popular flavors pre-packaged and ready to go in quart or pint sizes. If you don't go often, give their featured or seasonal flavors a try (like the Chocolate Grand Marnier), you'll be sure to enjoy them."
