7 Best Places for Iced Coffee in West Virginia
From Charleston to Morgantown, West Virginia’s cozy coffee shops are whipping up a mean cup of iced coffee. It doesn’t matter what the temperature is like, sometimes an iced coffee is just the kind of refreshing, start-the-day beverage you need. Here are our favorite spots to grab a cup.
The Chocolate Moose, Beckley, WV
Fresh roasted coffee in mild, medium, or dark blends, lattes with or without whipped cream, caramel, or chocolate topping, and delicious cold fruity smoothies. That’s what you can expect at The Chocolate Moose in Beckley. It’s a very inviting place with its antique furniture and inviting fireplace. If you feel like adding a little thrill to your visit, try the Outside In Climbing Gym and Mountain State Miniature Golf course when you’re there. It’s fun for the whole family!
Joe N’Throw, Fairmont, WV
A potter and a coffee roaster walked into a beard competition may sound like the start of a great story, and it would be completely true. It also accurately describes the beginning of Joe N’Throw, a unique coffee shop and pottery studio in the heart of Fairmont. But it will take a visit to see the true vision of what this place is and the commitment to community, the arts, and a good cup of coffee.

The fresh brewed coffee aroma says it all. This is a must stop anytime you’re in Wheeling. They have a nice selection of blended ice drink mixes, too, so you can make your favorite at home.
The Black Dog Coffee Company, Shenandoah Junction, WV
Great coffee starts with a fresh bean, and that’s the secret behind the success of The Black Dog Coffee Company in Shenandoah Valley. One taste and you’ll understand the difference. Another secret is that the length of the roasting time and subtle flavor combinations added by the coffee craftsmen here create a delicious hot or cold drink that will satisfy the most discriminating palate.

Thomas, West Virginia may be a small town in the northern panhandle of the Mountain State, but it’s got one of the best little coffee shops around.
