They had premade foods like soups, salads, bakery items to grab and go. But we want to try the breakfast sandwiches which were only available until 10:30am so we got lucky. We got 3 breakfast sandwiches and they were all great! All little pricey for breakfast but everything was fresh and totally worth it. Staff was super nice too.

Service was fast and friendly. I'll definitely be back again tomorrow! Update: Great experience again at Expresso Alley! I went back again today and got the cutest bucket of coffee along with an adorable shamrock cup. I tried the Irish cream, toffee nut, and brown sugar coffees, and all of them were amazing. The flavors were rich and perfectly balanced. Everything was made quickly and the presentation was so fun. Definitely a place I'll keep coming back to!

This ice cream and coffee shop is easy to miss situated in a corner between the biggest grocery…read morestore for miles and a large gift shop just across Rt 219 from Wisp Ski Resort. You do have multiple ice cream options in the McHenry and Deep Creek Lake area, but Bear Creek has a couple distinct advantages. First, it is open year around, something the ones lakeside are typically not. Second, it is not usually overrun with lines out the door as some of those lakeside ones are (and there is a time and place for those as the view overtop the lake is good fun as well). The selection of ice cream is more than ample and the prices don't break the bank like many tourist-centered locations can do. And over the course of at least five visits across multiple years, I have never experienced slow, grumpy, or impatient service. Any frustration here is likely to come from other patrons rather than those behind the counter. And fair enough, it is the first time visiting for the tourists who often make up the clientele. There can also be big intergenerational groups where getting all the orders organized in a timely manner can be a challenge. But honestly, hopefully you are on vacation as well so where do you really need to be? There are a few tables inside and out so take a load off if you need to. And enjoy that tasty jolt of sugar or caffeine!

I stopped in & sampled the hoppier of the 2 IPA's they had on tap & enjoyed it. Friendly bartender. View of lake through back windows. TVs & couches. Not a big place & no food, but decent beer selection on tap & I think seltzers in cooler. They had 4 picnic tables out front. It's located on a plaza along road so kinda busy area, and parking can get crowded with other shops & restaurants. If you like brew pubs, I'd definitely stop. Dog friendly on patio, no dogs allowed inside per county rules.
