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!

With a large order for multiple people, we had already built up to a free drink. We look forward to returning and supporting this business again when we are in the area and have told family members about it who live nearby.

When I went, it was close to St Patricks Day so they had irish inspired lattes. My only issue was somehow- not sure how - we ordered pistachio matcha latte but it was coffee?

I asked a couple questions about the menu and was immediately directed to the BLT by a woman in the kitchen. Wow I wasn't disappointed. It was sooooo good. The bread was toasted perfectly (so it didn't kill the roof of my mouth), the tomato's and lettuce were fresh, the bacon crispy, and that basil mayo. A life changing BLT if there is such a thing. A couple side notes I appreciate. Bittersweet's marketing team deserves. Ton of credit - they have some awesome swag available for purchase. Also, this is a Christian oriented cafe with bible verses, messaging, and music. Love it! And finally, check out the story about Bittersweet's roots, its commitment to addiction recovery/support, and the owner's son's story/passing. The name "Bittersweet Cafe" will take on a deeper meaning (the news articles can be found in the walls before the counter by the bathrooms). Cheers Bittersweet, thanks for having me, and God bless!

I was pleasantly surprised to see they serve Vigilante Coffee (a Maryland favorite). I grabbed a National Pike latte, a locally made cinnamon bun, and some local honey--everything tasted amazing. The only downside was a slip-up in service: it took about 10 minutes for the staff to realize someone else had walked off with my drink. They apologized and handled it fine, but it was a bit of a wait. Still a good experience and would hit the spot again if I was local.

A touch of rudeness here, a lack of warmth there, and the "no refills for regular coffee" policy felt a little stingy for a place serving simple breakfast fare. Speaking of simple -- eggs and bacon shouldn't take a small eternity, yet there we were, waiting and waiting. Overall: adorable setting, but a bit overrated.

The town itself has that perfect mountain-arts vibe--historic brick buildings, quiet streets, and a steady flow of hikers, skiers, and road-trippers--and TipTop fits right into that rhythm. The shop is cozy and unpretentious, the kind of café where the warmth from the espresso machine and the conversations around the room cut through the mountain chill. It feels local in the best way--welcoming without trying too hard. But the real highlight is the coffee. The cup I had was excellent: clean, balanced, and clearly prepared by people who care about the craft. It had the kind of clarity and sweetness that stands out, especially when you're used to road-trip coffee stops that are just "good enough." This was genuinely memorable. If you're passing through the Canaan Valley / Blackwater Falls area or chasing powder at Timberline or Canaan Valley Resort, TipTop Coffee is absolutely worth the stop. It's proof that even in a small Appalachian ski town, you can still find a cup that would hold its own in much bigger coffee cities. A mountain gem.
