Best Sweet Treats for Rekindling Connections

Sweets are the happiest of treats to share with another. What other fare encourages playful spoon duels for a ribbon of buttery caramel or smooth dark chocolate?

In the Greenbrier Valley, these delights are a bit of an art form, with one bakery and sweets stop taking the cake. Aptly named Amy's Market, its proprietors affectionately refer to it as a “Amy's Cakes and Cones” filled with Hershey's ice cream, sugar and sparkles. Front and center, a plethora of giant cupcakes and pastries crowned with swirls of frosting. Order up two straws to share a classic strawberry milkshake, or on cooler days, a homemade warmed brownie or cookie.

Top-Rated Patio for Starry-Eyed Evenings

The Humble Tomato’s patio garden transforms each spring into a storybook setting. The restaurant’s eighteenth-century “home” stands tall against mature hemlocks, hydrangeas and hostas around the adjacent lawn. A winding path, seasonal flower beds and herb gardens—used as tinctures in house cocktails—add to the inviting ambiance of this downtown oasis. As afternoon turns to evening, twinkling café lights cast a warm glow over the diners. And the Adirondack chairs—paired in twos on the lawn—set the stage for laid-back connection over drinks and quiet conversation.
