First time here and we will be back. Ice cream was fantastic! Its a neat shop. The bookstore has a nice variety. Also a surprising large selection of candy. We got some taffy and was very fresh. The ice choices are amazing and was super hard to choose. Will absolutely be back to try more flavors. Only negative I can say is that parking was very limited and a small eating area.

I took my toddler here last Saturday evening. The sundae was great! My little guy loves to read, so we were looking at the kids books. It was so nostalgic seeing the classics I grew up loving like Clifford & Arthur. I also want to mention your great staff. My little guy was enjoying his ring pop and wanted to go see the books. One of the staff made a comment about not taking any candy down there so the books don't get all sticky and gross. Which I was glad she said that because I didn't even think about it, but given how messy toddlers are, it is so true. All of the staff were very sweet!

Oh my goodness. This place is my happy place. I love visiting for a sweet scoop and then browsing the books— ice cream and books??? Two of my very favorite things?? IN ONE SHOP??? Consider me incredibly bedazzled, in the best way possible. A local treasure, and a lovely place to bring a friend for a scoop and a good chat. Also a fabulous place to explore on your own on a solo adventure. Also a WONDERFUL place to go on a date, particularly if said date is remotely bookish. The ice cream flavors are varied and excellent, ranging from classic chocolate and vanilla to flavors such as “exhausted parent” (coffee, bourbon, and dark chocolate), my personal favorite. And the book selection is also wonderful, with a considerably big assortment of books neatly fitted into a relatively small area. It’s incredible!! If you discover no other local shops in Weirton other than this place, then you have won the lottery my friend! Please do yourself a favor and visit! 5 out of 5 stars!!

Love Prime's great selection of ice cream! My favorite ice cream place!! Love the atmosphere with tables and chairs, walls of candy even from my childhood days. Even rows of books to choose from. The best!!
