Ice cream, ice cream! We all scream for ice cream! At Tamarack Marketplace, we are proud to be one of three locations in the state serving Ellen’s Homemade Ice Cream. Every icy treat, from creamy ice creams and smooth gelatos to refreshing sorbets and sherbets, is crafted in-house right in West Virginia. It’s one more reason we’re proud to share this beloved local favorite with our guests. 

Ellen’s Homemade Ice Cream is located at 225 Capitol St in Charleston, West Virginia.

A beloved West Virginia favorite, Ellen’s has been serving up sweet treats in downtown Charleston since September 1997. For nearly three decades, the shop has become known for its handcrafted ice cream, welcoming atmosphere, and dedication to making every treat with love and care.  

In April 2022, founder Ellen passed the scoop to a new team dedicated to carrying on her legacy. Husband-and-wife duo Aaron and Marie Clark, alongside award-winning Chef Paul Smith, stepped in with a shared passion for artisanal ice cream and a commitment to preserving everything that makes Ellen’s so special! 

At Tamarack Marketplace, we’re thrilled to share this true staple of the Capital City not only with Beckley locals but also the thousands of travelers passing through our doors each and every year. Whether you’re enjoying a scoop after lunch, cooling off during a long road trip, or stopping in just to grab a treat, a bit of ice cream is always the perfect way to make your day a little sweeter. 

With 12 rotating flavors available all year long, there’s always a delicious reason to stop by for a scoop of Ellen’s Homemade Ice Cream. Enjoy it in a cup, a classic cake cone, or a crispy waffle cone. The hardest part is deciding which flavor to try next!
