For those visiting Bridgeport who have already sampled the city's fare or those who are residents of the city and beyond looking for a trip for a new culinary experience, here's the latest edition of WBOY's Restaurant Road Trip. And this one, which is just over a year old, is minutes away in downtown Clarksburg.

Stonewall Jackson is a key figure in the history of West Virginia, and you'll find his likeness in many locations. But these days, you can find him at a popular coffee shop bearing his name.
It's a family-run business in the heart of downtown Clarksburg. The two youngest Zakariasen boys each serve the role of barista. Their older 
brother is an artist in his own right, designing a portrait of Jackson using only pennies.

"It's eight different shades of pennies he used to make the portrait - 3,193 pennies, or something like that," said owner Sarah Zakariasen.
But at Stonewall Coffee, everyone is family, including the customers who make the coffee shop feel more like a home than a business.
"We have people come in every day. We know exactly what they're going to order," said Sarah.
"Our customers have just been fabulous. We get lawyers, people who have just been over at the dentist, people who have been over at the courthouse, people who are coming downtown for whatever reason," said owner Kevin Zakariasen.
There's a reason those people keep coming back: the espresso specialties.
"The number one seller is our Stonewall Mocha. That is espresso, steamed milk, caramel and white chocolate. We use Armando's Blend, which is a medium roast coffee, and we have a great coffee roaster in Columbus, Ohio," said Sarah.
