Widow's Brew Coffee Shop
415 E Riverside Dr, Clarksville, IN
Crema's Take
“Widow's Brew is a beloved riverside gem where owner Jill's infectious warmth sets the tone for a genuinely welcoming experience, complete with stunning Ohio River views that shift from serene during the day to absolutely spectacular at sunset. The shop specializes in classic coffee drinks paired with an impressive rotating selection of homemade sweet treats and light fare, making it the kind of place where locals linger for hours rather than rush through. Whether you're catching up with friends on their outdoor patio or stealing a quiet moment to watch the Louisville skyline, this is community-driven coffee done right.”

This place is very tasty. They sell canned big reds for $1.25 but do not offer ice. The owner is always a big ball of sunshine. She’s so friendly. You better hurry up and get some ice cream before for it melts. This ice cream shop was featured in a movie. (Keep Your Distance) Check out the Trailer out on You Tube! Gill Bellows (Shawshank Redemption) Kim Raver (Grey’s Anatomy) Stacy Keach and many more talented people! Really a good stalker flick! Get a Big Red float they are the bomb!!!!
Love this place! Jill and her team do a wonderful job of making sure everyone is happy! Jill offers a wide variety of sweet treats and we've never been disappointed in the variety! Now that it's fall we had to try the pumpkin ice cream and it was amazing! If you haven't already checked out the widows walk ice cream, you need too!!!
We had an awful experience with the Owner at this ice cream shop, and after reading the reviews, she does seem to be the problem at this establishment Almost EVERY 1 star review is for her ridiculous behavior. The owner was exasperated because she had to call our number and we did not hear her. She loudly said snarky things about us to the other patrons (a 20-something couple, a middle aged man, and a family of 6) as we walked up to get our dessert. An absolute worst nightmare experience for someone with anxiety. We had chosen to sit at the only shady table which happened to be by the road because the nice, shaded patio area was off-limits to patrons which may be why my husband (who is HOH dx) could not hear her. I am not HOH, nor was I looking at a phone, but I did only hear her call our number twice; the second time (which was immediately after the first, there was barely a pause between), I alerted my husband because he had not heard her. There were many stray cats being fed by the staff while patrons were dining which I can't imagine is allowed by the Health Department. Very unsanitary. I absolutely love animals, but you can't run a food shop and feed critters next to it. We won’t be back.
Want to enjoy a scenic amazing view of the Ohio River with the City of Louisville in the background? This is the place. Beautiful during the day, and spectacular during sunset. Peaceful and relaxing watching the night lights come on across downtown Louisville. Make sure to stop and get a photo with Rosie. Plenty of parking and plenty of seating. Great ice cream and great friendly service. A riverfront staple for sourthern Indiana. Just try it once and you will agree!!!
Such a fun and cute ice cream shop! My first time going there, their building was under construction, but they were still taking orders outside. I’m excited to see how it all turns out! I ordered a scoop of cookies n’ cream and strawberry cheesecake (I couldn’t choose between the two…) and both were delicious! They have a great location right by the river, so we got to hangout for a bit at a table nearby. My husband ordered a specialty shake that he LOVED! It had peanut butter, banana, and chocolate. Our friends ordered the Superman ice cream and a strawberry cheesecake shake. You can never go wrong with ice cream, but this place might just be one of my new favorite spots!
