About the Café
Biscuits & Beans isn’t your average café. We’re a welcoming community space where locally roasted coffee, dozens of thoughtfully crafted drinks, fresh-baked goods, and adoptable cats come together at this cat café in the heart of Winchester, VA.
Here’s what makes us different:
- No-Tips, Just Tails: Kindness shouldn’t cost extra. Our prices are fair, our team is paid well, and we never ask for tips. Instead, we invite you to support local cat rescue through our Just Tails Foundation for Cat Care, an approach we explain more fully on our About Us page.
- Cozy Atmosphere: Located on Winchester’s historic Loudoun Street Mall, our café is a warm, comfortable place to work, meet friends, or enjoy a quiet moment with great coffee and some yummy nosh, with a simple overview of what to expect available on How It Works.
- Cat Care: Our lounge offers rescue cats a calm, thoughtfully designed space where they can relax, socialize, and be seen. Feline wellbeing guides everything we do.
Come for the delicious biscuits & the roasted beans. Stay for the cats. Leave knowing you made a difference.
Eat. Drink. Book. And maybe adopt your newest best friend.
