West Coast style coffee shop meets quaint Winchester, Virginia ☕️ Stay in the car or park and walk up to the window! Choose from various flavors of coffee, smoothies, chia and matcha. Energize with peanut butter bites, or satisfy your sweet tooth with a walking waffle. Mornings like today just got a little less sleepy 💫

"Walking through Winchester and came across this cafe. It had good reviews so gave it a try. The bacon sandwich was tasteless and the bread stale. The american pancakes were heavy not light and fluffy and the maple syrup tasted synthetic. Not a good choice in the end."

Paul O'Connell

"This little cafe near Winchester Cathedral surprised me. It has a few things going for it: Chilled ambience, intimate and compact settings, and prompt low-key service.

I ordered the breakfast omelette - containing bacon, sausage, and tomatoes wrapped in an omlette purse. It was sumptuous and substantial, just about moist, without being soggy. Iced mocha is impeccably made.

The cafe doesn't try to be fancy, just the basics made well. Love it. ❤️"

Cafe Monde has an ideal location and with plenty of outside seating, it’s hard to resist. The sun doesn’t actually reach Cafe Monde until about midday but thanks to their ingenious policy of serving breakfast all day, you can still enjoy a sunny brunch (or whatever breakfast at 2pm is called)!
