The Village Coffee Shoppe

This was one of the most pleasant, unexpected surprises I have ever had while on a long road trip. Originally, we saw the sign on the highway for this coffee shop, and we planned to make a stop to grab some coffees for the road. Little did we know we would be quickly transported into the most strikingly cozy, spacious and family-friendly Café in all Virginia. We decided to order lunch and coffee. The sandwiches were simple for their collective ingredients, yet succulent and unpretentious - both hearty and light at the same time. You could tell the coffees were roasted superbly and mixed with an abundance of care, as even the level of sugar was only just enough to excite, but not too much steal the focus away from the masterfully concocted mixture of flavors, coffee and creamers. Our server Jada provided an incomparably hospitable service and made us laugh many times over the course of our quick meal. The dispersement of cute little markets for souvenirs and goodies only further contributed to the unified character and Southern charm that this breathtaking shop offered. I can't wait for my next visit, and implore any travelers to make a quick stop for themselves so they can truly understand this unexpected, enveloping warmth that can only be felt at Draper Mercantile.

We loved this place so much! It was cute and the food and coffee was top tier! The price was very cheap aswell!

Super nice spot off the highway! I got their lavender latte and it was the best I have ever had. They have a tea garden shop right next door that is really nice as well. Definitely try it out!!

Nice restaurant and shop, great food and friendly service. The farm style burger was awesome! Thank you from your Arizona friends 😎😇🪑

This was the best place ever. Everyone there goes above and beyond to make one happy. This is definitely a place to add on road trips. Love love love ❤️

Nice place, met a friend for coffee. Staff was wonderful and knowledgeable.

Good food, great coffee, friendly charming staff… Desperately wish this was on my regular route.

If you're on a little roadtrip and want to stop somewhere cool/local/yummy, I think this is the spot. The coffee was great, the pimento cheese sandwich w avocado + tomato/basil soup was AMAZING, and there's lots of neat stuff to look at on the inside (my husband got me a nice little bar of organic oatmeal soap). Kind folks and thoughtfully chosen products, would definitely stop here again.

Cool place with delicious drinks and muffins! Stopped by here on a whim as I was driving from NC to VA and wanted to find somewhere local for a pick-me-up. Really nice atmosphere, tons of seating, great service!

Very tasty they’ve got dairy-free options sugar-free options, caffeine free options you’re probably wondering why I even drink coffee right?
