Cape Charles Coffee House plus Wine at Chatham Vineyards

Today’s adventure calls for wine! 

Well, a road trip… lunch…. AND THEN... wine!

(This blog is a two-part entree! Make sure to continue on to read how our day ended!)

The sun was shining and it was such a pretty day. Wayyy to pretty to stay inside! Today I grabbed up mom and headed to Cape Charles, to a Coffee Shop, and to Chatham Vineyards!

We've ventured to Virginia's Eastern Shore before, and we always have a great time. Today however, we were heading to the quaint town of Cape Charles to check out the Cape Charles Coffee House. The Coffee House building was a bank built in 1910. Later is was a haberdashery ( I love that word!) then, it was renovated into this Coffee House. 

We were greeted by a wonderful smell of fresh brewed coffee and were offered a seat at a quaint table with fresh flowers. The ambiance of this shop transports you back to days gone by. Walls ornate with rich wood panels, moldings, and wainscoting. The center ceiling is open and exposes the second story tin ceilings and beautiful fixtures.

      

The Coffee House features breakfast, lunch and signature coffees. It was lunchtime when we arrived and we thought we'd order quickly. However, as we looked over the menu, we realized there are so many wonderful options in which to choose! Picking quickly was not an option! 

 I selected the turkey club with avocado; mom selected the chicken salad with cranberries. Both meals were delicious and  mom couldn't finish hers. Yes, I finished mine!

Their coffee station looked (and smelled) amazing. My eye kept wandering to the pastries on display nearby. After ordering lunch, I wandered over to take a few photos and a delightful lady asked if I needed any help. We chatted for a few moments then she introduced herself as the owner. Her love for the restaurant, the town and this historic building is evident. 

We spent the next ‘several minutes’ sharing pastry photos we had taken on our phones of other places (Bakers do this all the time! There is just something so beautiful about handmade breads and pastries!)

My dream has always been to open a Bakery and I'd love an old historic building with tin ceilings and charm! I am excited that Roberta found her passion and renovated this amazing building into this Coffee House! One day, maybe…we can be neighbors 😊

We left happy and full, and continued on north, to Chatham Vineyard 

🍷 Wine awaits!
