This setting is so charming. Right in the heart of downtown Purcellville, a cute cafe with the chance to sit down, stay a while and get some work done in a quiet, friendly setting. Pegboard walls remind you that you are a part of the practical hardware store, but holiday decor (paper valentine's banners) over the fireplace mantle invite you to feel at home. Yums from local bakeries, a generous tea selection and plenty of sandwiches, paninis, subs and breakfast sandwiches, so you can confirm that your eyes are bigger than your belly. Chai tea latte was just perfect.

Biked to Purcellville from Alexandria and this is the perfect place to fuel up for the ride back! Great sandwiches at great prices along with a varied selection of drinks and chips. Free water available as well. If you happen to forget a lock like me, the bike rack in front allows you to keep an eye on your bike while eating. Or get your sandwich to go and sit on some of the benches at the W&OD trailhead.

This is really a small deli or sandwich shop. It's not a big selection but the food is food and the place is nice and clean with seating inside the coolest old hardware store that's a local treasure. Go and support them so that Ace Hardware doesn't run them out of business.

I believe his name is Danny, who runs the counter at the Cafe. He is very professional and more important friendly. He always has good suggestions for what sandwich to get and the food is so fresh. It's a nice place to come and relax for a bit!

Stopped in on a Monday (they were open, yay) for the first time and ordered an Italian sandwich. A nice young lady took my order and made a great meal! Thank you, I’ll be back:)
