Lots of local items throughout, from the art to the flowers to the hand-thrown cups. The pistachio cold foam cold brew and (local!) chai are my favorites.

Second Nature Coffee has quickly become my favorite spot in Leesburg, and honestly, I can't imagine…read moremy mornings without it. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels genuinely welcoming -- warm lighting, a relaxed vibe, and staff who actually seem happy to be there. The coffee is exceptional. My go-to is their latte, which is consistently smooth and perfectly balanced -- never bitter, never over-roasted. It's clear they take real care in sourcing and preparation. The espresso has great depth and the milk is steamed just right every single time. The space itself is cozy but not cramped, making it ideal whether you're catching up with a friend or settling in with your laptop for a few hours. The pastries are a lovely bonus -- fresh and worth every bite. Leesburg has no shortage of coffee options, but Second Nature stands apart. It feels like a neighborhood gem that actually cares about its community and its craft. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a quality cup and a genuinely good experience.

I got the vanilla latte with oatmilk and can say with confidence it's one of the best cups in NoVa. I'm almost sad I know this exists now, because I'm going to have to schlep to Leesburg way more often! We came on a holiday but it seems lime a good spot to bring a laptop and get work done. Didn't get to try food or cocktails this time, but the selection seems nice. Excited to go again!

Hopefully next time the lid will fit correctly and then our cup would spilleth over in a happier way ...

I recently visited Mocatinas in Leesburg, VA for an excellent afternoon tea with my friend and her…read moredaughter. Getting afternoon tea together has become an annual holiday tradition with this friend (and some of our other friends), so it was great to continue this tradition at Mocatinas! The cafe is somewhat small, but they still have good seating in there. We made a reservation in advance for the tea experience, and I recommend that you do so if you plan to dine in for tea. They had not yet started their holiday-themed tea, but it was fine as they had some holiday decor (a pink Christmas tree!) already set up, so it felt festive in there. For the tea, we ordered the Strawberry Champagne Oolong. Though it has "champagne" in the name, this isn't alcoholic. It was a very sweet and delicious tea. We also ordered a pot of the Earl Grey Lavender, which was also very delicious! Our afternoon tea experience came with the traditional three-tiered tea stand, with macarons, tea sandwiches (cucumber, etc.), scones, butter, jam pastries, and petit fours. Our tea also came with a pre-course dish comprised of a small grilled cheese pastry and a small tomato soup. Everything was delicious! We had an excellent experience here. Service was friendly and efficient and very attentive. I will certainly visit again!

Our baby loved looking at the lights and got to taste the red bocce balls (meatballs)! We think she liked the flavor. The bocce balls were a bit too chewy for my tastes.

We kept getting checked on by other staff as well which made it feel like we were constantly being asked things. The real problem is how long it took to get our food. Our server came over, apologized for the wait and offered us refills on our ice tea and sprite, we were then charged for the refills. Which is fine but it just felt like a weird time to offer them while apologizing for a 30+ min wait. The crab dip was delish! The burger was burnt but flavorful. The chicken and brie panini was disappointingly small and the chicken basically disintegrated as I ate it. Disappointed bc the dining room is really cool, very old school vibes. But I still wouldn't recommend going

They've got really good espresso drinks, and some house-made syrups recently added to their menu. Good matcha and fresh pastries, as well as some tea options give you plenty to choose from. House Blend whole bean coffee available to take home is very good. Parking in the town garage across the street, with a shortcut via path to the cafe if you can find it. Free WiFi and comfortable seating help make this Loudoun's best-kept secret on the cafe circuit! There's even a hidden, tree-shaded patio out back - just ask the barista. IYKYK

The sandwich was at least overflowing and the bread tasty, sort of a cheddar jalapeño bread but..something was definitely missing in the chicken. At least it was reasonably priced at $9.50 but they will nickel and dime for anything else on it. The kids menu is Expensive! For the price of a PB&J, you could buy a loaf of bread, a jar of peanut butter, and a jar of jelly and make 10 of them. I think they tried to price kids items like adult meals. It was crowded at lunch time, some inside seating, looked like more outside. Parking is in a lot nearby but can fill up. Plenty of drinks and such. Kind of an ordinary deli with comparatively good prices for adult meals when held up against other places in the area.

Walk-in's are welcome, but I wanted to ensure we could come at the time we wanted. Parking was a but limited, but available early when they opened. The shop owner was so kind and was very thorough. She was hospitable and walked us upstairs to the cat room, introducing us to the cats and telling us about each of their personalities. The cats are all rescues looking for a forever home. What a great way to introduce them to people! There were tons of toys to use to interact and play with the cats. There was a basket of combs and some really enjoyed being brushed. They had several bowls of food and water and were very well take care of. The warm cookie was delish and tea and coffee were also available. Upon leaving there are lint rollers available because cat hair is inevitable; however, the cat area was very clean and tidy! The air purifiers helped, especially because the doors couldn't be opened in the winter. There is a screened in balcony I assume can be used in better weather. My daughter loved this place and wants to go back! While the experience was a bit pricey, I know it's going toward a good cause.

We were greeted by a friendly hostess who explained how the facility works. It's $25 per person for an hour session a lounge visit, which includes a warm freshly baked cookie and a self-serve beverage. The cafe is on the first floor when you first walk in to check-in and the lounge is upstairs where the cats are housed. We decided to get our cookie and drinks on our way out so we headed upstairs where we were greeted at the door of the lounge to the sweetest, friendliest cats! The space was well-maintained, clean, cozy and decorated cute! It did not smell and we could tell the staff takes really good care of the cats and their living area to ensure they feel clean, safe, and comfortable. All of their cats at the café are available for adoption through their rescue partner Last Chance Animal Rescue. Such a great way to meet and interact with the kitties (and fall in love with all of them!) before deciding if you mesh with one and are interested in adopting. They also have a book of information on adoption details and a bulletin board that features the cats in a humorous way so you can get to know them! Overall my experience was fun and a relaxing way to spend the afternoon hanging out with cute cats! Happy to support this small woman-owned business as well :)
