The Coffee Thief -- Damascus, VA
The Coffee Thief is such a cute little gem in downtown Damascus! This family-owned spot has a warm, welcoming feel, and the attention to detail throughout the space really stood out to me.
I'm picky about coffee, and their 1/2-sweet salted caramel cappuccino was excellent. And if you're picky about cookies like I am, don't skip the chocolate chip cookie--it was really good.
They have a great selection of coffee flavors, plus chai, hot chocolate, ice cream, and rotating baked goods. There's indoor and outdoor seating, and I loved all the little touches: a build-your-own granola bar, school-supply giveaway, art supplies for kids, and chalkboards where customers can get creative.
The two young ladies working when we visited were genuinely pleasant and welcoming, too.
And can we talk about that raccoon logo and the name "The Coffee Thief"?! Adorable.
If you're visiting Damascus, stop in, grab a coffee, and support this local family-owned business. It's exactly the kind of charming little place worth seeking out--and worth helping thrive as this community continues to recover. read more
