Date Visited: 15 August 2015
Meal: Breakfast
Diners: Me & Wendy
Experience: Looking for an alternative to your tired old corporate chain coffee shop? Check out Trinity House Cafe! From their Mission statement: “Trinity House Café, on the corner of Church and Market Streets in the heart of historic Leesburg, VA, is an outreach of the John Paul II Fellowship, a Christian non-profit dedicated to renewing community and culture.”
On this visit, I ordered the Notre Dame breakfast (“warm croissant with butter & jam, seasonal fruits & yogurt”) and a regular coffee. The croissant (baked there) was as one should be, light and flaky. The fruit was a cup of grapes, and the yogurt was vanilla. A nicely balanced array of flavors. Wendy ordered the Breakfast Sandwich (“mini omelet with cheddar cheese in a toasted bagel”) and added a slice of ham. She also tried the C.S. Lewis Latte (“Earl Grey tea, steamed milk, cardamom, almond syrup”). Unique!
Trinity House Cafe is about more than just food. It’s about hospitality, and they host “a variety of community and culture-renewing events such as art classes, talks, concerts, theatrical performances, movie nights, craft circles, and children’s programs.” The cafe occupies the George Head House, a building from Revolutionary times, listed on the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Leesburg Historic District. Trinity House Cafe is a warm, cozy, relaxing, inviting place to spend time with good food, good friends, and/or good books! Come on in and support a local business!

I hope to see more restaurant reviews soon! :)
Do you ever say anything negative about a restaurant? It seems like you just like them all which makes this otherwise wonderful site pretty useless when trying to decide where to go. I've lived here for 30+ years and I know all the restaurants aren't great :)
Anonymous: I'm sorry you're unhappy that I am not more critical. I try to find something to like everywhere we visit and enjoy the experience. I'm not interested in destroying any restaurant's reputation if I happen to not like it so much. However, I guess you didn't read my review of Sbarro, it's deservedly negative.
If you've had less-than-satisfactory experiences at the restaurants I've reviewed, please go ahead and put something in the comments.
Thanks for reading.
