Hopscotch Coffee & Records opened several years ago as a local Winchester, VA spot for artisanal coffee and roasting coffee beans. The roasting operation became Lone Oak Coffee Company and is located elsewhere in Winchester. Lone Oak continues to supply coffee beans to Hopscotch.
Ordering is to the left after getting through the front door with a quiet area farther down the narrow hall. The LPs and music are downstairs in a large room with a vintage pioneer receiver and speakers – kudos for the warm musical notes these period receivers can deliver – and there are large pockets of records racked up in several spots for viewing. Some of the vintage vinyl – jazz, blues, 80s rock, country – is for sale.
Overall, Hopscotch has a gently worn-in mid-century feel, which makes spending time here comfortable and relaxing. There are tables and chairs outside for days when the weather is good or at least sunny. In addition to their coffee drinks and bags of beans for sale, they do have a small selection of baked goods on offer – cookies, muffins, pastry – from a local bakery.
On my first visit, I ordered a mocha and it delivered on the promise of smoothly integrated chocolate and coffee flavors all the way through the cup. Given the freshness of the beans – Hopscotch’s house blend – I could easily taste distinctive berry flavors along with some faint herbal-like notes. The barista did a nice job with the latte artwork too. I had to do without any baked edibles on this visit as a local school group wiped them out of everything 20 minutes before I arrived. Such are the risks out on the road.
I headed downstairs to look around and enjoy the mood on what was a chilly, wet day. A few other patrons were present chatting, doing a bit of work, or listening to what was playing – which was at the right volume. There’s a pinball machine in one corner and they’ve got a variety of mixed media artwork on one two story wall and some additional work hanging from the ceiling.
On my second visit, this time while evaluating the Scrambler Ducati 1100 Special, I ordered a cappuccino and coconut macaroon cookie. There was a line, so I chatted with a few folks about the Scrambler while we waited for our barista to whip up our drinks. As it was sunny, I opted to sit outside at one of two metal tables under an awning. As on my previous visit, my mug had attractive looking artwork which melded nicely with the coffee below. Once again, the house blend emphasized berry flavors and herbal notes. The macaroon was crunchy on the outside, with a softer, chewy interior. The cookie was a good companion to my cappuccino.
The single staff member on my first visit was welcoming and knew everyone by name. Like the shop itself and its patrons ahead of me, he was relaxed at his craft serving each customer as they ordered and paid for their caffeine laced concoction. On my second visit, the experience was exactly the same with a barista who enjoyed working the machine and spinning some latte art with a bit of milk or cream.
Should your journeys send you through Winchester, VA – and there’s plenty to do in this area of Virginia – a stop off at Hopscotch Coffee & Records will keep you topped up with caffeine, vintage music, and cookies – assuming a squadron of kids has not gotten to them first.
