Grape + Bean

Grape + Bean opened February 9th, 2008, and is an independent, locally owned business created by long-time Alexandria residents David Gwathmey and Sheera Rosenfeld. Grape + Bean, a specialty beverage and food retail boutique, is located in the heart of Old Town Alexandria, steps from Market Square, City Hall, and the newly renovated Hotel Monaco. Our focus is on high quality wines, single-origin eco-friendly whole bean coffees, and custom brewed coffee, serving Old Town residents and visitors alike. We offer hand made breads, artisanal cheeses, chocolates, and other gourmet items as well as high quality glassware, wine supplies, and coffee brewing equipment to meet your consumption needs. Our Wine Bar will be opening up later this summer.

Grape + Bean's mission is to encourage and expand the appreciation of these products through education, experimentation, and excellent service all in a comfortable, friendly environment. Grape + Bean has a sophisticated yet comfortable feel to it with its original heart pine floors, exposed brick walls (building is circa 1850), outside seating, and a welcoming tasting bar where patrons will be encouraged to taste something new (wine, coffee, chocolate, etc.) on each visit.
