Our Story

Welcome to The Kaffee Klatsch, and thank you for visiting! We are a family owned small business coffee shop located in Dayton, Virginia. Here is a little about our family and how we came to own a coffee shop.

In 1998,  Norwood, Shirley, Beth and Brenda purchased a shop formally known as Stone Valley Gourmet which specialized in desserts with coffee. The desserts were dropped, and it became The Kaffee Klatsch, a family owned and operated coffee shop. Six years later,  Maggie, a younger sister also became one of the owners. Through the past 25 years the sisters have raised families while still being involved behind the scenes. 

Current day brings the sisters all back to the shop being more hands on since they no longer have small children. Shirley is the baker of the crew and fills the small dessert case with perfectly baked scones and cookies. Norwood has recently retired and claims the job of quality control. 🙂

In the shop you will find espresso drinks, brewed coffee, and many more drink options to fit your taste. We also have an assortment of coffee beans. Browse our selection in our online shop or if you are in the area we would love for you to stop in and find us in person! Bring a friend along to catch up with over a cup of coffee in our recent additon of booths in the Kaffee Klatsch Corner.
