The Purrfect Bean
Richmond, Virginia
The Purrfect Bean is a vegan cafe with an upstairs cat lounge on North Lombardy Street in the Fan District of Richmond, in the former Westray's Finest Ice Cream building. The ground-floor cafe serves coffee, matcha, seasonal lattes, lemonades and plant-based food, and anyone can walk in for a drink without a reservation. The cat lounge upstairs is booked online for 50-minute sessions, charged per person, with higher prices on weekends and a cheaper happy-hour slot. It holds up to 10 people at a time. Children under 4 are not admitted, and visitors under 18 need an adult, with at least one adult for every three children. The cats and kittens come from Purring Hearts VA, a volunteer-run foster rescue that pulls cats from Richmond-area shelters, and they can be adopted through the rescue. The lounge is not wheelchair accessible, although the cafe is.
