Why it matters: The shop will serve up coffee and tea on the ground floor and hourly cat snuggles in the space above. The big picture: Purrfect Bean is set to open in April at 214 N. Lombardy St., owner Michelle Langham tells Axios. The all-vegan and sober space will feature coffee from Afterglow Coffee Cooperative and tea from The Spice & Tea Exchange of Richmond, both local shops. For the upstairs space, Purrfect's felines will all be adoptable kitties from local shelters who will very much be in need of some human attention. The spot will be Richmond's first cat cafe since Central Purrk closed its Shockoe Bottom space in 2019. What's next: Renovations of the Fan space are underway and locals can follow the progress along on the cafe's Instagram.
