Since 2019, Ellen’s Café has been a warm and welcoming spot in Leesburg, thanks to the love and dedication of Ellen Bruce and her husband, John. Ellen’s recent and unexpected passing has left a huge hole in the hearts of her family, friends, and the many customers who considered her café a second home. The café has always been more than just a place to eat—it’s been a gathering place for neighbors, friends, and anyone in need of a friendly face or a comforting meal.

Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a real difference in helping John keep Ellen’s dream alive and continue serving the community she loved so much.

Please consider supporting John and Ellen’s Café during this difficult time. Your generosity will help preserve a beloved local business and honor Ellen’s memory in the best way possible—by keeping her light shining in the heart of Leesburg.
