The House of Ride Nature — Restaurant in Fort Myers

This Generation is leaning further away from establishments, and making commitments to local coffee shops. The House of Ride Nature is no exception to this rule.

Upon entering, it's evident that people are the focal point of this coffeeshop. The staff are all friendly, inviting, and personable, but not fake. While here, a barista read aloud quietly from a Christian book behind the counter.

[this is more than a coffeeshop, this is a way for them to love people]

There's a skate ramp, and quiet patio outside: shaded and cool even on warm Florida days.

There's quaint, partitioned seating downstairs, Karaoke and open mike nights, Skate, Surf, and Wake churches, and Skate Lessons.

The shop boasts a large selection of apparel, including tasteful swim, surf wear for females, and minimalist men's tops and bottoms. Boards can be bought here, along with rash guards and wetsuits.

This coffeeshop boasts a rich, dark cold brew, plant-based bars, kombucha, canned seltzer waters, and a diverse coffee menu.

Free parking is also included with a purchase, a rarity in this part of Fort Myers. Buying a drink (ask about the free loyalty cards) saves on parking downtown.

Restrooms are very clean, and very well maintained, no visible soap scum in toilets, and toilet paper is constantly restocked. The bathroom is tastefully themed, although close to the counter.

For International Travelers, this closely resembles a well-run and intentional hostel (without the beds), where friends are found.

The House of Ride Nature puts people first, reaching out through various ways and joining passions with their Christ-like love, placing people first. If you are looking for a new coffeehouse to rave over, THoRN should be your...

First time visitor. Stopped in to pick up a copy of the new Pursuit Collective zine that one of my photography friends is the Senior Editor for.

Follow the signs to park in the parking lot on the right side of the building.

I parked in front of the skate park and watched the skaters for a few minutes before heading inside.

As I was admiring the great framed photos on the wall inside of the back entrance, a gentleman sitting on the couch asked me about the camera I had around my neck. An hour of conversation later I made a new photography friend 😊

I grabbed a cup of coffee which was very good and relaxed in one of the seating areas and enjoyed looking at the Pursuit Collective zine I just bought.

There’s a great vibe here and it’s a nice place to just relax and have a good cup of coffee and conversate or read.

It’s a nice skate shop with plenty of boards, gear and apparel. Outside is a small skate park that was busy with skaters riding the half pipe. As a photographer I’m always looking to take pictures. I asked the skaters if they minded if I took their pictures. They were very friendly and accommodating. I had three great conversations with three of the skaters. This a nice place with nice people doing nice things.

Will definitely stop back here for good coffee and snap some more photos of the skaters enjoying this...

Such an awesome place!

Parking: it seems like there is none from the street, but there is a huge lot behind/ on the side that is labeled and easy to find. You enter right next to the skate park.

Work environment: has a very homey feel and there are outlets near every seat so if you need to hookup a computer it’s perfect! I’m not sure if there are outlets outside but there is great seating outside too!

Coffee/food: pretty basic coffee menu (see photo). There was only oat milk as a non dairy option. The coffee did taste fresh and Great though. If there was one thing to improve it would be more food options. The only thing to choose from was a cliff bar and trail mix.

Merchandise: seems to be a lot of cool things to choose from. I didn’t take the time to look at any of it but I should have!

Mission: I love that the mission is to spread the gospel and the love of Yeshua! I will say though the only reason I knew that was from the reviews and a little...
