Blockhouse Coffee & Kitchen — Restaurant in Richmond

This place is located in a small little shopping strip with 4 or 5 other stores and a playground in the back. All 4 of us that order coffee loved what we ordered! I did a vanilla caramel iced latte with 1% milk. Delicious! Not too sweet and the flavor came through. Got a bacon and egg breakfast tacos which comes with 2 but it didn't come with a sauce and not sure if I was suppose to order that separately or if there is a station to pick up. I had my little ones with me so I was too busy to really search or ask and besides as a busy mom, as is usually is good. Haha. The kids shared a bacon and egg croissant which they devoured.

They have the cutest little kid section and some bench seating right next to it. I never knew how much I seeked out bench seating until I had kiddos. Lot of toys for the kids like blocks, books, magnetiles...

This was a 50 min drive for me but to venture out to another small city and explore was worth the drive. My oldest thought we were in the car for too long and somehow I survived the outting with 2 littles by myself and no stroller/wagon. I was bold.

There is a small parking lot in front of the stores and after that it's street parking. We all got there at different times and all of us were able to get parking. We did come on a Sunday morning and I arrived at...

I tried this coffee house a week ago and I’ve been back 3 times already! I am new to this town and wanted to find a charming coffee house near town to enjoy and relax (Starbucks just wasn’t an option at this point, to commercialize for me) i love to support small business so I googled away. I came across BlockHouse ! The coffee and latte are delicious here. The coffee isn’t bitter or bloating and neither is the espresso. The beautiful detail they put into the latte art is unique, I’ve only tried the coffee beverages and avocado toast, which was also great btw. My niece tried the vanilla bean frappe and agreed it was also delicious. The environment is warm and inviting and the customer service is always friendly and helpful ! There is a small library to choose books from to read and free wifi for studying. The cute outdoor patio is a nice addition to this already awesome place ! I am a Houston native who lived near the heights area where there are tons of coffee shops and none made me feel more at home with great coffee than Blockhouse. The prices are reasonable, They do close at 3pm and have an awesome point/reward system so I suggest you sign up! Apple/google pay is...

What a find!!! I made the small trek from Sugar land because of the reviews and my mom and I were not disappointed! We ordered the avocado toast on sourdough(requested for them to add a fried egg which they did) and it was easily one of my fav avocado toasts I have ever had(which is saying a LOT AS this is what I order at every cafe for breakfast)! The ambience is what I wanted to explore and again, I was bowled over. They have a massive outdoor area with kids playground but also plenty of seating at a distance for adults who just wanna enjoy the outdoors. The front had cute patio seating as well. The inside was small but very cozy with lots of indoor plants. Very family friendly with coloring pages for kiddos and a mini play area tucked in a corner. However it never felt too loud or raucous and my mom and I were able to enjoy easy conversation. Now for the piece de resistance aka the coffee! Wow! They source Amaya brand coffee beans(that’s the one they used for our cappuccinos) and it was divine! All in all a true 5...
