Blockhouse Coffee & Kitchen

Blockhouse Coffee & Kitchen More than a coffee shop / A cafe for community. THE STORY BEHIND THE NAME
In the early 1820’s, a group of colonists led by Stephen F.
(420)

Austin constructed a blockhouse style fort in a bend of the Brazos River near present day Richmond, TX. This blockhouse was known as Fort Bend, and later became the namesake of our county. Blockhouse Coffee & Kitchen is named in tribute to the rich history of Fort Bend County and Richmond, TX.

Have y'all listened to the latest episode of Born in the Bend?

Some stories just pull you right in - and this one’s full of them.

This month, we’re hanging out with Jimmy Myska & Steve Holmes - two hometown boys with deep Fort Bend roots and no shortage of stories...and joining us on the mic is past guest Noell Myska, stepping in as guest host to interview her dad, which makes this one feel even more personal.

From dirt roads and rice fields to unforgettable small town Texas adventures, it’s a look back at a version of Fort Bend you almost have to hear to believe. 😮

It’s fun, it’s a little wild, and it’ll definitely make you smile.

🎧 Tap in and take a ride back with us.
