    I found this place while visiting the LIT Bookbar that is located next door. I walked in to the cutest little coffee shop. It is small in size but it fits the atmosphere. When I entered there were ladies doing crafts and a lady that was drawing. A young man was studying and there was a free flow of light and space if that makes sense. Ian, the barista, greeted me as I walked to the counter to order my beverage. I let him know it was my first time and that I wanted something cold and refreshing. Ian recommended the golden chamomile blossom, botanical with added honey. It was a great recommendation indeed. They prepare their drinks to order so you are not getting tea or coffee that has been sitting all day. As Ian was waiting for my tea to steep and to savor the flavor, I was able to soak in all that blockhouse had to offer. Ian gave me the quick history of Blockhouse and the building strip. What is so cute is Block house offers a downtown Richmond map that displays a walking tour so you can learn about the city. There is outdoor seating in the front of the shop and there is a deck and a lot of land behind it. The owners have put a playground type structure so families and their pets can enjoy. The atmosphere screams family and community which simply added to the stars. My beverage was just what I needed: cold, natural and refreshing. I will go back if I am in the area and just may do the self-guided walking tour to learn as I sip. I recommend this location to study, enjoy the neighborhood, give the kids some outdoor play and sip a good beverage.

    Really enjoy going to this little neighborhood coffee shop! My go to order is an iced vanilla latte- love that they make their vanilla syrup in house! The coffees are always perfectly sweetened. I believe they make a few other syrups as well, which is a nice touch! They have a little quiet section for working or studying and the WiFi is great. Haven't had a chance to try the food out yet, but I see many people ordering pastries with their coffees so they must be good. Parking can be a little tough on the weekends, but people are always coming and going, so you're bound to find a spot eventually. :) Check this place out next time you're in the area!

    Pepperoni Croissant and Ham & Swiss Croissant! 10/10! I obviously enjoyed the biscuit too much to wait for the photo! lol

    The service was fantastic on a rainy Saturday morning! We had a late breakfast and it was still pretty busy, yet the service was top notch! We really enjoyed our time. The matcha lemonade was phenomenal! The only reason for 4 out of 5 stars is due to the food needing just a bit more of seasoning. Couldn't place my finger on it, it was just a bit bland. Although, I would definitely recommend the pastries (croissants and biscuits)! They were so delicious. All in all I will definitely be returning for a second or third shot!

    Stopped by Block House on a busy, rainy day and was instantly greeted with warm smiles and fast service. Grabbed a BEC croissant to go and sat next door at the cozy bookstore bar -- no exaggeration, it was the best breakfast sandwich I've had. Can't wait to come back for the full sit-down experience!

    I really wanted to like this place. They have the right vibe and the service was friendly enough but the coffee disappointed. I ordered 2 large iced mochas with almond milk for myself and my husband and an "adult grilled cheese" that we split. The grilled cheese was delicious - fresh off the panini press. However, the coffee was bitter and warmer than lukewarm (as if the milk had not been kept refrigerated). I had gotten the items to-go and didn't taste them until we were well on our way to our destination for the day or I would have kindly asked for them to have been remade. What's frustrating about the experience is that I've been wanting to try this place for quite some time but it's a bit of a drive out of my way and we just happened to be in the area this day. I'd love to give them another try but I'm not sure when I'll get the chance.

    Been here a few times now. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. They called my order out to let me know it's ready for pick up at the counter. However they noticed that my child was keeping me pretty busy so they brought it over instead. Also, if you are a coffee snob, definitely try their coffee here. It'll make you want to travel for it. Thankfully I don't live too far away to be able to stop by more often than I'd like to admit.

    I was here for quick breakfast and study! Twas the first time visiting here and the experience was over all positive and nice cozy vibe here! :) I had two morning breakfast tacos and a can of immunity boosting drink! Twas a very good one and I enjoyed the service very much! :) Definitely I can come back again! Keep up the good work Cheers

    Ok so I tried a different food item again today but what's up with the one girl and her attitude and/or the lack of enthusiasm to treat customers a little better? Rhetorical question but still. Ive come here the last 2/3 weeks and she's always been unpleasant. Doesnt speak and today she threw my bagel on the counter. Lol wow. All the other employees are always super nice even if they are having a bad day, you cant tell. I guess this is a reminder of my first encounter. Thanks for helping me make the choice to save money and make coffee at work from now on. Lol

    My first time here. Service was extremely nice and polite. My vanilla latte was okay and the bacon egg bagel I ordered was extremely underwhelming. The bagel wasn't good. The outdoor seating is nice and family friendly.

    I'll give this spot a 3.5 stars. I was in the area and needed some caffeine desperately. This spot had a cute interior and spacious outdoor seating in the back, as well as some outdoor seating in the front. BCK had a decent drink menu and breakfast/menu. I ordered a regular latte with an extra shot of espresso and whole milk, since they didn't have oat milk that day. The only other milk options were 1% milk and almond milk, which I didn't want because both of them taste like water to me. Drinking my latte, it was strong and creamy. However, Starbucks does a better job with this drink, IMO. Plus, SB almost always has oat milk available. I also got their croissant breakfast sandwich. The egg was scrambled and cooked well. The seasoning was good and the bacon was pretty crispy inside. The croissant was quite flat, though. It wasn't a bad sandwich at all. But, it was expensive for what it was. Overall, I still enjoyed my experience here. Next time, I'll have to try out their lunch items when I'm around the area.

The bar is actually really cool because the countertop is full of coins from one end all the way to the other! Haven't seen anything like it before so that was pretty neat. My husband ordered a breakfast sandwich- as you can see from the picture, he enjoyed every bite! I ordered the chicken and waffles with a side of bacon. The chicken was thick and juicy, just how we like it, and the powdered sugar with strawberries on top really held that nice, sweet and savory fix I needed! Next time we come, I'll have to try the dessert and Bloody Mary!

Our friend had a burger and said it was very good. I drank beer, which was cold and our server kept them coming which was great! Would go back for the fish and chips! We then went especially on a Wednesday to have the Chicken Pot Pie special. It was served in a bowl type (very large mug) with a big croissant type bread sitting on top. Have never seen it this way so we were kinda surprised. It was not terrible but won't order it again. It came wth a very large side salad. Also ordered a cup of the potato soup. It was very runny and unfortunately not a potato to be found. Also would not order again. Their daily specials seem to be a good deal. Their menu has quite a selection as well. Definitely want to try their breakfast!

Came in for some vietnamese sandwiches ($5.50). I even told her "Hai Thit Nuong. Hai Combo" which means 2 pork banh mis and 2 combos. I even pointed at the menu and said Hai and Hai with 2 fingers held up. I only got 1 of each. That turned out to be a good thing bc they were just okay. My boyfriend's pork banh mi was not the typical thit nuong. Looked more like a pan or stir fried meat like shaking beef. Not grilled. My combo was not the typical lunch meat. It had cubes of pork (I assume) and chicken. There were some fatty pieces. The flavor was acceptable at least - marinated asian style. Not what I was expecting though. I also like the butter/lard that's typical of a banh mi, but it didn't taste the same (maybe more mayo-like). Very mom and pop shop. I am skeptical of the cleanliness honestly. She also had to take my credit card next door to the haircut place to run it. I'll be checking my account for any extra charges to be safe. Nice lady, but i won't be returning.
