New coffee house coming to Fort Thomas | Community Spirit

FORT THOMAS, KY (FOX19) - David and Lori Valentine OF Fort Thomas have announced plans to open an independent coffee house in the former Three French Hens space at 118 N. Fort Thomas Avenue in Fort Thomas this summer.

Fort Thomas Coffee, which will feature gourmet coffee and a full espresso bar as well as breakfast, lunch and snacks, was created to serve as a community hub for the city.

“Our mission for Fort Thomas Coffee is about more than just coffee,” said founder Lori Valentine. “We want to deepen community in Fort Thomas by providing a place that encourages connection and creativity. We will be a true neighborhood coffee shop.”

The owners, who have children in Fort Thomas schools and have lived in the city for 12 years, want to integrate the coffee shop into the community, supporting local schools, organizations and neighbors with a special focus on creative endeavors.

Menu items from Fort Thomas Coffee will range from breakfast options like muffins, bagels and oatmeal, to chicken salad sandwiches and soup for lunch. A variety of sweets and snacks will also be available, they say the star will be the coffee—the coffee, and the community.

Fort Thomas Coffee is expected to open by late summer. For more information, visit Fort Thomas Coffee on Facebook.
