When you’re staying at Bland Lake Hideaway, you’re already halfway to paradise. Between the peaceful woods, the clear spring-fed waters of the lake, and the fresh East Texas air, life just feels better here. But what if we told you it gets even better?
That’s right! There’s a brand-new reason to love your next trip to Bland Lake Hideaway:
HOTS Coffee, the reimagined coffee shop experience right in San Augustine!
A New Brew in Town: HOTS Coffee at Hardware on the Square
Formerly known as Hardware on the Square, the building at 1302 Crockett Street in San Augustine, Texas has been transformed into something amazing: a fun, fast, and flavor-packed coffee shop with personality and purpose.
HOTS Coffee is the kind of place that smells like heaven and feels like home. The coffee is smooth, bold, and brewed to perfection, and the frappuccinos are basically dessert in a cup. (Don’t miss the caramel one—trust us. It’s drizzled in goodness.)
And the best part? You don’t even have to get out of your car. HOTS Coffee features a lightning-fast drive-through window that makes grabbing your daily dose of espresso a breeze, even with sand between your toes after a morning at the lake.

The Best Coffee Near Bland Lake Hideaway
We may be biased, but we’re declaring it right here:
HOTS Coffee has the best coffee in San Augustine.
It’s not just the taste (although that would be enough). It’s the experience. The friendly smiles. The quirky drinks. The frothy cappuccinos and creamy cold brews. The sugar-free frozen yogurt for when you’re feeling fancy. It’s the way HOTS Coffee makes you feel like a regular from your very first visit.
Whether you’re a latte lover or an iced tea addict, they’ve got something you’ll crave again and again.
A Fun Stop on Your East Texas Adventure
One of the best things about staying at Bland Lake Hideaway is how close you are to everything cool—and HOTS Coffee is now at the top of that list.
Just a short drive from the lake, HOTS Coffee is the perfect place to:
- Grab a breakfast sandwich before a morning of fishing
- Sip on a caramel frappuccino after an afternoon swim
- Pick up a loaded tea (we recommend the “Electric Giraffe”) on your way to explore downtown San Augustine
- Or just treat yourself to something sweet after a long nap in a hammock (we fully support this lifestyle)
If you’re staying with us at the lake, you’ll want to plan a visit—or five.
From Coffee Beans to Mission Fields: Supporting Africa Through Every Sip
Here’s something else that makes HOTS Coffee special: It’s not just a business—it’s a blessing.
Every cup you buy helps support real-world missions in West Africa, where the Consford family is working to plant churches, train pastors, and serve communities in need. Through Consfords.com, you can learn more about this exciting work and how HOTS Coffee is helping make it happen.
That’s right—when you swing by for your espresso, you’re also playing a part in something eternal. Your caffeine habit just became a mission-minded ministry. 🙌
