Husband and wife Jorik and Cat Blom, who are the co-owners and managers of Re:defined Coffee House, said coffee lovers experience an unique experience when they enter their cafe located on North Main Street in Grapevine.

The Bloms said their cafe offers a home-like feel and a nice seating arrangement that makes customers feel as if they were sitting in someone’s living room.

Neither came to Re:defined with a background in coffee. Jorik, who served in the South African Air Force and traveled the world for several years, also worked as a bartender for about 18 years. Cat, who is a musician, also worked as an accountant for nonprofit organizations.

While Cat handles most of the behind-the-scenes work, Jorik can be found in the front making coffee and entertaining.

“As a bartender that was the part I liked, being in front of the bar and having a conversation with somebody,” he said.

When people come in for the first time, Jorik said, he and his staff enjoy speaking with them and helping them find the right drink.

“I think a lot of people find it a little intimidating coming into the shop because they don’t want to feel like they don’t know anything they like,” Jorik said. “A lot of coffee shops will look down on people like that. … We love educating people.”

The business offers a variety of beverage options that range from classic drinks, such as the house coffee or a steamer, to more specialized drinks, such as the Knightro Cold Brew or the Yama Cold Brew. The teas that Re:defined offers include Jorik’s favorite, the chai latte ($4.25), which is a Bhakti chai tea with milk and comes warm or iced. The cafe also offers loose-leaf teas ($2.50).

The Bloms are business partners with Kenyon and Katie Coleman. Jorik said the Colemans wanted to invest in the community toward the end of Kenyon’s NFL career, and they brought the Bloms in to co-own and run the business daily.

“They had a vision for what they wanted to create ... [a coffee shop that] brings people together.”
