Citizens Coffee & Wine Café is where good people come together over great coffee, wine and conversation — and it’s a celebration of Hempstead, Texas’ rich heritage. Opened by a team of talented chefs and seasoned operators, Citizens opened in early 2025 inside an historic bank building, breathing new life into a once-loved space while embracing its many possibilities.

We’re a welcoming spot that aims to inspire, highlighting the creative minds and incredible works of those in and around our area. From locally sourced beers, wines and coffee blends to historic photographs and Texas artwork, Citizens is all about fostering community, living life deliciously — and savoring every last moment. Stop by and sip for a spell. We can’t wait to get to know you.
