Local Business Spotlight: Cove Food Park
Cove Food Park is a family-owned business co-founded by two local families, the Johnsons and the Bernhardts, who envisioned creating a fun, welcoming space where the community can come together and enjoy a variety of delicious foods. Summer Bernhardt explains… While we’re thrilled about the growth of Mont Belvieu, our goal is to offer something unique, setting us apart from the large chains and franchises found in other cities. At the same time, we’re committed to supporting local small-business owners and helping their food trucks thrive.
Our inspiration stems from a desire to create a place to pass down to our children, which is why we bought the property in the first place. As a family-oriented business, you'll often see us on-site with kids in tow, maintaining the park.
We currently have several amazing food trucks:
Be Cool Be Calm Eats, serving a delicious blend of Hawaiian and Puerto Rican cuisine, including favorites like Huli Chicken, Mochiko Chicken, and grilled shrimp. They also offer grilled pineapple on all dishes and feature weekly specials to keep things fresh. Now, they're also on DoorDash!
Jamaica’s Hot Pot offers authentic Jamaican dishes like jerk chicken, jerk pork, and oxtail. If you’ve never tried oxtail, it's tender and flavorful, akin to brisket, and their rice and beans pair perfectly with their meats.
Legendairy Gelato Mont Belvieu, operates on Saturdays, offering a variety of gelato flavors and affogatos during the colder months. They plan to expand their hours soon, so keep an eye out for updates!
Come to the Table on the Bayou has a charcuterie cart beside Legendairy on Saturdays, offering lighter, healthier options and even meal prep and catering services.
Casa Grace Coffee & Bakery is currently a pop-up tent, but her coffee and pastries are exceptional. She changes up her seasonal specials regularly, and if you haven’t tried her coffee yet, you’re missing out! You can find her at the drive-thru of the park.
Spartacos is a popular food truck that offers incredible tacos and catering services. Their schedule varies, so if you see them in the park, don’t wait—stop by before they sell out!
Durdin’s Lemonade has just joined us, offering freshly squeezed lemonade in a variety of flavors that taste just like the classic fair-style lemonade.
Blue Zone Boba serves out-of-this-world milk teas, smoothies, acai bowls, and healthy food options. Our personal favorite is the Brown Sugar Brulee Milk Tea with homemade tapioca pearls. If you’ve never tried milk tea, this is the place to start!
Dirty Paws is a dog grooming trailer—one of our more unique offerings—but we wanted to ensure our furry friends have a place too. The grooming area is always clean and never disrupts the culinary experience. And, it makes our park the perfect place for the whole family!
We also host community events regularly, with the next one being the Sip and Shop Holiday Bazaar on Saturday, November 30th, from 4-8 p.m. Local small businesses will be featured, along with Mr. and Mrs. Claus, hot chocolate, free wassail, free popcorn from Backyard Rentals, and live music. It promises to be a fun event for the whole family!
Improvements to the park are continually underway to enhance the experience for our community. If you're interested in joining our park, we offer the most competitive rent rates in town. You can reach us via Facebook, Instagram, or by phone at 409-926-3022.
For every dollar spent at a local business, $0.80 stays in the community.
