    North Haven News

    Top Dallas garden shop grows new art gallery and cafe

    In your steadfast search for the hottest new restaurants, it might not cross your mind to visit a garden center. But that's where the latest dining news comes from. North Haven Gardens, one of Dallas' best-known garden shops, is launching two offshoots that go beyond potted plants.

     

    North Haven quietly opened an art gallery in December 2014; in February, it will add a cafe that serves lunch. General manager Cody Hoya says the new ventures reflect the interests of the Pinkus family, whose patriarch Ralph Pinkus founded the shop in 1951.

     

    They began with the gallery, which took over an adjoining space previously occupied by Valley Crest landscaping.

     

    "We'd thought about doing this casually and were able to do the gallery once the space became available," Hoya says. "The cafe is going to be immediately adjacent to gallery. We hope it will be a great destination for those who want to come and stroll through the store and maybe have a bite."

     

    They haven't decided if they'll name the cafe, beyond calling it The Cafe at North Haven Gardens, just as for now the gallery is The Gallery at North Haven Gardens, where they host monthly wine-and-cheese events. "We host an opening and a closing reception with the artist, where anyone can come and go, even in your garden pants and boots," Hoya says.

     

    He and senior buyer Sandi Holmes-Schwedler serve as co-curators at the gallery with a theme that, not surprisingly, honors Mother Nature.

     

    "The goal is that works in gallery represent an appreciation for nature or gardening, through subject, media, composition, or function," Hoya says. That could be a ceramic artist who makes "bird bottles" or an artist who paints his works from the perspective of an insect.

     

    As for the cafe, they've hired a food service manager and retained a chef, as of now unnamed, to consult on the creation of a menu. "It's someone who's been in the scene for a long time, but is functioning more as a behind-the-scenes person," Hoya says. Such a tease.

     

    Many of the details are still in the planning phase, but they do have a general vision.

     

    "It'll be a casual menu, more of a lunchy-brunchy deal, with midday hours," he says. "The menu will be seasonally inspired, and we will do some cross-programming, such as growing your own food, attending a class, then enjoying the actual food in the cafe.

     

    "There are numerous opportunities for connecting the dots."

    Summer can often be sleepy when it comes to new store openings, but summer 2025 is not taking a break. This edition of Where to Shop, CultureMap's monthly column of shops and sales, has six new finds, dominated by home decor stores, but also new clothing brands and collections.

    Here's where to shop in Dallas in July 2025:

    Aroma 360
    Home and office fragrance store at Galleria Dallas carries automatic diffusers, reed diffusers, car scents, candles, and sprays. They have a brand new Miami collection, featuring notes like bergamot, pineapple, driftwood, and grapefruit. One signature item is the Mini Pro Scent Diffuser, a $300 automatic diffuser that uses waterless and heatless technology to scent up to 600 square feet.

    Barbie's House
    Barbie Clariday originally founded a home furnishings store in 1999 to serve Houston clients. Now 25 years later, her daughter Jennifer Brown has opened a spinoff in Prosper, offering the same mix of fine furniture, home accessories, gifts, and design services where they'll help find the perfect decorative item or furnish an entire home. They sell bed comforter sets, pillows, chairs, and gifts from brands like Oh My Mahjong and B's Knees candles.

    Conrad Shades
    Luxury window shades brand is now available exclusively inside the Holly Hunt showroom in the Design District. Holly Hunt carries the full catalogue of 150 woven designs, including the recently launched Japanese-inspired Shibui Collection. Highlights include the Indigo and Sakuru shades, crafted from recycled denim fibers, and the Kata shade, which evokes the dying and weaving traditions of Japan.

    OmniThreads 
    Dallas-based clothing brand inspired by spirituality, Greek mythology, and the zodiac is online only, where it sells T-shirts, hoodies, dad hats, and kids shirts. Here's where to get T-shirts for every sign of the Zodiac, from Aries to Pisces, rendered in vivid, graffiti-esque designs and colors. They have an eco-friendly mission, using biodegradable packaging and paperless receipts.

    Sephora
    Beauty chain has opened a location in Allen at the Allen Premium Outlets, next to the Kate Spade store. It's a regular Sephora store, not an outlet, which stocks the usual assortment of cosmetics, skincare, fragrance, and makeup from Glossier, Makeup by Mario, and Summer Fridays. There is no shortage of Sephora locations with 30 in the DFW area including Galleria Dallas, Preston Royal, and Willow Bend in Plano.

    Weekend Academy
    Walmart’s newest private fashion brand fills a space in the fashion market for Gen Alpha, ages 7-14. The tween-specific clothing brand features 65 clothing items for girls and boys including denim, graphic tees, fleece, skirts and dresses, footwear, and accessories, with a majority of items available under $15 and many under $10. Weekend Academy joins Walmart's two other clothing brands for younger shoppers: Wonder Nation brand for kids and No Boundaries brand for Gen Z teens and young adults.
