There's a new coffee shop coming to DFW that's riding a hot trend: It's called The Coach Coffee Shop, and it's opening inside the Coach store at Allen Outlet Malls at 820 W. Stacy Rd., where it will debut in summer 2026.

Coach is famous for its collector handbags, but the shop is a new venture for the company, in its efforts to court younger customers and entice them to stick around. There are currently six locations across the U.S., including one in Austin, which opened at The Domain in 2025. But the company has plans to add many more locations around the world, an expansion into tactile experiences to enhance retail sales.

The menu features coffee, espresso drinks like cappuccinos and lattes, cold brew, matcha lattes with rotating seasonal flavors, and iced beverages. The chain has partnered with Stumptown Coffee Roasters, the highly regarded bean purveyor based in Portland, Oregon, to craft an exclusive Coach Coffee blend that's served in the store, described thusly:

"Featuring notes of rich milk chocolate, sweet toffee, and finishes with sparkling blood orange, the blend is a beautiful balance of flavors from Latin America and Indonesia. Bold and versatile, the blend brews both a classic, everyday drip coffee and an elegant espresso."

They also serve pastries, the selection of which varies by store, but might include salted chocolate chip cookies, blueberry muffins, vegan carrot cake muffins, cinnamon rolls, savory scones, ham & cheese croissant, and soft-serve in waffle cones.

There are two signature items:

Tabby Cake — an adorable chocolate treat shaped like Coach’s trademark Tabby bag
Lil Miss Jo Cookie — an edible version of the chain's coffee-cup animated mascot used in their ad campaigns

The coffee shop will be located inside the store, and construction is already underway.

With the opening, Coach joins a big trend of cafes located inside high-fashion retailers such as Prada, Chanel, and Dior, which debuted a rare location of Cafe Dior By Dominique Crenn — featuring a menu designed by the acclaimed chef — at their store in Highland Park Village in 2025.

In addition to the Coach Coffee Shop, two other new stores are opening at Allen Outlet Malls: Timberland Outlet, known for creating rugged outdoor gear for men, women and children, opening next to Bath & Body Works; and Psycho Bunny, cult menswear brand that debuted in New York in 2005, opening next to Karl Lagerfeld.

A major mixed-use development taking shape on Dallas’ Henderson Avenue has signed 11 new retailers and restaurants, including a viral bagel shop, the first Dallas location of a major Western brand, and more food, fashion, and wellness destinations.

According to a release, the 161,000-square-foot (as-yet-unnamed) mixed-use development from New York-based Acadia Realty Trust and Dallas development firm Ignite-Rebees, under construction along a quarter-mile stretch between Glencoe Street and McMillan Avenue, will be complete in late 2026 (or "Q4" in business speak).

The newest additions include several brands making their debuts in Dallas, Texas, or even all of the United States.

In alphabetical order, the new tenants include:

Alberta Boot Co. — Canadian Western bootmaker opening its first U.S. store.
Ariat — Western and performance apparel brand with a shop in the Fort Worth Stockyards, but none in Dallas yet.
Cami — Women’s fashion label known for elevated basics and contemporary style.
Cody & Sioux — Western-inspired retailer opening its first U.S. location.
Guizio — Streetwear-influenced women’s fashion brand making its Texas debut.
Jean Dousset — Fine jewelry and engagement ring designer opening its first Texas location.
Margaux — Luxury footwear and accessories brand opening its first Texas storefront.
Sway Wellness — Wellness retailer specializing in hemp-derived products.
Rag & Bone — Fashion retailer relocating from its temporary Henderson Avenue location.
Salt & Straw — Portland-based artisanal ice cream shop that opened May 15.
PopUp Bagels — Viral bagel shop from the Northeast, slated to open later this summer, the second location after a recent Dallas debut in Inwood Village.

The project will ultimately include approximately 75,000 square feet of retail space, 12,000 square feet of restaurant space, 74,000 square feet of office space, and 500 underground parking spaces, the release says.

“The addition of these distinctive brands reflects our commitment to curating a retail environment that is both leading-edge and deeply engaging,” says Mark Masinter, managing partner and co-founder of Ignite-Rebees, in the release. “Henderson Avenue is evolving into something really special and intentional, and these tenants — and the soon-to-be announced next round of tenants — are a reflection of that.”

Construction teams have completed the structural phase and are now moving into interior build-outs and finish work. Dallas-based architecture firm GFF designed the project as a collection of 10 distinct buildings connected by landscaped walkways and public gathering spaces.

The development will also include the previously announced Romy, an all-day bakery-cafe and restaurant from hospitality team Tristan Simon and Taryn Anderson alongside chef Matt Ford.

“When the project is complete, Henderson Avenue will feature an extraordinary mix of brands housed in a collection of design-forward buildings that you simply won’t find anywhere else in Dallas,” Masinter says.
