    Fig & Favor market-wine shop joins Harwood District near downtown Dallas

    Grocery staples from Fig & Favor, opening in the Harwood District.

    Harwood District

    There's another addition to the ever-growing world of the Harwood District near downtown Dallas: Called Fig & Favor, it's a local market concept from the Harwood Hospitality Group (HHG), set to open this spring at 2850 N. Harwood St. #110.

    UPDATE 4-10-2023: Fig & Favor is now open, featuring daily essentials, gifts, gelato, meals to-go, and wines.

    Grab-and-go options include sandwiches, salads, snacks, and meal kits. There'll be gelato by the scoop and a full espresso bar.

    This is HHG’s 12th concept, but it adds a new twist to a portfolio that consists mostly of restaurants. The team behind the concept is Harwood VP of culinary Taylor Kearney and VP of Hospitality Warren Richards.

    Some of the to-go options will be dishes from Harwood 11 restaurants.

    "We took our customer favorites from sister concepts and put them all together at Fig & Favor," Kearney says. "Look forward to Dolce Rivera’s pasta dishes to take home for an easy dinner, Magnolia: Sous Le Pont’s coffee beans, a sandwich inspired by Mercat Bistro, and steak and jerky from our HWD Beef program - just to name a few."

    Richards says that they'll also capitalize on Harwood Hospitality Group's wine lists.

    "From the hard-to-find wines at The Parlor, Italian coastal wines at Dolce Riviera, California favorites at Saint Ann Restaurant & Bar, and French wines at Mercat Bistro, this new concept will give customers a chance to bring a taste of Harwood home," Richards says. "Fig & Favor will feature the best wines from around the world, including some of the popular brands you already know, to smaller vineyards and wines that will broaden your horizons."

    The 1,000-square-foot space is in the quaint La Rue Purdue near sister concepts Harwood Arms, Elephant East, and Poco Fiasco. HDF design director Melinda Clark says their goal was to approximate a street in France.

    “We designed the space to feel intimate, fresh, and cozy — as though you've left Dallas and found yourself in a corner shop on a charming street in Bordeaux, France," Clark says. "You can expect to find a fix for your snacking cravings, a bottle of wine fit for a client gift, and a perfectly balanced shot of espresso.”

    New coffee concept from Florida to open 3 locations in the Dallas area

    An Italian-inspired coffee shop is coming to Dallas-Fort Worth: Called Qargo Coffee, it's a chain from Florida that will open three DFW locations in summer 2025.

    The cafes will be at the following addresses:

    • Grand Prairie: 7501 Lake Ridge Pkwy. at Lake Ridge Center
    • Irving: 3990 N. Belt Line Rd. in a former Wendy's
    • Fort Worth: NWQ of I-35 and Basswood Blvd. #100

    Qargo Coffee was founded in Miami by Sam Shenouda and Bernadette Bastorous, along with development manager Mark Bastorous, who opened their first store — a kiosk in Tampa International Plaza — in 2022. There are currently more than a dozen locations in Florida, California, Michigan, Ohio, and Washington D.C., as well as one in Edinburg, Texas. (The company is also the subject of a complaint by the Federal Tarde Commission for failing to disclose information required by the Franchise Rule, a case that is still pending.)

    Their menu features coffee and desserts with an Italian theme including a partnership with Lavazza, the iconic Italian coffee roaster, for all of its coffee products.

    Menu items include cold brew, boba tea, seasonal drinks, plant-based Lotus Energy drinks, and drinks crafted for pets such as sweet potato puree topped with whipped cream.

    They also serve all-day breakfast items such as breakfast and lunch sandwiches, pastries, tiramisu, chocolate ganache cheesecake, French macarons, and mini Dutch pancakes topped with chocolate syrup, powdered sugar, and whipped cream.

    Each location also customizes offerings with regionally inspired beverages and food items.

    Introducing the concept to DFW is franchisee Kushal Bastakoti, an art gallery owner who has owned and operated cafes in Dallas and Fort Worth, such as boba tea and specialty drinks shop Feng Cha, for 10 years.

    Bastakoti says he found the brand appealing because of how it uses art as a way to connect the community and also to share some of the art found at his gallery, Kush Art Gallery and Lounge in Fort Worth.

    "Each location will be feature an open show art gallery and activations inside in addition to drive-thru ordering," Bastakoti says.
